    Mirantis is well suited for someone who doesn't mind spending money but doesn't quite want to commit to a cloud provider like AWS. It is also well suited for small or junior technical teams that don't have the skills, experience, or time to run their own openstack clusters.

    Netbox is very well suited when you want to consolidate your inventory in one place. Netbox is also very well suited when you want to generate network configurations. You can request the REST API to get the date of a device and generate network configurations with a templating tool, and that is very easy.

    Cons
    Mirantis
    • Mirantis OpenStack managed services are expensive. Very expensive for a start-up.
    • I'd personally like to see a little more under the hood details in the status pages.
    • Mirantis could also benefit heavily from a free "light" version that start-ups could use to run their own cloud. Maybe coupled with advertising or some sort of surveys.

    • The GraphQL implementation could be better integrated
    • Netbox is usually very reactive except but performance start to drop when requesting 250 devices or more per page

    The API is just very well designed. All tools say that what you can do with webUI, you can also do it via the REST API. That is usually not the case except for Netbox, where you can really do everything with the API. For instance with GLPI, you cannot get rack and rack units data with the API, while you can do it via the webUI

    Return on Investment
    Mirantis
    • Mirantis did help our business figure out if openstack was right for us.
    • Using Mirantis I felt a bit cheated on understanding the deep technical knowledge of how openstack works. But that being said that is probably a value add more than a detractor for most people.
    • Using Mirantis was considerably cheaper than AWS.
