Platform9's Managed OpenStack enables users to deploy and operate OpenStack Hybrid Cloud with a 100% SaaS based service. The SaaS platform lets users go live with an OpenStack private cloud with its deployment tools. The Platform9 dashboard is designed to offer visibility into infrastructure across compute, storage, network, and existing workloads.
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.
If you're having OnPremise Infrastructure and you want to use OpenStack in that case Platform9 Managed OpenStack is recommended to use it will cut down all the complexities of setting up and managing OpenStack IaaS. Platform9 also offers setting up OpenStack on Cloud Such as AWS, GCP, and Azure but wouldn't recommend using this kind of offering as Openstack performs well when underneath virtualized infrastructure is backed directly hypervisors not cloud providers.
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.
Mirantis OpenStack for Kubernetes is easily manageable and has seamlessly configurable containers. It also has high reliability and security, which is certainly a positive point for this product. Overall I think it is a worthy competitor in the market to compare for your needs.
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.
