    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.

    We host many VMs on our data centers for various customers using SUSE OpenStack Cloud. It makes it easier to host them on their own private servers for creating on premises private cloud servers. It does this job very well.

    SUSE
    Both of these have equal capabilities in creating and spawning VMs. Both are opensource and very well suited for customers who are in need of building and maintaining their own private clouds on their own on premises network infrastructures. In comparison, SUSE OpenStack Cloud is little behind in terms of providing faster updates. It also has room for improvement in terms of providing support.
