If you want to start a private or public cloud, openstack is the best open source and free solution you will find

What do you dislike?

I reckon that OpenStack may be a difficult to start with (I'm talking about production ready deployment, not a development one). It's modular architecture is flexible but it may be difficult to find out what is going on. For instance, you have to repeat configuration across components, keep them in sync. Besides, OpenStack touches some advanced technologies such as network or compute virtualization so it requires a vast knowledge to setup and maintain it.

What do you like best?

What I value the most at OpenStack is the OpenSource community support that comes up in many ways. Firstly, it easy to find an OpenStack installation designated for platform of your choice (we used RDO for a RedHat installation). Secondly, there is a thriving discussion list were you can easily find help about almost everything. Lastly, there is a wide variety of plugins, thrid part projects that may potentially help meeting your business goals. For instance, we used Sahara to easily deploy Hadoop clusters. Thus, we didn't need to focus at all at cluster provisioning - we used use already existing tools which is great about OpenStack.

Recommendations to others considering the product

It is clearly a leading OpenSource IaaS platform (just take a look at its community and supporting companies). However, it requires an expertise in advanced topic (virtualization in its all aspects: compute, network, storage). Hence, it may be a difficult to start with but it certainly pays off.

What do you dislike?

Nothing. I prefer it to a lot of other services.

What do you like best?

We deployed on our own server. Very easy to monitor and apply security and limit pool of users.

What do you dislike?

Setup is very painful, and if you don't need all the features it's hard to trim down the documentation to find your way through it based on your needs.

What do you like best?

The fact that it uses readily-available low-level tools, it makes easier to work with it

Recommendations to others considering the product

Be sure you understand the cost-benefit tradeoffs, as it's not that easy to setup and it requires a lot of time for maintenance. Consider if you really need all the flexibility it provides. Take into account some time to figure out which subset of features you need.
