    We had deployed OpenStack internally for dev purposes, and were interested in a more supported model for production use. We worked with HPE to deliver Helion, but as still not confident enough to use it for production.

Helion CloudSystem (Legacy) Likes & Dislikes

Dislike

HPE's commitment to the product is still not crystal clear, and the uncertainty between HPE and SUSE for support is an issue. We had some wildly varying quotes for additional professional services, at the time when HPE couldn't decide if it was killing it off or keeping it.
