Guía de las 10 Mejores Plataformas de Gestión en la Nube de 2026

CloudFuze’s main focus with its core product seems to be on cloud migrations, but during the course of my time with it, I found it handles user access very well.

Why I Picked CloudFuze:

I found CloudFuze’s cloud file security features to be quite comprehensive for user access management, with an entire page dedicated to it. You can add and delete user accounts, as well as edit their status to or from administrators. If you have several users you need to keep track of, you can group them into teams that you manage with bulk actions.

CloudFuze Standout Features and Integrations

Features that made me recommend CloudFuze for user access management include API keys and secure cloud access that let you control who can access your cloud from external platforms. There’s also an audit function that shows you how the files you’ve shared are being used, with information on general access and downloads.

Integrations are pre-built for major cloud platforms as well as Slack, Microsoft Teams, Defender, and Sharepoint.

CloudStack is a free open-source Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) CMP from Apache meant for use on both on-premise and hybrid environments.

Why I Picked Apache CloudStack:

As I’ve mentioned above, CloudStack is an Apache product, meaning it’s completely open-source and has a thriving developer community behind it. This makes it an ideal option for deployments where you need to implement functionality that you can’t find anywhere else but without needing to build everything from scratch.

Apache CloudStack Standout Features and Integrations

Features in CloudStack that I really like for working on open-source software include a powerful and extensively documented API that you can use to extend the functionality of the product with things like custom integrations. CloudStack also allows you to work with the APIs for AWS S3 and EC2.

It’s also hypervisor-agnostic, so you can run it on KVM, VMware, Citrix XenProject and XenServer, BareMetal through IPMI, vSphere through vCenter, and LXC.

Integrations are available via an API that you can use to build custom solutions to connect third-party services.

Azure Storage Explorer is one of several products Microsoft offers in its suite of cloud computing tools. It’s used to manage multiple cloud environments both on and off the Azure platform.

Why I Picked Azure Storage Explorer:

I chose Storage Explorer because it supports a comprehensive list of resource types. If you want to use your Azure account, you can connect to queues, blob containers, and Azure Data Lake Storage Gen2 directories and containers. If you’re using a shared access signature (SAS) URL, you can connect to all four previously mentioned resources, as well as tables and file shares.

Azure Storage Explorer Standout Features and Integrations

Features I liked in Storage Explorer include the presence of local emulators like Azurite, which allow you to create an environment where you can test out table, queue, and blob storage applications whether you’re on-premise or offline. It’s also extensible, with extensions for services such as Azure Data Factory to connect to third-party services like Google Cloud and AWS S3 for migrations.

Integrations are pre-built for major cloud providers and native for other Azure services such as Azurite, Data Factory, App Configuration, and Active Directory (AD).

The first time I heard about CloudHealth was in 2018 when VMware announced it had acquired the multi-cloud management company for an estimated $500 million, so they must have been doing something right. In 2022, VMware rebranded it into VMware Aria Cost powered by CloudHealth, and that’s the version I’ve tested for this article.

Why I Picked VMware Aria Cost:

I chose VMware Aria Cost because of its wide support for most major cloud providers, including Google Cloud, Azure, Alibaba Cloud, AWS, Oracle Cloud, and VMware itself. On all these platforms, you can use it to generate in-depth insights into your cloud providers in areas ranging from FinOps to security.

VMware Aria Cost Standout Features and Integrations

Features I liked in VMware Aria Cost for multi-cloud monitoring and reporting include the multi-cloud history report, which gives you information on historical trends and activity within your cloud environments. The FlexReports feature allows you to generate insights from different areas of your cloud environments for in-depth analysis regarding aspects such as assets and costs.

Integrations are available natively with VMware and other Aria offerings, including Operation, Hub, and Automation. You also get built-in integrations for Azure, Google Cloud, AWS, Alert Logic, Logicworks, Ansible, Bulletproof, Shi, New Relic, and Docker.

OpenShift Container Platform is offered by Red Hat, one of the biggest contributors to various projects that support container-based development, including Kubernetes, Docker, and Linux.

Why I Picked OpenShift Container Platform:

When I was working with OpenShift Container Platform, I found out that it provides access to the source-to-image (S2I) framework that lets you create container images using your application’s source code. It supports some of the most popular languages and frameworks used in app development, including Python, Node.js, Java, PHP, .NET, Go, Ruby, and Perl.

OpenShift Container Platform Standout Features and Integrations

Features that made me recommend OpenShift Container Platform for developers include the inbuilt CI/CD pipeline that allows for rapid development over sustained periods. It also uses Prometheus, a tool that gives you monitoring capabilities and metrics for applications and clusters so you can ensure whatever you’re working on remains healthy throughout the process.

Integrations are available natively with other Red Hat products like the OpenShift Platform, Ansible, and Enterprise Linux. There’s also a REST API that allows you to build your own integrations if you need them.

TotalCloud is a CMP from Qualys, a company that also specializes in other cloud-related solutions covering security and compliance.

Why I Picked TotalCloud:

TotalCloud came with Qualys Flow, which I used during my tests to automate several functions, and it worked very well, in my opinion. For instance, I used it to orchestrate security-related tasks, and it handled them from end to end, from scanning my deployment for vulnerabilities all the way to remediation.

TotalCloud Standout Features and Integrations

Features that stood out to me when I was examining TotalCloud include the built-in security provisions that echo the rest of the offerings from Qualys, most of which you can leave to run automatically.

For example, FlexScan gives you agentless security scans but also allows you to run network and agent-based scanning if you want more detailed reports. TruRisk uses a risk-based approach to security for your cloud environments to protect you from threats like malware and ransomware.

Integrations are pre-built for major cloud providers and available natively with other Qualys products such as InstaProtect, FlexScan, Flow, and TruRisk.

The team that built Morpheus Data was looking for a solution that fit their DevOps pipeline at an application factory and decided to make their own when they couldn’t find one.

Why I Picked Morpheus Data:

I chose Morpheus Data because of its support for open-container orchestration. When you pair this with its standard cloud management features, it becomes a useful unified tool for anyone looking to run hybrid setups.

Morpheus Data Standout Features and Integrations

Features in Morpheus Data that caught my attention include the no-code setup for Kubernetes and private clouds, making it easy for non-technical people to get started with their own deployments. It can also integrate tools like load balancers, DNS, and networks to convert hypervisors like KVM, Nutanix, and VMware into private clouds with full multi-tenancy.

Integrations are pre-built for Microsoft DNS, Github, Docker, Chef, Ansible, Puppet, Remedy, Jenkins, PowerDNS, and ServiceNow, as well as major cloud platforms.

CloudBolt is a multi and hybrid cloud management platform that supports various deployment options, including containers.

Why I Picked CloudBolt:

CloudBolt won me over with its self-service features that let me order resources like storage, compute, and application stacks and have them available almost immediately. For most of the time I spent with it, I wasn’t worried about shadow IT, when employees use hardware or software that hasn’t been approved by the IT department, because I never had to wait too long for things to get moving.

CloudBolt Standout Features and Integrations

Features I liked under CloudBolt’s self-service include what they call blueprints, which allow DevOps teams to set up and provision resources within only minutes on any deployment. You also get catalogs of your environments that make it easier to manage resources, from provisions to user roles.

Integrations are pre-built for major cloud providers, as well as Veeam, ServiceNow, Puppet, Ansible, Chef, SolarWinds, Datadog, SAML, Spunk, and New Relic.

Snow Commander is a cloud management platform from Snow Software that focuses mainly on hybrid clouds and puts automation at its forefront.

Why I Picked Snow Commander:

I chose Snow Commander because of its automated service management feature, which allows you to set timed windows after which resources are decommissioned. This makes it easy to manage virtual machines like the ones I’d built with VMware where I was running my tests. You get notifications and have the option to delay this, so you can keep resources available for as long as you need them without worrying about sprawl.

Snow Commander Standout Features and Integrations

Features that made managing my environments with Snow Commander easy include a self-service portal where you can request new VMs from a service catalog or changes to existing instances, so it’s easier to operate these environments. It also provides reporting and analytics, and I found the information on VM sprawl and growth important for keeping my environments under control.

Integrations are pre-built for major cloud providers as well as ServiceNow, Ansible, Jenkins, BMC Helix, Topdesk, Puppet, Chef, Saltstack, Cherwell, and Slack.

CoreStack is a multi-cloud governance platform that supports major providers like Azure, Google Cloud, Oracle Cloud, and AWS.

Why I Picked CoreStack:

I chose CoreStack because of its FinOps Maturity Assessment Reports, which I found to be very detailed when it came to my spending. It made forecasts to tell me whether my current spending habits were sustainable with my budget and even provided suggestions for cost savings and optimizations.

CoreStack Standout Features and Integrations

Features that make CoreStack great for FinOps, in my opinion, include real-time monitoring for drifts in your spending with alerts that get you back in line. You also get alerts as soon as services deploy, so you know exactly what’s using up resources in your environments, making it easier to manage costs.

Integrations are pre-built for major cloud providers, as well as Nagios, Zabbix, Nessus, Chef, and ServiceNow. There are also several APIs that allow you to connect to other tools.
