There were a lot of basic features missing. After 2 years of initial Openstack deployment there was no DNSaaS available and the loadbalancer solution was very unstable. This was partly caused by the organisation because nobody knew how to build a cloud system and first first few iterations of this private cloud were build like traditional bare metal infrastructure. If the investment for the private cloud had been used to adapt a public cloud provider for all non critical applications the benefit of the organisation would be greater. There are tools like Kubernetes / Mesos that can help abstract the infrastructure layer so you can move between different providers. I have seen kubernetes federations setups between kubernetes clusters on AWS and kubernetes clusters that were hosted inhouse.
