CloudCheckr Room for Improvement

Nigel Mullings - PeerSpot reviewer

CloudCheckr CMx High Security is complex. There are a lot of menus, and if you do not know what you are looking for you can get lost. However, the interface is self-explanatory. It's easy to understand where to go to get what you want.

We are not happy with the product’s reporting capabilities. We are planning to change the solution. The security compliance feature doesn’t give much data because CloudCheckr has done a majority of its development on AWS. The majority of our clients are on Microsoft Azure. There are a lot of features and information available for Amazon, but not for Azure. The tool wasn't meeting our expectations.

The reporting and analytic capabilities are very limited. There's no ability to do scheduled email reports. The report could only be sent to a single email address. The tool was not very usable. We had multiple clients and tasks to work with.

What needs to be improved in CloudCheckr CMx High Security is integration. All the clouds are going quite fast, for example, all the cloud providers: Microsoft, Google, etc. CloudCheckr CMx High Security is good with AWS, no doubt about it, but with Azure and Google Cloud, I find that the solution is slow in that direction. If the vendor planned for CloudCheckr CMx High Security to be automated just for AWS, then it does make sense. If not, if the vendor is also targeting good integration with Google and Microsoft, then CloudCheckr CMx High Security integration needs improvement, in particular, it has to be faster. At the moment, its integration with Azure is not as good as its integration with AWS. With GCP, integration is nowhere.

What I'd like to see in the next release of CloudCheckr CMx High Security is from a security perspective because I've been working on independent security tools as well, so the future roadmap should include all the different kinds of compliances and vulnerabilities. Think about it from a FinTech company's perspective where there are different kinds of compliances around the data, infrastructure hardening, etc. If CloudCheckr CMx High Security could include all that, and it would have everything in terms of security in just a single solution, that's what I'd like to see in the future.

I found it less useful. My group took the data and organized it with Tableau. I used CloudCheckr to verify what I was seeing in Tableau. The solution must improve its user interface.

The cost model was a bit confusing but that might because of the way we position it. We're trying to give it away for free and there's some confusion around the pricing model. It's not that it's too expensive. We give it away for free to our partners. We're a distributor and our partners are resellers around the world. There are two models, there is a premium and a standard. We give the standard away for free. Onboarding could be a lot smoother. 

Self-healing could be a bit smoother and a bit cleaner, easier to access and more functional. That would help.

The performance of the tool really needs to be improved. It's a little bit slow.

In some cases, we only have limited options, which is disappointing.

CloudCheckr can be very slow sometimes. It's tough to extract or, rather, it takes time to extract information when the data itself is large. It's also slow if you're trying to do multiple things at once. The solution needs to work better with larger capacities of data.

We'd like more sizing data. Right now, we only are able to check CPU. Recommendations should be driven based on performance data beyond just CPU - such as memory, DevSkyOps, etc.

There is a lot of manual intervention required and we have to input a lot of data.

Many features still need to be implemented in this tool.
