We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Each user can have their own dashboard that they want to consume. Instead of having to share one dashboard for multiple users, you can create individual views for each user to view, and that view will contain only their own accounts, which allows for separation of data.""Transparency and visibility are the key features.""The support from IBM is fantastic""The most valuable feature of the solution is its ability to create reports and dashboards.""It has already given us insight into how to optimize. So, we are now ramping up steadily its usage.""We use the product to get a detailed level of transparency on the cloud strengths.""The tool helps us to resize on AWS correctly.""One of the standout features of the solution is its groups and views functionality. The solution is highly-stable. The solution is highly-scalable. The customer support is good. They can be easily contacted. The initial setup is straightforward. It's an excellent tool, especially when dealing with multiple clouds. It streamlines the process, eliminating the need to check each cloud individually."

"The solution is scalable for our purposes.""The best feature I like about CloudCheckr CMx High Security is its simplicity. I love that it's not rocket science to use the solution. Even if you're not familiar with the cloud, you can easily figure out how to use CloudCheckr CMx High Security. You can use AWS, you can use Azure, and you can use GCP with the solution because the integration is quite simple. You can also use multi-cloud with it, and you could see the billing part. You'll have complete visibility into your cost which I love about the solution. I also love that data on any security issues and vulnerabilities are available on the go with CloudCheckr CMx High Security. You don't need to do anything different. Just run the scan and you'll have all these open findings in the tool, in terms of the priority level, so if it's critical, it will tell you, "It's critical," and you need to fix it right away.""It's one of the leading players for cloud optimization. It's hard to find anything better.""The initial setup is straightforward.""The most valuable feature of CloudCheckr CMx High Security is granular reporting. Additionally, the user interface is easy to use.""The recommendation section is pretty helpful.""The solution is mostly stable.""It will automatically suggest areas for optimization."

Cons
"The API is not well-documented. It is not straightforward and difficult to use. This needs to be improved, as it is very difficult for our developers to develop automation around it.""In general, I feel Cloudability wasn't able to support many resources.""The dashboard needs to include more graphs per team to show what individual teams are spending in a given time period.""They can improve the custom range of the network.""We have dealt with a few technical support people where we ask for one thing and they might not deliver straightaway. It seems like they are a stretched across multiple customers.""I wish there was a feature to temporarily remove certain recommendations from the list for teams that couldn't implement them immediately. I believe Cloudability could improve its automation functionality and enhance cost allocation modeling.""I would like the API functionality to improve. The update time after uploading data could also be improved.""Right now, what we're doing is we are manually putting the data in it, which is something which we don't like about Cloudability."

More Cloudability Cons →

"The solution needs to work better with larger capacities of data.""The reporting and analytic capabilities are very limited.""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.""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.""The solution must improve its user interface.""Many features still need to be implemented in this tool.""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."
