Pros
"It's one of the leading players for cloud optimization. It's hard to find anything better.""The most valuable feature of CloudCheckr CMx High Security is granular reporting. Additionally, the user interface is easy to use.""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.""The recommendation section is pretty helpful.""The initial setup is straightforward.""It will automatically suggest areas for optimization.""The solution is mostly stable."

Cons
"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.""The solution needs to work better with larger capacities of data.""Many features still need to be implemented in this tool.""Self-healing could be a bit smoother and a bit cleaner, easier to access and more functional. That would help.""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.""The performance of the tool really needs to be improved.""The solution must improve its user interface."

More CloudCheckr Cons →

"This solution is no longer managing tapes correctly.""We'd like to see some AI model training for machine learning.""We have not been able to use deduplication.""Lack of sufficient documentation, particularly in Spanish.""SMB storage and HPC is not compatible and it should be supported by IBM Spectrum Computing.""Spectrum Computing is lagging behind other products, most likely because it hasn't been shifted to the cloud."

  • "The solution is reasonably priced."
  • "The cost is on par with other providers."
