Pros
"The initial setup is straightforward.""It's one of the leading players for cloud optimization. It's hard to find anything better.""The solution is scalable for our purposes.""The solution is mostly stable.""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 will automatically suggest areas for optimization.""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 most valuable feature is that it allows us to compare the billing between the clouds.""It doesn't take long to develop an automation blueprint. You need about half an hour, and then you can install or deploy it on several systems. That was our first great advantage in the project because we urgently needed to deploy across many different systems.""The most valuable feature is the metering capability.""The product provides excellent daily reports.""The way the dashboard works with the main orchestrator to combine different types of cloud providers is helpful.""The tool helps us to monitor the services provided to customers as a cloud provider. The product is a monitoring solution that helps customers pay for their utilization of services.""I like the integration with other applications or vendors.""The most valuable feature is that it has a very easy and adaptive look and feel, compared with some other cloud solutions."

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

More CloudCheckr Cons →

"I would like it if they could provide their customers with more qualified support.""It's not always easy to find the information you need. You must have a lot of technical experience to find the right location for what you're implementing within the program.""The knowledge base is not available for the engineers, which is something that needs to be improved.""The product needs some investment in configuration. I would like to see better and more optimized configuration in the tool's future releases.""Better integration with other VMware toolsets would be beneficial.""There are some kinks to resolve with the Web GUI user interface, as it freezes at times.""I would like to have an easy way of modifying the reference data that is used for the purposes of estimating the total billing.""The solution's private cloud is much too expensive."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "A license is needed to use CloudCheckr CMx High Security, but because we are a managed service provider, the price of the license would vary. It depends on the type of cloud users we have, for example, it would be some type of percentage or monthly billing, etc."
  • "The solution is reasonably priced."
  • "The cost is on par with other providers."
