Pros
"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.""It's one of the leading players for cloud optimization. It's hard to find anything better.""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 initial setup is straightforward.""The recommendation section is pretty helpful.""It will automatically suggest areas for optimization.""The solution is mostly stable."

"We use dashboards quite heavily, but one of the features that have really stood out is some of the policies we've created to alert us of particular situations.""The product is easy to use in terms of monitoring all the environments. It works for multiple clouds.""We are able to create an internal price of the product that we can then sell to clients. We get the cost plan at a good discount and then resell it with a mark up to our enterprise-level clients. This flexibility in pricing is one of the solution's best features.""The pricing is rather competitive right now.""The solution is useful for cloud transparency and visibility in reports and dashboards that I have generated, especially the pre-populated dashboards.""This solution is fast and very easy to understand, even if you are not a technician.""The most valuable thing I have found is the cost saving recommendations""It's stable. For report presentation, it's been fast."

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

More CloudCheckr Cons →

"They should provide information or tools to tune the cloud resources according to the environment size.""It would be helpful to have a mobile version or a tablet version, especially for people who are outside of the office.""The solution doesn't offer the best functionality, unfortunately. Some features just simply aren't on offer. The solution needs to offer more product milestones.""The Perspectives feature could be better.""The performance and accuracy of Cloud Health need to be improved.""The export features regarding CSV files and specifically around identifying savings plans have room for improvement, as well as the drill-down features for reservation utilization.""CloudHealth needs to start building out Turbonomics-types of features that help the customers who are using CloudHealth really understand everything down to the server level, the virtual machine level.""If you are working with the OS you need help and other connectors to get more information."
