Featured Reviews

Jerry J - PeerSpot reviewer
Consultant at IBM
Cost transparency has improved and finance and IT now share detailed TCO insights
I am mostly concerned about the development side. The development side is very user-friendly, so I would not say there are major factors that the product needs improvement in. However, sometimes with the number of users using the system, there might be a lag in system performance. There might be some slowness for the report to load. If a more significant number of users are consolidating on a single report and that single report has not been promoted to production yet, there is a possibility that it could take some time to load. That is the only challenge I have experienced as a developer.

Centralized governance has simplified multi-cloud management and improves compliance monitoring
Cloud8 Platform does not have a lot of improvement areas, but I have a positive experience with it, and one area of improvement would be to provide more customizable dashboards and reporting options so teams can tailor the platform to their specific operational needs. I would also like to see more AI-driven recommendations for cost optimization, security, and compliance, along with deeper integrations with more DevOps and ITSM tools. As an example, I would like to see deeper integrations with tools such as Jira, ServiceNow, GitHub, Azure DevOps, and Slack. It would be useful if Cloud8 Platform could automate ticket creation and remediation workflows when it detects compliance or configuration issues. Additionally, expanding APIs and providing more out-of-the-box automation templates would make it easier to integrate Cloud8 Platform into existing DevOps workflows and reduce manual effort.
