"It's one of the leading players for cloud optimization. It's hard to find anything better.""The recommendation section is pretty helpful.""The solution is scalable for our purposes.""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 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 solution is mostly stable."

Cons
"The tenancy must be free for all metrics.""For EC2 instances, we need to install the AWS CloudWatch agent to get the memory metric because we don't have a by-default memory utilization graph on cost optimization.""Maybe adding more security rules would be great.""I'd like the solution to support clouds beyond AWS."

More AWS Trusted Advisor Cons →

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

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

    Top Answer:The Security Advisor is the most valuable feature. It instantly informs you about any system misconfigurations, and the best part is, it's completely free.
    Top Answer:As long as you have a corporate AWS account, which most companies do. Personal accounts wouldn't have it, but any corporate account gets it for free. It's a free feature from AWS. So it's bundled with… more »
    Top Answer:Maybe adding more security rules would be great. It comes with around 20-25 baseline rules. If you want more, like 300-400 rules, you'd need to purchase Security Hub from AWS. So, more built-in rules… more »
    Top Answer:The solution is scalable for our purposes.
    Top Answer:I found it less useful. My group took the data and organized it with Tableau. I used CloudCheckr to verify what I was seeing in Tableau. The solution must improve its user interface.
