Managed multi-cloud services have simplified operations and now deliver secure, optimized workloads

There are not many challenges with CDW Managed Cloud Services. However, there are a few extensions that felt hard to integrate into our organization's setup. The expert team and expert support provided by CDW Managed Cloud Services helped us integrate those extensions easily and smoothly into our organization's setup so that we can focus more on innovation and our IT team can direct more focus toward innovation. CDW Managed Cloud Services could provide more detailed documentation for their services, expert support, and all of the benefits they provide. More detailed documentation through presentations or other means could help our organization think about services in a more significant and positive way. It would also make our decision-making process smoother and easier.

Unified dashboards have streamlined device management and support has resolved issues faster

The best features HashiCorp Cloud Platform (HCP) offers are probably the ease of usability, the observability, and the transparency. When I mention observability and transparency, those features help me in my work by keeping everything in my view; I don't need to juggle between different platforms, as everything serves as a one unified solution. About transparency, things are crystal clear and laid out openly, making it much easier for consumers like us who manage tons of devices all in one unified platform. HashiCorp Cloud Platform (HCP) has positively impacted my organization by making the whole problem-solving process easier, as if there are any ticket issues, things get resolved more easily compared to our previous services. Issues get resolved much more quickly now, with most of these solutions being almost readily available, and if escalated to a support team, we get a quicker response time, as opposed to the previous solution which involved a lot of back and forth and consumed a lot more time.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"CDW Managed Cloud Services has found pitfalls and various things in the infrastructure, e.g., in routes, IP ranges, and security loopholes, that didn't need to be there. They stripped it down and went to a very flat topography, making it less complicated. So, there are less things to trip over and go wrong, which means less downtime."

"CDW built things from the ground up for us, did everything for us and then handed it off and showed us how to use it, freeing up about half of our summer project time and ensuring everything was set up correctly and securely."

"Their proactive alerting is valuable. They'll try and apprise us of issues before they become problems. I find that very valuable."

"Our expectations have been met in terms of services delivered on time, on budget, and on spec."

"CDW Managed Cloud Services has met all the requirements there, and exceeded it in some cases."

"It has freed up staff time by not having them work on managing the infrastructure; we are able to spend time doing application administration, focusing on the long-term strategy of where we are going, and better leverage our investment in our application technology while offloading infrastructure to CDW as part of their managed services."

"CDW Managed Cloud Services acts as a gateway between us and Microsoft, providing highly technical resources that save us from going to Microsoft frequently and reduce costs since Microsoft support depends on hours purchased."

"In regards to the cost of CDW Cloud Managed Services, when I consider the costs of engineering resources that can work in multi-cloud environments, the cost of downtime, and the cost of the time to reconcile complex bills from cloud providers, the benefit is immeasurable."

More CDW Managed Cloud Services pros

"HashiCorp Cloud Platform (HCP) has positively impacted my organization by helping us reduce the number of mistakes made in the infrastructure, and we can keep all the standards."

"HashiCorp Cloud Platform (HCP) has positively impacted my organization, leading to a significant budget saving and allowing us to integrate everything the way we wanted."

"I appreciate the consistency that HashiCorp Cloud Platform (HCP) offers because I can create an environment once, add variables, and deploy them to multiple environments in a short span of time."

"The ease of accessing passwords and using Vault has positively impacted my team's workflow and productivity, as it changes the way my team handles sensitive credentials."

"The tool's documentation is excellent. It's well-organized, easy to use, simple, and easily readable. I can usually find answers to my questions quickly in the docs."

"HashiCorp Cloud Platform (HCP) has positively impacted my organization by bringing efficiency and increasing productivity."

"HashiCorp Cloud Platform (HCP) has positively impacted my organization by ensuring that the data is tokenized and the user access is appropriately assigned."

"The solution's most valuable feature is infrastructure as code (IaC)."

More HashiCorp Cloud Platform (HCP) pros

Cons

"The pricing could always come down because cost is always a factor."

"I would like to see them improve when it comes to helping develop an interface to this environment that's more user-friendly."

"When you initially engage with them, there is the idea that you will have certain check-ins on a quarterly or monthly basis. That didn't really occur until we started to reach out to engage with them. As soon as we started to touch base, it was great. We identified that there were some other initiatives we wanted to get in place. However, it was really on us to get the ball rolling on that. It would have been helpful if we had a CDW resource reaching out, saying, "Hey, what do you want to do next? How is this working for you? How is this not?" That initial engagement would have certainly helped on the professional services side."

"During implementation, I wasn't that impressed with their performance from a project management standpoint, especially for the prices charged."

"I would like to see them improve when it comes to helping develop an interface to this environment that's more user-friendly. We're introducing people to the use of a type of cloud scenario that they're not familiar with. We have to train them on and teach them how it's implemented. Having a little bit better interface would be helpful."

"They can maybe improve the scheduling."

"The ticket system is a little clunky for Managed Cloud Services. There is no ticket category for Managed Cloud Services, per se."

"They can maybe improve the scheduling. There have been times where I wanted to schedule something, and there was a conflict on their side as to who can do it and when and why, but other than that, they have been pretty stellar."

More CDW Managed Cloud Services cons

"I have encountered a problem when updating modules required by policy changes, as the existing infrastructure sometimes gets deleted."

"I think HashiCorp Cloud Platform (HCP) can be improved by creating a module for audit to make access to logs easier and to improve the auditability of who is accessing which vaults at which time and being able to generate that information in a report."

"I don't have enough experience with HashiCorp Cloud Platform (HCP) yet to have any recommendations for improvement at this time, but I would suggest speeding up the process."

"It would be good if college or university students could explore HashiCorp Cloud Platform to a certain extent as an open-source solution."

"If HashiCorp Cloud Platform (HCP) could implement a way to configure the machines internally, and not only the cloud infrastructure provisioning and the boxes, and if they also added a way that we can easily configure the package or deploy applications inside the boxes, it would be fantastic."

"You need knowledge and experience to use Terraform, Vault, and other HashiCorp tools."

"From an improvement perspective, there is a need to ensure some bug fixes."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"CDW Managed Cloud Services will not be cheaper than what you are doing on-premises. It will be more expensive."

"A lot of people see the cost, and they are like, "Well, that is a lot if we already have an internal IT person." It's like, "Well, you're not just getting that." You are getting access to resources and peace of mind, to say, "I don't have to worry about this server dying at 2:00 in the morning because these guys will handle it." I will wake up, and if there would have been a problem, it would have been addressed. It would have been notated and fixed."

"The biggest factor for us was cost, and at the time, CDW Managed Cloud Services was most efficient for what we needed."

"The cost is very competitive and appropriate for what we get."

"It is a little more complex than I would like, but I think that's more AWS than CDW. CDW actually saves us money in regards to the way they handle things. We get support without a six-figure commitment from the AWS side, and that's appreciated."

"We have used CDW’s free Recommendation Engine. That is what we use for the cost savings. It helped us find places to reduce our cloud costs."

"For my side, the tool is not expensive. It is a very flexible product that you can utilize. I think the tool is a little bit expensive for smaller companies, especially startups."

"The solution's pricing is moderate according to industry standard prices."
