We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The solution is agile and it has APIs for integration.""The initial setup process is straightforward.""You can scale it easily.""The solution includes a lot of features and is useful because you can configure all the way down to ports.""I can define all components and create a blueprint for consumption across all services.""The initial setup is fairly straightforward if you have a basic setup.""Upgrades are very simple as well because they've allowed us to get updates directly in the CloudCenter Suite manager. If you need to do an upgrade to your setup afterward, you just push a button and it rolls out the parts and retires the old ones. It's seamless and very simple compared to what we've done before.""Cisco has a lot of published information and documentation that helps users understand the product and its offering very well."

"The solution is scalable for our purposes.""The recommendation section is pretty helpful.""The most valuable feature of CloudCheckr CMx High Security is granular reporting. Additionally, the user interface is easy to use.""It's one of the leading players for cloud optimization. It's hard to find anything better.""The solution is mostly stable.""The initial setup is straightforward.""It will automatically suggest areas for optimization.""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."

Cons
"The solution needs to be more simple.""I'm not a big fan of CloudCenter. I don't have anything against it, however, the on-premise version has been so hard to upgrade and maintain.""They should provide an entire cloud offering, from architecture to network security features.""The improvement I would like to see is not one thing particular to CloudCenter. I'd say it's more of a message that the system is still using a lot of the different products and if they would all just fit better together, they all could be faster together.""They can add some of those features to make the platform more usable for different backgrounds and developer skills.""The tool should improve its security on the XDR part.""For many clients, the main problem with the solution is the price. Cisco is very expensive. If they could somehow make the pricing more competitive, that would be a big draw.""You don't get all the solution's benefits if you have older switches."

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

  • "The tool's pricing is expensive."

  • "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."
