Dr. Vandana Tatra - PeerSpot reviewer
DGM, Content Vertical at Agriculture Skill Council of India
Unified cloud governance has transformed audits and now improves real-time cost control
The best features CloudAware offers include strong IT compliance and governance, which my team appreciates significantly due to our frequent audits. Additionally, the built-in observability has increased transparency across all management levels; everyone now accesses the same set of information promptly. We have optimized our cloud spending by approximately 40 percent in the last two years, as operating on a singular integrated platform simplifies database and asset management while reducing maintenance costs. The observability feature of CloudAware has streamlined our multi-cloud and on-premises visibility, enhancing our IT infrastructure efficiency. With around 20 to 30 people managing daily data from entry to monitoring, tasks that previously took 24 to 48 hours now occur in real-time. My senior management has access to accurate asset tracking and discovery at any moment, which has strengthened our credibility and transparency with clients. Additionally, the introduction of cloud security posture management features, including unique cloud security policies for each asset, has greatly decreased risk and improved threat response automation. We requested a centralized cloud logging reporting system that provides detailed access logs, which has been implemented and is highly valued. CloudAware has positively impacted our organization by becoming the backbone of our cloud operations. It secures our confidential data and optimizes every aspect, from policy compliance to data reporting, enabling us to manage heavy datasets effectively. Our operations have seen increased productivity, allowing us to onboard more clients and deliver multiple projects simultaneously, all while reducing cloud spending by four crores annually.

Centralized self-service has unified hybrid clouds and has improved governance and cost control
The best features CloudBolt offers include governance and policy control, allowing security teams to set up their specific guardrails with governance at scale. Multi or hybrid cloud abstraction provides a single pane of glass for different types of environments, and self-service catalogs enable technical or business users to request services without multiple tickets. CloudBolt also offers strong integration capabilities that work well with existing tools without disrupting the current environment. From an integration standpoint, CloudBolt works well with various public and private cloud providers, including AWS, Azure, GCP, VMware, and Nutanix, as well as different virtualization software, infrastructure as code templates such as Ansible and Terraform, ITSM tools such as ServiceNow, and CMDB platforms. CloudBolt has positively impacted my organization by managing multiple cloud environments for thousands of users with a complex enterprise workflow that has helped reduce man-hours required for provisioning resources. We have achieved faster delivery through standardized operating procedures and reduced reworks due to automation. The chargeback and showback mechanisms allow us to charge different business units according to their consumption, providing better governance, lower risk, and lower cost, resulting in a good return on investment. Since using CloudBolt, I have seen a 25 to 30 percent reduction in service delivery time and an improvement in efficiency of almost 20 to 25 percent within a timeframe of approximately 8 to 10 months.
