AbhishekGupta2 - PeerSpot reviewer
Sr PreSales Cloud Architect at a outsourcing company with 10,001+ employees
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.

Cloud security assessments have improved cost control and vulnerability management across clients
The alerting system could be explored further, as it would help users integrate the alerting system more effectively. Additionally, an AI feature would be beneficial, as AI is prevalent nowadays and could integrate into environments to help customers. I would particularly like to see the AI feature added to CloudSphere so it automatically integrates into our environment and generates comprehensive reports, which would decrease workload from the engineer's perspective. If CloudSphere integrates AI and guides users on which security compliance they need to follow, AI could automatically scan everything and provide a report stating which areas need improvement and what points require attention.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Hybrid cloud platform for VM and app deployment and management, with very good stability. It's customizable, easy to set up, and can be deployed within half an hour."
"CloudBolt has very good stability; we tested everything on the platform, and it was very good, so we started a partnership with them."
"Customer Service: World class."
"CloudBolt's ease of use, coupled with our initial focus on fully automating infrastructure deployment, has won accolades from our internal stakeholders."
"Role-based access control and application blueprinting."
"We were able to save enough from reduced support cost associated with maintaining and operating our previous cloud management platform within months to pay for CloudBolt."
"The best features CloudBolt offers are its speed, which is very fast in terms of provisioning compared to traditional ISO-based methods, and this speed has helped my team and organization; we completed a new site setup in under a few days, which would take about a few weeks using traditional methods."
"Making the lifecycle management automated has made life easier."
"We do not need to install any appliances or any agents."
"Provides multiple kinds of services for managing the clouds of multiple customers."
"CloudSphere is a good solution that works well and can integrate with multiple clouds and manage all our customers."
"The product is helpful for the management, optimization, and utilization of resources."
"For the customers I work with, it provides flexibility as far as storage is concerned, so it's security and access."
"CloudSphere is very mature and very effective."
"When I started using CloudSphere, it wasn't mature, and it had multiple issues. For example, my team experienced server issues while using the solution, but recently, I noticed how much CloudSphere has improved. There used to be some latency issues with CloudSphere. It even gave error messages in the past when you select an option such as "the web server is not responding", but it has improved a lot, and now I don't get any errors from CloudSphere. What I like best about CloudSphere is that it has a lot of beneficial features, and it has a single pane for managing multi-cloud environments, which I find very helpful, and it's the main benefit you can get from CloudSphere."
"The scalability of the solution is a godsend."
 

Cons

"Support for containers is basic and needs improvement."
"CloudBolt can be improved. It needs way more customizations when it comes to provisioning itself."
"We did find it was a bit challenging to scale horizontally behind a load balancer in an active/active configuration."
"To improve CloudBolt, I believe the user experience needs enhancement as some users find it somewhat dated compared to newer cloud management platforms."
"For improvements, I would say that they could maybe increase the number of integrations and add more out-of-the-box work flows and possibly a new or improved user interface."
"The MCP is still at a very early stage in CloudBolt."
"The scheduling feature of CloudBolt needs improvement because sometimes, it doesn't work."
"The area of integrating on-prem and cloud needs improvement."
"The main issue I experienced from CloudSphere was recently resolved, but an area for improvement in the solution is that it lacks the functionality of migrating resources from one public cloud to another. If CloudSphere could provide that functionality, that would be very beneficial to users and companies."
"When we start the scanning of, for example, 500 servers, it will not handle the scan. We need to differentiate the jobs - for example, one job for 100 servers, a second job for another 100 servers, et cetera."
"The next feature I would like to have full disclosure of what's being done with the data."
"The solution must have a single management console for the resources and VMs."
"Their customer support leaves a lot to be desired. The standards are not that great."
"CloudSphere is not keeping up with the pace of the cloud and there are a number of services that can't be deployed using CloudSphere."
"One of the cons of this product is that it will not discover all the applications running."
"The alerting system could be explored further, as it would help users integrate the alerting system more effectively."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The system is cheaper if a customer has fewer servers since you pay by the node."
"I rate the pricing an eight out of ten because the solution is expensive."
"The solution is reasonably priced."
"The product is very expensive."
"It depends on how that model will be used. It might be anywhere between $4 and $15 per license per month. It’s less expensive than other options."
