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.

Simple to set up with helpful for cost management and good reliability
The only issue I faced was a while ago. My card was debited, or rather it was showing as debited when in actuality, it did not debit my card. After six months, they came back with back billing. Somebody should have verified the billing and immediately informed us. So yeah, However, six months is too late to identify such fault sightings. When I want to analyze the information, it would be better, since Google knows what I have used, to only show those items for analysis purposes. Especially when I look at a previous month's billing or usage across services. It's better to show the services which are used, not everything.

"CloudBolt has very good stability; we tested everything on the platform, and it was very good, so we started a partnership with them."
"Role-based access control and application blueprinting."
"The initial deployment was super easy."
"The solution's biggest advantage is flexibility"
"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."

"What I like most about this solution is that it's easy."

Cons

"The management of SaaS must be improved."
"To improve CloudBolt, I believe the user experience needs enhancement as some users find it somewhat dated compared to newer cloud management platforms."
"Support for containers is basic and needs improvement."
"I had an issue with the scheduling feature of CloudBolt, but I'm not sure if that's been fixed in the new version."
"We did find it was a bit challenging to scale horizontally behind a load balancer in an active/active configuration."
"The solution is not easy to use. It's not intuitive enough to click anywhere in the solution and make it work."
"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 scheduling feature of CloudBolt needs improvement because sometimes, it doesn't work."
"At times you will find that the computer engines are freezing or it's about to freeze without any notification or information and it's unable to diagnose where it is hung."
"Google Cloud Billing should have a more user-friendly interface."
"The billing process is strange. It should be automatic."
"When I want to analyze the information, it would be better, since Google knows what I have used, to only show those items for analysis purposes."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is reasonably priced."
"I rate the pricing an eight out of ten because the solution is expensive."
"The system is cheaper if a customer has fewer servers since you pay by the node."
"The licensing fees are monthly and cost approximately $100.00."
