The solution offers reliable resource control but needs to improve its UI

Cloudbox is just an abstraction software. There is no need for scalability. It's quite a simple solution. You might only need to increase the resources you apply to the CloudBold deployment. If, for example, the number of users increases, you might have to check the recommendations from CloudBolt and act accordingly. We have over 100 internal users. Regarding the infrastructure it sits on, the solution sits on the private of the on-prem, a VMware infrastructure that stands across two sites, the DR and the main production. We have over 60 ESXi of Asterisk and about 500 or 1,000 virtual machines.

Gain visibility into Kubernetes clusters and optimize resource allocation based on historical data

I think they should focus more on Kubernetes features that allow on-the-fly resource allocation without the need to restart services. They should implement this in their autoscaler to make it more useful in scenarios that require immediate scaling up or down. They should also offer more options for visualizing graphs in different ways, such as tabular views.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution's biggest advantage is flexibility"

"I find the self-service features valuable."

"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."

"Role-based access control and application blueprinting."

"The initial deployment was super easy."

"The cluster and workload autoscaler gives us the ability to have control over all the workloads' resources instead of managing them one by one."

Cons

"The scheduling feature of CloudBolt needs improvement because sometimes, it doesn't work."

"The management of SaaS must be improved."

"The area of integrating on-prem and cloud needs improvement."

"The solution is not easy to use. It's not intuitive enough to click anywhere in the solution and make it work."

"Could increase the number of integrations and add more out-of-the-box work flows."

"I think they should focus more on Kubernetes features that allow on-the-fly resource allocation without the need to restart services."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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 solution is reasonably priced."
