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.

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.

Pros

"The initial deployment was super easy."

"CloudBolt has very good stability; we tested everything on the platform, and it was very good, so we started a partnership with them."
"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."
"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."

"Automated resource optimization using different policies based on the environment enabled the organization to achieve infrastructure cost savings."
"Automated resource optimization using different policies based on the environment enabled the organization to achieve infrastructure cost savings."
"PerfectScale made our Kubernetes optimization effortless; it found wasted resources, lowered our cloud costs, and improved performance almost instantly."
 

Cons

"The scheduling feature of CloudBolt needs improvement because sometimes, it doesn't 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 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."
"The management of SaaS must be improved."
"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."
"To improve CloudBolt, I believe the user experience needs enhancement as some users find it somewhat dated compared to newer cloud management platforms."
"With their in-place optimisations, stateful set optimisation would be a great addition."
"At the beginning, the support was not very impressive."
"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."
