Experienced easy deployment and stable performance but user support needs improvement
The most valuable features are that BetterCloud had a much more sophisticated workflow management toolset than Google itself. It was easy to build onboarding and offboarding workflows, which could handle the desired complexity versus out-of-the-box Google. BetterCloud allowed us to reallocate storage so all files created by a departing member would get reallocated to the manager, thus retaining access. BetterCloud saved help desk time by automating processes, providing a reasonable return on investment. BetterCloud now offers SaaS platform tracking capabilities, a key, previously missing feature.

What is your experience regarding pricing and costs for BetterCloud?
The real downside was it was a relatively expensive product, and ultimately we removed it as a cost-saving measure.
What needs improvement with BetterCloud?
BetterCloud's support for SaaS management was lacking initially, requiring development of a custom tool to handle some workflow automation. It was also relatively expensive. The account support tea...
What is your primary use case for BetterCloud?
