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.

Automates savings plan management and improves cost visibility while reducing cloud infrastructure needs
I find it to be a valuable cost-savings tool. Its best features include several things: first, it is hands-off, so I can set it and forget it. I get it set up, and it manages AWS savings plans on my behalf. This frees my team up to work on more valuable work without losing out on valuable discounts. It also provides a dashboard with more detailed insights into cost and AWS cloud costs than what comes out of the box with AWS Cost Explorer. Third, the nOps Kubernetes agent automatically resizes pods based on usage, which allows us to run significantly fewer EC2 instances than we would otherwise. nOps has positively impacted my organization by saving both time and money.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The initial deployment was super easy."
"I find the self-service features valuable."
"Making the lifecycle management automated has made life easier."
"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."
"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 positively impacted my organization by reducing the manual provisioning effort, enabling faster environment delivery, and improving governance, standardization, and visibility."
"The solution's biggest advantage is flexibility"
"CloudBolt's ease of use, coupled with our initial focus on fully automating infrastructure deployment, has won accolades from our internal stakeholders."
"The solution provides actionable reporting and cost-saving recommendations."
"Since making this shift, we have seen a twenty to thirty percent reduction in the total AWS compute expenditure, which represents a significant win for us."
"One customer saved 35 percent on their cloud bill, which is pretty significant."
"nOps smoothly integrated with our AWS infrastructure and achieved significant savings without much intervention from our internal team."
"I find it to be a valuable cost-savings tool; its best features include several things: first, it is hands-off, so I can set it and forget it, and it manages AWS savings plans on my behalf, freeing my team up to work on more valuable work without losing out on valuable discounts."
 

Cons

"The area of integrating on-prem and cloud 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."
"Support for containers is basic and needs improvement."
"We did find it was a bit challenging to scale horizontally behind a load balancer in an active/active configuration."
"The MCP is still at a very early stage in CloudBolt."
"CloudBolt can be improved. It needs way more customizations when it comes to provisioning itself."
"The solution is not easy to use. It's not intuitive enough to click anywhere in the solution and make it work."
"CloudBolt can be improved in areas such as initial workflow design, product complexity, and customization."
"The customer support is lacking but still pretty good."
"I suggest improving the heat map capability with the option to use showback values as the x and y-axis."
"From the features, I would like to see RDS RIs and maybe better visibility on how the engine is deciding whether to use spot or on demand, to replace the instance or not"
"However, it misses a perfect score because multi-cloud feature parity is still catching up to its gold-standard AWS toolset."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I rate the pricing an eight out of ten because the solution is expensive."
"The solution is reasonably priced."
"The system is cheaper if a customer has fewer servers since you pay by the node."
