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

"Customer Service: World class."
"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."
"We were able to save enough from reduced support cost associated with maintaining and operating our previous cloud management platform within months to pay for CloudBolt."
"The initial deployment was super easy."
"Role-based access control and application blueprinting."
"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's ease of use, coupled with our initial focus on fully automating infrastructure deployment, has won accolades from our internal stakeholders."
"The product takes care of a hybrid cloud environment and it helps me maintain control and insight across various cloud platforms."
"One customer saved 35 percent on their cloud bill, which is pretty significant."
"nOps has positively impacted my organization by saving significant costs because we run many instances and shifted from on-demand to Spot, which resulted in substantial savings."
"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."
"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."
"nOps smoothly integrated with our AWS infrastructure and achieved significant savings without much intervention from our internal team."
"The solution provides actionable reporting and cost-saving recommendations."
 

Cons

"The scheduling feature of CloudBolt needs improvement because sometimes, it doesn't work."
"The management of SaaS must be improved."
"The solution is not easy to use. It's not intuitive enough to click anywhere in the solution and make it work."
"Support for containers is basic and needs improvement."
"The area of integrating on-prem and cloud needs improvement."
"CloudBolt can be improved in areas such as initial workflow design, product complexity, and customization."
"To improve CloudBolt, I believe the user experience needs enhancement as some users find it somewhat dated compared to newer cloud management platforms."
"We did find it was a bit challenging to scale horizontally behind a load balancer in an active/active configuration."
"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."
"At the same price currently offered, there should be lower percentages for some other packages because the service is currently offered at a very high cost percentage."
"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

"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."
