Centralized cloud costs have boosted savings while reporting and user experience still need work
The best features CloudCheckr offers include out-of-the-box security and compliance check features that provide over 35 different types of compliance checks at no cost, best practice checks, and alerts. Another valuable feature is the multi-cloud overview, providing unified reporting across AWS and Azure while allowing us to create different types of dashboards based on who logs into the platform. Additionally, from an MSP standpoint, there is good ease of deployment, especially the billing and chargeback functionality for a reseller or managed services provider. CloudCheckr has positively impacted my organization by helping us manage multiple customers and tens of thousands of resources while retaining performance and visibility due to its multi-cloud support. We do not have to worry about jumping from one platform to another, and the better MSP support is beneficial from a billing and chargeback automation standpoint. The integration in compliance helps identify missing areas within our customer environments and improves them. On average, it has helped us provide approximately 15 to 20% savings through right-sizing or idle resource elimination. These are some of the immediate cost savings our customers have experienced after implementing recommendations from the tool.

Flexible monthly infrastructure has simplified management and improved client cost control
Some valuable points about HPE GreenLake are that it is a managed solution in the same pane of glass. HPE GreenLake integrates well with the existing infrastructure, and it is straightforward. HPE GreenLake positively impacts my organization because it saves money and time, and it improves my sales because I have another solution to reduce costs for the client. The client may need to pay two thousand dollars to change every infrastructure in one payment, but not all clients have the total amount available. However, if it is possible to pay month-to-month for the solution, it is much easier for the client to accept the proposal. HPE GreenLake's real-time monitoring tools are good, and I really need them to improve the services.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The recommendation section is pretty helpful."
"CloudCheckr has enabled an average cost saving of approximately 25% from the last year, and this occurred while also increasing the scale of production."
"If you are on AWS, you don't need to even think about it, just go ahead with using the solution because there's no better tool in that segment than CloudCheckr CMx High Security."
"CloudCheckr has impacted my organization positively by making things easier and saving time, approximately three hours a week."
"The solution is scalable for our purposes."
"It will automatically suggest areas for optimization."
"Our clients use this to financially optimize their cloud platform, and based on their utilization it helps to decide whether their current platform needs to be optimized and what the ideal form is."
"It's one of the leading players for cloud optimization."
"It has helped us with the planning, and in concert with this, we are doing a lot of virtualizations. For a lot of cases, we are bringing in less gear and equipment to be able to accomplish the same things. It makes better use of what we do bring in."
"By establishing a service provider responsible for backup and restore and having monthly service meetings with them, we have reduced our management effort by more than fifty percent."
"The biggest thing that it gives us is reportability; that's the critical component. By giving us a monthly bill that is expandable based on usage, we're able to report back to the organization on the value that we're actually getting out of the hardware platform."
"It offers businesses the flexibility and scalability of the public cloud while having their infrastructure on-premises."
"We have seen ROI, reducing our organization's capacity management efforts by around 40 to 50 percent and saving our organization 30 to 40 percent while decreasing the time it takes to deploy IT projects by 50 percent."
"Its performance is a significant improvement over the legacy stack that we had."
"HPE GreenLake is highly stable."
"In the next four years over the lifespan of the first segment, it's going to be saving us approximately $1.2 million in just hardware purchases and software support costs."
 

Cons

"Some aspects could be made more customizable, such as the dashboard and UI."
"Self-healing could be a bit smoother and a bit cleaner, easier to access and more functional. That would help."
"The performance of the tool really needs to be improved."
"The reporting and analytic capabilities are very limited."
"CloudCheckr CMx High Security is complex. There are a lot of menus, and if you do not know what you are looking for you can get lost. However, the interface is self-explanatory. It's easy to understand where to go to get what you want."
"The solution needs to work better with larger capacities of data."
"CloudCheckr CMx High Security is complex. There are a lot of menus, and if you do not know what you are looking for you can get lost."
"Many features still need to be implemented in this tool."
"Both times that we've had to increase the hardware, the deployment took way longer than expected. In addition, we haven't yet gotten to a use point where the cost is below what it would cost us to provision the same set of services on HPE hardware outside of the GreenLake service."
"The interconnects were a challenge originally, but they sorted that out, and It was fine. We did have to spend a bit more money."
"HPE GreenLake can improve the price."
"I don't think we have seen an actual return on investment or that the return is not directly related to the product."
"Part of the integration, with cutting things over to Unisys, may have hurt us a bit."
"I would like to have more detail in the monitoring."
"The time to receive a price when I am going to a proposal is too long."
"There is a need for improved support in HPE GreenLake, including more administrators and engineers to provide faster resolution for issues."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"A license is needed to use CloudCheckr CMx High Security, but because we are a managed service provider, the price of the license would vary. It depends on the type of cloud users we have, for example, it would be some type of percentage or monthly billing, etc."
"The solution is reasonably priced."
"The cost is on par with other providers."
"It's a small cost per month compared to that one-time purchase. The big thing is if you get your one-time purchase wrong, then you are buying a lot more. With GreenLake, if we miss estimate (which with all the planning, you usually don't), we sign a piece of paper, and then they send more equipment in."
"We have reduced a lot of our VMware licensing costs."
"Pricing is based on usage plateaus. The more you use, the more you pay."
"HPE GreenLake payment model is you pay for what you use. You can purchase a yearly, quarterly, or half-year license. The overall price of the solution is a little high and hopeful there can be better margins in the future."
"It is significantly less expensive than going to cloud for development... Our cost is approximately $25,000 a month."
"In terms of pricing, it's a bit on the higher side."
"HPE GreenLake has been growing in popularity due to its subscription model. The flexibility of the solution allows it to adapt to the changing market trends towards more edge performance and workloads."
"If you are looking to turn some of your capital expense into operational expense, this allows you to do it. It is a good idea."
