Room For Improvement

CloudCheckr's Azure and Google Cloud integration is slow and complex, with limited customization and reporting, hindering usability and automation.
Sangfor HCI needs improvements in performance, compatibility, security, interface, third-party integration, ERP compatibility, and support services.
Financial management is not a technically savvy environment; they are an accounting department, so they need that footprint and that ease of transition to build out their dashboards effectively without having to run into highly technical evolutionary actions that we see when we work with CloudCheckr.

CloudCheckr is a powerful and feature-rich tool with abundant metrics.
Dev Ops Engineer at a construction company with 11-50 employees
Another area is drift analysis; there have been complaints about tracking optimization opportunities, such as how to track opportunities identified in January and whether they were resolved in February.

Featured Reviews

AbhishekGupta2 - PeerSpot reviewer
Sr PreSales Cloud Architect at a outsourcing company with 10,001+ employees
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.

User-friendly GUI, capable technical support team but complicated license mechanism
Sangfor HCI's license mechanism is too complicated. The license agreement is a distributed license. Within the HCI platform, Sangfor HCI has multiple licenses in terms of services. Sangfor HCI has a separate license for the security services, a separate license for the Doctor services, and application services. They have multiple SKUs in separate forms. As per local market requirements, I think they need to couple up these or bundle up the license model.
