Cloud security assessments have improved cost control and vulnerability management across clients
The alerting system could be explored further, as it would help users integrate the alerting system more effectively. Additionally, an AI feature would be beneficial, as AI is prevalent nowadays and could integrate into environments to help customers. I would particularly like to see the AI feature added to CloudSphere so it automatically integrates into our environment and generates comprehensive reports, which would decrease workload from the engineer's perspective. If CloudSphere integrates AI and guides users on which security compliance they need to follow, AI could automatically scan everything and provide a report stating which areas need improvement and what points require attention.

Migration projects have become faster and have saved significant time on complex workloads
OpenText Migrate is our primary tool. I know they have a lot of other products like DNS and tools from cybersecurity, but we don't use it at this time. On Demand Recovery, for recovery, we use another tool from OpenText. It's C2C. It's a product to back up the mailbox. I don't know what I can find at this time. So maybe yes, but the last time I used it was a few months ago. It does the job, so I don't have an opinion on this currently. They don't have a lot of marketing actions. We know this product because we are an OpenText partner for the C2C. But it's another division. It's another part of the company. So we don't have a lot of information. So, I think they can improve the communication for the end-user because a lot of customers do not know OpenText, and they don't know they can provide this type of tool. My overall rating for this product is 9.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The product is helpful for the management, optimization, and utilization of resources."
"To others, if a company is looking for a security vulnerability tool or governance and policy tools that help improve their environment, I would recommend CloudSphere because it is very helpful, easy to use, user interactive, and provides many functions and features."
"For the customers I work with, it provides flexibility as far as storage is concerned, so it's security and access."
"Provides multiple kinds of services for managing the clouds of multiple customers."
"When I started using CloudSphere, it wasn't mature, and it had multiple issues. For example, my team experienced server issues while using the solution, but recently, I noticed how much CloudSphere has improved. There used to be some latency issues with CloudSphere. It even gave error messages in the past when you select an option such as "the web server is not responding", but it has improved a lot, and now I don't get any errors from CloudSphere. What I like best about CloudSphere is that it has a lot of beneficial features, and it has a single pane for managing multi-cloud environments, which I find very helpful, and it's the main benefit you can get from CloudSphere."
"CloudSphere is a good solution that works well and can integrate with multiple clouds and manage all our customers."
"We do not need to install any appliances or any agents."
"The scalability of the solution is a godsend."
"It is a good third-party migration tool because it can be used with clients who have heterogeneous environments."
"OpenText Migrate is a very good product because it is an older product and they have a lot of tools, and they have a lot of experience on the migration tools."
"Carbonite Migrate is helpful on an infrastructure level."
"The solution is user-friendly."
"Carbonite Migrate works well in Windows platform migrations and in the case of a VML platform. The migration is smooth in Windows environments."
 

Cons

"CloudSphere is not keeping up with the pace of the cloud and there are a number of services that can't be deployed using CloudSphere."
"The solution must have a single management console for the resources and VMs."
"Their customer support leaves a lot to be desired. The standards are not that great."
"The alerting system could be explored further, as it would help users integrate the alerting system more effectively."
"The main issue I experienced from CloudSphere was recently resolved, but an area for improvement in the solution is that it lacks the functionality of migrating resources from one public cloud to another. If CloudSphere could provide that functionality, that would be very beneficial to users and companies."
"The next feature I would like to have full disclosure of what's being done with the data."
"When we start the scanning of, for example, 500 servers, it will not handle the scan. We need to differentiate the jobs - for example, one job for 100 servers, a second job for another 100 servers, et cetera."
"One of the cons of this product is that it will not discover all the applications running."
"Carbonite failed when moving GIS data."
"If we had to move 100 applications across a multi-cloud environment, then this solution would not work."
"We find it very difficult to use these tools in a multi-cloud environment"
"The pricing for the customer is always too expensive."
"Migration in RHEL and Linux environments can be improved."
"Migration in RHEL and Linux environments can be improved. During RHEL migration with multiple data areas, you have to create a similar source environment at the destination. This can be challenging because you have to install it, create the VM, install over it, and mount it at the mount point. Only then can you do the migration."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It depends on how that model will be used. It might be anywhere between $4 and $15 per license per month. It’s less expensive than other options."
"The product is very expensive."
"In terms of pricing, I think it's an expensive tool."
"The licensing costs are really high."
