Attack paths have become visible and cost control is strong but application monitoring still needs work
In my opinion, the best feature of CloudSphere is the attack path analysis, which really helps me to understand how the path works, the misconfigurations, the vulnerabilities, and how they chain together to demonstrate the attack path system. The cost management feature in CloudSphere really helps me so much; it helps me to know the cost visibility, identify the unused resources, eliminate waste, and also helps me in my spending by service across my team and in my overall environment. Using CloudSphere for three years has really helped me tighten my CI/CD pipelines and also my risk-based analytics, understand my attack pathways, the vulnerabilities, and the misconfigurations in my system. CloudSphere's predictive insight really helps me to dictate attack pathway analysis, assisting in mitigating any infrastructure challenges. CloudSphere really helps me with cloud visibility, risk identification, asset discovery, and attack path analysis; they are doing very well in the market right now compared to other software.

A stable solution that helps to provision servers
We use the solution to provision servers.  I am impressed with the product's ability to create dynamic catalogs.   The solution's provisioning engine needs to be improved.  I would rate the solution's stability an eight out of ten.  I would rate the product's scalability a seven out of ten and…

Pros

"Provides multiple kinds of services for managing the clouds of multiple customers."
"CloudSphere really helps me with cloud visibility, risk identification, asset discovery, and attack path analysis; they are doing very well in the market right now compared to other software."
"The scalability of the solution is a godsend."
"We do not need to install any appliances or any agents."
"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 very mature and very effective."
"CloudSphere is a good solution that works well and can integrate with multiple clouds and manage all our customers."
"The product is helpful for the management, optimization, and utilization of resources."
"Red Hat CloudForms is stable once it is up and running."
"The multi-tenancy feature has been very helpful for our clients. It has been working fine and seamlessly for them. Its interface is also very simplified, and it is also an open and easy-to-scale solution."
"The most valuable features of Red Hat CloudForms are the benefit of the collective functionality."
"The stability of the solution is very good, and we haven't had any issues with it."
"They are a very mature product."
"The most valuable features of Red Hat CloudForms are the benefit of the collective functionality."
"Red Hat CloudForms is a stable product. There is no issue with the stability."
"The multi-tenancy feature has been very helpful for our clients, it has been working fine and seamlessly for them, its interface is also very simplified, and it is also an open and easy-to-scale solution."
 

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."
"Their customer support leaves a lot to be desired. The standards are not that great."
"In terms of areas with room for improvement, I find the management area, the application-focused management area, the end-to-end application visibility, the integration of a direct CI/CD pipeline for developers, and the real-time monitoring and fast response have room for enhancement."
"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."
"One of the cons of this product is that it will not discover all the applications running."
"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."
"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 solution's provisioning engine needs to be improved."
"The solution is still quite immature."
"I have issues with the solution's permissions. Unlike VMware, the product doesn't allow folder-type permissions."
"It is difficult to create a complete dashboard that includes all the needed features or catalogs."
"Because the solution needs to integrate with other products that surround it, there is a lot of configuration required, and this can be quite complex. It's not as easy as it is with, for example, VMware."
"Our clients had challenges or issues with the updates. Its updates should be better managed."
"Because the solution needs to integrate with other products that surround it, there is a lot of configuration required, and this can be quite complex. It's not as easy as it is with, for example, VMware."
"The complexity of the solution is a bit high in comparison to VMware."
 

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."
"Red Hat CloudForms has a subscript-based pricing model. The cost is approximately $20,000 annually which allows you to use as many users as you want."
"The product's licensing is based on the number of servers."
"It is definitely cheaper than VMware. Everything is included. There is no challenge there."
"Red Hat CloudForms is a bit expensive."
"The price of Red Hat CloudForms was not competitive, it was expensive."
