Areas where CloudCheckr can be improved include simplifying the user experience, as some areas seem complex to my teammates, who felt overwhelmed by the many dashboards available. 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. We also noticed performance issues with very large data sets, and from an integration standpoint, more integration with third-party tools would be beneficial to the platform.
Some aspects could be made more customizable, such as the dashboard and UI. Some features may be too advanced and may have a learning curve, potentially lacking customization. Overall, CloudCheckr is a powerful and feature-rich tool with abundant metrics. The primary suggestion would be to add more customization levels. Since the platform is very feature-rich, the UI may feel overwhelming sometimes. Fixing this would be beneficial. More customizable reports and configurations would be an improvement. The learning curve could be simplified, but once familiar with the tool, it is excellent.

We are not happy with the product’s reporting capabilities. We are planning to change the solution. The security compliance feature doesn’t give much data because CloudCheckr has done a majority of its development on AWS. The majority of our clients are on Microsoft Azure. There are a lot of features and information available for Amazon, but not for Azure. The tool wasn't meeting our expectations. The reporting and analytic capabilities are very limited. There's no ability to do scheduled email reports. The report could only be sent to a single email address. The tool was not very usable. We had multiple clients and tasks to work with.

I found it less useful. My group took the data and organized it with Tableau. I used CloudCheckr to verify what I was seeing in Tableau. The solution must improve its user interface.

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.

CloudCheckr can be very slow sometimes. It's tough to extract or, rather, it takes time to extract information when the data itself is large. It's also slow if you're trying to do multiple things at once. The solution needs to work better with larger capacities of data. We'd like more sizing data. Right now, we only are able to check CPU. Recommendations should be driven based on performance data beyond just CPU - such as memory, DevSkyOps, etc.

The cost model was a bit confusing but that might because of the way we position it. We're trying to give it away for free and there's some confusion around the pricing model. It's not that it's too expensive. We give it away for free to our partners. We're a distributor and our partners are resellers around the world. There are two models, there is a premium and a standard. We give the standard away for free. Onboarding could be a lot smoother. Self-healing could be a bit smoother and a bit cleaner, easier to access and more functional. That would help.

An area where CloudCheckr can be improved is pricing. There are no other improvements needed for CloudCheckr that I haven't mentioned.

The performance of the tool really needs to be improved. It's a little bit slow. In some cases, we only have limited options, which is disappointing.

There is a lot of manual intervention required and we have to input a lot of data. Many features still need to be implemented in this tool.
