Provides recommendations regarding how cost and consumption can be adjusted, but the reporting and analytic capabilities are very limited
Reviewed on Mar 06, 2024
Review provided by PeerSpot
What is our primary use case?
We use the solution primarily to look at Azure consumption data for our clients.
How has it helped my organization?
The product gives some recommendations on how cost can be optimized based on usage. We take those recommendations and have discussions with our clients on what they can potentially do to achieve cost savings.
What is most valuable?
The dashboards were useful for visualizing where the cost and consumption are allocated. The recommendation section is pretty helpful. It provides an analysis of where cost and consumption can be adjusted.
What needs improvement?
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.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using the solution for roughly two years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
I rate the tool’s stability an eight out of ten. We haven’t had any usability issues.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
I rate the tool’s scalability an eight out of ten.
How are customer service and support?
Initially, our experience with support was not that good. Eventually, there was a discussion with our account representative, and we got some additional support to help us through some of the issues we were having. It is easy to create and submit cases. It was also easy to get updates on cases. It's pretty simple.
The solution has an online portal that we can use to submit cases. However, the type of responses we got back, and the level of assistance from the support persons reviewing our cases were not what we needed. We needed a little bit more in-depth help, which the team couldn’t provide. We had to go directly to our account representative to get the right response.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Neutral
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup was pretty straightforward. It was standard. I rate the ease of setup a seven out of ten. The deployment was very quick. We can have the tool up and running within a couple of hours. Adding clients or tenants to the tool takes 45 to 50 minutes as long as we have the developer access to the tenant to set up the configuration. A cloud architect and I deploy the solution.
We do not do any maintenance for the tool. It is a SaaS tool. It is hosted by the provider. However, the data is not stored by the tool. The tool reads data from different Azure tenants that we configure on it. The data isn't written anywhere. It's just read from the Microsoft tenant.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
The price depends on the actual Azure consumption and what we feed into it. The cost is on par with other providers.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
CloudBolt seems to have better reporting. It has a lot more flexibility in reporting. The support is so far better than what CloudCheckr offers.
What other advice do I have?
Overall, I rate the tool a six out of ten.

Syncing files across devices made easy.

Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
I really like that I could sync my files from my mobile phone to my laptop using CloudChecker CMx. It is not that costly as well compared to its competitors.
What do you dislike about the product?
The area that needs improvement is its navigation though. Not that user friendly if you are still new to it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Mostly management of files and accessing them across devices as well as providing storage.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
CloudCheckr it gathers Microsoft Azure and public cloud insights in one platform and the IaaS management, the dashboard alerts are really helpful and helps in multi cloud infrastructure

A stable and scalable solution that enables users to evaluate spending and lower their expenses
Reviewed on Aug 24, 2023
Review from a verified AWS customer
What is our primary use case?
We had not been evaluating the spending for our group. So we used CloudCheckr to evaluate what we had running and how much it cost to turn off what we did not need.
What is most valuable?
The solution is scalable for our purposes.
What needs improvement?
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.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using the solution for two weeks.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
I did not see any instability. I rate the product’s stability a ten out of ten.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
I rate the scalability an eight out of ten.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
Tableau is more useful than CloudCheckr.
What other advice do I have?
People wanting to use the solution must check the documentation and be prepared for a learning curve. Overall, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
Private Cloud
If public cloud, private cloud, or hybrid cloud, which cloud provider do you use?
