Simple cost controls for remote workstations

  • March 31, 2020
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I'm not wasting cash on workstations that are not in use and the interface is easy enough for non-programmers to use.
What do you dislike about the product?
I'd like to see 2-factor and security group easier to setup.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Allowing workers who would not normally be able to navigate AWS turn their remote workstations on and off... and if they forget to turn off their machine for the night it does so for them.

Easy way to cut the cloud bill!

  • March 27, 2020
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The set it and forget it type of software. So easy a non-tech users are able to enable machines on demand. It is quick and easy to spin up and shutdown machines during non peak times or usage. Out cloud environment isn't large but the costs were starting to show up on reports and people askign questions.
What do you dislike about the product?
The mobile app could use some work - logs out every time I want to use it and not as easy to use as you like. I would love to see a mobile interface that allows for me on the road to be able to flip on and off machines without any more work then the touch of one button.

Scheduling doesn't account for Holidays. Wish I could set multiple scheduled for the same device with items like holidays being accounted for.

Also wish pricing could be more of a fixed fee for so many machines vs per machines. It does pay for itself but is hard to explain to non tech users how it moves from the right hand to the left hand; then some to the pocket.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The problem was high cloud bills and ParkMyCloud decreased it by a 1/3. It was shocking to see how much it was savings us month right from month ONE. The monthly savings pay for a year of service and is very easy for user to turn machines on and off on demand.

I am not a fan of the price point, sometimes it can be hard justifying the price but it is definitely worth it in the end.

I've managed to cut my budget by a lot using park my cloud, sometimes it's a hassle to turn on and off my servers but with park my cloud it's so easy I have no issue turning on and off and scheduling on the fly.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Use ParkMyCloud if you're trying to simplify and cut your IT budgets, it's so easy to use I don't know why anyone would not do it. It makes life so easy in this department

Park my cloud rocks! So easy to use

  • March 25, 2020
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Park my cloud was easy to use, great way to get an idea of my IT infrastructure and ongoing costs associated. We can also set up dynamic schedules which can contribute to understanding our costs and finding cost reduction solutions
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing so far, i think maybe the UI could be a bit more intuitive.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We're trying to get an understanding of our IT infrastructure costs as well as pinpoint potential areas of savings. Park my cloud also allows us to shut off servers during non business hours reducing our costs further

ParkMyCloud -Cost Savior

  • March 25, 2020
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Flexibility to park your instance and have them back online without any interaction with the tool or the cloud console. Saves time and money. With one click we can have hold of all the resources in pool and have them managed with schedules. We are a big organization and we have multiple ParkMyCloud account for different projects and different teams. And every one is taking good benefit out of this tool.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are few things to dislike, but would love to have flexibility if we can attache two schedules for same resource with different time frame.

One of the issue i would like to point out is related to patching and troubleshooting of resource. Mostly when there is scheduled maintenance from the cloud vendor PMC doesnt recognize it and then we have to intervene and have the servers out of the PMC schedule to get them updated.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Mostly we use it to avoid/reduce manual interaction of user to start and stop the servers when not in use. Specially in development ENVs. This help's us to save cost and also shut down the servers when not in use.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
keep up the good work.
