CloudShare Reviews & Product Details

The best thing about CloudShare is its saving of time in the process of developing training or demo environments. I use it frequently and the frequency of use makes it look as though it is part of my normal workflow. It integrates with our CRM that maintains the data about clients. The cloning and snapshoting features allow me to use setups effectively as they have many features. The implementation was a success and the team settled within a short time.

I do not like the fact that larger environments may be slow or require more time to load, and since I work with CloudShare regularly, it affects my workflow. The amount of features is impressive yet some of them are difficult to deal with when handling a number of environments simultaneously. These limitations were easily implemented, although they sometimes compel me to make some changes in schedules. The support will assist the customers finally, yet some of the problems may require some time to be solved. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like using CloudShare in a professional setting because it allows me to conduct tests and demonstrations for my clients without affecting my production environment. I particularly appreciate the blueprint feature for training my partners. Its access from anywhere thanks to web access is a big advantage. The speed of access and the flexibility in the duration of environment operation are really appreciable. I find that the ability to deploy VMs that are not in the catalog, as well as the addition of ISO and VMX templates, are undeniable advantages. Finally, it is wonderful to be able to migrate machines from my old environment with astonishing ease. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The primary advantage is its instant accessibility through a web browser, removing the need for installation and making it very convenient to start using. This is further enhanced by the rapid deployment of environments and the platform's overall user-friendliness, which together ensure both efficiency and scalability.

One aspect I find lacking is the flexibility of brand customization on the end user portal. The available configuration options are rather rigid, which makes it challenging to achieve a smooth and cohesive visual match with our corporate identity. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I appreciate most is the speed of deployment. We are able to clone and launch complex environments containing multiple virtual machines within minutes, even for hundreds of users. This serves as an outstanding accelerator for the sales team, as it greatly shortens the proof-of-concept cycle. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One downside is the limited ability to customize the user interface for clients. I would prefer if the branding options were more extensive, allowing for better integration with our own branding. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is amazing the absolute faithfulness to our internal complex software stacks. We are able to duplicate advanced development environments with ease to use in new engineers training or to allow us to troubleshoot a certain problem. It is also priceless to be able to take snapshots at various points of a project state. It enables experimentation, rollbacks and sharing of particular milestones by our R&D groups with full data persistence. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The network configuration options were seemingly unintuitive at first to someone who did not have a thorough understanding of networks. We had to do a little experimenting to get our own custom subnets just the right size. I also would like it to have stronger direct integration points to our internal code repositories since we are currently doing workarounds to check development branches into the labs.

I love how setting up a 'Blueprint' for each lab makes providing individual, isolated labs for students totally effortless, which is perfect for self-led training programs. I find the support team spectacular and the platform rock-solid reliable. CloudShare support really excelled at guiding us through a significant learning curve, even when not everything was naturally intuitive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I wish I had more options when setting up my environment blueprints to add/remove hard drives instead of needing to do so much work on my custom OVF before uploading. There's a significant learning curve and not everything is naturally intuitive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really appreciate the deployment and cloning features, as they significantly cut down the time spent on manual setup for large training events. Additionally, being able to monitor the progress and status of students' VMs is an essential and extremely valuable tool for instructors. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Although the platform offers a certain level of brand customization for clients, the interfaces for administrators and instructors appear visually outdated. These areas would benefit from a redesign to enhance their modernity and improve overall user-friendliness. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Ease of use and accessibility from any browser and location. I am a professional IT instructor and course author for serveral organizations. I need to connect up my attendees to a VM that is preconfigured with software they will need for the course, that they will have access to after class, and that VM has to be "easy to use" and relatively low cost.

The only technical issue to date after several months of using Cloudshare for dozens of classes and courses is connecting to a Linux VM using RDP thru the Cloudshare portal/browser. It is a an "edge case" as it defaults to CON mode which works but does not support "copy and paste" from the desktop into the VM Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It allows me to work with all versions of the different software I use. It allows me to easily conduct demos for clients without having to install anything additional on my computer. It's easy to transfer my work files to the system and perform detailed reviews. I use it quite frequently. It's an easy-to-use and intuitive system.It's an easy-to-use and intuitive system. It's easily implemented into my daily work routine, allowing me to quickly provide support to clients. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes it disconnects from the server and doesn't connect easily. I have to log out and log back in for it to work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I appreciate how it can quickly clone and launch complex IT environments within minutes. Additionally, its seamless access is excellent, since it does not require any extra software installations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The cost may be quite high for small businesses, and I have noticed that performance can fluctuate during times of unstable connections. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
