"Automate Everyday Task"
5/5
What do you like best about BetterCloud?

BetterCloud makes creating workflows extremely easy. There's no need to know how to code or how all the APIs work, an extreme amount of automation takes place directly in the BetterCloud interface. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about BetterCloud?

The older Bettercloud admin console still has features that the new console does not have. Those features allow for more granular permissions, especially within private Google Calendars and individaul files in Google Drive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A secret Weapon for any Google Workspace Admin"
4.5/5
What do you like best about BetterCloud?

The ability to roll out configurations, and standardize signatures and email filters across all of the business accounts is a truly remarkable time saver. The health and insight center is also an invaluable tool that can alert you to misconfigurations on the domain that could possibly lead to security disruptions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about BetterCloud?

I wish there was an option to share a central contact list that could be updated and pushed to all users. Also an option to delegate access to google a user's google drive folder would be great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"BetterCloud"
3.5/5
What do you like best about BetterCloud?

BetterCloud makes it very easy to integrate and build workflows with their built-in integrations. All actions or alerts are predefined, so there is no additional configuration or mapping that you need to do to get an integration working. Everything pretty much works "out of the box". You also have the ability to create custom integrations if they don't have a pre-built one, so that is a nice option. However, creating custom integrations is much more complicated than doing anything else with the platform, and has a steep learning curve. This functionality could definitely be improved, but I am still glad it is an option, and it can only get better from here.

BetterCloud support is also really good, with multiple different ways to get help, including live chat, where I always get a response within minutes of initiating. You are also alwasy connected directly to a real person, and never have to go through any sort of AI assisted support prompt. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about BetterCloud?

There are two different versions of BetterCloud that exist currently. G.bettercloud is their old platform that they typically don't recommend using anymore, while App.BetterCloud is the new platform that is actively being updated. We actively use both versions at our company.

G.bettercloud is old, and it feels old. The UI is dated and the functionality can be slow and very glitchy. However, it is much more intuitive to navigate and to take actions against user accounts than in app. It aligns much more closely to a typical web service in terms of administration.

App.bettercloud is much newer and much more responsive. However taking actions against individual user accounts is more cumbersome, with more steps that feel unnecessary.

App.bc is where all the workflow functionality lives. You cannot do anything with workflows in g.bc. So what ends up happening at our company is if we want to do anything with workflows, we will use app.bc, but if we need to interact with individual accounts or groups, we will use g.bc.

"Overall a nice product and a useful tool for IT support agents."
4/5
What do you like best about BetterCloud?

The application's user interface is intuitive and easy to navigate. This makes it simple for IT support personnel, even those with varying levels of technical expertise, to use the tool effectively. Bettercloud also offers a wide range of features that cover various aspects of IT support. From user management to security controls, the tool provides an all-in-one solution for managing cloud applications efficiently. The automation features (BetterCloud Workflows) are very useful! Being able to set up customized workflows for offboarding tasks has significantly reduced the chance of human errors and streamlined our offboarding procedures. Bettercloud's audit tools provide an in-depth and granular view of our Google Drive data. The ability to monitor file access, changes, and permissions has been invaluable in ensuring data security and compliance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about BetterCloud?

The main concern I'd like to address is the lack of support for Google Shared Drive within the Google Drive Audit Tools. As an organization that heavily relies on Google Shared Drives for collaborative projects and team file management, this limitation has proven to be a significant drawback. Additionally, compound conditionals, which combine multiple conditions using logical operators (e.g., AND, OR), are essential for creating more sophisticated automation scenarios. They allow users to create workflows that take into account multiple factors before executing specific actions. Unfortunately, the current inability to utilize compound conditionals limits the full potential of the Workflows feature and may necessitate implementing cumbersome workarounds or multiple workflows.

"Great Automation Tool"
5/5
What do you like best about BetterCloud?

BetterCloud provides an easy-to-use and easy-to-design business automation tool. Unlike most other tools integrating and designing the workflow can be quite difficult. However, in BetterCloud, it could not be easier. The centralization of data also makes this much easier to audit all our critical tools for security purposes. They provide great support for anything you need to do Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about BetterCloud?

BetterCloud Manage does not provide actions for all use cases. The most common activities you need are there, but sometimes there is no way to customize the workflow steps to what you need in some cases. The API tool is what they offer to get around this but even that has some limitations on what can actually be connected with that tool, and it costs a premium to add or implement it Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great for speeding up admin chores in a Google environment"
4/5
What do you like best about BetterCloud?

The ability to quickly onboard staff and students. The user interface is good and you can quickly pull up accounts. The ability to automate tasks is there too. Easier than using Google Admin Console. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about BetterCloud?

We used to have the ability to share outside contacts among our users but that is no longer supported so we had to find another solution. I'd like more functionality concerning Google calendars. Not a huge deal. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

My favorite part about BetterCloud is the consistency. By automating some of our everyday tasks, we are getting time savings, but even more, we are ensuring we get the same result every time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Something that is good and bad about BetterCloud is its complexity. It is nice to have a lot of options, but there are so many things you can do, sometimes it is difficult to find exactly what you are looking for. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

5/5
