4.5/5

The reports are great, and being able to tackle additional tasks like email signatures is a significant bonus. Overall the features presented work well and serve the purpose.

The product continues to improve and we're glad to have it available to us Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I've run into a couple of issues with reports and certainly look forward to them adding more functionality too.

"BetterCloud is a Great Tool for Automating Common IT Actions"
4/5
What do you like best about BetterCloud?

The most helpful thing about BetterCloud is the time given back to our IT team by automating all the steps for new user onboarding and leaver off-boarding. Creating workflows is relatively intuitive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about BetterCloud?

BetterCloud does come with a reasonably high price tag. You have to make sure that you put in the work configuring your integrations and creating the workflows. Also doesn't seem to mesh as well with Microsoft as an IdP.

I hear it's much beter with Google. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Using 1% of Functionality, Getting 100% of our Money's Worth"
5/5
What do you like best about BetterCloud?

For the most part we use BetterCloud for user management. Our homeschool department gained more than 600 students last year, and being able to provide a spreadsheet to the registrar, have her quickly populate it with student information, and then import it with a click made our lives a dream and saved us a nightmare. We use it to create large numbers of locked-down exam account every year as well. Using that functionality alone has saved us enough man-hours to justify the license cost. We still hope to dig into more of the features of BetterCloud some day when we have time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about BetterCloud?

I still regularly have issues where BetterCloud does not create all users successfully from a large batch, where they are put in the wrong group or OUl. I can manually resolve these issues, and I still save time overall, but it would be nice if this issue wouldn't happen. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Automation at it's best!"
5/5
What do you like best about BetterCloud?

BetterCloud simplifies my role as a G-suite administrator, allowing me to create custom, advanced automation, (through the use of Workflows), to reduce admin overhead and remove human mistakes from processes. This is crucial during the user onboarding/leaving process.

I also love BetterCloud's reporting and alerting - it expands and improves Google's in-built functionality and actually makes it useful!

Finally, dealing with BetterCloud employees is always a pleasure. They are happy to jump on a call and assist wherever they can. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about BetterCloud?

My biggest issue with BetterCloud is the initial learning curve. It does take some time to get up to speed with the platform on first use.

Having said that, the BetterCloud guides and support documentation have improved significantly in the last year or two so this experience may be a thing of the past! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"An awesome workflow product for your SAS cloud services."
5/5
What do you like best about BetterCloud?

We utilize this product to automate many of our Google Workplace needs, but it offers many other integrations if needed. Automating our workflow needs has saved us a lot of time and speeds up the onboarding process. They keep expanding their lineup and services, and the product just works. All of their integrations can be found here: https://www.bettercloud.com/product/integration-center/ Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about BetterCloud?

We have not found anything that we do not like about this product. Our experience has been great! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Nothing short but amazing!"
5/5
What do you like best about BetterCloud?

BetterCloud has been an amazing SaaS tool that takes automation to another level while keeping it no-code. It's a great way to introduce anybody - whether they're in IT or not, as the dashboards, workflows, steps/actions are all straightforward to understand. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about BetterCloud?

Only downside I can think of is if the integration doesn't already exist you'll either need to work with their integration team or build out an extended integration (if you have that premium service) to get it working how you'd like. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"BetterCloud is great!!"
5/5
What do you like best about BetterCloud?

The automations and work flows make life so much easier as a Google Admin. Easy to learn and use and rarely ever gives me any trouble Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about BetterCloud?

One thing I have noticed is when creating gmail accounts in mass it will move them to our root OU rather than allow us to move the emails directly into the correct OU Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

5/5
What do you like best about BetterCloud?

I like the ability to automate remediation tasks. For example, BetterCloud can notify the admin of someone going against sharing policy by sharing documents outside your organization and then take action by emailing and unsharing the document in question. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about BetterCloud?

A feature-rich platform like BetterCloud requires you to sign up for multiple add-ons and integrations to take full advantage of your SaaS environment. Unfortunately, those add-ons add up to a pricey solution. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

3/5
What do you like best about BetterCloud?

BetterCloud streamlines cloud management and boosts security. It offers email signatures, audit tools for email groups, drive files, and decent de-provisioning tools. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about BetterCloud?

The platform is costly, especially for a not-for-profit organization with limited budgets. Additionally, the platform's new interface with extensive features and customization options requires a learning curve, making it more complex than it needs to be. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
