Cloudbolt Software Reviews & Product Details

CloudBolt's support team has been outstanding — friendly, responsive, and genuinely invested in our success. They've helped with training, built out functions tailored to our needs, and always provide thorough, detailed information. When issues arise, they're quick to jump on sessions and see things through to resolution. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Occasionally, breaking changes have been introduced that have impacted our workflows, though to their credit the team has been quick to address and resolve these when raised. Additionally, some functionality improvements have only come after we've had to proactively flag them and provide feedback — ideally these would be identified and actioned without requiring customer intervention first.

Cloudbolt CMP has allowed us to automate system builds in a relatively short timeframe. We went from 1–2 weeks for contractors to build a VM to about 30 minutes from the moment a ticket is entered. Additionally, we have better control of what end users have access to. Instead of giving users access into our vSphere environment, we can allow console, SSH, or RDP access through Cloudbolt.

When we do need to reach out to support, the technicians are always kind and helpful. They go above and beyond to help us shape Cloudbolt into a product that is more than what comes "in the box". They have helped us every step of the way. From integrating with our on prem VMware environment to our first steps in Azure.

We have a monthly meeting with our account rep. We have an open discussion about challenges we face and Cloudbolt frequently has at least a piece of the solution. He will also work with us on pricing and timing of renewals if something unexpected happens.

It has been a pleasure working with the Cloudbolt CMP and the people working behind the interface to give me the tools to meet goals set by the organization. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The only real downside I've experienced is initially wrapping my head around the inner workings of Cloudbolt. It can, essentially, be anything you need if you have the knowledge to make it happen. The support team is great at helping you find your way, but it can be daunting at first. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
