CloudShare Reviews & Product Details

I’m amazed at how easy it is to duplicate entire environments with just a few clicks. The live collaboration is fantastic—multiple users can modify everything simultaneously in real time without interruptions or issues. On top of that, it offers robust security.

In my experience, the mobile app feels pretty useless as it is right now. A better interface—or even a complete overhaul—would be very welcome. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's great for running my demo environment. Once we build out our infrastructure as a template, it's easy to share with my team and get repeatable results. I also love the auto-sleep and auto-delete features. After you've spent a bunch of time with a customer showing off your tool, the last thing you want to worry about is having to shut your system down, then comes CloudShare to the rescue with configurable sleep and delete environment times. This helps my team maintain a reasonable budget for our system vs other cloud offerings that don't offer this feature, leading to billing for time we are not using the system.

Sometimes the environment is slow to spin up. To combat this, I make sure that I spin my environment 20 minutes before a demo. This could be more a function of the size of infrastructure we are deploying at once, and might not be a CloudShare issue at all. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the ease with which the so-called blueprints can be created, which are the images used to distribute the course. These blueprints can be updated really quickly, allowing the course to be kept up-to-date without needing to recreate the environments each time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

In general, I don't have many problems with CloudShare, but the performance could be improved at certain times of the day when, for some reason, it slightly drops. 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.

it may be the user accounts that are registered in the machine's review, sometimes even with the change, you have to rewrite the information by hand Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really appreciate that I don’t have to be a cloud specialist to configure the environment. On top of that, the platform stands out for its stability and for how smooth and fluid it feels to use day to day. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It isn’t a cheap option. The price is quite high, and that’s my only complaint about it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The setup is incredibly quick. What I value most is the stability it provides when suspending and resuming environments; it’s a relief to see that configurations stay intact and don’t break during the process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

At first, the learning curve can feel somewhat steep, especially if you don’t have a purely technical background. 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.

The best thing is the symmetry between environments: the client can access an exact replica of my configuration, and everything works smoothly from the first try. The interface is so intuitive that it lets you focus on the demo, not the tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The entry cost feels a bit high for small-scale projects, and I’d really appreciate a more flexible pricing model. That’s all. 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.

I like that CloudShare is intuitive, which makes it easy for students not to worry too much about learning how to use the platform. I also value the ability to share documents and review students' progress, which helps make the workshop easier for them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes communication can get a little lost or be a bit slow to load. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
