Transformed our Course Delivery **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Yolande E. | Managing Director, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** May 12, 2022 **What do you like best about CloudShare?** Zoom in feature. I have all of my attendee screens "zoomed in" to full-screen tabs so that I can monitor their progress and make them feel that I am just over their shoulder assisting with the software. Switching between tabs is much more efficient than walking around a room and peering over shoulders. More empowering for course participants. Shared Screen. Participants need to see the instructor screen. Most like to work simultaneously with the instructor. **What do you dislike about CloudShare?** 1) The header bar of the Viewer Window takes up a lot of space on small screens. Some participants prefer to work in this view rather than fullscreen (which I encourage) because they have their communication tools/file upload easily accessible. It would be good to have the best of both. Either collapse the header bar or include the file upload from the fullscreen view. Maybe include the chat pane in the broadcast window - so fewer windows to deal with. 2) Desperately waiting for the whiteboard. 3) Would like a record feature to record some sessions. I am using other tools. 4) Demo tool that does not consume our resources. Our team spends a lot of time "onboarding" course participants. This usually involves scheduling and running a demo to client stakeholders, then before the course, participant sessions to allow them to log in, see the platform and check the connectivity and resolve issues (usually audio). Having a location/sandbox that we could take customers to would be very useful. **Recommendations to others considering CloudShare:** Just try it. **What problems is CloudShare solving and how is that benefiting you?** Cloudshare has transformed our business. 90% of our software training is now completed online with CloudShare. Some clients are yet to be convinced. Environmental: No travel for trainers or customers. Time: No travel means more time on other tasks. Flexibility: I am no longer restricted to local trainers or times when local trainers are available, as I can use trainers from any location. ### 15. Good quality of voice and video.

I suggest adding a step-by-step instruction manual for common procedures. **What problems is CloudShare solving and how is that benefiting you?** a unified global demo, POC, and sandbox environment for technology and startups integration ### 18.

It is a bit expensive when using in small quantities. Also the user interface is sometimes hard to find for new people. And it's hard to determine your cost per user. **What problems is CloudShare solving and how is that benefiting you?** We want to allow potential customers to try our storage solution. Cloud share made it easy to deploy a system and enabled us to see what the customers are doing ### 40. Using cloudshare in a fast moving software company **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Information Technology and Services | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** September 10, 2019 **What do you like best about CloudShare?** Easy to use, quick to create and spin up environments **What do you dislike about CloudShare?** The backend UI. Has got better over the years, but still room for improvement. Can be more intuitive and modern. **Recommendations to others considering CloudShare:** If you need a solid solution that can integrate with your LMS, Cloudshare is your answer. **What problems is CloudShare solving and how is that benefiting you?** How to quickly and effectively have users use a customized environment. Lauching multiple complex labs for our customers and partners. ### 41. Expert support when implementing a complex fully distributed enterprise training environment **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Chris S. | Technical Training Manager, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 12, 2021 **What do you like best about CloudShare?** Support that is technically excellent, and goes out of the way to understand the nature and complexity of our application in order that we can deliver technical training. Our application is a highly complex, distributed real-time video conferencing solution. Delivering scalable, repeatable lab-based training is an incredibly tough task when you consider that our enterprise-grade application is simply not designed to work within an environment such as CloudShare. **What do you dislike about CloudShare?** Not a lot. As we come across things, so we find workarounds and solutions **Recommendations to others considering CloudShare:** Try replicating your SaaS offering,,,,, **What problems is CloudShare solving and how is that benefiting you?** The main issue is to provide a scalable, repeatable training environment that replicates an enterprise setting. It requires multiple VMs to emulate a Windows domain and other services (Exchange, Skype for Business etc), plus a virtualised nested ESXi host on which students can deploy our application. This needs to expose instruction sets from the underlying hardware and be sufficiently powerful to cope with multiple real-time video calls from multiple endpoints. Being able to spin up environments in different build states, plus allowing those environments to be suspended when not in use will save on cost yet allow us to deliver more labs to more people asynchronously across the globe. Not to mention other possible use cases such as demos and development environments that we have yet to fully explore. ### 42. Cloudshare a vital key to unlock Productivity **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Russell A. | Technical Consultant, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 18, 2021 **What do you like best about CloudShare?** To put it simply I could not function effectively in my role without cloudshare now. It allows me to create training, demo and Test systems in a very fast and intuitive way. **What do you dislike about CloudShare?** The original interface was a bit clunky but they have just updated it and it has addressed most of the inconveniences. I seem to be limited to 4 CPUS per virtual machines but that may just be our companies limit. Apart from that I am struggling to think of a dislike. It has transformed the way we work. **What problems is CloudShare solving and how is that benefiting you?** Creating training , demo and Test systems.We also provide product demo machines adhoc to our partners at a moments notice for client demos or testing. If I have an issue I need to feedback to our development, no more long report completion and screenshots required, I just take a copy of my system with the issue and give it to them to resolve. Excellent Cloud product and I have never had it fail or let me down. ### 43. Great concept that has not kept up with the times. **Rating:** 0.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Ryan F. | Principal Product Manager, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** February 10, 2022 **What do you like best about CloudShare?** For Windows only labs this is good I can spin up a lab that is complex and get value **What do you dislike about CloudShare?** Unusable for anything linux related no linux builds less than 2 years old can be used if you need more than one instance **Recommendations to others considering CloudShare:** Just use AWS **What problems is CloudShare solving and how is that benefiting you?** Due to failure to support linux none ### 44. review **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer & Network Security | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 21, 2021 **What do you like best about CloudShare?** The number of classes and the ease of use, there is no frustraiton trying to take classes **What do you dislike about CloudShare?** I didn' thave any issues with the platform **What problems is CloudShare solving and how is that benefiting you?** Training and sharing of matirial ### 45. Great delivery of complex labs, and great support **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Chris S. | Technical Training Manager, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 29, 2021 **What do you like best about CloudShare?** The support and attention from the team to help deliver on our complex needs ASAP. **What do you dislike about CloudShare?** Not a lot. If I'm being critical, there is a need for event-driven hooks from the system rather than simply polling an API. **Recommendations to others considering CloudShare:** Know what you want and how you want to deliver, probably through the delivery of other training labs. **What problems is CloudShare solving and how is that benefiting you?** Complex nested virtualised lab deployment of a distributed videoconferencing system. ### 46. self-serve environment for training **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Ramdev P. | architect, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** March 01, 2022 **What do you like best about CloudShare?** Flexibility & easiness to use ,deploy & develope **What do you dislike about CloudShare?** Reporting is up to the mark; they should provide the raw logs related to each project **What problems is CloudShare solving and how is that benefiting you?** We are providing training to our partners ### 47. Absolutely awesome Company to work with and a great product **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Ken R. | A, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 15, 2021 **What do you like best about CloudShare?** This is such an easy product to use and provides a truly realistic classroom approach to instruction with distance learning. **What do you dislike about CloudShare?** I only wish they had a standard Windows 10 Professional installation, but perhaps they will have this for the next version of Windows. **What problems is CloudShare solving and how is that benefiting you?** CloudShare has made our ILT training much more efficient and has significantly reduced our travel costs and, more importantly, the travel costs of our customers. ### 48. Makes Online Training Easy **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer & Network Security | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 11, 2021 **What do you like best about CloudShare?** We didn't skip a beat during COVID due in large part to CloudShare. Our partners and customers can quickly and easily deep dive into hands-on technical training using link/login creds. Creating a class, inviting students, and leaving them to their own pace of study with the multiple blueprints feature is excellent. **What do you dislike about CloudShare?** UI/UX is a bit clunky and outdated from an Administrative perspective. Configuring the environments is more of a challenge versus what the end-user experiences. In the past pricing model was confusing, although they have made strides to streamline things. **What problems is CloudShare solving and how is that benefiting you?** Online technical training with complex enterprise security products. No need to waste time troubleshooting local laptop configurations and restrictions. Saves Trainers valuable time by emphasizing teaching without getting sidetracked. ### 49. Reliable and easy to use **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer Software | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 21, 2021 **What do you like best about CloudShare?** It has made demonstrating and collaborating with the customers I work with easier. I have a library of configured environments I can both show and share. New product releases that customers don't always want to install in order to see new features can be quickly and easily setup for them, and automatically cleaned up at the end of the time they are shared. **What do you dislike about CloudShare?** Getting files in and out of the environment should be updated. **Recommendations to others considering CloudShare:** The automated management of the end-user environment makes it easy to control utilization. During implementation, a team should be identified to develop and administer the configuration and components deployed in the system. **What problems is CloudShare solving and how is that benefiting you?** We are delivering a consistent, high-quality software demonstration environment for the internal team and external customers. ### 50. Perfect Platform for Virtual Training **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Geoff B. | Director Customer and Field Education, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 11, 2021 **What do you like best about CloudShare?** CloudShare is easy to use and can be accessed from nearly any web-enabled device. This allows us flexibility with our ability to deliver training. The pricing is very competitive and any unused data or minutes roll over to the next month. **What do you dislike about CloudShare?** Understanding how to budget is a little confusing. It is hard to know how many RAM-GB Hours and Disc-GB Hours are needed. **What problems is CloudShare solving and how is that benefiting you?** We are now able to provide hands-on lab time to our learners remotely rather than having to have them on prem. We are also in the process of converting the bulky hardware that we bring to onsite training events to tablets accessing CloudShare to reduce equipment wear and tear and shipping costs. ## CloudShare Discussions - [Can cloudshare be used for implementing remote workspaces?](https://www.g2.com/discussions/can-cloudshare-be-used-for-implementing-remote-workspaces) - 1 comment, 1 upvote - [What do you find is the best way to have a group take a survey/knowledge check after or during class](https://www.g2.com/discussions/16203-what-do-you-find-is-the-best-way-to-have-a-group-take-a-survey-knowledge-check-after-or-during-class) - 2 comments, 1 upvote - [View CloudShare pricing details and edition comparison](https://www.g2.com/products/cloudshare/reviews?page=4&qs=pros-and-cons§ion=pricing&secure%5Bexpires_at%5D=2026-08-08+01%3A41%3A29+-0500&secure%5Bsession_id%5D=fd84be8a-75b4-4c4f-a9ea-00a94fc65bb7&secure%5Btoken%5D=e2053f0764761f030b0055102a2c01322a77ee8a67e1ca9257f648abb1f67b50&format=llm_user) ## CloudShare Integrations - [Docebo](https://www.g2.com/products/docebo/reviews) - [Docker](https://www.g2.com/products/docker-inc-docker/reviews) - [HubSpot Sales Hub](https://www.g2.com/products/hubspot-sales-hub/reviews) - [Jenkins](https://www.g2.com/products/jenkins/reviews) - [Okta](https://www.g2.com/products/okta/reviews) ## CloudShare Features **Platform Basics** - Third-Party Integration - Multiple Content Types - Mobility **Performance** - Ease of Understanding - Degree of Simulation - Results of the Experiment **Prospect Engagement** - Live Demonstration - Guided Demos - Analytics - Multiple Personas - Interactive Product Tour - Sandbox/POC Automation - Reporting/Analytics **Training & Learning** - Self-paced - Content Creation - Content Storage and Management - Quiz Capabilities - Certification Engine - Interactive Content - Course Management - Training Management - Assessment Management - Compliance Management **Administration** - Certification - Analytics Capabilities **Demo Management** - Templates - Demo Creation - Demo Storage - Custom Branding - Integrations - Editing - Security - Mobile App Demos - CRM Integration **Data & Analytics** - Visualization - Learner tracker - Analytics **Accessibility** - Mobile, Tablet compatibility **Generative AI** - AI Text Generation - Generative AI **Content** - Interactive Content - Video Content **Generative AI** - AI Text Generation - AI Text Summarization - Generative AI **Additional Functionality** - Learning Paths/Tracks - Customizable Branding - SCORM Compliance - Multi-Language - Microlearning - Course Library - Reminders - Training Companies - Certification & Licensing - Gamification - Surveys & Feedback - Course Authoring - Synchronous Learning - Activity Monitoring - Training Administration - Learner Portal - AI Copilot - Social Learning - Mobile Learning - Course Tracking - User Onboarding - Progress Tracking - Employee Training - Asynchronous Learning **Functionality** - Technical Support - Live Chat **Agentic AI - Demo Automation** - Autonomous Task Execution - Cross-system Integration - Adaptive Learning - Natural Language Interaction - AI Demo Agent or Avatar **Additional Functionality** - AI Copilot - Video Conferencing - Screen Recording - No-Code - Meeting Notes - Email Reminders - Engagement Tracking - Search/Filter - Access Controls/Permissions - Mobile Access - For Sales/Marketing - User Management - Alerts/Notifications - Event Scheduling - Pipeline Management - Personalization - Calendar Sync - API - Annotations - Screen Sharing - Customizable CTAs - Data Import/Export - Workflow Management - Communication Management - Dashboard - Collaboration Tools - Website Visitor Tracking - Lead Management - Conversion Tracking - Activity Tracking ## Top CloudShare Alternatives - [Skillable](https://www.g2.com/products/skillable/reviews) - 4.6/5.0 (443 reviews) - [ReadyTech](https://www.g2.com/products/readytech/reviews) - 4.5/5.0 (220 reviews) - [CBT Nuggets](https://www.g2.com/products/cbt-nuggets/reviews) - 4.7/5.0 (434 reviews)
