CloudShare Reviews & Product Details

I really like the CloudShare way of simplifying and shortening the development and test process. Their virtual lab solution does the job and we are able to create a really complex environments in few clicks. Additionally this really helped because it just fits with our existing tools and greatly saves us a ton of time. Another timesaver, the last one is the blueprint feature, that enables us to save custom configurations for future projects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are some shortcomings which could be regarded as insignificant, such as, application failures and somewhat higher response time while dealing with extensive environments. For example, an app may hang a while, for example, when switching tabs in extensis, or there can be amusing lag when synchronizing projects with members of a team.

I guess collaboration feature of cloudshare is what I like the most especially when you are holding online trainings where lab are needed for the student. It is very easy to setup a virtaul lab environment in clousshare and the students can easily access it without any hasstle. Using cloushare for training was one of our best decisions as it has really increased our productivity as an organization. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Occasionally my student find a lag in access the lab during peak usage time that sometimes is not a very good experience for my students and there are some of the advanced features which really need some addiitonal training to master them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

In my opinion, creating a customized virtual environment for my demos and workshops is the most what I like about Cloudshare. Apart from this user-friendly interface, third-party integration are some of the most valuable features of CloudShare that allows our users to seamlessly access the demo lab from CloudShare which makes a big impact on our productivity.

One thing that I have struggled with occasionally is the lag while accessing the lab especially when you are dealing with big files or a large number of users trying to access the resource in CloudShare at the same time. You need a very good internet connection for CloudShare to run smoothly. One more thing is the customer support that sometimes takes a long to get back to you to resolve your issue.

I love that CloudShare simply supports team collaboration so effortlessly when we are training people. Creating multiple isolated environments allows our trainees to work without disruption and without impact from others. This works relia and every participant receives an equal change to test and learn at their own pace. I also quite like the fact that it ships with preconfigured templates for various setups so that you can just get started on tasks from the get go. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

CloudShare’s occasional inability to make navigating its more advanced features easy, is one of its limitations. It gets the job done well enough, but some of the processes are too complicated for what you really want to do. The problem is that the templates are only so limited, which makes it difficult to adapt the tool for less common use cases as well. These challenges can be hard to overcome; as such, particularly when preparing for new training scenarios, delays can be major. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Cloudshare has been robust, feature rich, student friendly, but most of all the support we have received both during onboarding and now as a production customer has been second to none. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It takes a little while to fully grasp the CloudShare workflows and relationships between Blueprints/snapshots/vm creation but once you get the hang of it, it no longer feels unintuitive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The main reason we like CloudShare is for the ability to create dedicated environment that fits specific tasks. Over time it has become an important training session along with a cornerstone of training sessions where proper setups have to be consistent to get everyone up to speed. There’s also something about the dependability, even when sessions run longer than they should. It’s easy to share these setups with the rest of the team, making teamwork possible without additional coordination needed to keep the process running smoothly.

One drawback of CloudShare is that occasionally your permissions may be difficult to manage. Accessing different team’s projects can get cumbersome as we have to fine tune access levels across teams, and that slows us down when we need to quickly onboard new users or tweak an access level. The high resource consumption when we have multiple environments on running also means we need to keep our eye on infrastructure limits. Some extra steps are added to this would otherwise be a smooth workflow in dealing with these issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

CloudShare is a software that solves the problem of how to make and share virtual environments for demos and training sessions. It enables us to quickly set up these environments, without messing about with physical infrastructure, or intricate configurations. With the whole process becoming more efficient with the ability for my team to collaborate on shared virtual spaces, there are no problems. This has saved a lot of our time and we’ve been able to invest it back into delivering better, more productive training or product demonstrations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The challenge with CloudShare is it’s not always intuitive, especially for the inexperienced user. It’s a bit complicated looking at first but in a good way, and takes a bit to get to know itself. In addition, when setting up environments can sometimes be slow which delays our work or preparing for the demo. It can mess up the pace of our projects, especially when there’s not much time to get things up and running. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What makes CloudShare so special is that it simplifies the creation and management of virtual environments. Simple and intuitive interface, we can set up the automated labs easily according to your requirements. Sharing content and collaborating is a cinch within live sessions through integration with Salesforce and Zoom. It scales according to needs as the number of participants, what is something we need. It’s a wonderful time saver and very smooth experience for both instructors and attendees. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The problem with the CloudShare’s mobile app is that it simply doesn’t cope with complex simulations. It is not as smooth of an overall experience as it is on desktop, and cases of being less smooth for interactive tasks abound. Mobile is also not very intuitive with the way that it does its navigation. What’s more, the mobile app doesn’t have the full range of integrations the desktop edition has, which leaves holes in usability when you want to manage tasks when you’re not in front of your computer.
