"Setting up virtual training environments is not problematic anymore"
What do you like best about CloudShare?

CloudShare’s most valuable function is the ability to quickly create and organize environments for training and demonstrations. To make it easier to program the preferred specific environments for various purposes, the simplicity of the user interface has been applauded as it has greatly enhanced our training productivity. This makes working with it easier as it links various tools such as CRM and LMS systems, ensuring that data is harmonized and can be retrieved easily to help increase the return on investment on training. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CloudShare?

The only drawback in using CloudShare is poor performance when running complex or large virtual environments. In busy hours, the response time is somewhat slow and this interferes with training sessions and efficiency of workers. Also, the connectivity with other systems is quite good, however there are instances when some systems are incompatible with it and thus need to be fixed, a process that takes lots of time and affects the work process.

"Excellent virtual labs for software training"
What do you like best about CloudShare?

The easyness to create classes, the safe environment which can replicate your own for leaners to use and make mistkes without risk of compromising sensitive data . Great over-the-shoulder view when delivering remote courses with the ability to access the students' environment and thus assist them further if required. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CloudShare?

Occasionally it takes some time for VMs to load. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CloudShare?

"A real game changer for efficient environment management with minor problems"
What do you like best about CloudShare?

My favorite feature about CloudShare is how easy it is to create and duplication of environments that are complex. Making this feature enabled my training sessions because I can easily change scenarios for a particular team. I like that this platform has a very long list of available features, such as the possibility to snapshot environments, which are handy when I want to make sure that the environment is set up exactly the same in the next sessions. This has been very helpful in ensuring that the quality of our training interventions is well upheld. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CloudShare?

Working with multiple environments at once can sometimes be a tad sluggish on CloudShare but other than that, I have no issues. This is sometimes annoying because it takes a relatively long time to learn and this can be a problem if time is a limiting factor. Also, the time taken by customer support to respond to the complaint rises the rate of frustrations especially when dealing with critical issues. Such issues have at times interfered with my training sessions, therefore making it difficult to adhere to a particular sequence. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"We finally found a solution for overcoming latency issues in virtual training sessions"
What do you like best about CloudShare?

In my opinion, the primary strength of CloudShare lies in its simplicity to deploy and administrate a training and lab environment for demos. We have been able to deploy environments where no physical hardware has been required and that has helped to improve the flow. The integration with our LMS and CRM systems was seamless, therefore data syncing and tracking were easy. That is why it has been particularly useful to be able to tailor these environments for our training requirements. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CloudShare?

The main challenge with CloudShare is that during busy hours there are latency issues that can impact the performance of simulators and training exercises. Also, although the platform in general is easy to navigate, some of the advanced parameter settings could be more intricate and not friendly for users. These problems have led to some form of interference to our training sessions and have taken additional time to make adjustments. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Efficient and handy solution for simplifying virtual training and testing environments"
What do you like best about CloudShare?

CloudShare makes it very easy to create virtual environments and that impressed me. Detailed configurations for training or testing is not a problem and as such saves us a lot of time. Other features making it exceptional include how easily it integrates with tools we are already using such as our CRM and project management tool. The envisaged environments are highly customizable, which means that we can shape them to fit our needs perfectly, making this system extremely flexible for use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CloudShare?

Now, the part I do not like about CloudShare are the costs as if you are not careful, you are likely to end up paying through your nose. These costs can quickly increase significantly, especially when running several environments simultaneously. This has made us more careful on how to use the platform so as to save the amount spent on many environments. Indeed, while the software has many strengths, the price could be somewhat prohibitive for smaller teams or projects to use frequently. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Virtual environments are now made easy for remote training"
What do you like best about CloudShare?

Nonetheless, the most outstanding attribute of CloudShare if used as a virtual platform is the capability to execute diversely operating systems and software configurations at the same time. This is beneficial to us because we use several platforms for training and CloudShare can adapt to that environment that we require. This made initial preparation easy since it is effortless to replicate several complicated configurations across a few environments owing to the fact that training information is timely and relevant. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CloudShare?

The main drawback of CloudShare is that the cost of this tool increases when the number of users is large. This has been a challenge for us particularly when we have been attempting to extend our training programs for use in other sites. The cost is relatively high which has at times compelled us to give a limited number of people or even decided whether to give training or not less frequently. This financial element has rendered it challenging to optimize the platform to its full potential. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
