CloudShare Reviews & Product Details

My favorite feature about CloudShare is its ability to be extremely flexible and secure when it comes to all the virtual lab and demoing. This helps us immensely when creating extremely complicated virtual spaces that are necessary for training and demonstrations for clients. I particularly like the fact that it synchronises with our CRM tool and streamlines the scheduling of virtual meetings. The flexibility of cloning environments and the ease of running multiple instances have really enhanced efficiency. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One drawback of CloudShare is that it gets slow as the virtual environments grow big enough and this is very inconveniencing especially when conducting training or demos. That is why the interface also seems to be not as smooth as it is supposed to be, and the overall navigation is not as intuitive, making the management of virtual environments not as easy. Such performance inequalities and this not so friendly interface have at times led to some interferences and interruptions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The most striking feature of CloudShare is the fact that it enables users to create isolated virtual environments in a very short space of time. We use it for training and product demonstrations because it is easy to recreate environments in it. The scalability is a huge plus here as it let you adjust the amount of resources dedicated to each project. Reporting features are also valuable to me as they offer detailed information on the functioning and usage of the environments, thus enabling me to fine tune them efficiently.

A disadvantage of CloudShare is occasional fluctuation in performance especially when working with large clouds or multiple virtual instances. It seems to fare well for straightforward system topologies, yet as we progress to more complex system layouts, the system will take longer to execute tasks. This is so especially during live training sessions where a break of a few minutes may be detrimental to the training session. Moreover, it proves quite expensive, especially knew when we have to multiply when formulating strategies to be applied to larger projects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Easy if use and simplified setup and administration Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It could provide more granularity in the spin up and down of resources in case of complex environments with a lot of vms. It is not possible yet to modify a single vm of a complex multi-vm environment Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love that is easy to start training using CloudShare. Implementation is never this easy and able to integrate with most of the IT stack that we have in existing. VM builder setup is mostly quicker than manual setup, thus help me to always able to depend on this platform for urgent work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Consistency with VM connectivity is something that we all need to be aware. They tend to be offline from time to time without warning. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Undoubtedly, I am most fond of the fact that CloudShare allows for designing realistic and fully customizable virtual training scenarios. It has rich features which allow me to set as many labs as I want and it can meet all of our requirements making the training more effective. Moreover, the platform is very reliable, especially as it passes complex tests, which requires high stability from the program. This reliability thus helps me focus on giving useful training instead of handling technical hitches hence enhanced performance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

CloudShare response time can be also problematic at times, especially during many concurrent accesses. This is very annoying especially in live training sessions where any interruption will cause a reduction in the level of interaction of the participating audience. Another problem which I face is that it lacks basic analytical functionalities. It lacks the granularity of how the participants are interacting with the content and this greatly hinders our ability to make improvement to our training offerings based on data analytics.

I like that it is very easy to use and I don't have to purchase any software on my end. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

That it takes like 5 mins to start up our team lab. we do have roughly 20 machines so it is understandable. it also suspends after 45mins of inactivity. i prefer the machines stay up at all times. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Perhaps the most valuable aspect of CloudShare is its robust cloud based virtual environments for labs as they make it easy to create and control a large number of environments. Integration with tools such as Salesforce and GitHub helps in improving our flow and everything is in sync. The self explanatory GUI makes it convenient to carry out deployment and administration of virtual environments and has really enhanced our testing and training activities.

One big problem with CloudShare is that the environment tends to slow down during high usage which hampers the running of multiple virtual environments. This decline in performance can be discouraging and affect our business processes. In addition, the cost of using the platform is relatively high, and it becomes even more prohibitive the more we utilize it. Some of these issues have from time to time led to disruption of our project schedule and need for resources to maintain operations and prevent disruptions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The most appealing feature of CloudShare is lab automation and its responsive console. Training environment and demonstrations of products have especially benefited from its functionality to create virtual environments. The positive aspect of merging LMS and CRM is that it enables appropriate functioning and organizing of the schedule for sessions as well as expanding the necessary number of resources. Such flexibility and user friendly operations have made a huge and positive impact to our training programs and presentation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The one thing I have found that could be improved on CloudShare is a certain slowness that may happen when working more extensively with large virtual environments. This can distort our training sessions and product demonstrations, which in turn deteriorates the general outlook. Also, the first steps can be a bit twofold and it does take a bit more effort than seemingly expected. Occasionally, such challenges have slowed down operations or made them inefficient.

I like that CloudShare has a great ease of use. The means of working with the platform to create and control virtual environments is intuitive to a great extent. The implementation process was easy enough and it smoothly merged with the rest of the software we were already using. Moreover, the customer support is always helpful and gives prompt solutions to all the issues, which help in avoiding too many interruptions at the workplace, which is a great benefit.

What I found quite disturbing about CloudShare is that it becomes relatively slow as you try to handle large virtual environments. This sluggishness can slow down our work, especially when we need to be efficient or fast in our work. However, the cost can be expensive for small teams, and this can make it difficult to continue using it in the future. Consequently, for some of the work we have had to look at other tools.

About CloudShare, what I like best is that all the tools are integrated and the data analysis is well detailed and sliced to provide several reports. As a result, these tools allow essential data about the assessment of our project’s status and further actions. The main advantage of the platform, in our case, is that it has almost no downtime, thus we can work uninterrupted, driving the desired productivity in the project. This dependability has become almost normal in our work environment, and that is why we have adapted to it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

A significant disadvantage of using CloudShare is the relatively high costs, especially in comparison with other cloud sharing services for smaller businesses or organizations, or when one has to work on a budget project. This has at times led to a reconsideration of the usage quotas to fit with the available budget constraints. Furthermore, many features that are indeed available on the platform may not be quite intuitive, and these may sometimes interfere with our working process, as well as impose some time for training and getting used to the existing opportunities.
