"Lightning-Fast Deployment That Accelerates Sales"
4.5/5
What do you like best about CloudShare?

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.

What do you dislike about CloudShare?

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.

"Powerful Environment Duplication, Minor Network and Integration Learning Curve"
4/5
What do you like best about CloudShare?

It is amazing the absolute faithfulness to our internal complex software stacks. We are able to duplicate advanced development environments with ease to use in new engineers training or to allow us to troubleshoot a certain problem. It is also priceless to be able to take snapshots at various points of a project state. It enables experimentation, rollbacks and sharing of particular milestones by our R&D groups with full data persistence. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CloudShare?

The network configuration options were seemingly unintuitive at first to someone who did not have a thorough understanding of networks. We had to do a little experimenting to get our own custom subnets just the right size. I also would like it to have stronger direct integration points to our internal code repositories since we are currently doing workarounds to check development branches into the labs.

"Effortless Labs, Exemplary Support"
5/5
What do you like best about CloudShare?

I love how setting up a 'Blueprint' for each lab makes providing individual, isolated labs for students totally effortless, which is perfect for self-led training programs. I find the support team spectacular and the platform rock-solid reliable. CloudShare support really excelled at guiding us through a significant learning curve, even when not everything was naturally intuitive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CloudShare?

I wish I had more options when setting up my environment blueprints to add/remove hard drives instead of needing to do so much work on my custom OVF before uploading. There's a significant learning curve and not everything is naturally intuitive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Effortless Environment Cloning with Flawless Compatibility"
4/5
What do you like best about CloudShare?

It’s incredible how easy it is to clone environments. I can set up a complex technical configuration and replicate it for multiple people at the same time, without running into a single compatibility error. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CloudShare?

The interface feels a bit outdated, and when the internet connection is slow, the latency becomes noticeable. You really need a solid connection for everything to run smoothly and feel responsive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Effortless Remote Access and Setup for Training Sessions"
5/5
What do you like best about CloudShare?

Ease of use and accessibility from any browser and location. I am a professional IT instructor and course author for serveral organizations. I need to connect up my attendees to a VM that is preconfigured with software they will need for the course, that they will have access to after class, and that VM has to be "easy to use" and relatively low cost. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CloudShare?

The only technical issue to date after several months of using Cloudshare for dozens of classes and courses is connecting to a Linux VM using RDP thru the Cloudshare portal/browser. It is a an "edge case" as it defaults to CON mode which works but does not support "copy and paste" from the desktop into the VM Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
