Simplify Network Infrastructure and Lab Deployment with CloudShell **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** John K. | Field Application Engineer, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** September 13, 2022 **What do you like best about CloudShell?** Automated deployment of complex networks using physical and virtual devices across several cloud providers and on-prem equipment. Single plane of glass access for your entire infrastructure with a built-in scheduling and conflict resolution system and an LMS. A single button click saves configurations and snapshots of all your deployed devices and can be restored anytime, just as easily. Deploy infrastructure, Training Labs, Testing Labs, Cyber Range as a Service, and more. Vendor agnostic Great Support People consuming the equipment don't need the expertise to configure and deploy it and the LMS can teach them how to use it. **What do you dislike about CloudShell?** Providing all this ability in a single pane of glass takes expertise; an SME knowledgeable in system admin and every environment you will deploy in is required for initial setup. **What problems is CloudShell solving and how is that benefiting you?** Takes the vast learning curve out of cloud deployments and allows customers to consume any environment without needing the individual know-how of how each deployment works. ### 2.

Telecom DevOps **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Jim W. | Sr. Manager Engineering Qualification Test, Tools Development, Lab Infrastructure, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 19, 2021 **What do you like best about CloudShell?** Cloudshell ables our DevOps lab to quickly reserve and connect large-scale network topologies using optical switches. What used to take hours and days manually can now be done in minutes. Users can quickly search for network (physical and VM) assets and determine who has reserved it. If it's available, users can add the asset to new blueprint/sandboxes and connect it through optical switches. **What do you dislike about CloudShell?** As with all software applications, there's always room for improvement. Changes to how assets/resources are displayed in the inventory search function could be improved. **What problems is CloudShell solving and how is that benefiting you?** Quickly reserve and connect large-scale network topologies using optical switches. Reduce testing from hours to minutes, and quickly change connections and resources using drag-and-drop application function. ### 4.

It allows us to keep an eye on the resources we're utilizing. ## CloudShell Discussions - [Why should I use Paystack?](https://www.g2.com/discussions/cloudshell-why-should-i-use-paystack) - [Why should I use Paystack?](https://www.g2.com/discussions/why-should-i-use-paystack) - [What is Paystack built with?](https://www.g2.com/discussions/what-is-paystack-built-with) - [How does Google Cloud Shell work?](https://www.g2.com/discussions/how-does-google-cloud-shell-work) - [What is GCP CloudShell?](https://www.g2.com/discussions/what-is-gcp-cloudshell) - [View CloudShell pricing details and edition comparison](https://www.g2.com/products/cloudshell/reviews?open_modal_url=%2Fproducts%2Fcloudshell%2Fwishlists%3Fhost_path%3D%252Fproducts%252Fcloudshell%252Freviews%26source%3Dpdp_avatar§ion=pricing&secure%5Bexpires_at%5D=2026-05-17+06%3A27%3A27+-0500&secure%5Bsession_id%5D=57d91ab9-2f21-43a6-b2cd-1438572d096f&secure%5Btoken%5D=32f9fa2d8e7e0e034e31ab75b77bbcf95328d062efeb7a450f9b1a42d323c296&format=llm_user) ## CloudShell Features **Administration ** - Administration Console - Task Management - Dashboards and Visualizations - Access Control **Performance** - Ease of Understanding - Degree of Simulation - Results of the Experiment **Development** - Application Deployment - Development Tools - Development Environment - Language Support - Testing **Automation** - Test Automation - Intelligent Automation - Release Automation - Automated Provisioning **Administration** - Certification - Analytics Capabilities **Database** - Database Management - Analytics - Auto Scaling - Backup / Recovery - Storage **IT Management** - Workflow Management - Infrastructure Management - IT Discovery **Accessibility** - Mobile, Tablet compatibility **Infrastructure** - Networking - Virtual Machines - Security **Content** - Interactive Content - Video Content **Functionality** - Technical Support - Live Chat ## Top CloudShell Alternatives - [AWS Lambda](https://www.g2.com/products/aws-lambda/reviews) - 4.6/5.0 (910 reviews) - [CBT Nuggets](https://www.g2.com/products/cbt-nuggets/reviews) - 4.7/5.0 (435 reviews) - [Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform](https://www.g2.com/products/red-hat-ansible-automation-platform/reviews) - 4.6/5.0 (369 reviews)
