"A whole new perspective to get insight into my environment."
5/5
What do you like best about Runecast?

All in one solution. Compliance and vulnerability check, Virtualization level, and recently operating systems (Windows/Linux) support. It is all about being ready and compliant. It makes the environment always prepared for any kind of audit. It also helps to get the most out of the virtualization solutions with the best practices. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Runecast?

Frankly, nothing in particular. Runecast always makes impressive improvements with every update. Sometimes I just need some kind of improvement in the interface layout to be more comfortable. But overall, it is all good. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A very comprehensive enterprise management solution!"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Runecast?

I like Runecast Analyzer's ability to quickly pinpoint areas in your cloud infrastructure that need fixing or better security. In VMware environments, it also helps plan your product updates and upgrades to prevent unexpected downtime due to driver or firmware incompatibilities. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Runecast?

Because Runecast Analyzer provides additional capabilities to VMware vRealize Operations Manager, I would like to see tighter integration between these products. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"The Quickest, Cheapest Path to VMware Compliance"
5/5
What do you like best about Runecast?

Runecast presented us with excellent value for money in ensuring our vSphere estate is continually compliant with the latest VMware security recommendations without needing to read through all the VMware documentation to achieve it. With a fair and straightforward pricing model, easy-to-use interface, and easy-to-digest suggestions, Runecast Analyzer made perfect sense to deploy in our environment where staff time is a precious resource. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Runecast?

Sometimes the number of advisories can be overwhelming, and it isn't always clear what to prioritise when first running the tool over a new environment. Not every 'severe' recommendation was applicable in our environment - but Runecast Analyzer certainly gave us an excellent starting point to begin working our way through the technical debt of security configurations within our environment.

5/5
What do you like best about Runecast?

Easy to use interface, single pane of glass overview of the findings categorized, detailed description and one click link to the related KB article and the affected devices. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Runecast?

Outside of that it is costing money (which is totally worth it btw) there is not much to list. Previous version had some glitches related to updating to newer versions, but recent ones have this already fixed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
