Cons
"Could increase the number of integrations and add more out-of-the-box work flows.""The scheduling feature of CloudBolt needs improvement because sometimes, it doesn't work.""The management of SaaS must be improved.""The solution is not easy to use. It's not intuitive enough to click anywhere in the solution and make it work.""The area of integrating on-prem and cloud needs improvement."

More CloudBolt Cons →

"Red Hat CloudForms could improve by allowing more customization of reports. We have to do a lot of coding to accomplish what we want. Additionally, the compatibility with the multi-cloud could improve. The latter versions of the solution removed Google support and the cost comparison between other clouds was high.""The complexity of the solution is a bit high in comparison to VMware.""It is difficult to create a complete dashboard that includes all the needed features or catalogs.""I have issues with the solution's permissions. Unlike VMware, the product doesn't allow folder-type permissions.""The problem is that the platform requires it to be maintained and updated. Also, a few cases are still pending with the Red Hat support team since they are not closed yet.""Our clients had challenges or issues with the updates. Its updates should be better managed. They should provide quicker and more stable updates. Its stability can also be better. We initially faced ease-of-use and compatibility issues while integrating it. We had a lot of compatibility issues with other products. Our clients are concerned about whether it is under IBM or it is still Red Hat. Clients are not very clear about the support, and they're not really happy with it. Currently, they're getting support from Red Hat, but going forward, they're not really clear about what would be the life cycle of the product, which is a concern for them.""Because the solution needs to integrate with other products that surround it, there is a lot of configuration required, and this can be quite complex. It's not as easy as it is with, for example, VMware.""The solution's provisioning engine needs to be improved."
