Great product for discovery!
What do you like best about the product?
Discovery wise , the product does a good job with asset discovery pulling the data either from the beacons and the agents installed or by getting the data from importing it
What do you dislike about the product?
SaaS manager is not mature yet , a lot of the features still need more development especially the dashboards and the customization of the metrics and filters .
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Licenses count, consumption for more visibility of a company ecosystem is a must and flexera one can acheive that if the right data is provided.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Do some good research before jumping into it . Make sure all your needs can be satisfied and aligned with what the product offers.

Rightscale allowed us to build infra very quickly with minimal amount of employees.
What do you like best about the product?
ServerTemplates, deployments & monitoring. We have more confidence that our development will act same on production.

High costs of the product. We also suffered from instability of the API when we automated multiple tasks from sysadmins.

Single Pane of Glass for a Multi-Cloud Experience
What do you like best about the product?
The Self-Service User Interface is straight-forward in terms of a marketplace presence. The Cloud Management portal provides a convenient intermediate-level for platform-level and IT configuration and monitoring.
What do you dislike about the product?
Depending on the use case, UI extension layout and information must be done via the API. While there is documentation available on the use of the API, examples for the calls are not provided. Some of the API call limitations are not documented.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Primarily in areas of backup/restore/replication of various artifacts. There is no way to replicate artifacts between accounts and clouds, only within a cloud and within an account. VMware is not supported very well for larger on premise install bases. The API in these areas is extremely limited.
On the benefits side, we have successfully extended our use cases to multi-platform use with said single-pane of glass.
On the benefits side, we have successfully extended our use cases to multi-platform use with said single-pane of glass.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Initial support in the area of set up and configured is provided extremely well by the support staff. Once initial knowledge and experience is gained support, while sympathetic, has little to no way of providing status for issues submitted to product development/engineering. This is also true for suggested corrections/enhancements to the product support when API documentation states one thing, but results in something other than the expected results.
Right scale have helped us to monitor, deployed and troubleshoot deployments
What do you like best about the product?
Cloud management gives you details node by node and that help us a lot to troubleshoot
What do you dislike about the product?
We need more Information on if scripts fails
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Users and team wfm and deployments. It can be easily hook up with Jenkins
RightScale is the CMP we just Migrated to. The vision is great , the learning process is tiresome
What do you like best about the product?
There is a lot of hype around CMP and Rightscale from Flexera. We evaluated a few products online and based on recommendations, went ahead with Flexera rightscale. The good part about Rightscale is the support model and the quick response we get from Rightscale support. There are a tutorials and learning mateirial also available for us to get onboarded.
What do you dislike about the product?
The learning curve seems huge. The Rightscale language is different and for onboarding Java developers, we need more examples, scenarios, boards where devs can talk and ask questions etc. The custom action creation seems a challenge initially. Plus Rightscale response to custom actions is slow and takes a few more seconds than the underlying action would. Also debugging is a challenge coming from Java bakground.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are migrating our product to google cloud and needed a CMP to help us manage and setup our tool on multi-tenant scenario. While there were a lot of changes we need in the app, we also had to work on imgae creation and docker migration etc. Here Rightscale and its solutions is helping us smoothen out the deployment and usage of the Cloud. This is also for helping us manage the cost
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Cost management on cloud is a key differentiatior in any migration from inhouse to cloud. But the cost should be considered keeping in mind the ease of rolling out and management. Eventually most probably you would have java/.net developers as part of the team who come with a different set of mindset to programming and support. Look for a tool which has good support, learning material and also helps in managing cost by displaying, alering on usage of a sever set up for testing etc.
Good and flexible tool for cloud management

Flexible and easy cloud management. Provides detailed reporting and user-friendly UI.
What do you dislike about the product?
Support system needs to be improved and response time is very high.
Also, debugging of CATs is not easy.
Also, debugging of CATs is not easy.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The beneficial aspect of CMP is the ability of self provision instances, whether that be VMs or applications.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Easy tool to help migrate to cloud in a clean manner
Good multi-cloud management platform
What do you like best about the product?
The platform is a powerful tool that allows automated deployment and scaling on a whole host of cloud platforms allowing you to take advantage of every vendor's strengths.
What do you dislike about the product?
The analytics they provide could be better. Particularly with Google.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our entire product is deployed using the platform.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you're using Amazon or Microsoft this product is awesome. Their support for Google is OK, but clearly not their focus.
feedback about flexera
What do you like best about the product?
