For others looking into using CloudBolt, I advise defining governance policies early, focusing on building modular automation, and planning integrations in advance, such as IAM, CMDB, or security aspects. It is critical to not overlook the cost models associated with deploying workloads in public cloud and to ensure governance and guardrails are in place when leveraging the platform. Establishing strong policies around resource provisioning and implementing tags when different teams are deploying resources is essential to track costs effectively. CloudBolt is a truly good platform with strong capabilities, especially considering recent acquisitions such as StormForge for Kubernetes optimization and Kumulus and SovLabs in the past, positioning it well for the future as a single pane of glass for managing different public and private cloud providers. I would rate this platform an 8 out of 10.
Any user considering CloudBolt should consider what they need in the long run, not just the structure. It's a good solution, but they must ensure it's what they want. We're looking at doing OpenStack after so many years with CloudBolt. Users must check if CloudBolt is what they want in the long run, but the short term might be good. For users who have a multi-cloud and want to manage the entire infrastructure from one pane of glass, CloudBolt is a go-to solution. I rate CloudBolt a seven out of ten.

I've contacted customer support many times, but I have access to their tech team since we are partners. I've not gone through their support channel. I have a direct hook to them. We have regular meetings where we talk about problems and get answers to them. If somebody's using the solution for the first time, it's good if the system gives a demo. When you come up, the solution could go "click here, set this up, click here, set this up," and walk you through the steps until you are an expert that needs to be there. There is a setting in the configuration, and sometimes I enable it. That way, when people log in, the solution walks you through that. "First configure the cloud, and then configure this…" It'll walk you through the steps to do it. If CloudBolt has some videos or something I've not seen recently, people can watch the video to go through the steps instead of messing up. I rate CloudBolt a five out of ten.
We were going to suggest CloudBolt to our customers who are on the multi-cloud model, and we have an agreement with CloudBolt, but we have not implemented it yet for our customers. I have personal experience with CloudBolt, though. The version of the platform which we're using is two or three versions older. We are business partners of CloudBolt. We have had an agreement with them for eight to ten months, but previously our agreement with them was for over one year. One person is enough for CloudBolt maintenance. I would recommend CloudBolt to anyone who is on the multi-cloud model. I'm rating CloudBolt eight out of ten.
