A Powerful Solution for Streamlined Cloud Management
Reviewed on Sep 20, 2025
Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
One of the standout features of Cortex Cloud is its seamless integration with various cloud services, allowing users to manage resources across different environments from a single interface. The real-time monitoring and automated cost optimization tools are particularly valuable for businesses looking to save time and money. I also appreciate the customizability of dashboards and reporting tools – they allow for a tailored experience that adapts to specific business needs. The support team is responsive, and there’s a wealth of documentation and resources available to help troubleshoot any issues that may arise.
What do you dislike about the product?
While Cortex Cloud is incredibly powerful, its learning curve can be a bit steep for those who are not familiar with cloud management platforms. Some of the more advanced features require a deeper technical understanding, and it may take a while to get up to speed with all the capabilities. Additionally, the pricing can be on the higher end, especially for smaller teams or businesses that are just starting to scale their cloud usage. It would be great to see more flexible pricing options or tiered plans that better cater to smaller enterprises.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Cortex Cloud simplifies multi-cloud management, cost optimization, and security by centralizing resources in one platform. It automates scaling, monitors performance in real time, and ensures compliance, reducing both time and costs. Overall, it’s made cloud management more efficient, allowing us to focus on growth while minimizing technical complexities.

What do you like best about the product?
I appreciate the intuitive interface and the seamless integration with other cloud services. It allows me to manage resources quickly without spending too much time on configurations. The scalability is also a strong point, as it adapts well to both small and growing projects.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes the documentation feels incomplete, especially when dealing with advanced features. In addition, the response time of the support team could be improved during peak hours.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
What problems is Cortex Cloud solving and how is that benefiting you?
It has streamlined the way we handle workloads by automating repetitive tasks. Before, I had to spend hours on manual configurations, while now the system takes care of them automatically. This allows me to focus on more strategic activities.

What do you like best about the product?
I ike that its flexible and scalable, also i like it that i can integrate it with existing tools, good observability,monitoring is a deal braker for me.
What do you dislike about the product?
Always the learning curve can be steep for newcomers, especially without prior experience in observability tools, configuration flexibility comes at the cost of complexity. Pricing may also become an issue at scale, depending on data retention and usage patterns. Lastly, certain features or integrations may still require hands-on tuning or aren’t as mature as more established platforms.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
cortex cloud helps us deal with the complexity of managing observability at scale. before, handling prometheus ourselves was a hassle, especially when it came to longterm storage, high availability, and multi-tenant setups. with cortex, we don't have to worry about the operational overhead, and we get consistent performance and better query reliability. it also helps us catch issues faster and keeps everything in one place, which makes collaboration between teams easier. overall, it's made monitoring way more manageable without needing to build and maintain everything ourselves.

What do you like best about the product?
Used it for a few months. It’s great for spotting issues and keeping things secure across AWS and GCP. The features are strong, and I do feel more confident with it runningg
What do you dislike about the product?
the UI is kinda clunky, and it took me a while to get used to. Alerts can also be a bit too much until you tune them properly. Not the easiest tool for beginners, but once it’s set up, it works well.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
it helps us actually catch misconfigs and threats across AWS/GCP. Saves time and gives better visibility. UI isn’t the best, but it gets the job done well.
