Easy Interface and manageability

  • March 25, 2020
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
All of my servers are listed right there and easy to see.
What do you dislike about the product?
The snoozing schedule is a little odd. It'd be great to schedule a windows of time in advance of when you want to suspend/snooze a server but I don't think that is an option right now. This doesn't allow us to preset for a server to be on when one of my coworkers needs it after regular up-time hours - for example most of our servers are off over the weekend. But if they need to work on a Saturday to catch up with reports or whatever, it's difficult to figure out how and when to turn it on for them.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It's great to set schedules for servers that you can depend on. This reserved up-time is saving my company money.
We're also saving power and office rental space by not having on-site server hardware. This also helps alleviate the liability of actually having server hardware that we are responsible for maintaining, upgrading, and eventually having to sell or get rid of since technology is changing so quickly these days.

Its very user friendly and cost effective

  • March 24, 2020
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
We can search the server - using citrix name or ES name also. and to run the server just give hrs. for how much time do you want the server need to be run. its very easy to find out which server is parked, which is running , which is suspended.
This is a new 3rd party tool we are using to manage costs within Azure by helping to automate the scheduling of server uptime/downtime.
What do you dislike about the product?
Before this we were using the azure machines to run up the servers. now its very useful tool so didn't find the dislike yet. Just to say something here, we need to run the server again after the hrs are ended.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Many of the servers were scheduled to turn off at 8pm Eastern. that was no longer be the case, they will instead be turned off by default and can be turned on by any user for a specified period of time, at the end of which it will be turned back off. This is bit easier to turn servers on, as they’ve been grouped into logical environment names. Instead of logging into the Azure Portal and finding the servers you need, you’ll login to PMC and just find the environment. It will turn on all the servers as needed.

Cost saving product

best part of this product is rightsizing part which help to reduce the cost more than the scheduling.

I will suggest that the all machines which are managed by Park My Cloud will visible to other group as well so the will come to know if dependent machine is running or not.

managing user access and scheduling and rightsizing for machines

The service that keeps getting beter.

  • March 24, 2020
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The quick pace of development of new features. Every time you log in, things have improved.
The cloud often changes fast, but those changes are not always an improvement. That's not the case with ParkMyCloud, they really seem to think through about their roadmap.
Excellent help and support.
Frequent tips and best practices
Non-intrusive newsletters with real features, not the marketing department having a go at you.
What do you dislike about the product?
The free account does not allow you to try out multiple clouds. It's paramount to get this setup with the trial, otherwise, you are missing out for sure.
The trial could also be a bit longer for my liking.
It's not a click of a button to get your cloud accounts connected in there. It's much harder than it sounds, and it's different on every cloud platform. But that's not really ParkMyClouds fault really.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The cloud is not cheap. But ParkMyCloud will help you make your money to be used in the most efficient way.
The cloud is all about automation. But it's not always clear how to make best use of the automation power of the cloud platforms. Parkmycloud definitely improves your view on what's going on.
When using multiple clouds, you can't do this right without a dashboard to bind them all together. There is no way to get a real overview of what's going on. ParkMyCloud really shines in that department.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Get started with the trial, you will be amazed!

ParkMyCloud review by a normal user

  • March 24, 2020
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
For the servers under your control you can easy navigate to the different options and you see the cost of each server directly. If you need more/less memory/cpu you directly see the cost/savings.
online help is easy to access and available
What do you dislike about the product?
The (potential) saving part takes a relative big part of the screen in my opinion.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Turn off servers outside of business hours ( for us these are mainly acceptance servers)

Good product and easy to deploy

  • March 23, 2020
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The idea is unique , the deployment of the product is easy and not too many configurations.
What do you dislike about the product?
There’s some exceptional case where users are using some vm’s during the schedule that i triggered to park those VM’s. What happens users are logged out and they complain about that.
If there’’s away to check that there are users logged in during that time or there are high memroy or cpu usage above average, that would be nice.
Park mycloud need to work the same with GCP like AWS. I know AWS is more common but GCP is trending now.
Finally more reports are needed with more details.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am not using it now. But the problems was stated in the upper question. The benefits the idea is not common and saves a lot of money and easy to use not complicated to use.
