ParkMyCloud review by a normal user

  • March 24, 2020
  • Review verified 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)

Great way to manage EC2 Usage

  • March 23, 2020
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Intuitive and easy to learn. Shows us right away how much its saving
What do you dislike about the product?
The only downside is having to pay extra but the cost for PMC is minimal
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use AWS mostly for development so it is vital to only have resources running when they are in use. ParkMyCloud lets us manage this very easily. Prior to PMC, we were using custom scripting in AWS. This worked alright but was labour intensive to maintain.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It was so easy to implement, I don't have many recommendations. The feature to override the schedule is nice since it quickly allows after-hours work without worrying about paying for usage while you sleep

Great timesaver for testing accounts

  • March 23, 2020
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The ability to easily park and unpark servers has been invaluable for saving money on test servers for our on-premise offering. ParkMyCloud also offers a great api that has allowed us to automate much of this work so developers can work on our product and not on a service we use.
What do you dislike about the product?
The UI can be somewhat clunky and unintuitive in some cases. In particular, overriding parking schedules can be a bit backwards and lead to accidental parking of servers.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our organization traditionally spins up testing servers for our on-premise software on various cloud providers. Developers may forget to turn these servers off when not using them, and they typically aren't used outside of working hours. Being able to automatically shut them down is key to driving down our own costs as we build software for our customers.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Rather than implementing the complex logic in-house, lean/small teams should consider using on ParkMyCloud to help drive down costs.

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.

What do you like best about the product?
We love ParkMyCloud for its ease of use and the api that allows us to automate tasks for our organization.
Support is amazing whenever we need it and we have never been steered wrong with the documentation.
We also love the feature to pull down only the instances we want for parkmycloud for licenses by EC2 tag.
Another feature we do like is the rightsizing capabilities.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't particularly have any gripes with the product as a whole.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Scaling down non-production instances is a big one for us.
We also use parkmycloud api to spin up instances, deploy code to them and spin them down by using the parkmycloud api.

Keep doing what you've been doing. Thank you for always thinking of the customer.

Great Cloud Platform For Predictable Work Loads

  • March 23, 2020
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The options to allow for scheduling of turning on & off VM’s depending on specific times, this allows for major cost savings when you have over 20 machines/workstations working.
What do you dislike about the product?
The options to go more Granular, or some how being able to use AI or Machine learning to understanding my VM’s and what they’re doing. For example I want it to be able to understand the specific status of a machine and be able to shutdown or scale down depending on certain criteria.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Being able to manage multiple machines within one platform, being able to schedule shutting off depending on cpu
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It’s a great platform for predictable workloads and managing of multiple VMs

Enterprise Architext

  • March 06, 2020
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The ability and ease to schedule the EC2 instance on/off
Reporting dashboard is very intuitive
What do you dislike about the product?
Multiple group role option is missing and it would help us to separate the EC2 instances by teams and cross-team can have access
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our lower environments Dev, QA and UAT have benefited in terms of cost and value to developers. Developers now have flexibility to on/off during weekends rather than waiting for infrastructure team thereby improving productivity
