BetterCloud Reviews & Product Details

BetterCloud is a great "middle man" between our apps like Okta, Google, and FreshService. It allows us to set up automations and workflows between apps that we normally wouldn't be able to do. For example, a manager wants a Google Group containing users with a specific job title (eg. "SDR") and for membership to automatically update when new hires join. This wouldn't be possible without BetterCloud which monitors the Okta groups for membership changes and then adds that Google user to the group. We also use BC for our offboarding workflow which is pretty extensive and would take up to an hour per person to do manually.

Update:

A while back we moved away from BetterCloud in favor of Okta Workflows since we were already paying for that, even though it's not as user friendly. Recently, I set up BetterCloud again in Okta after they acquired G2 Track, and the SSO setup was super easy, so I still recommend BetterCloud even though we're not actively using it anymore!

Sometimes the interface is confusing to navigate but going through the BetterCloud training videos helps you familiarize yourself with how all of the sections work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We use Google Integration mostly, but you can set up more apps. What we like the most is being able to onboard and de-provision users faster, create and manage groups, licenses, signatures, apps - all in one place. Setting up delegation access is simpler (for employees who are in training, for example - their supervisors can share emails for a time and that's really helpful). You can create email addresses in bulk or individually. You can run scripts on google drive and track ownership of documents, set up and monitor alerts and audit logs, control roles and priveleges (that's great for security). You can create workflows. That's just the bare minimum. Customer service is very responsive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really dislike nothing. They do a great job. Easy to work with when renewals come up, you get reminders and a person reaching out to see if you use the software to it's full potential. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Simple and powerful interface. Loads of functionality. I love how BetterCloud for Workspace replaces Google Admin panel for anything user or group related. I love using it for staff signatures. Creating and managing groups is a breeze.

When I move users to a departed group account, I now have it set to automatically disable, remove from groups, and hide the user from the directory. Makes everything faster and easier for offboarding.

The customer support is great!! I love that chat is available during the day, and the reps are super knowledgable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Having to use the sync feature manually sometimes is annoying. It syncs every night, but sometimes you need to use it in the middle of the day. When creating groups with external email addresses in the interface, you have to do each one separately. You can upload a spreadsheet to do many at once, but doing it in the interface is the way I like to use it. The spreadsheet way is powerful, you just have to make sure you have everything correct before uploading. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Ease of functionality. It's a simple and practical interface that the end user can easily maneuver without much additional support. Some companies can overcomplicate their product pages, but that is not the case with BetterCloud. We used this application daily and had no issues when implementing the product into our system. Integration was seamless. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

When on the Contact Information page on an individual user, every time you click off of the tab, it still asks if you want to make your changes despite NOT making any changes. This alert can be confusing as you become worried you've edited something you did not intend to. We haven't experienced any other issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

BetterCloud offers a robust set of tools that IT admins can leverage in their day to day operations. Most of my work can be automated within BetterCloud which frees me up to do more important tasks. Antoher positivie is their fast and knowledgable support team. I've never had to wait for a response from a real person that can tackle my requests. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One big gripe i have with BetterCloud is that their platforms are disjointed for Google. Would be great to have their legacy platform work with their new workflow platform. Part of tools like this is to consodliate and not have to jump around. There are also features found in similar free platforms that BetterCloud does not address.

BetterCloud is an extremely easy tool to use. They have so many different native integrations making it super easy to import data for expense reports and automations. They have a whole team ready to help you with the onboarding process for anything that does not pull over automatically for you. They use AI to double check everything that is automatically pulled over. A huge time saver. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing. Everything works great. No complaints. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It has more checks and balances than google admin so there is less likely hood of mistakes happening within the Better Cloud system. As well Things like delegation, shared inbox creation, and distribution list creation and updates are much easier through Better Cloud Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The time it takes to sync with google. This causes issues with employee onboarding and any changes made to distribution list that are being implemented and need access a soon as possible Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Step-by-step instructions for onboarding and offboarding users, the ability to transfer a user's drive easily is extremely handy for our organiztion. We also like the automatic deletion of suspended accounts.

We also leverage its automation features to help streamline onboarding and offboarding. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It did take me some time to get used to Bettercloud and it's layout. We only have the Gsuite version of Bettercloud, and it appears the Bettercloud flight school is giving instructions on how to use the full version. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

BetterCloud truly makes building new user accounts, Groups for different types of accounts all in just a few clicks of the mouse and keyboard. BetterCloud is excellent, and I would recommend it to anyone with an It job and who manages any google accounts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It makes sure I have a job for sure. Otherwise 0 complaints. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Features (utilization page, compliance page, departments budget allocation), simple to learn and manage the tool, quick data import (Contracts,CC transactions).

Frequent new features roll-out & great customer support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I would wish to have even more customization abilities and a better overview of imported CC transactions. Seems it can get a bit messy after a time.

More integrations with financial systems Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
