Top Rated Flexera One Alternatives
Cloud Management Platform (CMP) provides the potential to manage usage in multiple clouds that meet our use case requirements and provides scriptable interfaces that we can leverage. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
A lot of our researchers leverage credit programs from the suppliers. That means billing is at best unconventional, and so while it's possible to get accounts hooked up in CMP, usage is fuzzier, and management policies based on usage are harder to implement.

There is nothing that i dislike about Flexera one Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Discovery wise , the product does a good job with asset discovery pulling the data either from the beacons and the agents installed or by getting the data from importing it Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
SaaS manager is not mature yet , a lot of the features still need more development especially the dashboards and the customization of the metrics and filters . Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
We first started using the RightScale platform at a time when AWS only had an API and didn't have an administrative console. From the beginning RightScale made it possible to minimize the number of server images we needed by making it easy to create server templates that would take a common base image and configure it after boot. It also makes it easy to remote command things to run on multiple servers at once. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Now that every cloud platform has a robust console up, the original benefit of having a web based console for managing servers instead of relying purely on an API has dwindled considerably. Most things I would have previously relied on CMP for can now be done with a few clicks in the individual cloud. As such the Cost to Value ratio on CMP has changed considerably since we joined. What was once a must-have feature is now a commodity. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Cloud Management Platform is really stable and can serve lots of deployments. In my company, we've given cloud access to each developer (total : 1000+) to have their individual product install on Cloud and they are able to deploy, develop and troubleshoot our proprietary application using Cloud Management platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Since we operate on a very large scale, we do face issues with some deployments. Sometimes we are able to resolve the issue but at other times we are not. If there are issues with a high priority deployment on which many users/teams are dependent, then it becomes challenging to explain to stakeholders and causes loss of time for multiple teams during re-try.

The Self-Service User Interface is straight-forward in terms of a marketplace presence. The Cloud Management portal provides a convenient intermediate-level for platform-level and IT configuration and monitoring. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Depending on the use case, UI extension layout and information must be done via the API. While there is documentation available on the use of the API, examples for the calls are not provided. Some of the API call limitations are not documented. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I have been using rightscale from past 1 and half year and love its simplicity in managing Cloud.
Love the fact that it has support for multi-cloud management Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The tool is great but recently there has been multiple instances when the service went down with schedules maintenance window but the folks at flexara where supportive in understanding the issue and bringing service up in no time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The ability to orchestrate deployments into a number of clouds, both private and public. The ability to front-end this with a Self-Service UI. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
A number of CMP features are quite outdated and stale, such as dashboards, monitoring. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
There is a lot of hype around CMP and Rightscale from Flexera. We evaluated a few products online and based on recommendations, went ahead with Flexera rightscale. The good part about Rightscale is the support model and the quick response we get from Rightscale support. There are a tutorials and learning mateirial also available for us to get onboarded. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The learning curve seems huge. The Rightscale language is different and for onboarding Java developers, we need more examples, scenarios, boards where devs can talk and ask questions etc. The custom action creation seems a challenge initially. Plus Rightscale response to custom actions is slow and takes a few more seconds than the underlying action would. Also debugging is a challenge coming from Java bakground.

Ease of learning, ease of deployment, support and a well defined robust process of CAT (cloud access template) management and custom actions for each deployment. Custom actions are a heart of any deployment and give the ease to run specific operations on any server on cloud. These can be as simple as stopping a server to as complex as changing a configuration on a server and then restarting it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The speed at which the CMP triggers a custom action is slower than if we were to use the underlying commands. FOr example if we use a google cloud command to create a server it is faster than a cat with a custom action to do so. This limits the seed at which deployments can be made on cloud.

ServerTemplates, deployments & monitoring. We have more confidence that our development will act same on production. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
High costs of the product. We also suffered from instability of the API when we automated multiple tasks from sysadmins. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
