CloudBlue

The most feature-rich Cloud Commerce platform on the market

Kommentare: Our experience with CloudBlue dates back to the product's early versions, and we have had the benefit of following the platform's development and enhancements as well as growing with the CloudBlue ecosystem. For the past 8 years, we have been assisting CloudBlue customers in accelerating GTM and achieving a faster ROI through our partnership with CloudBlue.

Vorteile:

As a system integrator, our company has been dealing with various cloud commerce platforms and marketplaces. Across the market, CloudBlue, with both Connect and Commerce products, represents one of the most mature platforms out there. Feature wise, the most versatile platform for selling and distribution of cloud services, providing all features needed by the service providers.

Nachteile:

With high level of features, onboarding and learning period is longsome, which can be a challenge for companies that are starting to use CloudBlue. On the other hand CloudBlue Connect provides a subset of the Commerce features with emphasis on the simple integration and flexibility for adoption by the service providers, distributers and vendors.

CloudBlue for Cloud Distribution

Kommentare: Overall we are very happy with the platform. The customer facing features are really good and it helps us to simplify the customer experience from purchasing licences to managing billing.

Vorteile:

The platform provides a great interface for our customers to be able to buy software licences, manage customers and view their invoices. The design is clean and intuitive so new users are able to get up to speed quickly with limited training from us.

Nachteile:

The back end of the platform is less easy to use which can make administration difficult. This particularly impacts the deployment of new vendors to the marketplace as there are many steps which need to be followed which aren't always logical.
