Sugar allows great flexibility to its users when it comes to using their CRM platform. With several options available when it comes to the setup, management, and maintenance of the Sugar platform, users have their fair share of choice, allowing them to target their needs efficiently. The open-source nature of the platform, too, adds a great degree of flexibility in terms of the deployment options available to the users.
Another significant way in which Sugar provides flexibility to its users is through the SugarCloud service. SugarCloud is a customer experience platform that lowers the cost of ownership, allows for greater user adoption, and can be used, both, as a business strategy as well as a platform.
With rapid innovations and enhancements in the SugarCloud platform, users get the best of the cutting-edge technology and can leverage the great flexibility that SugarCloud provides to build lasting customer relationships and increase the efficiency of their business processes.
So what exactly does SugarCloud offer to its users? Let’s find out!
SugarCloud Services
SugarCloud Services include SugarCloud Insights and SugarIdentity. SugarCloud Insights allows the users on the cloud environment to monitor their database, license usage, file system storage usage, and access to PHP error logs on top of that. Meanwhile, SugarIdentity provides an industry-standard identity solution to its users and allows for a single sign-on across multiple SugarCRM applications and services.
SugarCloud Insights
By navigating to the ‘Admin’ page, users can access SugarCloud Insights in the SugarCloud section. Once at the Insights page, user information is broken up into three categories: Database and File System Storage, License Usage, and Error and Access Logs.
In the Database and File System Storage, users can find details of their purchases and the relevant storage and sandbox limit for each of those purchases. The storage amount is depicted in a segmented bar and is broken down according to the division of the storage of the respective instances.
As far as the License Usage section is concerned, Sugar allows a limited number of user seats to a particular organization in order to access the application. The License Usage section allows administrators to keep track of the number of license users at a time and manage any issues that may arise from having too many active users.
The Error and Access Logs are sections where administrators are allowed to generate PHP error and access logs for any part of the application not working properly. In the event of any customizations or other parts of the application not working properly, the PHP error log can help users troubleshoot and resolve issues. This is made even easier with the help of Access logs which can be used to trace HTTP requests to see where in the chain of events did the error occur.
SugarIdentity
SugarIdentity allows its users to be able to manage their user identities and access their applications and services within SugarCRM. With the help of a single identity solution, a single sign-on is enabled for the convenience of the users across all applications. The cloud services console manages this SugarIdentity service. For every creation of a new Sugar instance, the administrator must access the SugarIdentity service in the cloud settings to enable a few key features associated with it.
