The visuals are amazing. Its easy to get the cloud resorce diagram. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Cloudcraft? Only visualisation does not help.

Cloud Engineer Information Technology and Services Enterprise (\> 1000 emp.) 3/24/2022 "Designing of Avensent Cloud Architecture in AWS Platfrom using Blueprint Features of Cloudcraft" 4/5 What do you like best about Cloudcraft? Cloudcraft provides me with programmatic access to our architecture diagrams and blueprints. It gives fully automated features for designing our AWS visualization in the form of ready-to-use images or JSON scripts. We can create snapshots and also do comparisons in both pre & post-deployment stages in our AWS environment. We can conveniently take backups, import & export data present in Cloudcraft and secure its access privileges using API-based authentication enablements. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Cloudcraft? The time required to create the snapshot is based on the number of resources we have incorporated in our AWS Region. Its API waits only for up to 120 seconds after which the request is not processed. This results in waiting for snapshot creation which may delay your design requirements if you happen to have immediate deployments on hand. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Cloudcraft solving and how is that benefiting you? We prepare our Blueprint for Avensent cloud architecture design through diagram, budget and by attaching components to them. We can also utilize its API feature to build, read, modify and remove the designs in our blueprint. We can share them with our team members, view the cost metrics and configurations of each component & utilizing its cloud libraries for overviewing our resource distributions in the AWS platform.

The ability to interrogate my account and render it visually is a huge help. Even if just to explain to others how things work, this kind of automatic visualization is a big time saver. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Cloudcraft? Not a "dislike" so much as an eager desire: the ability to output CloudFormation scripts as well as Terraform. We don't use Terraform, but would make tremendous use of CloudFormation scripts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Cloudcraft solving and how is that benefiting you? The visualizations have been great to review the components we have implemented, and to generate "marketecture" diagrams for our company management to use to explain our systems.

The cost feature-- you can easily update your infrastructure and see what costs you'll incur. I haven't come across another tool that's this good yet. Easily worth the money for this feature alone. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Cloudcraft? There are many missing products, like SageMaker, so there isn't a good way to get an entirely inclusive cost estimate for your stack based on this. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Cloudcraft solving and how is that benefiting you? Visualization for our infrastructure. These are being added to the README and to help new devs understand our stack. Helps with understanding costs as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

IT Consultant & Systems Administrator Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 10/23/2020 "Super easy to use and very straightforward jammed packed with features" 5/5 What do you like best about Cloudcraft? I enjoy the ability to build architecture diagrams while simultaneously understanding the impact of the costs for planning and budgeting purposes. The visual interface is very user friendly and easy to use. Anyone with an understanding of the AWS can dive right in without any real learning curve. When compared to using AWS Cost Calculator this thing is a cakewalk. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Cloudcraft? As far as user experience is concerned (although very minor) one helpful feature would be to link icons with other objects so that they are in an object group. Due to the fact that I do not have a paid account I am unable to connect my AWS to display live components. But understandably this is a paid feature. Though it would be nice to preview it to get a full experience before committing to a subscription. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Cloudcraft solving and how is that benefiting you? We are solving both visual understanding and implementation of our AWS architecture for documentation purposes as well as cost analysis for budgeting and proposals. This helps from both a project planning perspective, implementation and budgeting, from start to finish of the application lifecycle. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Software Engineer Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 10/23/2020 "Great experience and interface to design AWS Systems" 4/5 What do you like best about Cloudcraft? The visual display of the elements and how they link together is really easy to understand Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Cloudcraft? On the free tier the amount of space you have is a bit limited and sometimes you cannot clearly see where lines are connected when there are intersections. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Cloudcraft: I would definitely recommend Cloudcraft to others as it is the best tool I've found for designing AWS systems. It gives great visual feedback and makes systems easy to understand. The free version is slightly limited in size, though, so for big systems it might not be the best solution. All the services available on AWS are not available on Cloudcraft so it might not be the best for certain services. They do have the common services which is great for most situations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Cloudcraft solving and how is that benefiting you? I am designing AWS systems as well as building already existing systems in order to predict pricing which is really beneficial. It is also nice to have a visual representation to show management.

Technical Manager Computer Software Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 10/22/2020 "Free tool to design and analyze AWS cost" 4.5/5 What do you like best about Cloudcraft? Everything about it. Starting from design and able to select the compute power, storage, database, zones, etc. It is also very interesting to change the configuration on each line item, and accordingly see the price of your design. You can also change the 'Billing Option' to adjust how many servers/compute power you need in a day and in the end, you can see the final price/month for your entire data center. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Cloudcraft? Nothing to dislike, however, this tool has a limitation where we can't enter our negotiated price and then analyze the final price. Sometimes when you are configuring multi-zone solutions these parameters are very important to come up with the correct amount. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Cloudcraft: This tool is extremely easy to use and most important it will give you a glimpse of how your solution will look and the cost associated with your solution. You can customize each and every component and make your own solution. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Cloudcraft solving and how is that benefiting you? I am using Cloudcraft to design the multi-zone cluster deployment and understand what is the cost per month for my solution. Also, I have the ability to change the configuration depending on the use. For example, traffic during the weekdays (@9:00 - 5:00 pm) is at peak and during the weekend it is extremely less. I can use this tool to understand how much compute power and other things during weekends and weekdays and in the end, I am able to save tons of money. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Technical Service Delivery Manager Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 10/22/2020 "Easy to Use Cloud Visualizations" 5/5 What do you like best about Cloudcraft? I love that the synchronization allows you to see the resource in your live environment for building diagrams. WAY easier than trying to have multiple tabs open, record resources, and build a cloud map all at the same time. When you have the ability to have different related resources grouped together like instances, security groups, subnets, and vpcs managing the resources in the map is far easier. Another thing is the responsiveness of Cloudcraft. The maps look really great, but the responsiveness is far superior to what you would expect from a browser application. Never have I had any issues with responsiveness even though it is connecting to AWS accounts, syncing, and pulling data for resources into Cloudcraft. Last, I would say that using Cloudcraft actually makes creating diagrams enjoyable. It feels like it was created by people that care and understand the problems that engineers face when trying to create and provide documentation either internally or to clients. Nothing is difficult to get to, everything I need is just a few clicks away. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Cloudcraft? Honestly there is not a lot of downside I have noticed. Maybe that some time the text for the different resources like instances and load balancers overlaps, but other than that nothing comes to mind. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Cloudcraft: If you plan to create diagrams for your cloud resources at least give the tool a try. It is superior to any other tool on the market that I have used. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Cloudcraft solving and how is that benefiting you? We are able to provide very professional cloud diagrams for clients when performing projects, migrations, and providing documentation. The time it takes to do these things in Cloudcraft is far less than when using other tools. Clients are able to receive simple, but descriptive diagrams of all of their resources and environments which are easy to follow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Student Researcher Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 10/22/2020 "Excellent for creating architecture and design diagrams" 4.5/5 What do you like best about Cloudcraft? The best thing is the 3-D diagrams. They are so good to visualize when creating one. Also it offers flexibility to use any kind of AWS resources. One of the great benefit is it also shows the project price in AWA which is awesome. No other online architecture diagram website shows this kind of flexibility and features. I would definitely consider using the premium version of cloudraft. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Cloudcraft? It's a bit difficult to use the UI on laptop due to the trackpad. I always prefer using a physical mouse. Also if they can provide some kind of suggestions based on the resources I am using in my architecture diagram, that would be a great feature to have. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
