Compliance posture made it easy for Terraform **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Rod A. | Client Transformation SRE, Information Technology and Services, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** March 06, 2023 **What do you like best about AutoCloud?** As a site reliability engineer (SRE), I must check if what's running on my cloud environment is the same as documented through declarative infrastructure as code (IaC) using Terraform. We often deploy many templates to build new development, test, and production environments with specific parametrization and properties. Sometimes we need to use more than a single hyperscaler (cloud service provider) to use the best each can offer. Controlling and managing many templates and their equivalent built environments becomes challenging. Keeping those environments constantly compliant with regulations and security policies is even more complicated. AutoCloud helps SREs by providing a single pane of glass to all managed IaC environments running on multiple cloud providers. AutoCloud can do snapshots so administrators can check what changes occasionally. Moreover, AutoCloud matches the built environment against many regulations and security policies, including PCM and CIS benchmarks. Recently they are releasing reverse Terraform scripting, which generates IaC templates based on what is currently running on a cloud tenant. That way, you can back up all definitions of the infrastructure created in a cloud environment. **What do you dislike about AutoCloud?** There's nothing I dislike about AutoCloud, but I'd suggest having a whole environment backup and restoring super functionalities. Of course, you would need to restore an entire environment on a new cloud service account to avoid damaging overrides. Also, have a way to integrate with the configuration layers by allowing the inspection of what is running inside a Kubernetes cluster within the AutoCloud console. **What problems is AutoCloud solving and how is that benefiting you?** Compliance posture for IaC on cloud environments.

Great experience with AutoCloud **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Ian S. | Deal Advisory and Strategy Associate, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 07, 2022 **What do you like best about AutoCloud?** The team at AutoCloud has built a fantastic product. Their solution is a must-have for any size organization. The automatic code generation for cloud services, visual environment documentation, reverse terraform generation and cloud billing visibility have provided invaluable insights into our cloud environments **What do you dislike about AutoCloud?** While you can write your plugin and providers for other cloud, it only supports AWS, Azure, and GCP. We have a project on Ali Cloud, and AutoCloud now does not offer support for that platform **What problems is AutoCloud solving and how is that benefiting you?** AutoCloud can give us visibility into our entire AWS infrastructure. This allows us to understand our cloud environment from a different vantage than we were able to previously. ### 3. Before AutoCloud we didn't even know what we had running. We've now saved six figures in spend. **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Alan K. | CEO, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 12, 2022 **What do you like best about AutoCloud?** AutoCloud hooked into our AWS environments and showed us all the resources we had running. We were able to find several over-provisioned resources and orphaned ec2 instances and fix several high-priority security issues. All of the resources were able to be captured with IaC (we did not use IaC when originally building our envirioments) and now everything has proper security, compliance, and governance controls. **What do you dislike about AutoCloud?** It would be nice if AutoCloud was able to create CloudFormation templages, right now it just work for Terraform, which is fine, but we would like the ability to use CF as well **What problems is AutoCloud solving and how is that benefiting you?** AutoCloud is helping to ensure our environments are: Secure Compliant Cost-Optimized Up-to-Date On-Time Scalable And that we are using IaC for 100% of our cloud resources ### 4. Track and terraform all of your multi-cloud resources **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer Software | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 07, 2022 **What do you like best about AutoCloud?** I work in consulting and I absolutely love the ability to quickly understand what is running in a client's environment. We can easily capture state, understand security posture, and then capture anything that is not currently in Terraform. AutoCloud has saved me countless hours of grunt work **What do you dislike about AutoCloud?** It would be helpful if they had better state source integration (i.e. TFC/TFE). Also, I would like the ability to export the diagrams it generates so I can put them into Draw.io **What problems is AutoCloud solving and how is that benefiting you?** AutoCloud is basically CloudOps in a box. I can understand everything I need to about a given cloud environment 10x faster than previously possible, and it's writing Terraform code for me - code that I know is secure and compliant. ### 5. Review of Autocloud **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Ajay B. | Lead Architect ► Enterprise Architecture ► Global Risk Analytics ► Retail Credit Risk ► US Risk, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** March 04, 2023 **What do you like best about AutoCloud?** Autocloud give me the ability to see all of my cloud assets across multiple CSPs, in a "single pane of glass" view. I can also ensure that my assets and their configurations meet industry standards, ensuring a safe infrastructure. **What do you dislike about AutoCloud?** It would be nice if Autocloud had drag-n-drop creation of infrastructure however, the Terraform creation functionality provides a stop gap. **What problems is AutoCloud solving and how is that benefiting you?** Autocloud allows me to deploy my infrastructure faster and securely, eliminating possible rework, speeding time to market. ### 6. Complete CloudOps **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Financial Services | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 12, 2022 **What do you like best about AutoCloud?** AutoCloud helps us build, manage, and operate over 100 cloud environments across AWS, Azure, and GCP in order to have a complete understanding of compliance, security, and billing. **What do you dislike about AutoCloud?** It would be nice if they had a way to unify policy as code, so we didn't have to write Checkov policies and then write the same policies again in JSON. Right now this is a little bit of a manual effort. **What problems is AutoCloud solving and how is that benefiting you?** AutoCloud is helping us to capture all of our resources in Terraform, create repeatable Terraform deployable patterns where we can centrally manage governance and compliance across different teams, and then have complete visibility for our "day 2" cloud operations. It's saved us countless hours of work. ### 7. Visualizations are genuinely useful **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer Software | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 07, 2022 **What do you like best about AutoCloud?** AutoCloud has a compelling value prop - helps you evaluate cloud resource usage and visualize our AWS accounts. Our Devops team really likes the terraform generation features. **What do you dislike about AutoCloud?** The product is pretty new, so I'd love to see more integration points with AWS, but I imagine such things are in the works. The team is responsive to our needs so far. **What problems is AutoCloud solving and how is that benefiting you?** Like many organizations, we have cloud service bloat and are attempting to rein it in with the macroeconomic situation (2022Q4). AutoCloud is the kind of SaaS tool that's easy to get through procurement and has wins for both our developers and business constituents. ### 8. AutoCloud is the best solution on the market for comprehensive CloudOps on AWS, Azure, and GCP **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer Software | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 07, 2022 **What do you like best about AutoCloud?** It ingests your cloud environments, shines a spotlight on them, and let’s you know exactly where you stand in regards to billing, compliance, blast radius, and drift. It reverse Terraforms your environments and you can turn these TF files into template that you can share with your entire organization for consistent governance and compliance. **What do you dislike about AutoCloud?** I wish it had a drag and drop builder, and right now you can’t view multi-cloud workloads in the same diagram. **What problems is AutoCloud solving and how is that benefiting you?** I would recommend this tool to any cloud professionals looking to save time and money going to cloud. ### 9. Its service discovery is useful to run through our AWS Infrastructure for assets & snapshot creation **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Ravi C. | Cloud Engineer, Information Technology and Services, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 11, 2022 **What do you like best about AutoCloud?** AutoCloud facilitates our AWS infrastructure visibility through its visualizations & detailed compliance report. As we hover through its diagrams, we can know the connectivity between our resources, security groups, cluster configurations and associated dependencies with ease. We can effectively track the changes which are made in our enterprise AWS resources through its CSPM feature. **What do you dislike about AutoCloud?** Its pricing structure is high when compared with other cloud infrastructure management platforms. It would be great if they included further segregation in their billing plans for a limited number of assets. This will be helpful for organizations that have fewer requirements and would be benefited from the services provided by the AutoCloud platform. **What problems is AutoCloud solving and how is that benefiting you?** For our cloud infrastructure management, we need to associate various agents & code installations for effective visibility & resource tracking. AutoCloud doesn't require any of it and its setup is fast and simple. Its service discovery feature follows excellent version control management through which we can keep multiple records based on our project requirements. For a few cases, we set up its Autocrawl which is useful for our scheduled activities. We can create a snapshot for backup purposes & obtain well-structured CSV reports that help us to remediate our issues quickly. We can also do a snapshots comparison using its view diff option which visualizes the summary of all asset alterations between two snapshot versions. ### 10.
