CloudFoundry is easy to learn and use; the learning curve was minimal, and I was able to host and run applications within minutes. Hosting microservices and simple websites is a breeze, and the supported technologies in containers are reasonably broad. Scale your implementation with a few clicks, manage environment variables outside of the code, and do blue-green deployments to minimize (or even eliminate) downtime on application deployments. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Cloud Foundry? Troubleshooting larger application deployments is sometimes tricky if you rely on console logs for application logging; I would recommend piping logs to a secondary log source for parsing when operating at an enterprise scale. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Cloud Foundry: Consider CloudFoundry as the first step for development teams who haven't developed in a containerized environment previously. Stateless microservices, static content, and simple websites are great candidates. Be wary that more complex deployments, such as those requiring advanced state management or complex transformation processing, may require advanced container orchestration knowledge or re-architecture. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Cloud Foundry solving and how is that benefiting you? CloudFoundry is a significant enabler for cloud migration and containerized development, helping developers to be more productive by shifting focus from building an entire application hosting stack to primarily building business functionality. Working with a manifest-based container recipe makes it is easy to move your application from one environment to another, with build-packs providing a simplified hosting footprint.

Senior Solution Architect Information Technology and Services Enterprise (\> 1000 emp.) 5/4/2020 "Stable And Seamless Platform For New Application" 4.5/5 What do you like best about Cloud Foundry? Seamless deployment of application on the cloudfoundry and its available in next seconds. Its blue green deployment works seamlessly in context of continuous deployment (CI/CD). Its provided different integration connector helps developer to integrate quickly with other systems e.g: Jenkins via webhook. Its platform as a service is also makes developer life easier to quick setup of account and deploy application instead of managing underlying setup. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Cloud Foundry? Its provided Buildpacks does not supports every technologies such as JAVA EE (Jakarta EE) instead of that developer must have to create its own buildpack or just utlize plain JAVA to create webservices which is difficult to modernize the application code. There should be atleast an view for underline system operations for monitoring or evaluation of performance which is totally missing at the time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Cloud Foundry: If you want to do quick deployment without any infrastructure setup and if you have small development team then CloudFoundry Platform as a Service is the best and right choice to go. Its easy to learn and simple to implement. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Cloud Foundry solving and how is that benefiting you? In the last months we experienced cloud foundry as an PAAS solution to our organization and gained many features out of the box such as managing application deployments, no low level configurations needed, auto load balancing etc. on the otherside there was also challanges for our legacy applications due to buildpacks provided by CF.

Cloud Foundry works very well both in a hosted or local solution and in multiple environments. We can integrate backup services through BOSH and the way developers can interact with their own deployment CF CLI. Cloud Foundry offers a wide range of application services, offering a variety of clouds. Cloud Foundry is well integrated into the SAP cloud platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Cloud Foundry? The application troubleshooting tools need some improvements. Debugging, console, ssh, etc. 2 Limited training available to learn how to install and configure large-scale open-source cloud foundry. Limited training available to learn to install and configure large-scale open-source cloud foundry. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Cloud Foundry: Mailing lists are a good resource, PaaS based on Docker is excellent if you need something small and simple, beyond a couple of teams. CF offers great value. The decision is based on cost, the number of applications, the size of the team, etc. You must be prepared to install a large number of elements throughout the day on many virtual machines. It is easy to scale them up and down according to the application's load. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Cloud Foundry solving and how is that benefiting you? The critical business problem is to be able to continuously and frequently improve software applications to reflect changes or the changing needs of customers. We wanted more than the widely used PaaS solutions, Azure DevOps: developers can automate everything to achieve a distributed continuous delivery system: implemented as microservices. A distributed team, with different release cycles compatible with different programming languages. Rapid iteration of development and quick deployment on multiple platforms.

"I am a contributor and user" 4.5/5 What do you like best about Cloud Foundry? Simplicity - quite easy to get started with for web applications Flexibility - Fits extremely well into an agile software dev process of frequent releases. Deployments can be easily automated with CI/CD systems. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Cloud Foundry? No free options like Heroku for tinkering around. Setting up CF as an operator is not trivial Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Cloud Foundry: PaaS drastically improves software development and deployment. You should figure out which PaaS makes sense for you and your needs - one that is running on the public cloud and self serve ( Heroku/ AWS ) or an on prem/hybrid solution ( CF ). The decision is based on cost, # of apps, team size, etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Cloud Foundry solving and how is that benefiting you? The critical business problem is being able to continuously and frequently improve software applications to reflect changing/evolving customer needs. Cloud Foundry makes deployment a zero day effort and reduces the bus factor which occur in snow flake deployments. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Cloud Foundry is a true PaaS. I consider a true PaaS as a platform that allows for full management of an application as opposed to some VM pattern provisioning solutions. An application in CF can be deleted, renamed, updated, rerouted, etc. I also like the IaaS agnostic ness of CF. We have deployments using vSphere for our in house data center as well as AWS and will probably have a deployment in Azure in the future. It is great when you have a platform that can move with the needs of an organization. Cloud Foundry is open source. Allowing for more extensibility options when necessary and very important for debugging. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Cloud Foundry? Docker support is taking a long time to develop. Request Routing and Layer 4 Routing could use some work though those features are coming and improving. Application problem diagnostic tools need some improvement (Debugging, console, ssh, etc). The platform has good logging but not much beyond that. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Cloud Foundry: If looking for a PaaS you cannot go wrong with Cloud Foundry. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Cloud Foundry solving and how is that benefiting you? Development teams are much more empowered with Cloud Foundry. Application environments are deployed in minutes freeing development to focus more of features than infrastructure. Flexibility in deployment is also very powerful for production problem debugging.

"PaaS with no limitations" 4.5/5 What do you like best about Cloud Foundry? Cloud Foundry offers a broad range of application services provides a choice of clouds. It has been adopted by some of the thought leaders across the world. With its broad vision and fast development, it can be a great platform by choice to the newer companies who want to migrate to cloud. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Cloud Foundry? Cloud Foundry should improve upon the following: 1. Make it more friendly to business users. Currently it is very focused on engineers and some business person looking for a flexible cloud solution may find it tough to understand the deep technical jargon that the website carries. 2. Do more marketing, so that it becomes popular. Very few followers and limited awareness in the field might hurt Cloud Foundry in the long run. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Cloud Foundry solving and how is that benefiting you? We wanted more than the commoditized PaaS solutions (AWS, Azure). We also wanted rapid development and customization. While we have not fully realized the customization that we wanted, Cloud Foundry has certainly delivered on the other two aspects, namely, rapid development and the more than standard Cloud capabilities in its platform.
