RC Ravi C. 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 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.

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.

Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 10/22/2020 "Easy to use, effective and eye-catching" 4/5 What do you like best about Cloudcraft? It's really easy to use, fast to learn and gives unexpected results in presentations even to non-tech-savvy people. Import function has a great potential for both discovery and planning. We really like it! They also have a Trello board for upcoming feature and feature requests. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Cloudcraft? Being multi-cloud would be a great addition. Starting from icons will be a major step. Calculator and import will be nice to have, but not a must have. First step could be just a set of icons and we could use software for its graphical appearance. And it will be great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Cloudcraft: It's easy and rewarding. My boss is happy to see eye-catching pictures of architectures in presentation and I'm happy I can create them easily. Giving a fast estimate during work is a nice function too. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Cloudcraft solving and how is that benefiting you? Drawing architectures and make cost calculations is a major work. Represent them in a good looking way is a very important part of our job. Do both requirements fast and easy is a really appreciated functionality. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 10/22/2020 "Takes very little time" 4/5 What do you like best about Cloudcraft? It's very easy to create diagrams quickly. The icons are easy to find. My friends accept diagrams from me with this tool. Everybody can use it and it is making the world a better place. I don't mind the 3d tilt. Sometimes I draw flat diagrams. Sometimes I draw the nifty 3d ones. It's just my preference. It's easy to draw established patterns because there are lots of example diagrams. That really speeds up my productivity. It's easy to export a diagram. Sometimes I simply export a diagram as a pdf. It's especially important to export to a png. For example, when I draw diagrams of EC2 based cloud architectures, I like to share the picture. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Cloudcraft? It's not the best brainstorming tool. Sometimes I'm just exploring instead of diagramming a particular architecture. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Cloudcraft: It's easy to log in and try. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Cloudcraft solving and how is that benefiting you? Problem: Communicate an architecture for a security audit. I benefited from the recognizable icons that the auditors have seen in other diagrams from other architects.

AWS Solutions Architect Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 10/22/2020 "Value is use dependent. I love the isometric views" 3.5/5 What do you like best about Cloudcraft? The isometric views are the best I've seen. Absolutely stunning. Can be less than perfect when the architecture is too crowded. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Cloudcraft? I use the auto-sync and it is marvelous on limited architectures. Having to auto-sync one region at a time is a bummer. Also, while it saves hours, it still lags when the VPC has lots of resources in it. No ECS services are shown. Not a comprehensive view of all 'relationships'. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Cloudcraft solving and how is that benefiting you? I needed cloudcraft to help me solve the problem of rapid identification of clients AWS accounts. Unfortunately it didn't quite solve that for me. It was too slow, cumbersome on more sophisticated networks and not comprehensive enough coverage. What I use it for now, is if I have a simpler architecture and I want to impress my client with a view of their architecture that is spiffy...i'll use CloudCraft as a "last mile" solution.

"Nice tool to document your infrastructure" 3.5/5 What do you like best about Cloudcraft? We liked the visualization and robustness of the tool. The rendered blueprints look clear and nice. A perspective to have it clearly mapped to the actual infrastructure also helps a lot. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Cloudcraft? It takes time to get used to the interface to adjust all of the elements nicely. We'd wish for smoother performance on moving the things around. Adjusting labels to be readable also takes time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Cloudcraft: Consider it as a documentation tool first, then move on to paid AWS infrastructure mapping for the ongoing reference update. Cloudcraft is pretty for its nice visualization which otherwise could be achieved with a number of alternatives. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Cloudcraft solving and how is that benefiting you? Documenting existing infra of the projects. This is #1 what this tool is good for. It's easy to explain how the cloud infra works to the team with those images and you can also keep the documentation actual with the tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Enterprise (\> 1000 emp.) 10/23/2020 "The one cloud architecture visualisation tool which does it almost perfectly!" 4/5 What do you like best about Cloudcraft? - I love the auto sync of architecture components. - The '3D' view is fantastic, specially for presenting to stakeholders - Cost calculation is an indispensable tool while planning the architecture components - The tool absolutely simple and beautiful to use - The components have additional information like memory size etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Cloudcraft? - Brilliant for AWS specific stuff - Many icons etc for different services are still not present - Cost of $49 doesn't make any sense for individual users/start ups/consultants. - The auto generated views of larger architectures are almost unusable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Cloudcraft: Go for it. It is no brainer with the tools we have available in same competitive landscape. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Cloudcraft solving and how is that benefiting you? - To do faster designs of architectures was the objective. Definitely helps in that. - To budget the architectures in a better way. Beautiful tool in that regard. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Solution Architect Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 10/22/2020 "Good 3D visualisation but need more better integration" 4/5 What do you like best about Cloudcraft? Cloudcraft default design is 3D showing the overall landscape of the architecture as if we are interacting with the real components. The vast amount of icons, and easy to use makes it stand in the top rated companies to visualise the architecture. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Cloudcraft? As most of the companies are already moving to Confluence or have already moved there, a better integration is required where people can create diagrams using the document itself and don't have to copy paste the links or use an iframe.. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Cloudcraft: Please ensure that this is integrated with your current documentation platform to reap all the benefits Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Cloudcraft solving and how is that benefiting you? Cloudcraft is giving us a much better visual of the architecture that we create in our day to day work. It improve the quality of the architecture which makes it easy to understand for others. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 10/22/2020 "Great tool for AWS Architecture Diagrams" 4/5 What do you like best about Cloudcraft? Quick and easy to diagram AWS architectures. It has every icon for any AWS service. Useful in creating documentation of back-end platforms or as a presentation tool in meetings for the design of new architectural proposals. Very detailed reports of AWS monthly budgets. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Cloudcraft? I would love to have the respective diagrams but of other competing platforms (such as Google and Azure). The learning curve is bit high but justifies the results. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Cloudcraft solving and how is that benefiting you? I can show clear AWS architecture to my internal team and modify it in real-time during our review sessions. For freelancing project, I can easily review with the client the proposed structure and show in detail every component and their costs associated. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
