Cloudcraft Reviews & Product Details

The end result is without a doubt the best visualization for a cloud architecture I have seen from any tool. UI is fairly simple. Didn't have to root around to find the right symbols as I usually have to in Visio or something not specifically designed for visualizing cloud architectures. Would definitely recommend for individual users, especially if you are trying to learn cloud architecture or even teaching it/blogging about it etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Pricing tier jump from free to $49 per user doesn't make sense for me as an individual user. Might work if the company pays for it. But I can't see the justification for it to an individual.

The main advantage of a paid account is the AWS sync feature, which could work better as a paid add-on to the free tier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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.

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.

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.

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.

With Cloudcraft, I can conceptualize cloud architecture in the planning stage. The platform also enables me to predict OPEX required for the solutions allowing stakeholders to make informed decisions. With the live feature, I can easily import my cloud inventory, Cloudcraft automatically creates layouts based on service relationships and provides live data of all components and more.

It would be wonderful to add a feature where I am able to export the drawings to Microsoft Visio. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I find the solution itself very useable being able to create a SAAS diagram and then export it as a png has been brilliant to use and have used this in many documents over the past year Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I feel it is missing the feature to create Cloudformation templates from the diagrams, which would make it more a AWS only feature but it would save alot of time for solutions architects to have to create or even a CFN upload that maps out infrastructure Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

- 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.

- 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.

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.

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.

I love how Cloudcraft integrates with AWS and pulls all your servers into the system and maps everything out for you. so you can easily show how your infrastructure is designed. exporting as pdf, jpg is great. but also the export as terraform code is awesome.

honestly nothing. the system is supereb. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is very easy to use, in the first steps of an architectural design it is important to have a tool like this where you can put and move components through a friendly UI. The cost estimation is very good and key for an early budget.

The visualization tools are always an excellent ally to communicate with non-technical stakeholders. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Probably it is a bit expensive for only one user or little projects Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The aesthetic of the tool is wonderful. Clear, easy to understand, and uncluttered. Personally, I like working in the isometric view, but switching to the 2D viewport is seamless and just as easy to use.

Reorganising existing designs is really simple and takes seconds.

I particularly like how intuitive the experience is: within minutes I'd created my first diagrams. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Some of the more esoteric AWS services are missing. I'd also use the tool more if it supported GCP too. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
