What do you dislike about Cloudify?

Cloudify's strength lies in managing complex, distributed applications and multi-cloud environments.

In such cases, simpler tools or approaches may be more suitable and easier to adopt. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Orchestration of IT appliances, applications and services in a mobile environment"

5/5

What do you like best about Cloudify?

I really enjoyed the possibility of automating the deployment of IT appliances so easily. It is also a great way to scale up IT environments in a fast way. It is also one of the few platforms that supports TOSCA templates. One more thing that I liked of Cloudify is that it is open source! Cloudify's Community Edition is a great tool to start automating IT services. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cloudify?

Nothing special to highlight as a downside... I would only suggest to provide a more detailed documentation of the product. Also, when I worked with the platform some APIs that I needed were't available... but honestly now I don't remember which API it was. It could be that Cloudify's team developed it in the meantime.

What problems is Cloudify solving and how is that benefiting you?

I had to compose and orchestrate all the IT Services of a military base in a completely automatic way to deploy new sites in a short period. I had to start from bare metal, passing by network and virtualization, to arrive to applications. Everything should have been done automatically. We used platforms as Cloudify, Ansible and Jenkins to achieve it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Excellent orchestration tool, but misunderstood and missed its moment of relevance."

3/5

What do you like best about Cloudify?

Cloudify has a sensible blueprinting mechanism, a clearly defined orchestration process and reasonably straightforward DSL. The python support of Cloudify is a huge plus.

Cloudify support teams are knowledgeable and very helpful. They have a deep understanding of the product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cloudify?

Community support is hit/miss. Cloudify doesn’t have the market share or breadth of exposure other deployment tools have. The learning curve is steep for first time users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Cloudify:

Ensure you understand why a graph-based orchestration is more effective in your workflow, compared to alternative deployment tools (I.e. terraform) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Cloudify solving and how is that benefiting you?

Cloudify was very effective in providing a mechanism to orchestrate VM and application deployments in an Openstack private cloud environment. Cloudify would be used to trigger openstack deployments, and call configuration management tools through a custom plugin. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
