"ControlMonkey delivers full control and visibility across our cloud IaC"

5/5

What do you like best about ControlMonkey?

ControlMonkey gives us significantly better visibility and control over our cloud environments.

Our DevOps team supports multiple internal teams, each with different infrastructure needs. We operate mainly on AWS, and most of our infrastructure is managed through Terraform, Terragrunt, OpenTofu, and Crossplane.

Before ControlMonkey, managing everything was more challenging. We had several Terraform codebases, different Terraform versions, and a mix of pipeline-based and manual deployments. It wasn’t always clear what had changed, where drift existed, or whether our environments were fully aligned with our IaC.

After onboarding our environments to ControlMonkey, we gained much better control. The drift alerts helped us catch changes we didn’t know were happening, including cloud provider changes, automatic upgrades, and limited manual changes in sensitive environments.

We also use ControlMonkey to manage GitHub repositories and configuration as IaC, which made repository creation and configuration more structured, consistent, and easier to govern.

Overall, the product simply works. Our cooperation with the ControlMonkey team has also been excellent—they’re responsive, practical, and genuinely care about our feedback and use cases. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ControlMonkey?

Nothing major at this point. The product has been working well for our needs.

One area that could be useful for us is more flexible grouping of namespaces, especially as more teams and environments are onboarded. Overall, the core functionality is strong and the team has been very responsive to feedback. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

ControlMonkey helps us solve visibility, drift detection, and control across cloud infrastructure and IaC.

Before using it, our environment was harder to manage because we had several Terraform codebases, different versions, and a mix of manual and automated deployments. That created gaps in visibility and made it harder to know if the real cloud state matched the intended IaC state.

With ControlMonkey, we have much better control over onboarded environments. We get alerts on drift, including changes caused by automatic cloud provider updates or limited manual work. This helps us reduce surprises and react faster when something changes outside the expected process.

It gives us a more reliable way to manage infrastructure, keep our cloud configuration closer to the expected state, and improve confidence in our IaC process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Backup Your Entire Vendor Stack"

5/5

What do you like best about ControlMonkey?

Extremely fast at delivering new backup features. If you’re using a third party that has a Terraform provider and you realize you don’t have IaC, no problem—get CM on their case and they’ll get you a daily backup of the entire vendor stack within a week or two. That’s amazing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ControlMonkey?

The stored IaC is raw and not directly usable in its current form. It would be great to have a generic way to store module inputs instead, so that the backed-up IaC can be reapplied directly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"From Days to Minutes: Confident, Snapshot-Driven Recovery"

5/5

What do you like best about ControlMonkey?

What used to take days now takes minutes, I feel confident working with them and suggest to customers their solution Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ControlMonkey?

One of the biggest benefits for our customers is how much manual work it removed from recovery situations. Before, it depended a lot on who was available and what they remembered. Now they have snapshots and a clearer path to recovery, which takes a lot of pressure off the team when something goes wrong. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Full DRP for our Networking Architecture with Terraform and ControlMonkey"

5/5

What do you like best about ControlMonkey?

Many of our AWS networking resources were not managed with Terraform Code, leaving us with no easy way to roll back configuration when needed.

ControlMonkey's Terraform Import Engine connected to our AWS accounts in minutes, and with a few clicks, we automatically generated the Terraform Code that represented our existing configuration.

We now have a DRP for our networking architecture, and we also utilize ControlMonkey to identify drifts from our desired networking configuration. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ControlMonkey?

Currently supporting only Terraform/OpenTofu/Terragrunt. I’d like to see them supporting more IaC Frameworks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Shifted our AWS Infrastructure to Terraform in no time!"

5/5

What do you like best about ControlMonkey?

ControlMonkey was exactly the solution we were looking for to help us shift all our cloud accounts to Terraform. Their generative algorithm automatically generated the Terraform code for thousands of resources, and right before we knew it, we were managing and scaling our Infrastructure with Terraform. Rather than taking a few months, ControlMonkey completed the migration project in just a few weeks, and freed my DevOps time to work on other urgent projects.

Further more, we absolutely love the support we get and the professional level of the team that are ready to tackle any challenges we encounter. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ControlMonkey?

Currently, for visibility, they only fully support AWS, which makes it a bit challenging if you're running multi-cloud. I guess they will expand their offering to Azure and GCP as well very soon Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

ControlMonkey shortened the Terraform migration project time by at least 70%, freed our DevOps from writing Terraform code themselves and made sure the process was streamlined and errorless. we also use it to create ad hock environments for testing and development, its perfect because we can control the infra and who can spin up which parts of predefined infra templates. including TTL on each of these environments.

"The Infrastructure Automation platform we were looking for"

5/5

What do you like best about ControlMonkey?

The ControlMonkey platform was everything my team needed in order to manage and scale our AWS environments.

We use ControlMonkey as an Infrastructure CI/CD solution, and that helps us to release faster to production, without compromising on security or compliance.

Thanks to ControlMonkey we successfully shifted our mindset and strategy from ClickOps to fully GitOps.

The team there is super strong, and every feature we requested was developed in a week, which really blew my mind. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ControlMonkey?

Not much that I dislike, this product has been a real game changer for us, but one thing to mention is that they still haven't got their own Terraform Module registry as part of what they offer.

Not that this is a big deal, but just wanted to point that out. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Prior to ControlMonkey, we used to handle all our Infrastructure operations manually through the AWS console, lacking any well-defined procedures for provisioning Infrastructure.

The ControlMonkey platform ensures that our cloud environment consistently maintains its intended configuration. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
