The best part of using Progress Chef is that it doesn't depend on a single cloud infrastructure. We offer SaaS as well as Product as a Service. Given this, we provide infrastructure code and Docker images for applications to our customers. Therefore, we required a service that can manage both infrastructure code and application deployment, including the pipeline for future releases. In these terms, Progress Chef is the go-to solution for us, whether our customer is in AWS, Azure, or GCP. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
