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.

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.
ControlMonkey continuously captures your entire cloud and SaaS configuration. When incidents happen, our time machine restores your cloud to a known-good state. Most companies have a data recovery story. Fewer have an infra recovery story. When something breaks–and it will–restoring data isn’t enough. You also need the infra, permissions, and systems that make everything run. ControlMonkey helps you restore that environment and reduce recovery time.
