"Spacelift Brings Strong Governance, Self-Service Guardrails, and Great Support"

5/5

What do you like best about Spacelift?

Spacelift provides the guardrails needed to support a multi-team environment. It offers policy support for governance, delegation layers that balance security with self-service, and a local-preview feature that helps prevent “works on my machine” scenarios while enabling quick self-checks. On top of that, its state management and stack designs make day-to-day administration and overall organization easier.

The platform is also backed by a knowledgeable, responsive team. They work with you as a partner—supporting your activities, helping you reach your goals, and improving the product in ways that benefit your use cases. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Spacelift?

The hardest part about using Spacelift is making sure we’re delivering enough value to the company to justify the cost. There are other ways to manage our environment without Spacelift, so the conversation often becomes less about whether it works and more about whether it’s worth the spend. From a usability standpoint, it’s been great: we have our quarterly meetings and there’s basically nothing to complain about. At the same time, it has taken extra effort to explain the expense to the money people.

In the end, this isn’t really a Spacelift problem so much as a challenge of clearly communicating all the benefits the platform brings, including the “insurance” side of it—less money saved and more money not risked—by using Spacelift. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

In a multi-team environment we're able to use shared workloads without stepping on one another's toes. Issues that may arise are easier to troubleshoot with the auditing provided. Who ran what, when, and logs showing what occurred. Drift detection to highlight live changes and account for them.

Then the pure scale we're able to achieve. Our environment runs releases across 20+ AWS accounts at a time with 10+ stacks per environment. We're able to easily trigger and manage the stacks. And now with the AI assistant we're able to have it crawl those stacks and report on stack feedback details easily. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
