Cloudify Pros review quotes

Cloudify works in cases where you have very advanced service chaining requirements. It really works well there, and it fits the best. They have a standardized markup that's based on TOSCA, which is a standard. I like the fact that they're standards-based. Their solution works extremely well if you have the talent and the manpower to write TOSCA descriptors to deploy and interchange services or to automate the configuration and turn up of services.

Product has given us the ability to catch early scaling issues that many companies hit on with private clouds.

TOSCA model allows modeling the application rather than the automation. It is a machine-readable representation of the application and its infrastructure, which can be used for other things too, not just for the orchestration (e.g. enterprise architecture big picture, who connects to whom).

Valuable features are auto-scaling and load balancing.
 

Cloudify Cons review quotes

Mark Wittling - PeerSpot reviewer
Jul 21, 2022
It lacked the user interface for multitenancy and basic platform management tasks. It is a leader in the niche area that they like to perform in, but it only does about 30% of top-tier advanced functions of platform management. It doesn't meet about 70% of what you need to manage a private cloud platform.

The solution is a bit of a headache because mistakes happen in the blueprint every time we deploy and they require modifications.

Error handling could be improved; GUI is lacking with respect to user privileges and connectivity.

Certainly the UI could use some intensive work, but nevertheless, overall, it’s a complete product with its 3.4 version and much better features are available with 4.0.

Install of the product itself could be improved and I would like to see better event monitoring.

Unlike the Docker environment, Cloudify takes time for configuration and its learning curve.
