    Effective Infrastructure Management with Learning Curve

    Reviewed on Jul 30, 2026
    Review provided by G2
    What do you like best about the product?
    I like how Progress Chef offers easy configuration management and makes the upgrade of software components in our entire infrastructure simple, even within a regulated environment. I appreciate its capability to maintain industry-standard CIS across all the software in the organization. Plus, I find the infrastructure ageless and straightforward to manage.
    What do you dislike about the product?

    I use Progress Chef for managing configurations and upgrading software components easily, even in a regulated environment. It helps maintain industry-standard CIS across our organization's software, making infrastructure management ageless and simple.
