With Cloudify you can work with various cloud platforms, enabling hybrid and multi-cloud deployments
What do you like best about the product?
Cloudify has an active and growing community of users and contributors. The community provides support, documentation, and resources, making it easier to get started and learn from others' experiences. Having an engaged community can be valuable for troubleshooting, sharing best practices, and getting insights into the platform's usage in real-world scenarios.
What do you dislike about the product?
Cloudify's strength lies in managing complex, distributed applications and multi-cloud environments. However, for simpler or smaller deployments that don't require extensive orchestration and automation, Cloudify may appear as overkill. In such cases, simpler tools or approaches may be more suitable and easier to adopt.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Managing the lifecycle of applications, including deployment, scaling, and monitoring, can be challenging, especially for complex, distributed systems. Cloudify provides comprehensive lifecycle management, allowing users to define and enforce policies for scaling, healing, and optimization. This ensures that applications can adapt to changing demands, automatically scale resources as needed, and maintain desired performance and availability levels.

Easy to deploy, self-service, intuitive
What do you like best about the product?
The platform is very intuitive, the integration plugins are awesome and save lots of time. The blueprint definition and edition are great, and you can easily import and export. All possible feature required were considered in the design of the platform, including Sites and Tenant management which is a business enabler
What do you dislike about the product?
The look&feel of the platform could be improved, and also shared across all the components like the composer which is a bit different
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We were trying to find a blueprint definition tool based on TOSCA standards and very flexible. This tool allows us to do that in a very scalable way, easily importing and exporting templates. The topology view, and the toggle button to switch between source and topology is very useful
Orchestration of IT appliances, applications and services in a mobile environment
What do you like best about the product?
I really enjoyed the possibility of automating the deployment of IT appliances so easily. It is also a great way to scale up IT environments in a fast way. It is also one of the few platforms that supports TOSCA templates. One more thing that I liked of Cloudify is that it is open source! Cloudify's Community Edition is a great tool to start automating IT services.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing special to highlight as a downside... I would only suggest to provide a more detailed documentation of the product. Also, when I worked with the platform some APIs that I needed were't available... but honestly now I don't remember which API it was. It could be that Cloudify's team developed it in the meantime.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I had to compose and orchestrate all the IT Services of a military base in a completely automatic way to deploy new sites in a short period. I had to start from bare metal, passing by network and virtualization, to arrive to applications. Everything should have been done automatically. We used platforms as Cloudify, Ansible and Jenkins to achieve it.

Excellent orchestration tool, but misunderstood and missed its moment of relevance.
What do you like best about the product?
Cloudify has a sensible blueprinting mechanism, a clearly defined orchestration process and reasonably straightforward DSL. The python support of Cloudify is a huge plus.
Cloudify support teams are knowledgeable and very helpful. They have a deep understanding of the product.

What do you dislike about the product?
Community support is hit/miss. Cloudify doesn’t have the market share or breadth of exposure other deployment tools have. The learning curve is steep for first time users.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Cloudify was very effective in providing a mechanism to orchestrate VM and application deployments in an Openstack private cloud environment. Cloudify would be used to trigger openstack deployments, and call configuration management tools through a custom plugin.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Ensure you understand why a graph-based orchestration is more effective in your workflow, compared to alternative deployment tools (I.e. terraform)
