Great tool for design and documentation
What do you like best about the product?
CloudCraft is a great tool to design and document amazing professional looking architecture diagrams, and on top of that it's really simple to use.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's sometimes hard to position text the way you want it, and the arrows between elements could be more customizable.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I'm using CloudCraft to document existing architecture and present newly designed architecture to clients. The biggest benefit is the time saving which CloudCraft gives me since the UI is really easy to use.

Architect
Easy to use and invaluable for Cloud estate understanding
What do you like best about the product?
The integration with existing AWS accounts is amazing for understanding existing infrastructure
What do you dislike about the product?
You still need to layer your own understanding of compute savings plans on top of the budgets
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As a cloud consultant, it makes it incredibly easy to evaluate a client's existing estate, and highlight spending hotspots
The perfect solution to map out any SAAS environment
What do you like best about the product?
I find the solution itself very useable being able to create a SAAS diagram and then export it as a png has been brilliant to use and have used this in many documents over the past year
What do you dislike about the product?
I feel it is missing the feature to create Cloudformation templates from the diagrams, which would make it more a AWS only feature but it would save alot of time for solutions architects to have to create or even a CFN upload that maps out infrastructure
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Being able to map out our SAAS application to show the customer what we will be implanted and show differences from what we use to use to what we can bring to the table
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you want a solution that has good free parts to map out any SAAS environment Cloudcraft would be the perfect place to start

Beautiful Interface, Beautiful Cloud Diagrams
What do you like best about the product?
CloudCraft is the number one cloud diagraming platform. Beautiful interface, choice of 2D vs 3D, lots of icons, the ability to create custom icons and more make CloudCraft our go to for designing cloud infrastructure. Connect to to your AWS account and it'll map stuff for you. Really great service.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's a premium product with a premium price tag.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use CloudCraft to create diagrams of AWS infrastructure for projects we are working on... Without it we definitely wouldn't have won a number of the contracts we did.
Insightful Visualation Tool

The ability to generate CloudFormation Templates from diagrams.
What do you dislike about the product?
The cost is a little too high deploy at scale.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The ability to be able to diagram and cost simultaneously.
Best visualization tool for cloud architecture
What do you like best about the product?
The end result is without a doubt the best visualization for a cloud architecture I have seen from any tool. UI is fairly simple. Didn't have to root around to find the right symbols as I usually have to in Visio or something not specifically designed for visualizing cloud architectures. Would definitely recommend for individual users, especially if you are trying to learn cloud architecture or even teaching it/blogging about it etc.
What do you dislike about the product?
Pricing tier jump from free to $49 per user doesn't make sense for me as an individual user. Might work if the company pays for it. But I can't see the justification for it to an individual.
The main advantage of a paid account is the AWS sync feature, which could work better as a paid add-on to the free tier.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Very helpful in planning out resources before implementing, especially in an educational or training scenario. Was very useful when I was trying to get the AWS certifications.
Amazing Experience

Cloudcraft is an excellent tool for drawing Cloud Architecture whether AWS, GCP or Azure.

There is a learning curve to using CloudCraft so took a few days for me to get the hang of it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The main solution I was seeking was how to create professional cloud computing designs
