Some parts of Progre­ss Chef might appear a bit complex. If those­ sections were stre­amlined, it would be easie­r to navigate.

Great community of users and contributors
Extensibility of the products allows customizations to be treated as 1st class citizens
Infrastructure as Code + Compliance as Code!
Code is very easy to read and write

Paid support can be difficult to get through to someone you feel like understands the problem, or that can speak in a way that is adequately technical (have you tried turning it off and back on again?)
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Ensured compliance
Deployment of systems with minimal user effort
Turning pets to cattle
