Beautiful AWS Diagrams and Cost Estimation all in one
What do you like best about the product?
I like how simple it is to use and how beautiful the diagrams look. It also allows you to estimate costs, so I can price out a specific network build in Cloudcraft before deploying - allowing me to stay within a budget and design with the said budget in mind. The budget breakdown view is fantastic and probably the best part of the platform. Their Live Mode allows me to link our AWS to Cloudcraft and see our existing infrastructure - it is an amazing feature that has come in handy and one that I am glad they added.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't think there is a single thing I dislike about Cloudcraft - it is extremely resilient, portable, and easy to use. It took me maybe 20-30 minutes to become an "expert" at most of its features. I would not change a single thing - the drag and drop is great, and the UI is beautiful and very clean.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Cloudcraft to document our network and modifications. I also use it to stay within budget as we are a smaller organization and have a very restricted budget. I have budgeted and planned all of our network/AWS infrastructure purely on Cloudcraft. Additionally, the budget view is absolutely amazing - it gives a breakdown, service by service of the estimated monthly cost.

Nothing in particular. It might be nice to have more pricing options for smaller teams.

Using Cloudcraft to communicate ideas in my team in a quicker fashion.
useful tool
What do you like best about the product?
It's especially helpful when you use the budgeting / cost features, but even if you ignore those features it's still a best-in-class product and by far the easiest to use and get up to speed with.
What do you dislike about the product?
it is using ONLY AWS for maximum benefit,
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our team didn't have an easy way to visualize our AWS infrastructure.

Cloudcraft is an esencial product when you start using AWS
What do you like best about the product?
Cloudcraft is very specific when its coming to features of some AWS product, you can customize your selection, so at the end you get reasonable estimations that are super difficult to get from AWS calculator, and especially not with that level of details.
You can also export your diagrams, access them online, or even store them in Google Drive, Dropbox, etc...

What do you dislike about the product?
Not dislike, but a nice to have the support of other Cloud provider, and also a comparison tool, might be useful to decide the selection of the provider from case to case
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Have the diagram of my whole infrastructure in an intuitive way that help me and my team to collaborate on it.
It is good to have a visual archive somewhere, where you just access and continue working on it
The price estimation is not accurate 100% by AWS but with Cloudcraft we have always in-front of you how much the actual infra might cost you

Full featured Design tool
What do you like best about the product?
Cloudcraft allows me to build out proposals quickly by having pricing data built into the design process.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish Cloudcraft could be used for GPC and Azure as well. Only AWS at this time.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am able to create network diagrams and budgets in the same tool.
Before Cloudcraft, I almost considered using paper and pencil...
What do you like best about the product?
Drawing AWS objects is fairly flawless and intuitive.
What do you dislike about the product?
I think exporting files could be easier, but generally, I'm just happy with the product as it is.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I needed to describe my AWS infrastructure with simple graphs that included the essential information.
A solid tool for creating great looking AWS diagrams
What do you like best about the product?
The web UI is very clean and easy to use when creating various types of AWS cloud diagrams. It utilizes very clean and professional looking icons that results in some of the best looking diagrams with minimal effort. Additionally the budget feature makes it easy to estimate the initial costs of the infrastructure as part of the design stage.
What do you dislike about the product?
Certain AWS services have an "enhanced" experience when utilizing the tool (e.g. EC2, RDS, EFS, S3, etc). Basically these enhanced services have special 3D icons and have integration with the budget calculator. To me these "enhanced" services are a killer feature that really helps set the tool apart, however, there are still a large number of AWS services that aren't represented in this fashion. When you are creating your diagram and bump up against a situation where you have to represent a non-enhanced service it really breaks the flow and synergy of the tool. This is by no means a deal breaker however and as time goes on the list of non-enhanced services is shrinking.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We do a lot of cloud consulting along with helping various companies migrate into the cloud. When it comes to presenting this information cleanly to clients in documentation or review sessions it is hard to beat a Cloudcraft diagram. Additionally when initially mapping out these new cloud architectures the budget tools provides a great way to quickly estimate the expected costs.
A very useful and convenient product
What do you like best about the product?
The feature I like best is visualization and easy to use.
Cost calculation is also a very helpful feature.
Cost calculation is also a very helpful feature.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is nothing I think it is the downside. However, it is very good if the animation is supported. For instance, the flow of data could be animated by moving arrows.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Cloudcraft help me visualize the infrastructure of our system and make it easy to understand for stakeholders.
It saves time and strengthens my presentation in a very intuitive way.
