Right scale have helped us to monitor, deployed and troubleshoot deployments
What do you like best about the product?
Cloud management gives you details node by node and that help us a lot to troubleshoot
What do you dislike about the product?
We need more Information on if scripts fails
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Users and team wfm and deployments. It can be easily hook up with Jenkins
RightScale is the CMP we just Migrated to. The vision is great , the learning process is tiresome
What do you like best about the product?
There is a lot of hype around CMP and Rightscale from Flexera. We evaluated a few products online and based on recommendations, went ahead with Flexera rightscale. The good part about Rightscale is the support model and the quick response we get from Rightscale support. There are a tutorials and learning mateirial also available for us to get onboarded.
What do you dislike about the product?
The learning curve seems huge. The Rightscale language is different and for onboarding Java developers, we need more examples, scenarios, boards where devs can talk and ask questions etc. The custom action creation seems a challenge initially. Plus Rightscale response to custom actions is slow and takes a few more seconds than the underlying action would. Also debugging is a challenge coming from Java bakground.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are migrating our product to google cloud and needed a CMP to help us manage and setup our tool on multi-tenant scenario. While there were a lot of changes we need in the app, we also had to work on imgae creation and docker migration etc. Here Rightscale and its solutions is helping us smoothen out the deployment and usage of the Cloud. This is also for helping us manage the cost
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Cost management on cloud is a key differentiatior in any migration from inhouse to cloud. But the cost should be considered keeping in mind the ease of rolling out and management. Eventually most probably you would have java/.net developers as part of the team who come with a different set of mindset to programming and support. Look for a tool which has good support, learning material and also helps in managing cost by displaying, alering on usage of a sever set up for testing etc.
Used across my organization and has helped our devops process to move to the next level
What do you like best about the product?
Ease of learning, ease of deployment, support and a well defined robust process of CAT (cloud access template) management and custom actions for each deployment. Custom actions are a heart of any deployment and give the ease to run specific operations on any server on cloud. These can be as simple as stopping a server to as complex as changing a configuration on a server and then restarting it.
What do you dislike about the product?
The speed at which the CMP triggers a custom action is slower than if we were to use the underlying commands. FOr example if we use a google cloud command to create a server it is faster than a cat with a custom action to do so. This limits the seed at which deployments can be made on cloud.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
moving the product to cloud platform and the ease of releasing versions of the product. Any blue-green rollover or a clean deployment is much easier as we have a form like page for support engineers instead of complex set of commands for performing actions. A runbook can be easily created to provide instructions on what needs to be done in any scenario for support engineers to work on.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Ease of training material and ready made snippets of code to help developers work. This helps lessen the learning curve and debugging the application. Writing custom actions is difficult if help is not available for new teams. Also look for solutions which have a good support team. This will help when the team is stuck with a scenario where their may be a requireemnt for code review of expert advise.

feedback about flexera
What do you like best about the product?
Used its good UI as a cloud management platform to interact with any AWS or Google Cloud.

Less Documentation available so difficult to explore given APIs. There should be some forums where developers and share their challenges and best practices.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Using this we are able to migrate our datacenter to cloud easily.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
There are various CMP available but the options and functionality given by flexera is much convenient to use.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Review what is available in the market. You might be looking for something different. The platforms provided offer many different services, not all are the same. CMP was the best fit fo my organisation.
