Documentation can be sparse/inaccurate/non-existent/overly technical - Really need that community support for complicated issues
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 do you dislike about the product?
Our most significant issue is keeping up as the product evolves. We are still using Berkshelf and are struggling to find the time to learn about policy files to facilitate the transition away from Berkshelf.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
First and foremost, we use Chef for the configuration management of our Windows Servers. In the past, we used a lot of PowerShell scripts and Group Policy to manage configuration. As our environment grew and we went from one or two Active Directory domains to five or six, Group Policy became more problematic. Chef has allowed us to utilize the same configuration source regardless of the domain the system resides in and even for those not in an AD Domain.
Now that we are managing most of our Windows Server configuration with Chef, we are now moving into using Chef for compliance purposes.

Very pleased with Chef and it's products
What do you like best about the product?
The product line up offered from Chef. I mostly use the Infrastructure management and compliance tools. Super helpful and innovative.
What do you dislike about the product?
In the past, when I've run into hurdles working with Chef software, I've reached out to Chef directly and to the community and don't always find what I need.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Chef is solving infrastructure management and cloud compliance beautifully. It's so much better to just write a cookbook or inspec profile and have Chef do the work than to spend hours doing all the work yourself.
