Great product with excellent support
What do you like best about the product?
The employees of massdriver are incredibly attentive and helpful. Setting up all these resources manually with terraform can be incredibly time consuming so to be able to offload some of that is awesome, and they also do a great job of giving base templates.
What do you dislike about the product?
Given that it's a new product, there's still some basic difficulties in setup, without a clear walkthrough, but they do an incredible hands-on introduction which is more effective than any guide.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Massdriver automates parts of our devops process, making it easy to spin up and down deployments of cloud infrastructure with one click.
Makes Azure Deployment a breeze

Connecting and setting up an entire cloud deployment without having to manually configure everything.
Also makes the system design easy to manage and understand, as it is visualized and created like a canvas.
Amazing team that is very adamant about providing support.

Cloud Deployment
DevOps Automation with the Precision of Hand-Crafted Pipelines
What do you like best about the product?
Embarking on our startup journey, we were faced with the daunting challenge of allocating scarce resources between R&D for our MVP and setting up infrastructure. This is where Massdriver became our beacon. My preference has always been towards handcrafting pipelines in DevOps, yet Massdriver has been a transformative experience. It's remarkable to see such a robust foundational framework in a platform that's still in its early stages. The open-source modules model stands out, promising flexibility and growth. The tech team has been nothing short of a revelation. Their responsiveness and commitment go beyond just offering a tool—they've truly become our partners. With an extensive feature set and their keenness to adapt to unique use-cases, they've seamlessly integrated with our vision. Their roadmap, which aligns so well with ours, is a testament to their foresight.
What do you dislike about the product?
While Massdriver is a robust platform, one minor hiccup is the lack of widespread information and ready-made solutions available on popular forums like StackOverflow. This means you can't always rely on a quick Google search for solutions. However, this minor drawback is more than compensated for by their support chat in the Slack workspace. The direct access to Massdriver engineers is invaluable. In fact, I've even contributed a module myself, and they're open to and appreciative of contributions from everyone.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Massdriver seamlessly bridges the divide between the precision of hand-crafted DevOps and the efficiency of automation. Amidst the initial challenges of our startup, Massdriver streamlined our infrastructure process, allowing us to prioritize our MVP's R&D. Their proactive approach to user feedback, coupled with the open-source nature of the platform, ensures it remains an essential tool in our DevOps arsenal.
Operational Excellence
What do you like best about the product?
Massdriver is incredibly easy to use, and makes best practices for operations approachable even for novices. Despite this, it also provides immense power to more advanced users.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing; it's still a fairly new product, and there are features I would like them to develop, but the offering as-is is more than enough.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Managing operational infrastructure is always a challenging endeavor with a small team, but Massdriver makes it easy. Infrastructure and applications can be deployed easily using their graphic interface, and their suite of bundles and packages are a dream come true for anyone who values DRY principles.
Massdriver saved me hours and ensured all infrastructure is provisioned to the best standards
What do you like best about the product?
I have been using Massdriver for about 6 months and it has helped me a lot to save time provisioning new services and infrastructure modules in no time. It has helped me with deployments, secrets management, provisioning, environments management all whilst ensuring best security practices. As the Head of Engineering at a small tech startup it has helped me optimise my time and focus on other important tasks without compromising on the quality of our backend infrastructure. I also like the fact that you can make suggestions on new features and vote for suggestions by other users, that helps Massdriver to shape the tool in a way that suits all of their clients.
What do you dislike about the product?
I have had a few issues when provisioning some services and the errors that I was displayed were not the most useful for me at the time, however the team at Massdriver are super prompt with responding and helping me resolve any issues. They have also been working hard to address some of these issues and I am sure the platform will become more and more stable as they are always working hard to improve it and listen to user's feedback.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Massdriver helped me provision a Kubernetes cluster with minimum learning curve, at the time I was not very experienced with Kuberenetes and I knew that it is quite complex to maintain a whole cluster without an experienced DevOps team to support you. However Massdriver helped me set up a new cluster in no time as well as improving our infrastructure by configuring all VPNs, security groups and communication between all of my services with minimal effort.

Mangment & Orchestration tool for Linux platforms
What do you like best about the product?
It's good for managing the Linux operating systems, its salt management tools support multiple flavors like RedHat, Cent OS and even Ubuntu (Debian based).
Most of the orchestration tools are limited to their specific distribution only (mostly their own). Still, the Suse's Manager can deal with a variety of distributions like suse , ubuntu etc.

What do you dislike about the product?
Doesnt supports cloud public cloud-native integrations. You have to use it as BYOL in market place. Such as in Azure you have to use the suse image from the marketplace and then have to install it in the same VPC.
Also, it would be good if it has some competitor features like well-architected reviews and security assessments.

Orchestration and management of multiple distributions in a physical datcenter. Eliminating the need to access different OS and install the patches and software updates separately.
