Featured Reviews

Purva - PeerSpot reviewer
Application development senior analyst at Accenture
Automated vision checks have reduced defects and now improve throughput in hardware assembly
The best features Assembly Copilot offers include real-time operator guidance via displays, lights, and projectors, which helps to prevent any errors with automatic cycle timing and grading against ideal workflows, as well as impressive video traceability for root cause analysis. I find myself relying most on the feature that reduces rework, as it helps reduce scrap and compliance issues by intervening only when errors are imminent, improving yield and quality without slowing the operators. Assembly Copilot positively impacts my organization by providing actionable data for engineers to balance lines, identify waste, and compare performance across shifts, which accelerates process improvement.
Diego Paradeda - PeerSpot reviewer
Senior Software Engineer at Philips
Automated infrastructure deployment has reduced our backend release time from days to hours
I found an issue with features that was difficult for me when we needed to retrieve some tags or IDs of a resource that we deployed using Upbound Crossplane, for example, the RDS. We encountered a problem where we needed to use the ID of the RDS in another document that we have, making it difficult to return this information using Upbound Crossplane deployment. I believe Upbound Crossplane could be improved by possibly having a feature that can return tags, IDs, or resources that were deployed inside AWS, such as needing to return the ID of the VPC that we create when using Upbound Crossplane. I think the current state of Upbound Crossplane is already good enough.

Pros

"Assembly Copilot positively impacts my organization by providing actionable data for engineers to balance lines, identify waste, and compare performance across shifts, which accelerates process improvement."
"Assembly Copilot has positively impacted my organization by allowing tasks that used to require three to four days to be completed within a day or even within a few minutes."
"The time required to complete an environment setup was reduced from about one or two weeks to forty to fifty minutes."
"Upbound Crossplane has impacted our organization positively as it has been a transformative experience because the main thing about transformation is how we were able to make our lives easier as engineers."
"Upbound Crossplane has positively impacted our organization by allowing us to reduce our deployment time from three days to three hours for the entire back-end and entire infrastructure."
"We went from having a 28-member troubleshooting team down to four to five members of the platform engineering team."
"When I provisioned PostgreSQL and S3 buckets through Crossplane, I noticed improvements in deployment speed, reliability, and team collaboration."
"Before choosing Upbound Crossplane, I evaluated various options, but I only found Upbound Crossplane to be the best choice."
"Upbound Crossplane impacts my organization positively because, from our perspective, we need to rely on fewer resources."
"The best features Upbound Crossplane offers are infrastructure as Kubernetes APIs and self-service infrastructure, where developers can provision resources without cloud credentials, and its strong multi-cloud support that makes it useful in managing AWS, Azure, and GCP from a single control plane with valuable GitOps integration."
 

Cons

"Assembly Copilot can be improved with a clearer return of investment calculator and easier scaling across global factors to help enterprise adoption beyond early adopters."
"There are many good points about Assembly Copilot, but one thing that I feel is missing is the ability to interact using more sample data from whatever input I provide."
"I found an issue with features that was difficult for me when we needed to retrieve some tags or IDs of a resource that we deployed using Upbound Crossplane, for example, the RDS."
"One area where Upbound Crossplane can be improved is with API rate limiting."
"The documentation needs to be updated regarding the needed improvements for Upbound Crossplane. There is very little documentation online, and there are no tutorials for Upbound Crossplane."
"Regarding Upbound Crossplane, I see room for enhancement in synchronizing the state file of Crossplane with Terraform, as 90% of organizations have generally implemented Terraform and have their own specific, environment-specific Terraform state files."
"Upbound Crossplane can be improved if they can add more AI agentic workflows."
"However, one area of improvement is the learning curve, as Upbound Crossplane concepts such as providers, compositions, and claims can be difficult for beginners."
"Upbound Crossplane was not stable in my experience."
"Regarding Upbound Crossplane's capabilities, I feel the governance and security is something which is lacking."
