Aaron Prashanth - PeerSpot reviewer
Dev Ops Engineer at Siemens Industry
Consistent releases have improved collaboration while configuration procedures still need simplification
What stands out for me in Chef SaaS is that the procedure is straightforward and the release goes smoothly because we can create different versions according to our own requirements. Chef SaaS helps with collaboration between our development and operations team. A benefit I can see is that configuring is easier because developers commit new code and new versions, and using Chef SaaS, we can create different cookbooks. Cookbooks contain different recipes, and different cookbooks represent different versions. Using these versions, we can consolidate and create a new package that will help us with the release. Since this is a product-based company and our product is wind turbines, every time we have a product release or patch release, Chef SaaS helps us tremendously. We release different patch cycles such as LTS patch cycles, Windows patches, or any kind of patch feature and built features. To maintain the cycle, the process is quite smooth.

Secure remote imaging has transformed global workflows and supports high‑performance creative work
HP Anywhere is utilized across public cloud, private cloud, hybrid cloud, and on-premises environments. AWS is the cloud provider I see HP Anywhere deployed with most often, although I have also seen it a bit with Azure, but not at all with Google Cloud. Regarding improvements, I appreciate that the AI focuses on bandwidth optimization and security anomalies, and it offers valuable information on pixel streaming for smoother remote access. For those considering HP Anywhere, I advise recognizing that the product is at end of life, with no future developments, and if you are looking for VDIs, alternatives such as Citrix or Nvidia may be better. If you already have HP Anywhere, be aware it has been officially discontinued. HP Anywhere is a wonderful remote desktop solution, but HP has chosen not to enhance it further. If you possess it, it remains a good tool, but it is important to acknowledge that it is at end of life with no future development planned, meaning customers will need to eventually transition to other remote desktop environments. I give this product a rating of eight out of ten.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Chef SaaS has positively impacted my organization by saving more time; we do not need to control Chef control node and we can apply the required changes for VMs quickly, which is a big advantage for our organization."
"Chef SaaS is stable and we have never faced any issues with it, as it is quite reliable and, since it is mature and established, it is capable enough to manage large infrastructures."
"HP Anywhere has positively impacted my organization by providing global support and compatibility with any cloud provider, including AWS, Azure, Google, and private clouds, enhancing hybrid workforces and allowing employees to work anywhere."
 

Cons

"An area of improvement is that if you compare Chef SaaS to Ansible, Ansible is much faster and the process is easier and faster, but Chef SaaS is more complicated."
"HP Anywhere is at the end of life, with no new features or support being added, and it seems like HP is not prioritizing its development anymore in the growing remote work market."
