Aaron Prashanth - PeerSpot reviewer
DevOps 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.

Unified master data has improved governance and supports flexible cloud and hybrid deployments
I would say it can be a little bit easier to do the configurations because there are a certain number of points where we have to configure the endpoints and the plugins, and what kind of config it would be using. If it would be a little bit similar to on-premises where we do not have to put 10,000 different small things at 10 different places, then it would be a great tool to use. When it comes to integration, there are a certain number of places where we have to put twice those configurations to run them. Sometimes these are being missed and that is not the first thing you check because it has been assumed that the developer has done it. At the end of the day, if we are not able to find it in the first 30 minutes, then we always go into those areas, the plugins where it has to run, the environment variables and everything. Once that is sorted, then we do something else. The first 30 minutes is always spent going into the mapping if it is not running or anything. Then we go to environment variables. That is a little bit an overhead on the developer side. However, other than that, it is a good tool. It would be much easier if few environment variables are straightforward so that once configured, we do not have to configure them for every integration workflow. They should be global environment variables where we can put those tokens into them, config files into them, and that can be utilized by every single workflow which we create.

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."
"The deployment of Informatica Intelligent Data Management Cloud [Private Offer Only] is super easy."
"Informatica Intelligent Data Management Cloud [Private Offer Only] has AI and machine learning capabilities in a multi-tenant environment."
 

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."
"Technical support for IDMC is good, but it takes a longer time for a resolution, and the process goes in a circle multiple times for simple problems."
"It is a pricey one. I dealt with it in my earlier time, not recently. The SaaS is a lot pricey."
