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.

Monitoring has improved latency analysis and now supports precise root cause detection
I believe New Relic Solutions [Private Offer Only] needs to work on AI anomaly detection and reduce false positive alerts through the context threshold. Regarding dependency visibility and root cause analysis, New Relic Solutions [Private Offer Only] should be able to detect single points of failure and cascading failures instead of allowing users to perform tracing activity manually. This would be beneficial because maximum time goes into manual tracing activities. Additionally, New Relic Solutions [Private Offer Only] should help us identify if there are thread pools and connection pools in performance optimization, as pool data visibility enables us to determine whether we need to increase the pool size or connection size.
