Featured Reviews

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.
Gabriel Carrejo - PeerSpot reviewer
Senior Director, Customer Advocacy at Automation Anywhere
Intent data has sharpened our campaigns and reviews have built trusted customer advocacy
There are probably a few things that would be helpful. Currently, the dashboards are useful and good, but there is room for improvement, especially with the ability to process data using AI. That integration is happening and I cannot wait to see what we are able to do next to really take our program to the next level. It is probably an opportunity to make it easier to convert the data into marketing assets, whether that is the peer papers or the quote cards or the leader badges. Those all exist now, but there is probably a way to make it more dynamic and easier to obtain and tie that to the data, the intent data.

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."
"PeerSpot has helped us to build reviews from our customers and then use those reviews on pieces of content and social media."
"PeerSpot has positively impacted my organization by bringing in more customer validation in our marketing narratives, which is great because it makes it not just marketers and salespeople telling the story, but customer words, which is really important and resonates well in the market."
"We have seen a great return on investment with PeerSpot, as we are able to provide a lot of value-added information to potential new customers, giving us a leg up and authority within our space."
"As a result of using PeerSpot, I have seen specific outcomes such as more qualified MQLs and more qualified leads, and I would love to continue to explore how we can improve what we are doing now in the future."
"We have absolutely seen a return on investment, recalling a former employer where PeerSpot intent leads were the highest performing leads we had in our arsenal."
"I say to those looking to create awareness for their products and services, PeerSpot is a must-have in their arsenal."
"PeerSpot's detailed customer reviews offer my team distinct insights compared to information gleaned from star ratings, badges, or condensed review formats, as the longer reviews provide more opportunities for our customers to leave more detailed feedback and reviews of our products and services."
"PeerSpot has positively impacted my organization, and I believe it has influenced our product strategy, our product development efforts and resources."
 

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."
"Currently, the dashboards are useful and good, but there is room for improvement, especially with the ability to process data using AI."
"I would focus a bit on the vendor dashboard to make it more intuitive."
"PeerSpot can be improved in that the leads or the intent leads that we have received do not really fit our customer ICP very well, so we have not gotten a lot of value from those."
"PeerSpot can be improved with better AI."
"I would like to see multiple options to create links to track campaign success across multiple marketing opportunities."
"Because we're still fairly new to PeerSpot or I am new to owning the PeerSpot program, we have not seen quantifiable ROI yet, but that is definitely something that we're looking into for the future."
"I wish we would dive a little deeper into the lead generation portion and how we can collaborate with our sales teams to improve that experience and reach out to those individuals a little sooner."
"Despite having generated a lot of reviews, it has been hard to change our ranking or positioning."
