Automated hardening has standardized our servers and reduces effort for secure Windows workloads
The first-boot time is longer than a stock Windows AMI. Sysprep and the initial hardening pass add a noticeable delay before the instance is reachable, which is something to account for if you autoscale and need nodes ready quickly. The hardened defaults also occasionally trip up common installers and agents. A few of our deployment and monitoring tools assumed services or policies that the image had locked down, so we had to add exceptions. A short compatibility checklist of what the hardening changes from a default Windows install would have saved us that debugging. I would also like the option of a CIS Level 2 build for our more sensitive workloads since the image currently only ships a Level 1 baseline. Thanks.

Centralized client projects have improved collaboration but task handling still needs refinement
One of the most frustrating things about Rocketlane is that for new tasks not part of the template, if they are not assigned a duration, moving the date range of a phase does not automatically move those tasks. I also wish Rocketlane Sheets allowed for expanding the width and height of rows in the same way as Google Sheets or Microsoft Sheets. Rocketlane has a fairly decent AI product, but the issues I have with it are more about the way my organization builds the prompts. It could be vastly improved, and I would love it if a Rocketlane product manager reached out to my leadership to help improve those prompts.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Windows Server 2025 is a strong fit for enterprise environments heavily reliant on Microsoft technologies."
"Because the image arrives CIS Level 1 hardened with the AWS tooling already in place, our servers come up patched, locked down, and ready to join the domain without a separate build out pass."
"The customer support at Rocketlane is amazing, and I would rate the customer support a ten or even an eleven, as it is the best of any product I have ever used."
"Rocketlane has positively impacted my organization by allowing our onboarding managers to view themselves as project management experts."
"The implementation of Rocketlane has significantly reduced project deadlines, allowing us to deliver projects on time and even ahead of schedule."
 

Cons

"The hardened defaults also occasionally trip up common installers and agents: a few of our deployment and monitoring tools assumed services or policies that the image had locked down, so we had to add exceptions."
"Initial configuration complexity can still be high for teams without prior Windows Server expertise."
"One thing that my team is looking for right now is the ability to integrate other communication systems such as Zendesk with Rocketlane."
"One of the most frustrating things about Rocketlane is that for new tasks not part of the template, if they are not assigned a duration, moving the date range of a phase does not automatically move those tasks."
