Visual planning has transformed how our teams document aws architecture and estimate costs
The best features Cloudcraft offers include visual AWS architecture, the ability to create professional AWS diagrams quickly, significant time savings during solution design, cost estimation, and having estimated infrastructure costs directly within the architecture diagram. Cloudcraft also makes collaboration easier as architecture diagrams can be shared across infrastructure teams. AWS best practice visualization is there, encouraging better architecture design by making it easy to visualize high availability, multi-AZ deployment, public versus private subnets, and security layers. Creating architecture documentation that previously required several hours can now be completed much more quickly. Architecture design and documentation have had the biggest impact on my team. These are part of our day-to-day work that were time-consuming previously, and now they are easy to accomplish.

Centralized networking has secured multi-cloud data pipelines and improves analytics reliability
VNS3 could improve in terms of ease of setup, as while it is powerful, initial configuration for complex multi-cloud topologies can still feel quite technical and requires strong networking knowledge. Another potential improvement would be to tighten native integration with modern data stack tools; Airflow, dbt, and cloud data warehouses can benefit from more out-of-the-box connectivity templates. Additionally, the user interface and observability experience could be more modern and intuitive, especially for quickly diagnosing network flows without diving deep into logs. A pain point regarding needed improvements is that troubleshooting can still feel quite network engineering heavy. For data teams in my organization, we often want more pipeline-level visibility, such as directly seeing which ETL jobs or data flows are impacted when a tunnel or route changes. I would also appreciate more automation around policy setup, such as having auto-generated secure network templates for common data architectures such as AWS to Snowflake or on-premises to BigQuery, which would significantly reduce setup time.
