Centralized cloud views have improved visibility and simplify tracking of connected resources
I think the dashboard could be a little more user-friendly, especially for people who are using the platform for the first time. Sometimes, finding specific information in a large cloud setup can take extra time. It would also be good to have more customization options for dashboards and reports. In the next release, I would like to see better cost alerts, more detailed usage reports, and easier ways to identify unused resources. These improvements would make Hyperglance more convenient for daily use and help teams manage cloud resources more efficiently.

Automated infrastructure deployment has reduced our backend release time from days to hours
I found an issue with features that was difficult for me when we needed to retrieve some tags or IDs of a resource that we deployed using Upbound Crossplane, for example, the RDS. We encountered a problem where we needed to use the ID of the RDS in another document that we have, making it difficult to return this information using Upbound Crossplane deployment. I believe Upbound Crossplane could be improved by possibly having a feature that can return tags, IDs, or resources that were deployed inside AWS, such as needing to return the ID of the VPC that we create when using Upbound Crossplane. I think the current state of Upbound Crossplane is already good enough.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It significantly cut down our onboarding time for new client accounts, and it helped us catch idle resources that were running up client costs unnecessarily, making our FinOps reporting much more accurate."
"The visual diagrams are especially helpful when troubleshooting issues because I can quickly understand how different services are connected without checking each resource manually."
"The visual mapping of cloud resources is one of the most useful features for me because it makes the overall infrastructure easier to understand."
"Being able to see how everything connects and spot potential security issues or wasted spending can save time."
"The time required to complete an environment setup was reduced from about one or two weeks to forty to fifty minutes."
"Upbound Crossplane impacts my organization positively because, from our perspective, we need to rely on fewer resources."
"Before choosing Upbound Crossplane, I evaluated various options, but I only found Upbound Crossplane to be the best choice."
"When I provisioned PostgreSQL and S3 buckets through Crossplane, I noticed improvements in deployment speed, reliability, and team collaboration."
"Upbound Crossplane has positively impacted our organization by allowing us to reduce our deployment time from three days to three hours for the entire back-end and entire infrastructure."
"The best features Upbound Crossplane offers are infrastructure as Kubernetes APIs and self-service infrastructure, where developers can provision resources without cloud credentials, and its strong multi-cloud support that makes it useful in managing AWS, Azure, and GCP from a single control plane with valuable GitOps integration."
"This CD-type integration has facilitated my operations by unifying the way of working so that I can use the same guardrails for both deployments, which makes the way I deploy much simpler."
"Upbound Crossplane has positively impacted our organization by reducing the pipeline time, saving time, and decreasing cost spending."
 

Cons

"I would like to see more detailed filtering options for large AWS environments, especially when searching for specific EC2 instances, security groups, or network dependencies."
"It can be on the higher side for smaller teams, and it can sometimes overlap with existing tech stack, so be mindful of those things when evaluating budget."
"The UI can still feel a bit cluttered and sluggish when client accounts approach the resource limit, so better default filtering out of the box would help."
"I think the dashboard could be a little more user-friendly, especially for people who are using the platform for the first time."
"I found an issue with features that was difficult for me when we needed to retrieve some tags or IDs of a resource that we deployed using Upbound Crossplane, for example, the RDS."
"Upbound Crossplane can be improved if they can add more AI agentic workflows."
"The documentation needs to be updated regarding the needed improvements for Upbound Crossplane. There is very little documentation online, and there are no tutorials for Upbound Crossplane."
"In terms of how Upbound Crossplane could improve, the generation of providers that are not already covered via Terraform is acceptable, but it could be more user-friendly for people who may not have knowledge of how those custom providers are structured."
"This was the only thing that we took as a disadvantage at the time of implementing, since we did not have any way to see what the Upbound Crossplane composition or what the Upbound Crossplane resource will do to the actual infrastructure."
"Regarding Upbound Crossplane, I see room for enhancement in synchronizing the state file of Crossplane with Terraform, as 90% of organizations have generally implemented Terraform and have their own specific, environment-specific Terraform state files."
"Regarding Upbound Crossplane's capabilities, I feel the governance and security is something which is lacking."
"One area where Upbound Crossplane can be improved is with API rate limiting."
