Head of AI at a consultancy with 1,001-5,000 employees
Has accelerated AI solution development through automated evaluation and fine-tuning
Prem Studio allowed me to easily automate and solve the complicated problem of exploring and identifying the best AI architecture for our problems. Prem Studio has a straightforward yet powerful approach to evaluate disparate AI architectures on our business problems and to accurately fine-tune the most promising ones. This significantly reduced time-to-market, almost by a factor of ten in my case, for solutions tailored and optimized for customer requirements and KPIs.
G Srivastava - PeerSpot reviewer
Senior Cloud Engineer at a tech services company with 201-500 employees
Automation of cloud infrastructure has transformed how our team manages Terraform workflows
Spacelift has other features beyond Terraform, including Ansible, Pulumi, Terragrunt, and it also helps with Kubernetes, although we haven't used it for the other tools. We have only used it for Terraform Infrastructure as Code, and it has helped us significantly. One standout feature compared to Terraform Cloud is the ability to apply policies. For example, we want to restrict engineers in our team from building servers with a particular SKU, such as in Azure, where we do not want to run servers with a SKU higher than the standard D4sv5. We can apply those policies in Spacelift, and the RBAC and access policies features are really excellent in Spacelift, which we do not find in any of the other competitor tools. The pricing is also competitive compared to Terraform Cloud. The access policy features allow us to assign specific policies since we have three environments in our company: Dev, QA, and Prod. We assign policies so that anyone can run code from Dev and QA servers, but we assign a policy for specific people, such as managers, to run code in Prod. This is a very good feature from Spacelift that we have implemented for the access policy. Spacelift has positively impacted our organization as a CI/CD tool for application deployment and development. Although we use other CI/CD tools like Azure DevOps and GitHub Actions, there wasn't a specific tool for Terraform Infrastructure as Code until Spacelift came along. It allows us to easily configure our servers and build a number of them on our cloud. While other CI/CD tools have started to include configuration features, Spacelift offers many other benefits that make it an excellent tool to use.

Pros

"Prem Studio allowed me to easily automate and solve the complicated problem of exploring and identifying the best AI architecture for our problems."
"The dataset management feature and the managed finetuning are the most valuable because they save the most time."
"The metrics show that fewer employees are needed, money is saved based on past experiences with different cloud management or Infrastructure as Code management tools, and efficiency has improved significantly in terms of Infrastructure as Code deployment."
"Spacelift has positively impacted our organization because we do not have to detect drift or manage Terraform basics ourselves; Spacelift handles this for us with strong governance and security policies based on GitOps principles, which saves considerable time."
"If you're looking to automate your Infrastructure as Code, then Spacelift is the best choice."
"Spacelift has positively impacted my organization by making it very easy to manage the different modules with a very clear interface."
"SpaceLift has positively impacted my organization by reducing a lot of confusion with the integration of Terraform modules, because a lot of our tooling involved direct and indirect Terraform module creations; now it is more streamlined for each and every resource that we control."
"I appreciate that I just have to connect to my AWS account with my credentials, and Spacelift handles the rest."
"Spacelift has positively impacted my organization by reducing manpower, as it reduced the efforts of resources in the team, where previously a job done by two or three engineers can now be easily managed by one engineer using Spacelift."
"Spacelift is like an extension of Terraform, where everything can be visibly managed."
 

Cons

"The inference should be faster."
"Spacelift currently lacks features that can help with complex type deployments and coordination for major deployments."
"Spacelift is good overall, but there are little explanatory aspects, such as navigating particular stacks, that are somewhat difficult to understand for newcomers, especially regarding the process, stack setup, and variable setup for deployments."
"In the free version, there's no straightforward way to be notified once a deployment is finished."
"If I had to think of one area where Spacelift could improve, it would be the graph where we orchestrate, as the graph looks very complicated and complex, so perhaps it could be simplified."
"Perhaps the learning curve could be a bit steep if someone is completely new to Spacelift and only has experience with plain Terraform."
"The learning curve for new users getting started with Spacelift is very steep."
"I specifically wish to see improvements in Spacelift's user interface, making it more useful and easier for the team to understand."
"If you are a small enterprise organization, below 500 people, I would not recommend it."

My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing was that licensing was somewhat unclear when HashiCorp changed their own licensing.
