Senior Technical Project Manager at NiCE
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.
Diego Paradeda - PeerSpot reviewer
Senior Software Engineer at Philips
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.

"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."
"The implementation of Rocketlane has significantly reduced project deadlines, allowing us to deliver projects on time and even ahead of schedule."
"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."
"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."
"Upbound Crossplane has impacted our organization positively as it has been a transformative experience because the main thing about transformation is how we were able to make our lives easier as engineers."
"Upbound Crossplane has positively impacted our organization by reducing the pipeline time, saving time, and decreasing cost spending."
"The time required to complete an environment setup was reduced from about one or two weeks to forty to fifty minutes."
"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."

Cons

"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."
"One thing that my team is looking for right now is the ability to integrate other communication systems such as Zendesk with Rocketlane."
"However, one area of improvement is the learning curve, as Upbound Crossplane concepts such as providers, compositions, and claims can be difficult for beginners."
"Upbound Crossplane can be improved if they can add more AI agentic workflows."
"Regarding Upbound Crossplane's capabilities, I feel the governance and security is something which is lacking."
"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."
"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."
"One area where Upbound Crossplane can be improved is with API rate limiting."
"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 was not stable in my experience."
