Automation has transformed reconciliation accuracy and now cuts manual effort across operations
Turbot's best feature is its ease of use and simple installation process, as it is a no-code, low-code platform. It is well integrated with all libraries that can be used directly with drag and drop feature availability, including Excel automation, Outlook automation, reading and writing emails, and automating web portals with the Universal Recorder feature, which records all applications using one single recorder whether it is a desktop application, web application, or mainframe application. The Universal Recorder has positively impacted my daily work and my team's productivity because we do not have to rely on any other recorder and have consistency of the XPath and web element capturing. It automatically captures depending on the target application. Users do not have to do anything else; they just have to start the recorder, click on the actions, and things will get recorded easily. Another feature of Turbot is the low-code Cockpit web application, which provides a real pictorial view of all the bots on the dashboards, showing what is running, what is in progress, what is paused or failed. It has a continuous notification system in case of failures and successful bot executions, and includes a user management feature with role-based access control. Since integrating with Turbot, our organization has benefited by reducing the FTE percentage from 5% of the manual team using it. We have cut down almost 20 FTE resources, which has saved our costs, and the integration of automation with Turbot has served significantly in the cost optimization part. These cost savings and resource reductions were seen within a year of implementing Turbot. The specific process that benefited the most was related to retail operations of reconciliation of the manual books. Turbot integrates well with all other applications such as Excel, Outlook, the S3 bucket of AWS, and other API applications, which can be easily integrated with the help of REST API and SOAP components directly available. It also has a rich feature for developing custom libraries and components which are easily accessible through the toolbox of the application. Turbot has rich documentation with user guides that can be directly followed, and there are YouTube videos now published on Turbot application on how to get started and how to begin with one single RPA bot to convert manual tasks into automation.

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.

Pros

"The predefined policy library is probably the biggest time-saver for us."
"Since integrating with Turbot, our organization has benefited by reducing the FTE percentage from 5% of the manual team using it, we have cut down almost 20 FTE resources, which has saved our costs, and the integration of automation with Turbot has served significantly in the cost optimization part."
"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."
"Before choosing Upbound Crossplane, I evaluated various options, but I only found Upbound Crossplane to be the best choice."
"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."
"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."
"Upbound Crossplane has positively impacted our organization by reducing the pipeline time, saving time, and decreasing cost spending."
"We went from having a 28-member troubleshooting team down to four to five members of the platform engineering team."
"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."
 

Cons

"I think ease of use is the main area that needs improvement."
"The support system of Turbot needs more improvement in terms of raising SLA tickets and maintaining the TAT should get a little more refined, but not in respect to features, as rest of all things are good."
"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."
"Regarding Upbound Crossplane's capabilities, I feel the governance and security is something which is lacking."
"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."
"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."
"One area where Upbound Crossplane can be improved is with API rate limiting."
"Upbound Crossplane was not stable in my experience."
"Upbound Crossplane can be improved if they can add more AI agentic workflows."
