Used across my organization and has helped our devops process to move to the next level
What do you like best about the product?
Ease of learning, ease of deployment, support and a well defined robust process of CAT (cloud access template) management and custom actions for each deployment. Custom actions are a heart of any deployment and give the ease to run specific operations on any server on cloud. These can be as simple as stopping a server to as complex as changing a configuration on a server and then restarting it.
What do you dislike about the product?
The speed at which the CMP triggers a custom action is slower than if we were to use the underlying commands. FOr example if we use a google cloud command to create a server it is faster than a cat with a custom action to do so. This limits the seed at which deployments can be made on cloud.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
moving the product to cloud platform and the ease of releasing versions of the product. Any blue-green rollover or a clean deployment is much easier as we have a form like page for support engineers instead of complex set of commands for performing actions. A runbook can be easily created to provide instructions on what needs to be done in any scenario for support engineers to work on.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Ease of training material and ready made snippets of code to help developers work. This helps lessen the learning curve and debugging the application. Writing custom actions is difficult if help is not available for new teams. Also look for solutions which have a good support team. This will help when the team is stuck with a scenario where their may be a requireemnt for code review of expert advise.

Our entire product is deployed using the platform.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you're using Amazon or Microsoft this product is awesome. Their support for Google is OK, but clearly not their focus.
feedback about flexera
What do you like best about the product?
Used its good UI as a cloud management platform to interact with any AWS or Google Cloud.
What do you dislike about the product?
Less Documentation available so difficult to explore given APIs. There should be some forums where developers and share their challenges and best practices.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Using this we are able to migrate our datacenter to cloud easily.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
There are various CMP available but the options and functionality given by flexera is much convenient to use.
Best fit for our organisation
What do you like best about the product?
We could get the things we needed. CMP is 1-2 years ahead of other partners we reviewed in the functionality we required.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is a lot of functionality, so it can be hard to find what I need.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Cost overview for each project with an individual overview.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Review what is available in the market. You might be looking for something different. The platforms provided offer many different services, not all are the same. CMP was the best fit fo my organisation.
Rightscale as a CMP has lost focus

Micro service movement to cloud
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Good tool for migration to Cloud. Flexara has lost focus in 2019, they were doing great earlier
Multiple Clouds in one place
What do you like best about the product?
We first started using the RightScale platform at a time when AWS only had an API and didn't have an administrative console. From the beginning RightScale made it possible to minimize the number of server images we needed by making it easy to create server templates that would take a common base image and configure it after boot. It also makes it easy to remote command things to run on multiple servers at once.
What do you dislike about the product?
Now that every cloud platform has a robust console up, the original benefit of having a web based console for managing servers instead of relying purely on an API has dwindled considerably. Most things I would have previously relied on CMP for can now be done with a few clicks in the individual cloud. As such the Cost to Value ratio on CMP has changed considerably since we joined. What was once a must-have feature is now a commodity.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We still use CMP to manage our instances on AWS. We use the array functionality to make easy arrays of servers behind ELBs and NLBs, and still use server templates and rightscripts to manage our instances easily. Being able to use a relative few number of server templates and have near infinite flexibility in what the servers do on launch is a great plus that is hard to manage with APIs or the individual platform's management consoles alone.
