User Reviews & Rating Comparison

User Ratings	4.3 (based on 268 reviews)

Pros and Cons	Reviewers value managing infrastructure as code with reusable YAML or JSON templates. It rapidly provisions, duplicates, and rolls back cloud resources, saving time on repetitive tasks. Templates enable consistent, repeatable infrastructure across multiple environments and accounts. It only works within AWS, so the same code can't be reused on other cloud providers. The designer tool is seen as complicated to use.
