Cloud Foundry Reviews & Product Details

CloudFoundry is easy to learn and use; the learning curve was minimal, and I was able to host and run applications within minutes. Hosting microservices and simple websites is a breeze, and the supported technologies in containers are reasonably broad. Scale your implementation with a few clicks, manage environment variables outside of the code, and do blue-green deployments to minimize (or even eliminate) downtime on application deployments.

Troubleshooting larger application deployments is sometimes tricky if you rely on console logs for application logging; I would recommend piping logs to a secondary log source for parsing when operating at an enterprise scale. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Seamless deployment of application on the cloudfoundry and its available in next seconds.

Its blue green deployment works seamlessly in context of continuous deployment (CI/CD). Its provided different integration connector helps developer to integrate quickly with other systems e.g: Jenkins via webhook.

Its platform as a service is also makes developer life easier to quick setup of account and deploy application instead of managing underlying setup. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Its provided Buildpacks does not supports every technologies such as JAVA EE (Jakarta EE) instead of that developer must have to create its own buildpack or just utlize plain JAVA to create webservices which is difficult to modernize the application code. There should be atleast an view for underline system operations for monitoring or evaluation of performance which is totally missing at the time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Cloud Foundry works very well both in a hosted or local solution and in multiple environments. We can integrate backup services through BOSH and the way developers can interact with their own deployment CF CLI. Cloud Foundry offers a wide range of application services, offers a variety of clouds. Cloud Foundry is well integrated into the SAP cloud platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The application problem diagnostic tools need some improvements. Debugging, console, ssh, etc. 2 Limited training available to learn how to install and configure large-scale open-source cloud foundry Limited training available to learn to install and configure large-scale open-source cloud foundry Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Cloud foundry is easy to use and has lot of documentations in internet to refer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Cloud foundry has very less market place services. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really like the fact that as a developer I don't need to be concerned with server procurement, configuration, nor maintenance. The engineers in our cloud team empower developers by streamlining our deployments on our schedules. With Cloud Foundry, I simply focus on creating application and I'm not bogged down in worrying about infrastructure. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The documentation isn't as clear or comprehensive as I'd like it to be. I know this is always a challenge and on the more popular build paths, it's better. Also, I wish there was a larger community/user base. I recently had an issue with a less popular buildpack - at least in our organization. I found the information I needed eventually, but what was on the Cloud Foundry website could have been clearer. Had there been more examples in this particular case, or had someone else posted something on the net about what I was trying to do, I would have been able to get up and running faster.

Cloud Foundry is well integrated in SAP Cloud Platform Cockpit Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Cloud Foundry, even if well integrated in SAP Cloud Platform, is not so easy to use it Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Simplicity - quite easy to get started with for web applications

Flexibility - Fits extremely well into an agile software dev process of frequent releases. Deployments can be easily automated with CI/CD systems. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

No free options like Heroku for tinkering around.

Setting up CF as an operator is not trivial Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Cloud Foundry is a true PaaS. I consider a true PaaS as a platform that allows for full management of an application as opposed to some VM pattern provisioning solutions. An application in CF can be deleted, renamed, updated, rerouted, etc.

I also like the IaaS agnostic ness of CF. We have deployments using vSphere for our in house data center as well as AWS and will probably have a deployment in Azure in the future. It is great when you have a platform that can move with the needs of an organization.

Cloud Foundry is open source. Allowing for more extensibility options when necessary and very important for debugging. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Docker support is taking a long time to develop.

Request Routing and Layer 4 Routing could use some work though those features are coming and improving.

Application problem diagnostic tools need some improvement (Debugging, console, ssh, etc). The platform has good logging but not much beyond that. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Automation capabilities

zero downtime deployments

configuration capabilities together with spring cloud

less system maintainance

Scalability support Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Hard to achieve reproducible builds (will change in future versions is cf)

Deep understanding of cf in case of emergency

Cloud Foundry offers a broad range of application services provides a choice of clouds. It has been adopted by some of the thought leaders across the world. With its broad vision and fast development, it can be a great platform by choice to the newer companies who want to migrate to cloud. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Cloud Foundry should improve upon the following:

1. Make it more friendly to business users. Currently it is very focused on engineers and some business person looking for a flexible cloud solution may find it tough to understand the deep technical jargon that the website carries.

2. Do more marketing, so that it becomes popular. Very few followers and limited awareness in the field might hurt Cloud Foundry in the long run. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
