Best feature about this is Advanced threat protection it provides. I personally like this feature. Furthermore, it provides great collaboration with different cloud providers like Azure, AWS and more. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
From Infrastructure as Code (IaC) point of view, its not the best. Because it has some issues with it. From my POV, the cost is also bit more from the market's tools. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
