What do you like best about Progress Chef?

The powerful recipes system, version control and distributed capabilities. Chef allowed us to automate most, if not all the automated provisioning and change management systems in the underlying servers of our PaaS offering through Ruby scripting, shell scripting and Powershell scripting. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Progress Chef?

Ruby scripting. Ruby is a language that, in my opinion, is declining in relation to more straightforward ones like Python. Chef relies a lot in Ruby, which, in a company like ours, is a skill that is hard to find, and there are some features that are only found in external gems which have not been maintained for a while now.

Unfortunately the document is sparse and you'll have to comb through the internet to find answers to some common use cases. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Progress Chef:

Be proficient in Ruby. Understand the concepts behind it and go for a subscription that will help you get up and running quickly. Unfortunately the document is sparse and you'll have to comb through the internet to find answers to some common use cases. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Progress Chef solving and how is that benefiting you?

Automation of the provisioning of our PaaS offering servers and change management (patch installation, platform upgrades, performance metering). Chef, as an open source solution backed by an Enterprise version, allowed us to start small and scale very quickly to around 600 servers now. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
