The Chef community definitely has some growing to do. Progress Chef has been making an effort to listen to community members and they need to continue their journey of building up the community to what it once was. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Continued enforcement. Knowing that my nodes are checking in regularly so that I can pin point when something unexpected occurs is huge. The automate dashboard gives me visibility at a glance to track down anomolies. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
