Our most significant issue is keeping up as the product evolves. We are still using Berkshelf and are struggling to find the time to learn about policy files to facilitate the transition away from Berkshelf. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

In my experience, Progress Chef has several strengths that make it a compelling choice for organizations looking to streamline their infrastructure management.

Firstly, Chef's declarative language makes it easy to define and manage the desired state of infrastructure components. By defining "recipes" and "cookbooks" that describe the desired configuration of each resource, Chef ensures that the infrastructure remains consistent and predictable across environments.

Another strength of Chef is its flexibility and extensibility. Chef has a large community of users and contributors who have created a wide range of plugins, integrations, and cookbooks that can be used to automate everyday tasks and integrate with other tools. This makes Progress Chef easy to customize Chef to suit an organisation's specific needs, whether a small startup or a large enterprise. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

However, like any tool, Progress Chef also has some potential drawbacks. For example, it can have a steep learning curve, especially for those new to infrastructure automation or programming. Additionally, Chef's complexity and flexibility can sometimes make troubleshooting problems or maintaining large codebases difficult. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
