I use Pulumi Enterprise to manage infrastructure, specifically cloud-based infrastructure. I manage infrastructure, SSO and security, create infrastructure and secure it, manage identity and access, and manage configuration in cloud or multi-cloud environments.
Managing multi‑cloud infrastructure has become efficient while documentation and community still improve
What is our primary use case?
What is most valuable?
The best features of Pulumi Enterprise include state management, which involves tracking and keeping track of the infrastructure. State management helps my workflow and solves problems for me by ensuring my infrastructure data is in sync.
Pulumi Enterprise increases efficiency and reliability by providing seamless automation processes and tools while considering security and making secure infrastructure easy. Pulumi Enterprise has positively impacted my organization by making automation seamless and efficient.
For efficiency, it helps in managing multiple infrastructures because once I write my code, I can reuse it for different projects.
What needs improvement?
Pulumi Enterprise could accept more automation, such as creating workflows or frameworks for platforms like YouTube and Spotify. Additionally, it should allow for creating resources on the cloud console with less friction.
I would like the documentation feature to enable me to download the documents of my infrastructure from Pulumi Enterprise once it is written. I do not want to have to rewrite documentation after coding; once my infrastructure is written with Pulumi Enterprise, I should be able to get the documentation seamlessly.
There should be more investment in building a stronger community around Pulumi Enterprise, as the Pulumi Enterprise community is not that strong compared to its capabilities.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using Pulumi Enterprise for two years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
Pulumi Enterprise is stable. However, there are still many improvements that can be made.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
Pulumi Enterprise's scalability scales easily and efficiently, thanks to its modularity and the options it provides, along with the opportunity to reuse code for different projects.
How are customer service and support?
Customer support is present, and so far, I have not had any cause for alarm. My experience has been fair.
On a scale of one to ten, I rate customer support a three because I have not needed to consult them much at all.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
My fundamental experience in infrastructure as code is with Terraform. However, after joining this new company where they have been using Pulumi Enterprise, I continued using Pulumi Enterprise with them and see no need to switch the entire organization's infrastructure to Terraform.
What was our ROI?
Pulumi Enterprise saves time when creating infrastructure, as once I create it once, I can reuse what I have written before. It saves time and also reduces the need for more hires in terms of manpower.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
My experience with pricing, setup costs, and licensing is that it is fair; there is not much stress regarding that, but I still believe improvements can be made.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
What other advice do I have?
Regarding integrations with other tools, I use Pulumi Enterprise for multi-cloud environments, including AWS, Azure, GCP, and others.
I purchased Pulumi Enterprise through the AWS marketplace.
My advice for others looking into using Pulumi Enterprise is that the onboarding process from other solutions like Terraform is seamless and not stressful, as it is basically the same. Additionally, the opportunity it gives to write infrastructure in any programming language is significant.
I rate this product a seven point five out of ten.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
Hybrid Cloud
