Compare Cycloid to Cloudify

Fuel your DevX, DevOps & Hybrid Cloud with integrated platform modules around governance, cloud management and FinOps.

The Cloudify platform provides infrastructure automation using Environment-as-a-Service technology to deploy and continuously manage any cloud, private data center, or Kubernetes service from one central point, while enabling developers to self-service their environments.

In contrast to Cloudify which comes from the traditional world of Cloud management platforms, Cycloid’s background is in Hybrid Cloud, DevOps and DevX. Our approach is the end-to-end integrated ecosystem, already complete with modules around Governance, simple easy-to-use self-service portal and a complete set of FinOps and GreenOps modules.

Cycloid’s integrated approach

Cycloid platform engineering improves the developer experience by allowing anyone to use tools, cloud and automation without the need to become an expert in every field. It also improves operational efficiency by decreasing the number of tickets opened by end-users. Cycloid facilitates the change management & democratizes hybrid cloud & DevOps at scale by allowing you to create your own opinionated platform to define the governance and the level of flexibility wanted. It’s based on your Git, and is tools and cloud provider-agnostic.

Why Cycloid?

While both strive to solve the same challenges, Cycloid offers a stronger UX/UI, a better developer experience, a more flexible and integrated orchestration and a more product-oriented approach based on Open Source. We also provide a more competitive pricing model which is based on user/month, instead of environment, allowing you to scale easily.
