Cycloid vs. Quali

Compare the two platforms 

Quali provides enterprise software for Cloud and DevOps automation. With its flagship CloudShell platform and blueprint-based approach, Quali gives developers, QA, and IT operations self-service access to on-demand application and infrastructure environments across private, public, and hybrid-cloud deployments offering a self-service platform for hybrid Infrastructure orchestration and automation.

Cycloid’s full-scale offer

In contrast to Quali which comes from the traditional world of Cloud management platforms addressing Ops needs, Cycloid is focused on the developer experience in a Cloud, DevOps, GitOps and Open-Source approach. We provide an end-to-end platform ecosystem already integrated with modules around Governance, an easy-to-use self-service portal and forms, more features on improving operations and a complete set of FinOps and GreenOps modules.

Cycloid sustainable platform engineering promotes efficient infrastructure & software delivery, alongside FinOps & Green IT practices in one platform. It improves the developer experience by allowing anyone to use tools, cloud and automation without having to become an expert. It also improves operational efficiency by decreasing the number of tickets opened by end-users.

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 not based per deployment but per user. This helps companies to scale freely and democratize hybrid-cloud and DevOps adoption for everyone in your organization.
