About

Cycloid is an internal developer portal and platform that platform teams customise instead of building from scratch. Branding, sidebar navigation, team and persona pages, resource tabs and concept names all adapt to the organisation. Platform teams set the guardrails once, with SSO, four-layer authorisation, predefined environment types, naming rules, approvals and one audit log. Published Blueprints on Terraform, OpenTofu, Ansible and Helm become golden paths, and developers can also compose their own environments inside the same rules. Developers deploy, run day-2 actions and promote infrastructure and application changes between environments from one portal. The software catalog tracks ownership, relations and DORA metrics, and scorecards rate services. Plugins connect GitHub, GitLab and the major clouds, and jobs run on the Native Runner or existing CI. AI assistants work inside the same checks. Deployment options are SaaS, self-hosted or air-gapped.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Cortex brings multiple tasks and workflows into one place, which makes it easier to stay organized and manage responsibilities efficiently. The reminder and notification system is especially useful for keeping track of deadlines and ensuring nothing slips through the cracks. It has improved visibility across tasks and collaboration within our IT workflows.
  • Very feature rich, no major gaps in functionality. Easy to find what you're looking for after an initial learning curve.
  • The greatest strength of Cortex is its remarkable ease of use and the speed at which you can gain visibility into your microservices. The UI is clean, and the onboarding process is straightforward, allowing our team to catalog services and track maturity scores without a steep learning curve. It has significantly improved our ability to maintain production standards across the engineering org.
  • I've had a great experience with Cortex! The platform is intuitive, reliable and has noticeably improved our workflow efficiency. The team's attention to detail and responsiveness really stand out. Keep up the excellent work
  • Cortex provided a rich variety of features and continuously innovating to enrich the product further. Amazing team delivering outcomes for businesses

Cons

  • The interface can feel overwhelming at times, especially for new users. There are many features and options, which makes navigation slightly confusing and requires time to get fully comfortable with the platform.
  • UI can sometimes feel a bit cluttered due to so many features being available. Entity searches don't seem well indexed and can take a while, especially at a large company with many entities and services.
  • The primary area for improvement is the API explorer. Currently, it feels a bit clunky and could be much more intuitive. I would love to see a more robust, "Swagger-style" interactive experience that makes discovering and testing endpoints more seamless for our developers.
  • I don't have any feedback that is negative. Feedback to the feedback form - the character limit is tedious.
  • Cortex is moving fast to enrich the experience overall that can lead to feature not being fully matured.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • * The tool is easily customisable to adapt to different stack requirement. * Lots of available templates to start from. * Whenever there is breaking changes due to library upgrade or terraform new releases, the team contact us beforehand to ensure we are ready and where required, they give patches.
  • Cycloid has started its entry into this field at Orange Cloud for Business with support and coaching on our DEVOPS methodologies. Far from imposing themselves, they were able to guide us and offer us suitable solutions. We chose them to deploy some of our customers and their speed of development and expertise enabled us to meet our operational constraints. Some developments requested specifically for our company were delivered on time and in compliance with the specifications.
  • The support is really useful. It is exactly what we wanted in terms of functionality. It wasn't really easy at first but the support really helped us to understand quickly how it works.

Cons

  • There is no cons i can think of with the product or the team.
  • Cycloid is a rapidly expanding company. They still have some way to go to make their product fully multi-cloud. They are on the right track and I encourage them to keep it up.
  • The step-by-step installation documentation for on-site configuration is not perfect but I'm sure they will update it as I pointed out what was not clear.
