Pros & Cons from Real Users Pros We use Pliant almost exclusively to provision bare metal. we deploy and operate infrastructure for a number of carrier accounts on a global scale and use Pliant to do the repeatable work. I like that they offer a free version of the product so i could just try it out. I wanted to play with an automation tool that wasn't just for kids. I didn't want to pay or pay much. The API gateway they have makes this tool so much more valuable than some of the other solutions out there. We found pliant in the marketplace to automate some network config and now i'm using it build and package my own APIs. Pliant has a ton of APIs available to use immediately. We were able to integrate our software system into more than 5 external APIs within the first 24 hours and we have not gone back because of how scalable the product is with our needs. Pliant provided numerous integrations making Pliant a very easy tool to use for any company or organization. Cons This is more us than them, but because they're earlier in their maturity they weren't an approved vendor in our system so we had to look at incumbents first. I'd really like to be able to add credits to get a little more functionality, but overall it's good and surprisingly capable for building automations -- they have tons of integrations. Their free version has these guides that really help with onboarding, but when we upgraded to their starter edition they went away. Would really like to have them as an option. Currently, we do not have really any cons associated with their product. I do wish there were more options for templates available but their support team has been amazing in helping to build those out for us because once there is a template it can be used over and over again. Pliant needs better integration with Angular or React to allow custom user portals for better optimization of the user experience.
