I am not sure what to think of them, most things they make have bigger more popular open-source alternatives.

I use their free offerings a lot, especially when there is need to share / collaborate with others. When you need people who work on different cloud infrastructures, it's refreshing to be able to redirect everyone to Frama equivalents.
