Is Hava.io a Cloudeval replacement?

Not for every workflow. Hava is stronger for continuously synced multi-cloud diagrams and history; Cloudeval is stronger for Azure IaC review before deployment.

Yes. Use Hava for the deployed estate and Cloudeval for the proposed change before it reaches that estate.

Does Cloudeval support live AWS?

No. AWS support is limited to static CloudFormation beta; there is no live AWS connection.

Comparison

Hava.io alternative for reviewing Azure changes before deployment

Hava continuously syncs cloud diagrams and version history. Cloudeval is an alternative when the team needs to know whether an Azure change is safe to ship before deployment, with findings and evidence in the pull request. The tools can complement each other.

Verdict for Azure pre-deployment review

Choose Cloudeval when you need to know whether an Azure change is safe to ship before deployment: it reviews ARM JSON, Bicep compiled to ARM JSON or live Azure, with findings from 1,650+ attributed checks, in the web app, CLI, GitHub Action or MCP.
Choose Hava when you want continuously synced cloud diagrams with version history.
Use both when Hava tracks what is deployed and Cloudeval reviews the change in the pull request first.

Understand the architecture and its dependencies

Explore architecture and dependency views, then inspect a resource and its properties.

Explore the diagram workflow

Connect a finding to the resource and evidence

Investigate supported findings alongside source context, resource details and coverage.

When Hava is the better choice

Choose Hava when you want continuously synced cloud diagrams with version history.

When Cloudeval is the better choice: stop the change before it reaches the diagram

Choose Cloudeval when the decision is whether an Azure change should ship, using ARM JSON, Bicep compiled to ARM JSON, or live Azure.

Using both: Hava for the live picture, Cloudeval as the PR gate

Hava tracks what is deployed. Cloudeval reviews the change in the pull request first.

Compare the workflows

Cloudeval’s comparison of documented workflows. Strong fit means a match for the named task, not a measured superiority claim. Verify exact coverage and plan requirements using the sources below.

Strong fitVerify for your workflowWeak fit

Architecture and resource relationships

Cloudeval

Generate architecture and dependency views from supported project inputs; select resources to inspect properties and relationships.

Hava.io

Automatically discovers AWS, Azure and GCP infrastructure and visualizes resources, connections and security layers.

Template review before deployment

Cloudeval

Import ARM JSON, compiled Bicep or supported CloudFormation beta templates. Inspect represented resources before deployment.

Hava.io

Compare the template input you need with the documented diagram/import workflow; do not assume IaC assessment parity.

Findings and source evidence

Cloudeval

Investigate supported findings alongside affected resources, source context and available rule evidence. Check actual assessment coverage.

Hava.io

Security visualization helps investigate exposure; verify rule-level assessment and source-evidence requirements separately.

Project-aware AI investigation

Cloudeval

Ask about selected resources, dependencies and available report findings; inspect supporting references where present.

Hava.io

Verify the specific AI question and project/report grounding workflow; visualization alone does not establish equivalence.

CLI, APIs and AI-agent access

Cloudeval

Use supported CLI project/report workflows and MCP tools for project, graph, report and chat context.

Hava.io

Provides API, CLI and CI/CD automation for diagram updates. Verify any MCP requirement separately.

Review exports and handoff

Cloudeval

Export diagrams as PNG/JPEG/SVG and available reports as PDF/Markdown/JSON. Preserve source revision and assessment time.

Hava.io

Exports PDF/PNG, editable VSDX diagrams, and resource settings as CSV or JSON.

Provider and input scope

Cloudeval

Azure sync and ARM-derived projects; CloudFormation static review is beta. These do not imply live AWS or GCP parity.

Hava.io

Discovers AWS, Azure and GCP environments, with security and container visualization.

Compare findings and evidence with your deployed diagram history.
Use both when the workflows are complementary.

AI Guide

Test the review path, not only the diagram

Use AI Guide on the same representative project you use for this comparison. It frames the relevant resources, keeps architecture and dependency context visible, and connects each chapter to evidence and a next check.

Personas adjust the emphasis for executive, architecture, security, or operations reviews. They do not change the available project evidence.

See how AI Guide works

Cloudeval Playground Dependency view with AI Guide ready to investigate resource relationships — Real Playground capture. A guide explains available project evidence; it does not prove runtime traffic, health, or ownership.
