HashiCorp Terraform Reviews

We use this solution to manage our resources in a fully automatic way. I'm a senior Azure DevOps engineer and we are users of Terraform. 

I like the Centrix feature which gives us the ability to create loops. I also like that modules can be reused extremely easily. This is a super robust solution and I would recommend it to anyone. It has a great user interface and integrates well.

It would be helpful for us if the open source tech support was a little better. 

I've been using this solution for four years. 

The solution is stable.

The solution is highly scalable.

We use the free open-source version of Terraform so it can take time to resolve problems. The issues are generally minor, so it's not a big deal. 

Neutral

The deployment can take anywhere from 10 minutes to two hours. 

I rate this solution ten out of ten. 

We use the solution for provisioning.

The most valuable feature is the solution does not need installation.

The solution is missing a lot of properties for specific resources.

I have been using the solution for almost three years.

The solution is very stable.

We just need to download the installer from HashiCorp. We don't need to install the solution; we just need to place the file on our system, point it to the enrollment variables, and then we can run Terraform. There are three or four commands that must be executed before we can start using the solution.

The solution is open-source.

I give the solution eight out of ten.

The solution is the most popular for provision in the cloud, not only in Azure.

We use HashiCorp Terraform to deploy applications and infrastructures.

The most valuable aspect of this solution is the coding of our infrastructure. You can code it once and run it multiple times.

It works great for us.

We have had no issues integrating with other products.

It does everything we need it to do.

There is always room for improvement somewhere. I don't know everything about the product.

I read about the improvements and the different things that are coming out all of the time. They continue to maintain it.

I have been working with HashiCorp Terraform for two years.

HashiCorp Terraform is very stable. Once you have coded it, it is good.

The HashiCorp Terraform solution is scalable.

I have not contacted technical support. I have not needed it.

The initial setup was straightforward.

It is very simple to maintain.

I am not aware of the cost, my customer deals with that.

I would suggest going for it. I have not had any issue with it yet.

I would rate HashiCorp Terraform a nine out of ten.

HashiCorp Terraform is a binary executable file, that you can download to your PC and manage any cloud solution in the world, such as Google Cloud Platform, Amazon AWS, OpenStack, CloudStack, or VMware. When you use DevOps in your company, it's a useful tool for it.

The most valuable features of HashiCorp Terraform are automation and management capabilities.

HashiCorp Terraform could improve the integration with the VCloud Director. When we manage the VCloud Director we end up wasting our time when creating virtual machines. HashiCorp Terraform knows about these issues and I think there might be a workaround but they should incorporate the fix in an upcoming release.

I have been using HashiCorp Terraform for approximately one year.

HashiCorp Terraform is a stable solution. We did not have any problems.

The scalability of HashiCorp Terraform is good.

I have not used the technical support from HashiCorp Terraform.

HashiCorp Terraform tool is pre-installed on our DevOps engineer's laptops, and in our GitLab Servers. We assign it to a selection of virtual machines. We just run it, and then we perform some functions, such as creating systems or modifying CPUs or RAM.

We did the implementation of HashiCorp Terraform in-house. We have a good team of three programmers and DevOps engineers with experience.

We used one engineer for the implementation of HashiCorp Terraform. 

HashiCorp Terraform is a free solution.

I rate HashiCorp Terraform a nine out of ten.

Our primary use for the solution is to create infrastructure on the cloud. 

We are a cloud integrator. We write our codes in Terraform and reuse them for multiple customers by changing the values. 

The most valuable feature is the great community support. 

The product can be improved by implementing a native provider service. With Terraform, you need to switch the provider's version and get functionality from only that version. 

The competitor tools have native providers. You don't have to wait and request the provider to gain functionality; it's provided directly from the cloud. 

The integration with this solution needs to be improved. For example, if you want to deploy something from Terraform to Kubernetes and make changes very often, practically, it isn't easy to implement. If someone deletes something accidentally, the integration won't function well.  

I have been using this solution for more than five years. 

I would rate stability a nine out of ten. I don't have any problems with the stability. 

I would rate scalability a seven out of ten. It is problematic when multiple people want to work on the same Terraform code.

This solution is best suited for enterprise-level companies, but medium and small businesses can also use it. 

The initial setup is straightforward. The deployment time for the solution is about thirty minutes. 

We are using all the deployment models for this solution. But I prefer to use the CI/CD pipeline, which involves running the Terraform code as a final solution. I also prefer the CLI platform on my computer for development. When I develop the code, I prefer running it from my computer. After the code development, I prefer to have its own CI/CD pipeline. 

I would rate pricing a ten out of ten. You can do everything with the free license of this solution. The paid license is not required to use Terraform. 

We used Pulumi for a project. We found that Terraform is easier to write code and works faster. 

But it would be best if you learned Terraform HCL language. In the competitor solution Pulumi, languages like Go, Python, and other languages can be used. There is no need to learn a new language to use Pulumi. 

For me, it's more complicated to write the same infrastructure. If you are a cloud administrator, you should use Terraform. But if you are a developer or want to deploy simple infrastructure with knowledge of the cloud, then you should use Pulumi.

I will rate the solution a five out of ten. This is because multiple other solutions get used with Terraform. For servers, we use Ansible, whereas, for cloud infrastructure, we use Terraform. Developers need Pulumi for implementation. Terraform is facing a lot of competition. 

I would recommend Terraform to others. If you have more than one environment, you will definitely need Terraform. 

We use it to deploy resources on AWS.

It's very easy to automate functions on the cloud with HashiCorp Terraform. The commands are easy as well.

The syntax is a bit difficult, and it would great if it could be easier.

I've been using HashiCorp Terraform for four and a half years.

HashiCorp Terraform is a stable solution. We have 15 people who use it in our organization.

The initial setup is straightforward and easy.

There are free and paid versions of the solution. We use the free version.

I would recommend HashiCorp Terraform and rate it at eight out of ten. I like that there is a free version of the product, but the coding could be easier.

It enables us to create our cloud implementations without a technician needing to sign on to the cloud.

We are able to do multiple hybrid cloud implementations for clients that need to support Azure and AWS. 

It allows for the abstraction of the work away from the developer into automated processes. 

The reuse simplification is very good. 

It can enforce DevOps. 

It is stable. 

Technical support has been fine. 

The workflow and automation could be better.

The user interface could be easier for non-technical people. 

There's a learning curve involved with the setup; however, it is low to medium. 

I've used the solution for a long time. I've used it for 12 years at least. 

The stability is excellent. There are no bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. 

It's not a customer-facing solution. We've never had an issue with it. However, it is not a primary concern of ours in terms of the ability to expand. 

Most business analysts and sometimes architects use the solution. We have 1700 people in our organization, and we are doing 100 projects at a time. Almost all of the projects require the use of the product. Half of the people are engaged in the solution in one way or another. We have about 750 people using it. 

Technical support is very good. 

The initial setup is very simple for the most part. 

The pricing is expensive. It's more for enterprise implementations. The cost is above average in general. 

We're a consulting company. 

I'd advise other users to automate to the greatest extent possible to get the best ROI.

I'd rate the solution nine out of ten, even though the workflow is not the strongest on the market. 

Terraform is the infrastructure as code solution used across our business. 

The way the modules are divided for infrastructure provisioning and are set up for reliability to offer plug and play functionality has been really useful. This solution makes it easier to manage a multi-cloud environment and have your entire infrastructure as code. 

On occasion, I have noticed a number of bugs in this solution that have needed to be fixed. 

In a future release, it would be great to have an easier way of troubleshooting. We'd like to have a dashboard where company management can get a full view of provisioning.

I have used this solution for three years. 

This is a scalable solution. 

It would be great to have faster resolution of instances where there are bugs in the system. 

Neutral

The initial setup is straightforward. 

I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.
