HashiCorp Terraform Reviews

We use the product for cloud deployments, specifically provisioning services in the cloud.

The platform's most valuable feature is the infrastructure as code aspect, which allows us to code the infrastructure part, making deployments more efficient.

One area for improvement could be the inclusion of more dedicated Terraform providers developed by the companies themselves, rather than relying on third-party developers.

Additional features could include more intuitive environment-specific configurations and possibly enhanced support for development and production environments.

I have been using HashiCorp Terraform for approximately six months.

I rate the platform's stability a ten out of ten. 

I rate the platform scalability a ten out of ten. 

The initial setup was straightforward. I rate the process a ten out of ten. 

The product can be cost-effective, especially if you use the CLI and do not require the cloud solutions provided by HashiCorp. It can be used for free, which is beneficial for small companies.

I rate HashiCorp Terraform a ten out of ten. 

I use the solution to provision cloud resources on Azure, AWS, and GCP platforms.

What I like best is how easy the tool is to use. The HashiCorp Terraform language syntax is simple to learn. The Terraform.io registry feature is very useful - we can refer to our code and use pre-created modules posted there.

One area for improvement is real-time syncing with the actual infrastructure. Currently, you have to run CLI commands to sync the state file.

I have been using the product for two years. 

I rate the tool an eight out of ten. Sometimes, it can break down when handling too many resource creations at once due to dependency issues. 

I've contacted the support team a few times when getting errors.

Positive

The initial setup and deployment are also easy, especially when using the tool's code to deploy to cloud platforms.

The tool is worth the money. 

While it's easy to learn, you need experience with the HashiCorp Terraform language syntax to use it. I rate the overall solution an eight out of ten.
