Great
What do you like best about the product?
Terraform gives you the ability to create your infrastructure. I have used terraform for creating infrastructure on AWS.
What do you dislike about the product?
I haven't faced any specific issues, as of now.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It allows to write the script with inbuilt modules to create components, taking an example of AWS
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you want to secure your infrastructure without allowing changes from user interface that are more vulnerable and can affect the whole infra, instead go for a terraform that can plan your needs , apply them potentially

Best Infra as a code service/solution
What do you like best about the product?
Currently automating aws infra with the help of terraform. This has made deployment of environments a breeze. The structure of terraform files are easy to understand and modify. This makes it very easy to code with fewer lines of code. Though it has a bit of initial learning curve, once you understand how to use it its very easy to manage and update.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes the deployment takes long, mostly due to a dependency while modifying. The enterprise version is very costly.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
- Automating AWS infrastructure creation / maintenance
- Migration from one cloud vendor to another

Terraform the great IAAC tool
What do you like best about the product?
First of all i would like to thank hashi corp for the getting this tool in to the market
The reason for this statement is
I really like the tool the way it organised in terms of setting up the infrastructure
I am part of the multiple projects were we use aws and gcp cloud provides for my projects.
Initially we use the AWS cloud formation in the aws cloud and similarly deployment manager in the gcp, were i could find very difficult using those, it has the different interface and the usage is completely different, Were when i start using the terraform i really loved it the way it works and the options it has i.e. providers, resources and etc and it is easy to write and understanding it uses the HCL(Hashi corp configuration Language)
Here are the below attracts more
1) Mentioning the Resources and providers
2) We can Destroy the infrastructure at a ease way
3) Liked the Desired state and the current state, i.e. when any manual changes happen in the console level and when we check using terraform refresh it updates in the tfstate file, this is basically the current state and easily know what are the changes it was done
4) As per the experience i have and faced in providing the version number while implementing the terraform,
Example : when we are setting the dev env the provider version is different and when setting up the production the provider version is different so it might break the chain and some resources might have the higher update.
5) It gives us the option to check even in the 3 rd party types and HCl is verifying those too.
6) were we used the from a file concept i.e. we use main.tf, variables.tf and dev.tfars similarlly qa.tfvars and etc.
7) We use to enable the logs for tracking purpose
8) Using terraform we can taint the resources and unwanted things can be easily destroyed.
9) It has the good feature of lock state
10) We can add the new resources in the middle of the working env were it does not effect the present infrastructure

What do you dislike about the product?
Only one thing in terms of dis like is the concept called import
Eg : if any one set up the any resources and if we want the same in terms of the HCL we have to write by checking the resources and it is tricky and not a good practice too. i feel there is a next release i.e. terraform 0.13 which is releasing on Aug 12th 2020
Expecting that this new feature should automate like entering terraform import should get the existing resources or infrastructure.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As i said Initially i was using the aws cloud formation for setting up the infrastructure in AWS, Similarly using deployment manager in GCP, So it avoids using the multiple tools and made it easy with the HCL.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Folks, If you want to set up the infrastructure then think Terraform, it really reduce our effort in lots and ease of setting up the things and exposure also great once the engineer habituate with this tool def. it solves many issues and made it simple.
I really thank full to hashi corp for getting this kind of tool in the market and made is success.

Best and user friendly
What do you like best about the product?
It's very easy to use and learn. Useful across all cloud platform.
What do you dislike about the product?
Documentation can be modified a bit. This will help to beginners.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am able to deploy VMs very consistent manner.
Versioning your infrastructure
What do you like best about the product?
You can version you infrastructure along with your code. So rollbacks are easy.
What do you dislike about the product?
There terraform files Aren't programmatic and are based on desired state. Them being programmatic can help add additional functionality.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Automating acquiring of resources and their management at one single place along with added benefits
My experience with terraform has been pretty good so far
What do you like best about the product?
Shorter learning curve, if you are already familiar similar stuff like CloudFormation.
What do you dislike about the product?
I think more and better quality tutorial and courses would definitely help
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Automate my deployments on AWS
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I would highly recommend using Terraform for all cloud computing professionals. Although I use it only for AWS right now, but, I believe it will be much easier to switch to any other cloud provider with help of Terraform
Great infrastructure provison and management tool
