Great software for VMware Administrators!

  • August 18, 2018
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
i like that it allows me to deploy infrastructure as code easily and quickly! Terraform allows you to create templates that define servers within vmware. You can then deploy these templates to create the servers with no manual intervention by the administrator. I also like that Terraform can be used across multiple cloud providers, such as AWS and Microsoft Azure. The templates being cross-platform truly make Terraform a great product for any IT administrator!
What do you dislike about the product?
The documentation for the vmware module is not very user friendly. In addition, I found that the VMware module is a bit lacking in certain areas. Deploying network settings for a VM took a while to figure out and was not user friendly at all.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am able to deploy virtual servers as code quickly and efficiently. Terraform allows me to keep server deployments consistent, so that when I need to deploy multiple identical servers, I can ensure they are all identical and deploy them efficiently.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Its a great product!

Revolutionary tool for infrastructure as code

  • August 17, 2018

What do you like best about the product?
Cross-platform support for AWS, GPC. Being able to achieve blue green deployment for achieve zero downtime. Works for all cloud resources.
What do you dislike about the product?
The learning curve is a bit deep, and you need to learn Go language.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We can now confidently deploy infrastructure changes.

Solution for all provisioning needs

  • August 14, 2018
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
It is great at what it does. Easily pluggable to existing workflows. The configurations have a learning curve but worth it. It is a polished product even when it has not been around for so long yet.
What do you dislike about the product?
It handles provisioning well but not good for configuration management and you need to implement something like ansible, chef in conjunction. They already have decent provisioning support so it becomes a bit difficult to pitch it to management to go for it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are using Terraform for our cloud VM provisioning. It has brought us closer to our goal of becoming cloud-agnostic.

The best and most user friendly cloud automation tool

  • August 04, 2018
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
This is very easy to use and learn. I can't imagine the value it brings to Operations and deployment teams.
What do you dislike about the product?
During a failed TF run, the error detail is insufficient at certain circumstances to understand the reason. Hence, I was left clueless at times and got stuck not being able to fix my code.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Automating cloud architectures for CI/CD
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Improve the debugging capabilities.

DevOps Ease with Terraform

  • July 30, 2018
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The best aspect of terraform is HCL. The language makes things easy to read and present, allowing less knowledgeable employees to still follow along with easy. Additionally, the modular approach of terraform is easy to use, as one variable change in the root module will be displayed where I want.
What do you dislike about the product?
I dislike the ability to make one ELB module in the root module, for example, and reuse the ELB module in different places. Essentially, if there was a way to have multiple sources per module, my life would be much easier and this would help IMMENSELY with larger scale projects like the one I'm working on now.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We had the problem of a disorganized and rather complicated approach to creating cloud formations/stacks on AWS. The benefits of modularization supersede our current approach and we love the ability to plan and see what will happen before anything actually occurs, along with keeping better control of our states.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Take your time with understanding modules. It takes time to implement and fully understand.

Powerful tool with growing pains

  • July 30, 2018
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Terraform provides an easy to use, declarative, cloud-agnostic way to manage your infrastructure. There is a lot of power in being able to describe how you want your infrastructure to look, and then allowing Terraform to create/modify/destroy as needed. The fact that you can use the same tool for all major cloud providers, most smaller ones, and even many tools and services in the cloud space, is helpful to keep you from having to learn more tools to work with each service.
What do you dislike about the product?
Terraform is a relatively young tool (as is the language, HCL, that is uses) and continues to see rapid changes. This can be hard to keep up with, and you might need to update templates from time to time to make use of newer versions (and the included fixes; there are still a fair amount of bugs but Hashicorp is quick to fix them, and it's getting more stable quickly). Fortunately, version 12 is coming out soon, which will bring a lot of breaking changes, but with it, many needed improvements, and a promise from Hashicorp to stabilize after that.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Streamlining the creation and management of infrastructure. Allowing users to manage their infrastructure without having to learn the specific provider it's running on.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Read through the documentation. While not as exhaustive as it needs to be, what it does cover is very helpful and outfits to use Terraform successfully. If you face issues, reach out to Hashicorp, especially on Github, as they are very responsive and helpful

Infrastructure as code done right.

  • July 25, 2018
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I like how it's free, community driven and constantly developing. It's easy to find solutions to problems in thriving community. There are so many users.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's hard to say I dislike anything about Terraform. I just find it difficult to learn it all! There is so much documentation and so many possibilities.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Automated infrastructure deployment and maintenance. Realized benefits such as developing code with a team safely and easily.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Take a look at other IaC platforms, but this open source one is great and very flexible.
