Terraform Review

  • September 27, 2022
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
It's simply in my humble opinion the best open source Infrastructure as Code software (IaC) as it can span across multiple public clouds without major refractoring.
What do you dislike about the product?
The learning curve for Infrastructure as Code software (IaC) is steep enough but it's slightly a bit more complicated with terraform since you need to learn how to use the different modules from the variety of providers.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Infrastructure as Code software (IaC) helps major companies manage infrastructure and have an audit log for the same. It promotes re-usability, manage infrastructure changes and have a codebase to understand and replicate in a short span of time.

Terraform is very good at managing your infrastructure

  • September 23, 2022
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
It helps to manage your infrastructure and detect any changes to the cloud or code
What do you dislike about the product?
It's not always correct, there are scenarios where Terraform plan would tell you it's going to create or destroy it, but it might not be able to do it because of dependencies
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Infrastructure as Code. We can keep all the cloud resources accountable and control them from code.

Fantastic tool to easily and safely deploy the services using just configuration files

  • September 12, 2022
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
This tool allows the users to build, deploy and manipulate infrastructure efficiently. The coding is minimal and could be written into a configuration file using ami(Amazon Machine Image). This gives us the ability to create new cloud accounts very quickly, hence time efficient. This is actually very easy to maintain. Main advantage is its reliability to use resources efficiently and reusability.
What do you dislike about the product?
The documentation that is present online is pretty much complex and sometimes I do face difficulty while configuring for multiple could services.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
This is a automation tool that is capable to manage multiple cloud requirements. It is beneficial as it is real quick to setup an whole new environment in few minutes with just configuration file. The people who formally used CLIs that requires a lot of care but terraform setup is quite straight and easy.

Best tool to manage and automate the infrastructure

  • August 18, 2022
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The best is its main features only that the automation capabilities where we can spinup the infrastructure in a click and for each and every resources there are documentation and code which we can refer there
What do you dislike about the product?
The only thing i dislike is the importing capabilities wher3 its possible but still its not that perfect when it comes to importing when the state file is stored in remote
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Hashicorp terraform is solving the main issues that once we setup the code then we can spinup the entire infrastructure in a click and don't need to go and do it manually

Terraform for configuration deployments

  • July 15, 2022
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Terraform helps to deploy the configurations on to the cloud. Terraform with Shepherd help in continuous deployments of various versions of applications to cloud
What do you dislike about the product?
Terraform is not easy like java, python. It needs additional and new skills to write the terraform scripts which indeed takes time to understand the available modules etc
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Terraform is quick to deploy any changes on to cloud and also to automate the process for zero downtime. With help of terraform and shepherd we can setup the automations to deploy any additonal changes

Terraform a Automation Tool

  • July 02, 2022
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
- Terraform known as Infrastructure as a code means your infra automation tools. i am writing terraform template to automate my cloud infra resources. very easy to use and save a lot of time to do the same thing in manual. in my organization, I am using this tool for AWS & Azure cloud.
What do you dislike about the product?
as of now nothing as a cron I have ever faced in using terraform, but you need to take a backup of the state file. while using terraform all the important data stored in state file so you need to take care of this things.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
In my current organization, I am on leave, so my team member wants to create the one resource in cloud infra but he does not know how to create on terraform so he does the same things manually. when I came on leave I saw there are no resources created in the cloud but not using terraform. so that time I am using the terraform import command this command is used for the your existing resources integrate with terraform.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Terraform is Automation tools and needs to save your time and cost then please start using terraform.

Handy tool for Infrastructure provisioning

  • July 01, 2022
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Contains multiple providers for the cloud platform of your choice to provision your resources.

Hashicorp language is not so complex and easy to remember in comparison to yaml language

Provisioning and destroying of your infrastructure with a single use of the command.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is limited support and provider for Microsoft Azure Cloud in comparison to AWS Cloud.

Most of the times provisioning(terraform apply) is stuck in a loop and never gets completed.

Not any more cons I know of or faced so far.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Automation of repetitive regular tasks of the day.

Provisioning and Deployment made easy and faster with respect to manual processes.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Might come in handy if looking for faster infrastructure cloud automation

A Great IAC tool

  • May 11, 2022
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Terraform is very extensible using plugins(providers).
This extensibility ensures that it can be used to provision infrastructure across different cloud vendors, and even on-premise.
It can be easily embedded into CI pipelines.
Terraform configuration uses the HCL language which is very powerful compared to other IAC tools which use plain YAML/JSON.
Terraform also gives you the ability to review the changes it is going to apply and even estimate the cost of the infrastructure before it applies the changes.
What do you dislike about the product?
The only nitpick I have is: Terraform stores sensitive values in plan text in state files. This can certainly be remedied using Vault - another product from the same company, but it would have been great to be able to obscure/mask these sensitive values in the free Terraform version as well.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use Terraform for provisioning Infrastructure across different Cloud vendors.
Benefits:
One tool works for different cloud vendors.
It also allows developing reusable modules and utilizing them - reducing the work of DevOps engineers across different projects.
Terraform also allows us to query remote data sources S3 buckets, even HTTP APIs etc. So Terraform can utilize different datasources when provisioning infrastructure. This ensures that the infrastructure is always in sync with those datasources.

An IaC platform for all major cloud services

  • March 04, 2022
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The JSON based code structure for infrastructure management is easy to learn and implement. The many providers that are available makes it easier to manage many cloud services.
What do you dislike about the product?
Terraform is good for working straight forward management approach, but still needs a lot of improvement in conditional management of resources, and updating providers.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Infrastructure management of AWS and Azure cloud services
Recommendations to others considering the product:
For IaC requirements, without doubt go for it. It's the best available and it's open source.
