An IaC platform for all major cloud services
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.

Use of terraform
What do you like best about the product?
Terraform is the best infrastructure management tool which can automate all the environments depending on the cloud providers that we use in the current industry
What do you dislike about the product?
Hasicorp terraform doesnot have good security features with free version. We need to have enterprise version needed in cases of best security to enable which is bit expensive
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
In our current environment we are using complete aws cloud and we automated everything with terraform resources like ec2 autoscaling loadbalancers postgres rds sns and all the microservices using terraform.it is one time to job to write the code and will push the code to all environments in no time.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Initially it feels tough learning terraform scripting once you have good knowledge on cloud services like aws azure it will be easy to correlate thing with terraform and learn easily. I would strongly recommend to use terraform to ease your work
Good tool for provisioning cloud infrastructure and managing infrastructure as code
What do you like best about the product?
- Supports provisioning infrastructure for lots of cloud providers (AWS, GCP, Datadog, Github)
- Does an excellent job in managing cloud resources as code.
- Terraform does an excellent job in managing state management of resources.
- Speeds up deploying infrastructure to cloud.
- Diffs feature in terraform helps to easily identify differences in resource configurations.
- Feature for exporting existing resources to state files via command-line tools helps to easily migrate resource configurations to code.
- Modular approach works ideally when collaborating with different teams/projects. Allows to share code and enforce restrictions on resources created.
- Strong community support as an open-source project.
- Most of the documentation is up to date even though the cloud providers are rapidly evolving with new features

What do you dislike about the product?
- Would be great if there is some support for development testing
- In some cases, resource creation fails even though the plan was successful (it would be great if the errors could be identified at the plan state)
- Refactoring code isn't easy (resources/modules cannot be renamed).
- Auto-Rollback on failures is not supported.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Terraform helps us provision cloud infrastructure in an easy and repeatable fashion. Managing infrastructure as code brings transparency in resource configurations. Integration with CI/CD tools helps validate resource configurations before application code changes are released to production.
Terraform for Cloud IAC
What do you like best about the product?
Terraform makes it really easy to manage infrastructure. Having the ability to modularize code is amazing. We create modules that can be absorbed by multiple teams within the organization. Creating workspaces also allows us to manage the environments easily. You can create custom scripts to work with your IAC which is really helpful for the customization of resources.
What do you dislike about the product?
Documentation can be improved, although they explain all the configuration settings pretty well. I have had issues with states getting messed up and it is not easy to fix that. There wasn't much to unit test initially which has been getting improved recently.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are using it heavily for creating IAC. It makes it very easy to manage infrastructures. We have multiple teams using all different cloud providers and terraform makes it easy to source it in one repo.
Turn days of building infrastructure into hours, with Terraform
What do you like best about the product?
Terraform dramatically simplifies IaaS by providing a solid platform on which one can build their whole infrastructure. This allows for documentation, reusability, and accountability.
What do you dislike about the product?
It is not a perfect product and can mess up sometimes. As long as you know what you are doing, terraform is fixable.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Compliance can be a pain, and repeatability can be difficult. Terraform allows us to write, in code, a LOT of our infrastructure. Terraform makes building new environments take a couple of hours rather than days.
Top IaC tool
What do you like best about the product?
The speed of deploying infrastructure is amazing! The HCL language is not hard to understand which makes ramp up time super fast, as well.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish there was better documentation for GCP; at least on the same level as AWS or even Azure.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We deploy infrastructure on a weekly basis and have automated the deployment using Terraform. This is a fabulous product.
Much needed Iaac tool
What do you like best about the product?
automate multiple cloud infrastructure using single yaml file
What do you dislike about the product?
state corruption is much hard to resolve
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
easy management of cloud servers and load balancers
Terraform for cloud infrastructure provisioning
What do you like best about the product?
Terraform is used by my team whenever we plan to add new resource on cloud. It makes the infrastructure much smoother and the best thing is in Terraform its possible to make the templates reusable which in turn saves a lot of time and energy.
What do you dislike about the product?
One of the feature we definitely miss is the auto-rollback upon failure and adding GUI would surely make it a lot easier in terms of operations and time.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Firstly, we have really reduced manual work for our entire infrastructure management. The reusable modules and templates are definately saving a lot of time and energy managing some of the complex architectures.
I am DevOps/SRE engineer and i am using terraform from last 4 years
What do you like best about the product?
We can automate all cloud services things that we are doing manually to
What do you dislike about the product?
some condition based checks are not supported like if you have scenarios like if rds exist, than don't create, this is hard to manage by using terraform
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Everything like to create the whole infrastructure without login to cloud console, save my time very much
Easily Provision Cloud Resources
What do you like best about the product?
Terraform is a quick, easy, and repeatable way to quickly provision cloud resources. It's supported by the community and is kept maintained. It's also a relatively cloud-agnostic way to deploy cloud resources: even though you need to define specific providers, the basic way of provisioning is still the same.
What do you dislike about the product?
The state can be a little confusing at first. It can take a few refreshes to get the state synced up if you use cloud storage. Also can get a little weird if multiple developers are using the same state file.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I used Terraform to deploy a web application (that utilized other AWS services than just a database and a few containers) to AWS, and am now using it to deploy a Landing Zone to Azure. Spin up to switch to Azure from the (more familiar to me) AWS was pretty minimal.
