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.

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.

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! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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.

This is very easy to use and learn. I can't imagine the value it brings to Operations and deployment teams. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Terraform is a terrific implementation of the "Infra as code" concept. The modelling of entities and the relationships between them are clear and easy to conceptualize. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Can be difficult to get the exact correct configuration sometimes. Lack of good code examples - Sometimes you really need to do extensive searches of Github in order to find the exact example that relates to you. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Provider agnostic, HCL, simple to learn basics Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Missing support for a lot of useful features like nested loops Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
