"Easy to Learn and Extensible, but Dependency Ordering Can Get Tricky"
3.5/5
What do you like best about IBM Terraform (formerly HashiCorp Terraform)?

The declarative nature of terraform made it overall easy to learn. The different level of providers is great in that my primary provider is for GCP and maintained in partnership with both companies. Yet at the same time time I could write a provider for something and have it available for people to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about IBM Terraform (formerly HashiCorp Terraform)?

By its nature it attempts to perform operations in the correct order but doesn't always get it right. This can be addressed by depends on but sometimes I've learned that I need a depends on when I'm tearing something down and it gets more complicated. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Terraform has revolutionized Infra as Code deployment in Cloud"
5/5
What do you like best about IBM Terraform (formerly HashiCorp Terraform)?

What I like best about HashiCorp Terraform is its ability to automate and standardize infrastructure provisioning across cloud environments. As an administrator, the declarative syntax makes it easy to define infrastructure as code, while the plan and apply workflow gives full visibility and control before making any changes. Terraform’s modular structure helps maintain reusable and scalable configurations, and its cloud-agnostic support allows me to manage AWS, Azure, GCP, and more using a single tool. It simplifies my workflow, reduces manual errors, and makes infrastructure management efficient and predictable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about IBM Terraform (formerly HashiCorp Terraform)?

While I truly value Terraform for its automation and flexibility, one area that I find can be challenging is state file management, especially in larger teams. It requires careful handling and secure backend configuration to avoid conflicts and ensure consistency — but it has taught me the importance of proper collaboration practices and the use of remote state backends with locking.

"Terraform is a great tool in the market to manage infrastructure as a Code."
5/5
What do you like best about IBM Terraform (formerly HashiCorp Terraform)?

It supports all major public and private cloud including AWS, Azure, GCP and VMware.It maintains a state file that serves as a crucial component of its functionality. The state file is responsible for tracking and managing the current state of deployed resources, and it aids Terraform in understanding the necessary changes required to achieve the desired state.

Certifications are available to improve skills. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about IBM Terraform (formerly HashiCorp Terraform)?

Needs a learning curve. Terraform's plan and apply workflow is a two-step process where the first step involves generating an execution plan that shows the changes that will be applied to the infrastructure. The second step is to apply the changes to the infrastructure. During the execution of these steps, Terraform may not provide real-time feedback about the progress, and this can cause delays in getting feedback, especially in larger deployments. As the deployment size increases, the time taken to complete the changes can also increase, leading to longer feedback loops. It's worth noting that Terraform provides various ways to monitor the status of deployments, such as logs and status updates, but these may not be real-time. There are third-party tools that can help provide real-time feedback, but it's essential to evaluate the tools carefully to ensure they meet your requirements.
