Infrastructure Engineer Information Technology and Services Enterprise (\> 1000 emp.) 7/30/2018 "Powerful tool with growing pains" 5/5 What do you like best about IBM Terraform (formerly HashiCorp Terraform)? 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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about IBM Terraform (formerly HashiCorp Terraform)? 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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering IBM Terraform (formerly HashiCorp Terraform): 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 Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is IBM Terraform (formerly HashiCorp Terraform) 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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 8/18/2018 "Great software for VMware Administrators!" 5/5 What do you like best about IBM Terraform (formerly HashiCorp Terraform)? 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. What do you dislike about IBM Terraform (formerly HashiCorp Terraform)? 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.
