"A good tool for managing virtual environments in an enterprise fashion"
What do you like best about Vagrant?

It is powerfull and supported by HashiCorp, which provides piece of mind for enterprise developers/operators that need to manage virtual environments for different types of applications. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Vagrant?

In the last 2 years, I moved from Vagrant to Docker because the Docker ecosystem seems to have more adoption and there are more resources. Vagrant seems to have been frozen in time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"VAGRANT efficient developer!!"
What do you like best about Vagrant?

This platform will allow you to perform functions for the development of your WEB page, improve your document management and you will be able to automate virtual machines, the system and tools are attractive because we can improve and create the page with programming languages. performed by a virtual machine avoiding throwing errors. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Vagrant?

It is necessary to have technical experience, the learning curve is very long, I have required to call support to give me a hand with the configurations, it is not a simple software and you need support help to install and adapt it, in order to understand the system.

"Great help for old technologies"
What do you like best about Vagrant?

I really loved Vagrant when I used it to reproduce a Virtual machine with PHP 5.3, which were no more downloadable or easily configured in my local machine.

I found a great pack with all I needed (PHP 5.3 and Apache ), it's also highly customizable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Vagrant?

There aren't things I dislike about Vagrant, I found it really useful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Vagrant is awesome"
What do you like best about Vagrant?

This software is a marvel of modern computing. Never before has it been so easy to develop in multiple environments on just one pc or laptop. With a simple two word command, a virtual machine is created and launched. Vagrant goes out to the cloud and retrieves the chosen OS allowing for the developer to concentrate on the project rather than wasting extra time maintaining copies of development OSs and doing manual installations. This also makes it very easy to have the same development variables on multiple machines for multiple team members. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Vagrant?

I dislike that it is not more widely used. I also dislike How technical and complicated it looks at first glance. Vagrant is actually very simple to grasp a decent understanding rather quickly. The average user can be up and be running with Vagrant with minimal effort contrary to what a quick overview might lead to sugest. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Provision a virtual machine mimicking your production environment in minutes. Or, should you need, easily integrate with third-party plugins and perform advanced customizations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

When compared to Docker, swapping out components within your stack is a bit tedious. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great, Ephemeral Virtual Machines"
What do you like best about Vagrant?

I work at the command line every day. I develop in Linux, but have a Mac laptop. I use Vagrant to do all of my development.

How does that work out? On the whole pretty great. Here's what I like:

* Spinning up my development box is as simple as "vagrant up", getting in there is as simple as "vagrant ssh"

* Vagrant boxes are specified in Vagrantfiles, where you describe what steps to do when you make a new one. At this point I have codified most of what I need to spin up a new vagrant box in my Vagrant file. New computer? I'm up and running in a few minutes.

* Vagrant allows us to test out all our builds in a fully virtualized environment on developer laptops. It's actually kinda beautiful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Vagrant?

I have only one complaint about Vagrant, and to be honest this complaint is largely related to my own misuse of the tool:

If you power off your laptop at the wrong time, it is possible for a Vagrant image to become corrupted. I lost two development boxes to this (in both cases it was when I had to hold the power button because Mac OS locked up for unrelated reasons). It sucks, but that said, it also enforces a mode of thinking around ephemeral machines that I find very helpful. Both times I've lost a vagrant dev box, I've spent some time making my Vagrantfile better so getting back to speed is increasingly painless Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
