We performed a comparison between HashiCorp Terraform and Spring Cloud based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Configuration Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Maturity makes it a stable product."
"The solution is easy to use, simple to understand for those new to using it, and combined with the other Microsoft products it makes for an overall good package."
"It is user-friendly, and the performance is also good. It is a convenient product"
"Configuration profiles, remediation, scripts, and auto-pilot features are very good."
"It is a very helpful solution."
"The features I found most valuable in Intune are its user visibility and troubleshooting options."
"Autopilot is the most valuable feature of Microsoft Intune."
"I believe that the solution is actually in Gartner's top quadrant at the moment for mobile device management."
"It allows for the abstraction of the work away from the developer into automated processes."
"This solution is a fast and secure way to provision infrastructure."
"The most valuable features of HashiCorp Terraform are automation and management capabilities."
"The state backend, automated describe functionality, modular structures, and variablization using templates are most valuable."
"It is a stable solution."
"The most valuable feature is the support for different platforms like cloud, datacenters, VCS, databases, various storage types, and Kubernetes."
"The environment is very good. That's awesome."
"It is one of the best things because now we have everything automated with Terraform. We didn't have an outage for the last three years because everything is written in a code, and every change we have made is recorded. If we didn't have a tool like Terraform, it would be extremely complex to achieve this level of maturity with infrastructure."
"Spring Cloud integrates well."
"The solution's initial setup is straightforward. The deployment process took me around ten minutes to fifteen minutes."
"It offers excellent scalability."
"The Mac integration has room for improvement."
"The UI also needs improvements because it is complex for end-users. We have had feedback from a few users in our organization who found the UI is not feasible for tracking and analyzing all the processes and monitoring all the devices."
"I have a lot of Apple products in my environment. It would be nice to have an improved integration of Apple products with Microsoft Intune without Jam."
"The add-ons must be integrated into the solution."
"Microsoft Intune is not user-friendly to manage and has room for improvement."
"When somebody has a customized application or their own company's application, we cannot deploy that application."
"The solution could improve its flexibility."
"The solution could be improved by the opportunity to connect third-party application databases, such as Chocolatey or another setup store, to Intune."
"The product's initial setup phase was easy."
"HashiCorp Terraform is an open-source tool that relies on external developers to create plugins to expand its capabilities. However, this approach can be problematic as not all plugins are created by professionals and some may have security vulnerabilities. In the case of GKE, Google has created a solid plugin, but for other services, one must search for plugins on the HashiCorp Terraform registry, which can be hit or miss, as many plugins are created by students or hobbyists, who may not continue to maintain or update them. This model of open-sourced plugins may not be the most reliable or secure way of expanding the tool's capabilities."
"They should include tutorials for understanding the use cases."
"The price of the solution could improve."
"This solution could be improved by adding features such as CDM to accelerate the access of data by the users."
"From a user's perspective, it would be great if a UI tool is made available in the open source version as well, but I don't think it may be introduced because of the high costs for it announced by HashiCorp in its licensed version...HashiCorp Terraform can improve backward compatibility."
"The solution is complex when we use it for a loop. This is a problem, not because of the language itself, but because of how the infrastructure generally works. It's different from Python."
"Terraform lacks in running script."
"Stability is one area in the solution that needs to improve."
"If there's a dashboard like the ones provided by Apigee or Kong, that will be useful."
"It would be beneficial for the framework to become more lightweight and efficient when transitioning to the cloud."
