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."It allows our clients to have the confidence to centrally manage policies for security. It helps them in securing the organization from a technology aspect."
"The Asset Management and Auto Pilot are valuable features."
"Intune device restriction policies enable me to enforce limitations on the device, like blocking the mobile camera or restricting the employees from using and inserting USB devices, including thumb drives and flash drives."
"The solution is easy to use."
"Intune enables us to manage our devices from anywhere."
"I like that we can implement conditional access."
"It's easy to manage and easy to configure."
"Intune's most valuable features are the device, compliance, and configuration policies."
"HashiCorp Terraform is highly stable."
"It allows for the abstraction of the work away from the developer into automated processes."
"One of the most valuable features is that it offers the ability to create a VPC, Virtual Private Cloud and VPN connectivity to the VPC can be automated without having to do it manually."
"The most valuable feature of HashiCorp Terraform is the custom modules."
"The state file is the most beneficial aspect of HashiCorp Terraform. It enables the retrieval and utilization of a previous state to build upon. This feature is particularly important since it allows for the identification of changes from the previous state, making the state file a critical component of the process."
"It is a stable solution."
"Can be used across multiple cloud providers and multiple platforms."
"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."
"It offers excellent scalability."
"The solution's initial setup is straightforward. The deployment process took me around ten minutes to fifteen minutes."
"Spring Cloud integrates well."
"The solution could improve its flexibility."
"The configuration and pricing can be improved."
"It would be nice to have a location tracker for the mobile device management tool. I'm not sure if it exists but hasn't been configured or if it's missing, but we've been unable to utilize the location features."
"There should be more focus on mobile device security and integration."
"Reporting could be improved. It needs to be more expensive and robust."
"The documentation about the custom image setup could be better. Although Microsoft provides the steps to configure Intune or set up or deploy Intune, it doesn't have much information related to custom images. If you ask, "how can we deploy the custom image?" There is no information. The steps they mention ask you to connect to your on-premises environment or create your own image on the cloud itself once there is connectivity. But I needed to go to multiple websites to get all this information. I had to figure out how to upload the custom image if you want to use the on-premise custom image for Cloud PC. If you have the proper subscription, you must have the right access, like global admin or owner. Then you can add your custom image to that. There are no steps mentioned over there. Microsoft Intune doesn't have Chrome browser support. I would like to have that support because they will want it if we pitch the product to clients."
"Microsoft Intune is not user-friendly to manage and has room for improvement."
"Lacks the ability to deploy more ways of management, managing devices and processing the policies."
"The product must improve DevOps features."
"The error logging could be better. Sometimes, when you try to set something on Terraform, it gives you an error, but you don't understand how the error has been logged."
"Terraform could create more examples in the documentation."
"On a scale from one to ten, I would give this solution a rating of seven; strictly because I was uncomfortable using the ARM template earlier. After another six months, I am sure I will give it a rating of 10, but at this point in time in my experience, I say seven, but not because of the tool itself."
"HashiCorp Terraform state management could be improved to be used efficiently with multi-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 integration with this solution needs to be improved."
"It would be nice if they could put our infrastructure on graphics or at least provide a map of our infrastructure."
"Stability is one area in the solution that needs to improve."
"It would be beneficial for the framework to become more lightweight and efficient when transitioning to the cloud."
"If there's a dashboard like the ones provided by Apigee or Kong, that will be useful."
