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."The solution has reduced the risk of security breaches by 30%."
"Technical support, in general, has been quite helpful."
"We use a local Active Directory, but we weren't able to manage all our on-site systems without a solution like Intune, and we needed to deploy software like VPNs and other things. It's seamless now to to this through Intune."
"The key benefit of Intune is its integration with the Microsoft ecosystem."
"The tool's most valuable feature is Autopilot."
"There has been a noticeable increase in productivity for both my organization and clients."
"The most valuable includes managing everything from a single console."
"It's easy to manage and easy to configure."
"The most valuable aspect of this solution is the coding of our infrastructure. You can code it once and run it multiple times."
"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."
"The state backend, automated describe functionality, modular structures, and variablization using templates are most valuable."
"The first thing I like about the solution is that it keeps a version of your infrastructure."
"The most valuable feature is the support for different platforms like cloud, datacenters, VCS, databases, various storage types, and Kubernetes."
"Can be used across multiple cloud providers and multiple platforms."
"HashiCorp Terraform is highly stable."
"The most valuable feature of Terraform is the ability to use it as a coding language because it works in a way that's similar to other coding languages."
"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."
"Sometimes, updating a client policy is very difficult. This needs to be improved."
"The installation could be improved to be simplified."
"When Microsoft Intune is used with different android devices it does not always work as it is supposed to."
"It would be helpful if there was proactive remediation."
"It would be great to see on-premises mailboxes and for the solution to have geofencing capabilities."
"One big problem with Microsoft is that they're changing the names of the products quite often, or they're quite consistently doing so. Intune is now Endpoint administration. Constantly switching the user interface or the administrative interface makes it quite hard to keep pace. If you are on a two-week holiday and you come back and look at the same screen you have looked at for the last couple of months, it looks different, which is annoying. Changing things around all the time doesn't make it easy."
"Lacks the ability to deploy more ways of management, managing devices and processing the policies."
"Microsoft Intune needs to improve the initial login process."
"Terraform could create more examples in the documentation."
"With cloud providers always adding new resource types, there are certain resources that Terraform does not support. It would be great if it could support those resources as well."
"The solution is missing a lot of properties for specific resources."
"They have added a feature that helps us to import existing resources to our workspace, but if they can help us to create the code for the import, as well, then it would be a great addition."
"When a misconfiguration or drift occurs, fixing the issue can be difficult. For instance, if there is a change in API calls while a script is running, it can be challenging to make corrections. This may require additional review and modifications to the code. I recall an instance where an industry budget creation process was altered, and it took significant time to amend the code. In fact, I had to add five or six different script portions to resolve the issue."
"The product must improve DevOps features."
"Some areas where Terraform could improve would be challenges in managing sensitive information, especially when dealing with secret files or credentials."
"The state locking functionality can be improved. In certain situations, we have to force-unlock the state, which sometimes does not work. When that happens, we have to manually go to the state backend and remove that particular state, which is kind of a cumbersome process. It should also have more functions, more expressions, and support for more products."
"If there's a dashboard like the ones provided by Apigee or Kong, that will be useful."
"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."
