Puppet Enterprise widely user as automation task. It has better support and help.

Automatically trigger application builds and continuous integration workflows on any code commit or pull request.

They are always open to help and are very communicative. Plus it is very easy to use and track the changes that were made about anything.

It is also a bit hard to learn the software because it uses Ruby language which means you need to have some Ruby knowledge.

Furthermore, you should be very careful when selecting the community, because it is hard to switch from one to another. Another thing that I dislike is their dashboard.

It is a productive tool which helps in automation and setting the IT infrastructure. It also helps us in adopting the DevOps practice like version control, code review, testing and in integration.

A positive experience, really changed the game when it easily managing a growing number of machines which comes hand in hand with scaling of a company.

Poor - due to the custom Ruby coding (engineering level expertise required) it just doesn't scale for our enterprise.

It's a Very powerful tool for managing configuration of large estates, can be adapted to suit many different use cases.

What I like about this software is that it keeps everything perfect and in its place, plus I can control the changes that are needed for my business to grow.

Another thing that I like about this software is that reduces my time spent on building the software. If you know what you are doing on Puppet, you can easily do the job in a short period.

Puppet is a good product to eliminate repeated works, such as pushing the same configuration across multiple systems.

Even though there are no obvious issues with puppet, here are a few. The dashboard is not available.

A bit hard to learn for system admonistrators as it uses Ruby based language and requires some knowlende of Ruby.

The choice of modules for a wide range of products is very impressive. Also appreciate the open source community.

Overall, I like this software, it’s easy to use it has everything that you need.

The IAC solution when hosting with multiple providers.

Overall it has been great tool to setup infrastructure on hybrid cloud.

It’s much better than writing down the steps for doing things manually if you need to do them more than a few times.

It does not have a rollback system in case you accidentally make wrong changes to your infrastructure. Enterprise plans can be expensive, depending on the user's needs.

Constant upgrades needed to get new features, pre-defined directory structure, lots of missing features/bugs in the Azure provider.

Overall, love using Terraform and would absolutely recommend it as a way to keep track of your infrastructure in source code.

It is very extensible and works with multiple cloud platforms, popular hosting platforms like DigitalOcean, GoDaddy etc.

Overall, the experience is great. It allows us to support complex cloud infrastructures without the risks of manual work.

Integration with Git works good. State File changes are accurate.

Easy to use once you get the syntax. Proper documentation available in the Hashicorp site.

It seems that there are still some provider options missing so some thing need to be done manually.

Terraform well suited for Infrastructure as code utility, and speed ups the deployment of the infrastructure.

The best part is that I can easily integrate it with Jenkins or Azure DevOps pipelines, Vaults for secret management, ansible, etc.

We have been exploring Terraform in paralel to other of its competitors to resolve the IAC needs for our project.

Having to manage this is annoying and can be a huge pain.

Once you get the basic syntax and familiarize your self with the error messages, things become simplified.

For someone who has zero IaC background and experience it's extremely easy to set up and configure locally. The documentation is well organised.

I like the way we can automate infrastructure provisioning across public cloud platforms which is really helping organisations in productivity and efficiency of technology processes.

It’s ubiquitous and provides support for just about anything you’d a want to automate in your IT infrastructure.

Very well documented and supported by the community. Many available modules at Hashicorp.

Good documentation and examples are available to get started. It supports deployments to multiple cloud providers.

This is just one example but as you dive deeper you will find many such smaller hurdles which can get frustrating to debug.

HashiCorp products have proper and efficient documentation that makes a new user get started easily. HashiCorp products have a large and active community support since their products are open source.

Terraform is amazing because it removes some of the complexity of AWS.

At the time I'm composing this, when Terraform experiences a mistake, it stops on the progression where the blunder is experienced and any assets recently made are left set up.

The learning curve is small, APIs work very well, and it's free.

Some of the error messages are very cryptic and difficult to debug. With more and more IAC being deployed, the state file becomes bigger and bigger and the checks for changes become slower and slower.

The biggest pro it has is hands down it's ability to facilitate infrastructure as code for projects that need more than Azure hosting. Also has a polished syntax.

The best thing about Terraform is it's a free, open-source, and very easy-to-learn tool for provisioning and managing infrastructure as code.

Hashicorp products have an easy to use interface.

Terraform uses providers for interacting with vendor specific APIs for provisioning infrastructure. It uses HCL (Hashicorp language) which is quite powerful compared to plain YAML or JSON.
