Considered Both Products	HashiCorp Vagrant Brendon Brown Front End Developer / Marketing Technologist Chose HashiCorp Vagrant Docker has a few advantages, especially with the disk size bloat brought on by Vagrant's hosting an entire OS and project in a VM. It relies on native tools, however, and may not support every software. Vagrant provides uniformity, efficiency and repeatability within team work … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Professional Chose HashiCorp Vagrant Fast[er] to implement than Docker. Even consuming a lot of resources, consume less resources than Docker. Cheaper than Azure, since [it] is free. Incentivized Helpful? Josh Stapp Sr. Software Engineer Chose HashiCorp Vagrant I liked lando better because lando seemed extremely easy to setup compared to other VM's and it seemed faster though that project was simpler. Virtualbox I ran on windows and it has a gui and has often been slow. The vagrant boxes I used did well but had slightly more … Incentivized Helpful? Hernán Silva Senior Front-end developer Chose HashiCorp Vagrant Docker feels lighter, faster, but Vagrant offers better support across platforms, which is a must in my company where there are users on Linux, Mac OS and Windows. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Technician Chose HashiCorp Vagrant Virtualbox and VMware were easier products to set up but did not stack up against Vagrant with the customization and the ability to specifically test and work with our code base. Virtualbox and VMware were more generic solutions that may be easier but they did not fulfill the … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Engineer Chose HashiCorp Vagrant MAMP is a much simpler solution than Vagrant. Pretty much anyone should be able to get MAMP up and running quickly, and it's much easier to maintain. However, MAMP is fairly limited to specific versions of software and runs within macOS, so it won't always completely be an … Incentivized Helpful? Collin Berg Freelance Web Developer Chose HashiCorp Vagrant Previously I had used MAMP and DesktopServer. MAMP was constantly giving me MySQL problems and is frustrating in that it limits how many installs you can have. DesktopServers was a little better, but broke when i switched to High Sierra OSX. Their website and support were very … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Employee Chose HashiCorp Vagrant I like Vagrant much more than Docker. In my opinion it's easier and more flexible to configure a Vagrant machine how i like it compared to Docker. Of course Docker executes faster, but with Vagrant only the machine creation or booting process is slower, normally you don't … Incentivized Helpful? Chris Putnam Senior Web Developer Chose HashiCorp Vagrant There's not much that I'm aware of that really does exactly what Vagrant does. Many of its tasks could be accomplished manually or via custom scripts. However, with Vagrant, automation is within easy grasp as well as a large community of experts who have pre-built solutions … Incentivized Helpful? Joey Yax Web Developer Chose HashiCorp Vagrant Vagrant is a little different than other options out there. It blurs the lines between the server environment and the local environment. Options like MAMP and XAMPP allow a developer to run a local version of Apache, MySQL and PHP locally, but it's all based on the local … Incentivized Helpful? Charles Anderson VP Engineering Chose HashiCorp Vagrant Vagrant is more of a meta-tool compared to traditional VM software. It provides a layer on top of VMware or VirtualBox. Configurations in a Vagrantfile are so much easier to manage than complete VMs. Incentivized Helpful? Claudio Fernando Maciel Sr. Software Developer Chose HashiCorp Vagrant In comparison to Docker, Vagrant is a lot easier to create its [containers] boxes, than it is with Docker. Our company already dealt with and its devops team knew somewhat well the way of Vagrant, so it was quite natural to go Vagrant when trying to choose which would be our … Incentivized Helpful? Andrew Shell Co-Founder and Chief Technology Officer Chose HashiCorp Vagrant By default Vagrant uses VirtualBox but compared to using VirtualBox directly, I've found using Vagrant makes things easier. For one, you can commit your Vagrant configuration to GitHub and manage changes that way. I'm not sure how you'd handle updated virtual machines to all … Incentivized Helpful?

User Testimonials
	HashiCorp Vagrant
Likelihood to Recommend	HashiCorp I would recommend this tool to a colleague looking to create a repeatably deployable local dev environment based on their staging and production environments. I would recommend this mostly for individuals or teams requiring environments with server-side software such as php, et al. There are likely less processor-heavy and smaller tools for simpler projects. Incentivized Brendon Brown Front End Developer / Marketing Technologist Read full review
Pros	HashiCorp Vagrant is decentralized so anyone can make a container package to get a project started. you aren't limited to wordpress, or even one style of wordpress install (you can make a sage.io wordpress environment). Vagrant easily lets you set ports and URLs for local development. I have yet to have a problem with Vagrant, as opposed to MAMP and DesktopServer, which both gave me SQL or other issues. Incentivized Collin Berg Freelance Web Developer Read full review
Cons	HashiCorp Because Vagrant is a low-level tool with many ways to configure it, there is a steep learning curve. You don't just have to learn (or install) Vagrant, but also Virtualbox, Ansible and possibly some Vagrant plugins to keep boxes up to date. Support on Windows doesn't seem great. I'm a Mac guy, so it's been very difficult getting things to work as expected when a developer wants to work on Windows. Perhaps I didn't configure it correctly, but the default shared folders are not the best for performance. There are also frequently weird issues regarding file permissions.

Likelihood to Renew	HashiCorp Vagrant is fast, versatile and does exactly what we need it to do: spin up virtual servers for local development fast and without trouble. Incentivized Collin Berg Freelance Web Developer Read full review
Usability	HashiCorp A GUI would be nice for entry level users. Incentivized Hernán Silva Senior Front-end developer Read full review
Alternatives Considered	HashiCorp I liked lando better because lando seemed extremely easy to setup compared to other VM's and it seemed faster though that project was simpler. Virtualbox I ran on windows and it has a gui and has often been slow. The vagrant boxes I used did well but had slightly more problems than lando.

Return on Investment	HashiCorp Vagrant is free - It requires a bit of extra technical knowledge in terms of setup, but since it costs nothing it's an excellent resource It can be time consuming to learn, but once you get a good handle on it you're in good shape.
