HashiCorp Waypoint vs. OpsLevel

Waypoint is very similar to teraform , it can run a ec2 machine, an ECS service, Azure containers, Google containers and many more , which is one of the most advantageous thing about waypoint . The team that we are working with has a hybrid customer based in multiple clouds like AWS, Azure and GCP.

• The infrastructure as a code concept is simple and easy to learn in waypoint
• You can integrate waypoint with various code repositories like Github, Gitlab etc
• The waypoint UI provides a interactive interface to view the status of your builds

Incentivized

• Need more controlling environment which is missing in waypoint
• The UI lags sometimes which can be problematic at times
• It uses HCL language which is outdated , can be moved to YAML which is used by most of the tools
• Need to copy the endpoint everytime from waypoint to my browser
• It forces me to install a server

Incentivized

As waypoint is developed by HashiCorp which is also a developer of teraform , the trust was already there . Moreover the simplicity of ease of access made our choice even more clearer against its competitors. The competitors were good but weren't able to compete with the versatility and suite of application and functionality provided by WAYPOINT.

Incentivized

• ROI was good as team was able to adapt to it in very less time
• We were able to setup our hybrid cloud environment within 2 months smoothly
• we created lot of POCs with waypoint which helped us procure a lot of customers
