Overall Satisfaction with Waypoint, by HashiCorp

Waypoint by Hashicorp makes the experience of the developers smooth and easy by integrating with various platforms like Elastic Kubernetes service (EKS) and Kubernetes and lot of other platforms . In our organisation we are using Waypoint to for building, creating and releasing the code in various Environments like Test, UAT and production .
  • 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
  • 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  • It uses HCL language which is outdated , can be moved to YAML which is used by most of the tools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
  • The compatibility of waypoint with almost any cloud provider like GCP, AWS and Azure
  • Easy to setup
  • The GUI interface is easy to understand and work with
  • 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
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.

Do you think HashiCorp Waypoint delivers good value for the price?

Yes

Are you happy with HashiCorp Waypoint's feature set?

Yes

Did HashiCorp Waypoint live up to sales and marketing promises?

I wasn't involved with the selection/purchase process

Did implementation of HashiCorp Waypoint go as expected?

I wasn't involved with the implementation phase

Would you buy HashiCorp Waypoint again?

Yes

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.
