What people are saying about HashiCorp

Community commentary has focused on the license change and IBM's acquisition rather than product quality, so buyers typically review licensing terms.

Things to consider

  • Worth reviewing the Business Source License terms and the OpenTofu fork when choosing tooling.
  • Teams that prefer open-source licensing may want to follow whether IBM revisits the license.
  • Consider how IBM approaches open access, given its Red Hat source-code decision.
