    What we really like, is the patching part, os usefulle and easy to manage. Something that we don't use, is the VM deployment from Satellite, since we have only 8 VCD licences and a 30-nodes VMWare cluster, it was pretty hard to manage on which physical node the VMs should run .

    Sage Estimating was initially created for the construction industry and many of its current users use it to estimate buildings, but it has adapted quite well for the oil and gas industry. If the user is willing to invest the time and energy to develop and maintain their database, I can see it working for any industry. It is very easy to adjust and adapt the database as estimating methods and project designs change. As an example, our accounting department sometimes changes the way projects are reporting in our accounting software. Because I can go through our 9000 line item database in a couple of days, I am always ahead of the curve and can report my estimates in the format they require.

    • The program has a fairly antiquated user interface such that someone working in it may not feel like they are working with advanced software.
    • Sage Estimating has absolutely no remote access capability outside running it in a Citrix/RDP environment so users have to be using a fat/full client vs. any hopes of access on a mobile device.

    Usability
    Red Hat
    It is part of our daily job, without it, we will have to manually maintain a server with repos, update the repos, it will ask us a lot of time to prepare a new set of repos, and so on. Even if it is a bit tricky to use, and for a newcomer, it needs some time, we still love to use the tool, and we keep it up to date. Curerntly using v6.19.2

    Sage's support of Estimating is adequate though frankly we rarely need it. Outside of more complex operations such as upgrades and installation problems the program itself is so straightforward that we do not usually have any "issues" and questions that are more about usability can easily be answered in online forums. We trust Sage's capability to answer these questions if needed but rarely use it.

    Not sure about this question, there a no other solutions that Satellites beside Foreman(free version without support) Are you talking about Red Hat in general ? If it is about RH, well, we like the support we have, all the tools available. We used to have a TAM, which as very interesting, but the new cost to have was way to high... so we deciced to let it go.

    Return on Investment
    Red Hat
    • We have been able to automate the update process to not require after-hours monitoring.
    • Centralizing updates has greatly reduced the overall time servers are down and processing their individual updates.
    • We are able to bring our own RPM packages in and stage them in the same deployment model as official Red Hat packages.

    • Manupulation of existing data is very user friendly thanks to "Database Manager".
    • A bit pricey
