Overall Satisfaction with Puppet Enterprise (formerly Puppet Data Center Automation)
Puppet Enterprise is being used to deploy and manage patching of Linux servers, primarily CentOS, across a wide array of customer systems from web servers to app and database servers we are able to patch in a consistent and reliable manner with proper notifications for our monitoring system and on-call resources.
- certificate management for new device trusts
- viewing all systems currently under puppet control
- view logs from all systems to detect errors and missed runs
- clean interface to navigate through system
- web UI could use quite a bit more functionality to differentiate it from the free version
- multi-tenancy would be a big benefit in our use case
- view and edit puppet code within console ui
- Less manual patching of our Linux system
- We now sell patching as a product to customers
- Our customers are more secure with puppet patching our systems
- Chef and Ansible
[Both] products are comparable. There is a good open source community for each, but we found Puppet to be the most mature for our specific use case.
