    Marco G.

Automation tool for continuous environments

  • November 26, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Easily set up recurring and triggered jobs for your continuous integration systems and activities that require strict outcome checking. Make sure your workflow is running correctly and alert those responsible for specific tasks that unexpected results occured, so to proactively take measures.
What do you dislike about the product?
If in need of complex orchestrated flows, like running parallel and sequential tasks in the same job, you might have to look elsewhere. Initial configuration can be cumbersome, especially if your systems are on a intranet that for security reasons can't be accessed by the machine that is serving Rundeck.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We switched from a non-checked deploying and sync schedule to a well-defined schedule with strict outcome verification, leading to higher customer satisfaction and a more stable architecture. With Rundeck, we could make sure that business critical tasks were executed in the right order and taking the right steps to serve what the customer needed, getting rid both of issues they had had up until that moment and preventing future issues, derived from multiple systems being integrated with each other, from arising. In the occasion that unexpected results occured, be it due to software errors or temporary unavailability of the integrated services, those responsible of the running tasks can now be alerted so that the right measures can be taken to make sure no interruption happens.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Make sure you understand Rundeck workflows and your current infrastructure allows you to make use of the way it handles tasks on machines.

Rundeck allows you to run tasks on any number of nodes from a Web-based or command-line interface. Rundeck also includes other features that make it easy to scale up your automation efforts including access control, workflow building, scheduling, logging, and integration with external sources for node and options data.

Awesome automation software

  • November 25, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
We used RunDeck for 2 years on my team to automate Sysadmin and DevOps tasks, such as cron jobs. The best thing about RunDeck is that it's free and open source and you can install it on your own machine. It's also easy to use and compatible with ansible.
What do you dislike about the product?
A simple installation can take too much resources on a self installed instance.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We used to run dozens of cron tasks on a distrubuted server cluster, rundeck make it easier and we can manage how everything's going on a single place.

Delegate IT process to development departments

  • November 25, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I love give development department the ability to be autonomous, and make them able to deploy environments by their own.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't like the user interface of Rundeck it is really old-style.
It is not really intuitive
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Give developer teams the chance to be autonomous,
These tasks were done before by IT department, so now we have more time for other tasks, such focus on CI/CD
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It makes easy for IT deparments delegate some tasks to other internal deparments, like development or QA teams, for instance deploy releases to preproduction or staging environments.
It makes easy to deploy automatic and iterative tasks on several hosts, allowing to group them and making easier boring maintance tasks.
These two features, makes than IT deparment, could dedicate more time to innnovate or find additional improvements, in place of doing task that can be delegated to other
