Lots of potential
What do you like best about the product?
We have only manage some testing but I think it offers a lot of potential for providing users with access to systems while avoiding the usual complications of having to provide admin access to everyone.
What do you dislike about the product?
The UI could be more friendly and mor evisually appealing.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have looked at providing access to Ansible runs for self-service infrastructure and to othe radmin-level operations for similar reasons.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Well worth a look if you have users needing access to automation and admin functions, and who doesn't.

Rundeck will become the invaluable tool you never knew you needed
What do you like best about the product?
We setup a Rundeck instance years ago, mostly to play around with it. Over time, Rundeck has become completely invaluable. It's a touchpoint between multiple systems that otherwise wouldn't coordinate. Running simple and complex jobs is easy to setup and forget about, and Rundeck will happily keep them going, letting you know if something goes awry. Being able to review a history of job executions is something we rarely need, but when we need it, access to that data is invaluable. And everything can be scheduled to run repeatedly which is fantastic.
Rundeck connects to Jenkins, Salt, and runs scripts managed by rerun. It doesn't operate in a vacuum and that is its strength. Any job you need to run periodically, or provide a cleared self-service GUI or API into, use Rundeck. You'll soon find it's invaluable to your organization.

What do you dislike about the product?
Some of the recent GUI changes are a bit meh. Overall, the interface has grown and improved over the years. But the UI to access edit screens, whether the cancel or confirm button is first, and navigating between executions is inconsistent and less clear than in previous releases. I haven't raised any issues, as these are minor annoyances, but cleaning them up would make a great tool even better.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We do more with less. The hardest part is taking the 5 extra minutes to wrap a repetitive task into a Rundeck job. That's not a slight on Rundeck, but more a comment on how even the smallest routine tasks can and should be easily automated with Rundeck.
We have some jobs that are nearly ready for self-service IT processes. When time allows, making these available to non-IT users will be fantastic and reduce load on our IT team.
Rundeck is truly the glue that holds it all together.

No problems - It allows my team to operate with fewer people thanks to the automation
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It's probably the best open source solution there is. I looked at a lot of options while going through procurement
great tool
What do you like best about the product?

What do you dislike about the product?
What I least like is that it should be less complicated to access windows services.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I created jobs to restart important services on some servers, removing the need for employees to login to the servers.
Automation your way

Flexibility of rundeck is the strong points of using this software

It lacks a refined interface but the flexibility makes up for it.

There is nothing to dislike! it is configurable, powerful and open source.

We are automating routine IT and Business operations tasks and workflows so administrators and end-users can automate playbook type operations. Saves time, minimizes mistakes and gives clear visibility into job scheduling and run history
Very good experience
What do you like best about the product?
The best is the simplicity, documentation and easy configuration.
Very rarely I came across a bug and got a quick reply when reporting it.

What do you dislike about the product?
The listing of nodes that is selected when running a job is good but would could be improved. A way of grouping them would be good (based on a tag or a new node property field for example) .
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
This was really helpful for the 2nd level support that was able to automate some routine work on the systems.
It was also useful to shutdown applications that spawn across multiple servers.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
The benefits for automation are very high for the small amount administrative cost to maintain Rundeck in your infrastructure.
