Best option to audit your operations
What do you like best about the product?
Rundeck has a good integration with ansible tasks and also I very good way to audit our infrastructure tasks. It's very simple to install and create jobs, good integration with slack as well.
What do you dislike about the product?
ACL configuration to control security resources (in opensource version) is not so simple to configure, edit acl file is not intuitive. The web interface could be more simple to add new nodes, avoiding edit files manually.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We automated some manual tasks like deploy apps, execute and monitor backups, we created useful tasks to troubleshoting complex environments just by one click. Now we know who is executing our scripts and we can now monitor and audit the infrastructure with more effectiveness.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Rundeck is a good (maybe the best) opensource option to automate your infrastructure in a simple way, and very easy the final user.

Rundeck provides an easy way for users from different teams to login to a simple UI and run jobs. It's easy to intsall and maintain.

The secret sauce to delegate automation maintenance
What do you like best about the product?
Rundeck allow us to delegate access to complex scripts/tasks so anyone can change and run but keeping full accounting and every output from the task for every time it was run. It supports to load node selection from anything so with smart selection even if the infra grows or reduce it size tasks won't need to be changed.
What do you dislike about the product?
Only thing I dislike is that it was written in Java, but not because of rundeck, I always dislike java. Thankfully the tasks for rundeck do not require any java knowledge or interaction.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Batch processes, Automation scripts, App Maintenance jobs, Complex apps with multinode/multidc deployment, etc.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Try it, you won't regret it.

Awesome automation software
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.
Fantastic tool, free, updates are great, never had any issues
What do you like best about the product?
User friendly, quick to setup, but easy to maintain. It's about as easy (or easier) to set up and get running as a cron job but the functionality is much better. Great community as well.
The genius in the product is how easy it is to get started. You can go from 0-hero in less than an hour, and that's amazing for a lot of these Linux software packages.
I really like the way you can setup projects for each piece of your work. My work spans a wide area and it's nice to be able to organize it. Also, getting emails for failed jobs is AMAZING. Sure, you can do that with cron jobs but why? This is way easier.

Any issues I have had have all been resolved by new features. Currently I have no issues.
