Could do a little work on their AWS setup documentation.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We automate tasks and put guard rails around them to be able to let out users self serve.
Putting drop downs in place of typing command line options reduces fat fingering mistakes.
Being able to see our full schedule of jobs and being able to reschedule on the fly.

Rundeck Enterprise Review
What do you like best about the product?
Ease of Automation, Super friendly UI and hundreds of Plugins. Easy to deploy,
What do you dislike about the product?
Default authentication mechanism for servers
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Using it as an orchestrating tool to automate daily Business As Usual (BAU) tasks. Run ad-hoc commands on servers. Run cron jobs. Run Infrastructure as Code jobs via Rundeck. Run Python scripts. Run PowerShell scripts for user creation. Run PowerShell scripts for creating A and C records in Active Directory.
Rundeck glues my tools together with a simple user-friendly UI
What do you like best about the product?
I use rundeck to pull together my disparate tools and systems using pretty much whatever scripting language I want, across platforms. It integrates with many of my tools and can often be used as a way of allowing us to grant additional permissions to users that they wouldn't have otherwise in a controlled fashion, allowing us to self-service things that we previously had trouble controlling. Plus, just about every facet of the tool is pluggable so we can easily implement our own plugins to extend the tool to do things it can't out of the box. The user interface is simple and intuitive for users, and the RBAC is strong enough for us to grant permissions to users safely and securely.
Users can bring their own scripts, which allows them to reuse existing automation to make the most of their work they've completed already.

What do you dislike about the product?
The SCM integration is a bit weird and defining jobs in code, as opposed to the UI, isn't something that's quite as easy as, say, bolt or ansible since the jobs are self-contained and can't be broken out across a project. Also due to jobs being self-contained, the SCM integration happens at the project level, with all users in a project sharing a single git branch, which is really annoying for collaboration.
Users can also bring their own scripts, which allows them to bring along all of their accumulated technical debt and build on it.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We've migrated off of legacy tooling with rundeck and implemented self-service functionality for a myriad of functions we didn't have available to us prior to introducing the tool into our environment.

Rundeck is a force multiplier for our organization
What do you like best about the product?
Rundeck provides us with the means to safely delegate certain tasks to other teams. It allows us to grant less-privileged users the ability to perform mundane tasks for themselves, which frees up my team for more valuable work. It has changed the way our Operations team functions.
What do you dislike about the product?
I'd love to see a more powerful scheduler. There are certain scheduling problems that we can't overcome by just using quartz cron, so instead we end up making multiple copies of the same job.
I'd also like to see more features targeting Windows users.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use Rundeck to automate complex tasks that span across multiple machines in multiple data centers. We use it anywhere from enforcing access controls to removing junk files on our VMs-- all with an audit trail. Having a centralized job scheduler is a very nice touch as well.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Try out the open source version and see how it goes. Chances are, you'll find that it solves more than the use case that led you to it in the first place.
Rundeck is very good for operations
What do you like best about the product?
Especially Plugins which really really helpful for configuration management and daily operations
What do you dislike about the product?
Not supporting for Cloud deployments and also limited plugins availability for cloud.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Daily operations like deployments etc.
Fantastic Automation Tool for IT Operations 1
What do you like best about the product?
I love that the tool is so versatile and extensible. We are able to manage every type of end point (Windows, Linux, Appliances, Workstations, etc.) - The tool is agentless which is a huge bonus for us because managing agents sucks.
We have used this to extend functionality into other environments by creating our own plug-ins which are easy to do. We have integrated it with Cherwell, Infoblox, QRadar, you name it!

What do you dislike about the product?
I'd like to see more integrations with big vendors like CyberArk and also more options for SSO Single Sign On (LDAP/AD) - Certificate based authentication. The product continues to evolve so I am sure it won't be long before all of this functionality exists.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are using it manage high volume manual tasks like temporary administrator access grants to thousands of workstations all over the state. We use it to manage populate our CMDB hourly as our end points change and move around. We have also integrated it with our monitoring platform SCOM so that we have a more robust recover solution from alerting that comes from SCOM. This has helped us mature our server provisioning and decommissioning process. The list of things we have done with this is a mile long in a little over 12 months.
Promising, but frustrating
What do you like best about the product?
The general idea. The promise of workflow automation and decentralising/removing of silos. The ability to write java plugins to do specific things like custom steps and notifications is very useful. Adhoc executions and the somewhat generalised job options UI (with cascading options values) is very useful, but could be improved.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's slow both in the UI and in the server, and overall frustratingly buggy. Rundeck team recently closed all outstanding issues on GitHub irrespective as to whether or not they have been fixed (mostly not), suggesting upgrading to the latest version. However, every upgrade is a roller coaster of regressions and new frustrating problems, undocumented mandatory upgrade steps.
On the feature side, the lack of conditional statements for steps is frustrating (the Pro feature for this is IMO unusably complex and a massive maintenance trap), and the ability to store and use data generated by steps is frustratingly limited. Complex workflows need powerful tools, and rundeck struggles with complex workflows, workflow recovery and accurately reporting the reason for failures.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use rundeck to orchestrate deployment of huge proprietary financial trading software, from development systems through to (increasingly) production. Though of course, most of the complexity is in the scripts/tools themselves, and we have had to build UI and infrastructure around rundeck to make this feasible.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you have complex workflows, it might not be for you. For relatively simple stuff and with lower-skilled teams creating jobs from a UI - it's probably a good fit. Rundeck can be powerful and it can present a simple UI to a complex problem. You can very quickly get it to do tasks in a fairly intuitive way, but when it gets complex, it becomes unintuitive and difficult.
