tiny and least help full documentation specially on product upgrade 3.1.0 to 3.1.2 (my experience). Untested product release of 3.1.2 version.

Rundeck Review
What do you like best about the product?
Features like running Ad-hoc commands, centralised management for scheduled jobs and logging user activity are making life easy. Integrations with Slack, Jira, Ansible are useful.
What do you dislike about the product?
Scaling is big issue as need to always go for the vertical scaling. No guide to tune it and plan the capacity for job scheduling and debugging/troubleshooting issue is really difficult.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Centralised Scheduling of cron jobs and error handling. Enabling users to execute adhoc commands and compare the output from different instances. Also helps in auditing user activity on multiple stack of servers.
Great product, absolutely terrible pricing changes
What do you like best about the product?
We used this to give certain groups access to do limited work without having to give them the full permissions that would be needed to perform some of these options, the powershell integrations, and especially the SAML authentication were both great for ensuring secure access and execution.
What do you dislike about the product?
When we first bought enterprise, it was reasonably priced with a bulk license per server, we have many individuals that only use this product once a quarter or so, and when they changed the pricing model to per user, per admin, it suddenly because ridiculously expensive in relation to the perceived gain.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It helped to realize self service operations for several of our applications, while keeping the technical skill level required low.
Great idea, some great features, could be more user friendly

Intuitive and Powerful
What do you like best about the product?
The ability to execute simple or complex solutions consistently. Also offers the ability to scale with our environment and fine tune at different levels for greater optimization. Integrates well with our other solutions ranging from VM/Server provisioning, to remediation playbooks.
What do you dislike about the product?
Greater documentation and examples around ruleset executions.
More internal utilities for managing the JVM/App tier. Filesystem logging on data around GC cycles, active heap, and other metadata.
Greater execution audit, the ability to easily search for all executions to a specific node, or by a specific user, all accross mutliple projects.
A rollup count to determine an executions success, IE if a job runs on 100 nodes but failes on 1, the job would show 99% successful instead of 0% successful. Additional runs could bubble equate into the agreggate percentages.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Rundeck is a utility we use throughout our enterprise for number of reasons. Executing scripts without logging on to a server is a great add. Add onto it the ability to execute powershell and integrate with powercli and we get a pretty good vm provisioning utility. We use it to rollout software, be it packages, configs, or kernel patches.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Get the trial ASAP.
We use rundeck for job scheduling. We have many jobs running on Windows and Unix platforms.
What do you like best about the product?
Existing plugins and easy configuration.
What do you dislike about the product?
Problems with some Plugins. When there are problems with the platform, sometimes the logs are not explicit and we have difficulty identifying the problem.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Some configurations and problems with plugins, but the Rundeck Support gave us the support we needed to solve them.
