Automation for everyone
What do you like best about the product?
Plugin architecture, cross-platform, log highlighting, complex workflows... they're all there.
What do you dislike about the product?
Pricing model. Want to make use of delegated running of jobs; need an expensive seat license to do it. How about a simple change? Unlimited job executors, seat-licensed job creators. That'd make continuing with the enterprise license a much easier sell to the bean counters.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Coordinating production work between Amazon services, PostgreSQL databases, Windows and Linux servers. Providing ops staff with the ability to do systems operations on databases and production servers. Use AD signon to reduce authorisation complexity for staff.

What do you dislike about the product?
There are still some missing features I need and takes a long time to add them.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Running automations on multiple servers from a centralized location.
Most of my team members don't like running scripts or other tools via command line, so rundeck's UI is a great solution for them to run automations and reduces the load off of me.

Experience with Rundeck
What do you like best about the product?
Ease of Use. Every organization need a tool which can provide the following:
1. Allow sysadmins to do their daily Administration work easily.
2. Allow easy and quick Automation.
And Rundeck provides these two functionality.

What do you dislike about the product?
Basic Authentication mechanism which is saving the servers list with hostname & username in config file. For a organization where everyday new servers are getting provisioned this is a headache. I know we can chef or salt plugin to automate this but those two plugins doesn't have very good documentation like how to handlesalt return response parsers etc. because of which very hard to implement and unfortunately rundeck support is also not very helpful when you approach to them how to implement it.

The above plugins are comunity plugins and they must be rundeck official plugins with good tutorial on how to implement these.
