Automation tool for continuous environments

  • November 26, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Easily set up recurring and triggered jobs for your continuous integration systems and activities that require strict outcome checking. Make sure your workflow is running correctly and alert those responsible for specific tasks that unexpected results occured, so to proactively take measures.
What do you dislike about the product?
If in need of complex orchestrated flows, like running parallel and sequential tasks in the same job, you might have to look elsewhere. Initial configuration can be cumbersome, especially if your systems are on a intranet that for security reasons can't be accessed by the machine that is serving Rundeck.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We switched from a non-checked deploying and sync schedule to a well-defined schedule with strict outcome verification, leading to higher customer satisfaction and a more stable architecture. With Rundeck, we could make sure that business critical tasks were executed in the right order and taking the right steps to serve what the customer needed, getting rid both of issues they had had up until that moment and preventing future issues, derived from multiple systems being integrated with each other, from arising. In the occasion that unexpected results occured, be it due to software errors or temporary unavailability of the integrated services, those responsible of the running tasks can now be alerted so that the right measures can be taken to make sure no interruption happens.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Make sure you understand Rundeck workflows and your current infrastructure allows you to make use of the way it handles tasks on machines.

Best option to audit your operations

  • November 25, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

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.

What do you like best about the product?
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.
What do you dislike about the product?
I'm a bit concerned about the cost if we ever have to move to paid features. It gets expensive quite fast.

Lots of manual processes have been automated. Scripts that I would normally run manually can be run by teams in different departments
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you have scripts you run manually and you need teams to be able to kick off via a simple UI then this is the tool!
