Puppet Enterprise Reviews & Product Details - Page 2

Puppet enterprise has phenomenal services that allow you to easily bring your infrastracture from a simple CI pipeline to a CD pipeline with the orchestrator and code manager. It's awesome to have PR's that get merged into our production branch make their way from source control all the way to our production nodes without any intervention. It's a huge devops enabler.

The thing i dislike about puppet enterprise is they lack examples of how people in big companies are using puppet enterprise in an automated fashion. Their docs just show and explain examples using clickops in the PE console. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The best thing I like about using puppet is that it reduces the amount of time spent building and deploying software. A team of 3 can do the work of a team of 8 if they properly use puppet. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is sometimes very hard to move between the community edition and Enterprise edition. Choose carefully when your first starting out. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Simple language to design modules.Less work to document my modules, the code is the documentation. Many modules or template available for faster deployment of new features. I use the API to connect to other automation tools. Also usable to deploy settings an application to a local machine without a puppet sever. Quick deployment of test environments. One written modules are portable to other systems and can be shared with the community. Very good community support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The Puppet Enterprise Dashborad is not my favorite tool. There are simpler and faster ways to manage Puppet. For this i wrote my own Dashboard and use the API. Only one usable IDE to design puppet modules. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Working for a data company, we're always pushing the envelope on data visualizations. We love Reflect's responsiveness in the data management tools that let us push evolutionary changes for specific customers at a moment's notice. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We would love more hosted solutions that don't need ANY engineering on our side. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Not really a ding but another totally new software package to learn as it is quickly infiltrating our entire enterprise. :) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Stable Releases, Feature delivery each release, Forge is active, Comparable to other products in the market, proven use case at large companies. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Too many commands focus on running locally on the enterprise server. Because the Enterprise server can only run on RHEL/CentOS it deters usages from other OS teams. A competitor product, Chef, works around this by offering a quality client-side binary, knife, and cloud/saas version. The cloud might be Linux only, the enterprise is still a heterogeneous operating system environment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The ease of use, quality support, and continued, aggressive, development cycle are some of the strongest attributes that PE offers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There could be a lot more functionality built into the web interface. What you can do is great, but a lot is missing, for example, renewing the certificate that PE UI uses isn't as trivial as it should be. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It takes good amount of work to implement and Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The puppet forge is an amazing resource. Being able to find modules for just about every product is awesome. The ease of mirroring in modules for a quick test is great. The new Tasks feature is a great addition. I was very disappointed when the mcollective interface was removed, I found that quite useful, but it seems that Tasks are going to be a great addition.

I wish the report page in the console was more detailed. It's difficult to find one single resource in the report. As an example looking at the file resources you may have hundreds of resources and there doesn't seem to be any obvious way to filter that quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
