Virtual Machine Creation Automation using Stackstorm and its various packs **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Varun B. | Grader, Information Technology and Services, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** February 01, 2019 **What do you like best about StackStorm?** This tool is awesome. It help you integrate any script you or others have made into a custom workflow or action or trigger. You can easily use the existing packs and action library of stackstorm and easily integrate with your own packs to extend functionality. Really easy to code ones understood. It is also open source. **What do you dislike about StackStorm?** 2 things, one, the documentation that I read, had a couple of issues you had to resolve yourself. Might neeed some Linux knowledge. Second, The workflows using ActionChains dont have direct branching mechanisms, like a if this then this kind of mechanism. You have a work around using Minstral and it works pretty fine after that. **Recommendations to others considering StackStorm:** Just go for it. Won't regret it. **What problems is StackStorm solving and how is that benefiting you?** Complete automation of VM creation and deletion and patching and endless other can be done. Also, while working, all the teams were making their own automation scripts. Instead of reusability of code, if some other team wanted to use a piece of code, they were constrained by the technology stack. Also, a lot of effort was wasted in rewriting the same code for other teams. Stackstrom improved the reusability of code! This way, a script written by someone in the network team could be used by someone else in the Database team. ## StackStorm Discussions - [What is StackStorm used for?](https://www.g2.com/discussions/what-is-stackstorm-used-for) - [View StackStorm pricing details and edition comparison](https://www.g2.com/products/stackstorm/reviews?section=pricing&secure%5Bexpires_at%5D=2026-05-15+10%3A42%3A16+-0500&secure%5Bsession_id%5D=edbf0aae-5b48-4390-80a8-b367956af022&secure%5Btoken%5D=0ae08e23ae985a490970228f53f1171811753252a0f984d8c5303579fe1666aa&format=llm_user) ## StackStorm Features **Automation Support - Runbook Automation** - Common Tool Integration - Scripting Language Support - Routine Task Automation - Automated Task Notifications **Error Management - Runbook Automation** - Runbook Procedure Updates - Recovery Options - Error Management in Automation **Customization - Runbook Automation** - Runbook Customization - Workflow Customization - Incident Response Customization **Compliance and Reporting - Runbook Automation** - Security Management - Compliance Standards Adherence - Reporting and Auditing **Performance - Runbook Automation** - Self-Service for Non-IT Staff - Team Collaboration Enhancement - Load Handling Performance **Agentic AI - Runbook Automation** - Autonomous Task Execution - Multi-step Planning - Cross-system Integration - Adaptive Learning - Natural Language Interaction - Proactive Assistance - Decision Making ## Top StackStorm Alternatives - [Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform](https://www.g2.com/products/red-hat-ansible-automation-platform/reviews) - 4.6/5.0 (369 reviews) - [PagerDuty](https://www.g2.com/products/pagerduty/reviews) - 4.5/5.0 (906 reviews) - [Control-M](https://www.g2.com/products/control-m/reviews) - 4.3/5.0 (148 reviews)
