What do you like best about SUSE Manager?

It's a swiss army knife: it allows me to bootstrap new systems, completely automate the configuration of all systems in my environment (using pre-made and custom salt states), completely automate the repository updates and much more. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SUSE Manager?

The upgrade procedure could work a little better... From time to time i do run into problems (especially when a postgres upgrade is also necessary) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's a huge time-saver and it makes sure i end up with a completely configured, up-to-date, patched uniform landscape. It assists me in every step: from the initial setup up untill the decomissioning of systems. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about SUSE Manager?

The SUSE Manager offers a good startpoint to manage Linux systems in your network, even if you are not a linux administrator. The most important maintenance work like updates can be done easily using the webinterface.

But also professionals can automate almost everything using the cli-tools or api and connect own applications/tools. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SUSE Manager?

Sometimes the way of integrations works against the flexibility the integrated tools (salt, cobbler) normally offer. But this is a must be to get everything in a nice api/web-ui bundled for everybody.

If you need something more special you need to use the cli and fiddle a bit around the integration. But it can be done. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is SUSE Manager solving and how is that benefiting you?

The main part ist patching/updating the systems. Using software staging is very easy with the susemanager and so we can test all new updates on test systems before installing them in production.

The second part is automation/configuration management using salt. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
