Rundeck is a awesome tool for devops environments

  • November 25, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
- Cronjobs
- Create custom menus
- Plugins, special mention to AWS EC2 support.
What do you dislike about the product?
- I believe the documentation could be clearer
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
- Deploys in multiple servers at same time
- Helping teams gain greater infrastructure provisioning autonomy
- Simple tasks like installing security updates
Recommendations to others considering the product:
1. The Rundeck community in Brazil could be present at meetings like Devops Day, Summit, RoadSec and other meetups in order to increase visibility and consequently the number of users.

2. Documentation could be clearer, especially regarding access permissions (ACLs).

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.

Great software that empowers teams to get things done

  • November 25, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

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.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
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!

The secret sauce to delegate automation maintenance

  • November 25, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Rundeck allow us to delegate access to complex scripts/tasks so anyone can change and run but keeping full accounting and every output from the task for every time it was run. It supports to load node selection from anything so with smart selection even if the infra grows or reduce it size tasks won't need to be changed.
What do you dislike about the product?
Only thing I dislike is that it was written in Java, but not because of rundeck, I always dislike java. Thankfully the tasks for rundeck do not require any java knowledge or interaction.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Batch processes, Automation scripts, App Maintenance jobs, Complex apps with multinode/multidc deployment, etc.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Try it, you won't regret it.

Best tool in market for automating Operations

  • November 25, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Many reasons to like Rundeck few of them are great plugins, nice UI, Continuously evolving and super active dev team. Makes life easier for Operations.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wouldn't say dislike but i would definitely like to see some improvements in heartbeat features, Running standalone java plugins. While using rundeck in a cluster mode, log viewing experience can be improved. Currently in cluster mode, If job is running in one instance of a cluster, The other instance is not able to view the logs.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As a part of rundeck implementation we are automatic, Server Rebuild process for Stores. We are also automating operation works as in Server Restart, Server Health Check etc.

Fantastic tool, free, updates are great, never had any issues

  • November 25, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
User friendly, quick to setup, but easy to maintain. It's about as easy (or easier) to set up and get running as a cron job but the functionality is much better. Great community as well.

The genius in the product is how easy it is to get started. You can go from 0-hero in less than an hour, and that's amazing for a lot of these Linux software packages.

I really like the way you can setup projects for each piece of your work. My work spans a wide area and it's nice to be able to organize it. Also, getting emails for failed jobs is AMAZING. Sure, you can do that with cron jobs but why? This is way easier.
What do you dislike about the product?
Any issues I have had have all been resolved by new features. Currently I have no issues.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am a sole dev and I didn't want something that would be maintenance heavy. I also needed something that could help me automate a lot of my work. Rundeck did all of those things and has continued to be a fantastic software that gets better over time.

Rundeck offer lots of amazing features with the plugins integrations.
With only the community version, you can manage almost every dailly tasks in few minutes.

But most of all, you can protect your intellectual property by not leaving your scripts on the targeted servers, they are deleted after execution !

There are no real downsides except the rates of the updates...
The workflow is not intuitive.
Security and encryption should be improved also.

Can create an API for everything

  • November 25, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I like how with rundeck you can create API URL's to execute your jobs.
You can create jobs with any type of programming language (bash, ansible, python, powershell and more) and generate an API for that job.
What do you dislike about the product?
That Rundeck doesn't have a dark theme. I prefer scripting in dark so it will be cool to also see my jobs on a dark theme.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Right now I'm using it only to generate URL's for all my jobs, but I know it can do a lot more and I will try it.
