We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The product is good functionality-wise. I am impressed with the tool's flexibility in customization.""It has reduced the time taken to go to market. In the past, we were struggling with building these integrations, but now the process has sped up and there is an added advantage of quick delivery. In addition, it is an agent-less solution, which provides more flexibility in terms of multiple options.""It's very stable. If you ask me for the success rate metrics, it's more than 90% for both."

"The product’s most valuable feature is its ability to provide environmental security.""The automation functionality has been most valuable. With a click of a button, we are able to automate provisioning, the build of new hardware and apply patches. These are all extremely important and differentiated tasks that can be automated in SaltStack.""The ability to programmatically describe the desired state of a single, or an entire fleet of servers, on-premises, and in a cloud environment.""SaltStack has given us the ability to deal with systems at scale and rectify issues at scale.""I want to build automation that is intelligent, part of the fabric of our environment, and is somewhat self-sustaining. I think SaltStack can help me do this.""We monitor the configurations against CIS standards. We run CIS benchmarks and maintain configurations with higher CIS values for each server.""It is a highly stable solution."

Cons

It needs to have better administration features in future releases.""There were a lot of scalability issues that we initially faced.
