Puppet Enterprise Other Solutions Considered

BS
Systems Engineer at Harvard University

We evaluated Ansible — it's also good. The way Ansible works is a bit different than the way Puppet work. That's where we struggled with Ansible. Ansible is the kind of solution that only requires a one-time configuration. If we want to build a new server, we can easily build it with Ansible and Ansible will do all the work for us, but it's the compliance part that was missing from Ansible — it wasn't a built-in functionality. With Puppet, if you have built a server and someone changes something, within 15 minutes, Puppet will run and revert the changes. So, it's the compliance part that we like about Puppet.
