Nautobot as a platform has accelerated our delivery of network automation and self-services to our organization, with its vast array of powerful jobs, external integrations and API capabilities, we've been able to interface seamlessly with other teams' pipelines and workflows to create an automation framework and development lifecycle capable of rapid delivery of new offerings. Working with their professional services team to help road-map, architect and rapidly deploy our automation framework was worth the value of every penny spent (which wasn't bad either); Network to Code has some really outstanding developers and engineers available to support your project deliverables, they have been nothing short of incredible. The flexibility in different delivery methods and services offered has helped make Nautobot a critical part of our team's automation solutions, and they have been a great partner to our team and organization - all while providing exceptional value on a strict budget - I can't recommend them enough!
Nautobot is very customizable and works well; the available open-source apps are a plus (Design Builder, BGP models, SSoT, GoldenConfig) and allow you to save a lot of time in order to meet the specific needs of customers.
I value the customizability and adaptability of Nautobot above all else. I appreciate that there are several ways to accomplish any goal, whether it be fully using Nautobots native capabilities or augmenting it to integrate with other platforms. The plugins are also a reason I believe Nautobot stands out among other SoT's.
Our experience is limited to on-premise VM Nautobot, in HA, but updating the deployment of the platform can be complex and at times confusing (we deploy the platform via code). As is the way with open-source, vulnerabilities are present and sometimes patches rely on underlying binaries getting updates etc... Sometimes integrations don't work right out of the box, and can require custom code updates on the systems.
We commissioned the Network to Code service to provide expertise, define the architecture, and develop customizations and use cases for our client for a production deployment. The result was a commitment of means rather than results, insufficient resources allocated, particularly for architecture, poor development quality, and a product only suitable for a demonstration and not meeting the production requirements.
My main complaint about this product would have to be its lack of depth in some less prioratized areas. For our environment, for example, we are unable to fully model network connections because our existing source of truth for interconnects uses single strand modeling whereas Nautobot does not. While I'm sure there are many more important focuses on the roadmap, some smaller quality of life imrpovements would be very beneficial to us.
