Reviewer Insights for: Puppet Enterprise

Performance of Puppet Enterprise Across Market Features

Puppet Enterprise Likes & Dislikes

The implementation of technology on single node , but the coverage of the impact is high. The utility is quite impactful to cover a number of systems in one go. Less bandwidth usage.

Puppet is a robust and reliable system. There are a lot of modules available for different operating systems, applications and databases from puppetlabs as well as from puppet community which make it easy to add those systems into our configuration management without having to develop them yourself.

I like most service because using with puppet we can install any service in different nodes using cookbooks.

The notification and errors still needs improvement. The errors are still in coding language and sometimes hard to understand.

Limited support for microsoft windows operating system

For using Puppet I need to install agent in every node.

Keeps your infrastructure at well defined state, but can become complicated to maintain

Apr 15, 2019

The idea of centralized configuration management is very good and sound, and Puppet can assist you in achieving this. However given the flexibility of the tool one must be careful in designing the solution before coming up with implementation.
