What do you like best about the product?
Plugin architecture, cross-platform, log highlighting, complex workflows... they're all there.
What do you dislike about the product?
Pricing model. Want to make use of delegated running of jobs; need an expensive seat license to do it. How about a simple change? Unlimited job executors, seat-licensed job creators. That'd make continuing with the enterprise license a much easier sell to the bean counters.

Coordinating production work between Amazon services, PostgreSQL databases, Windows and Linux servers. Providing ops staff with the ability to do systems operations on databases and production servers. Use AD signon to reduce authorisation complexity for staff.

What do you dislike about the product?
There are still some missing features I need and takes a long time to add them.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Running automations on multiple servers from a centralized location.
Most of my team members don't like running scripts or other tools via command line, so rundeck's UI is a great solution for them to run automations and reduces the load off of me.
