We used the open source components of SUSE Manager before which helped - but SUSE Manager merged them together and made working with the tools a lot easier.

For us we prefer SUSE because we have the SAP S/4HANA as a separate project so i can't judge which is better

I have tested and evaluated Uyuni, which is basically the upstream version of SUSE Manager. We opted for SUSE Manager because we like to have a stable release that is regularly updated and has full support from our vendor.

I tested Ansible as well, but the product doesn't really compare to SUSE Manager. Ansible is basically defining states for your systems and pushing them. SUSE Manager is a complete one-stop shop for everything a system administrator wants to do to effectively manage their …

In our specific use case, SUSE Manager is extremely useful. We're having a large landscape that is divided into intake, development, quality and production with a couple of different SUSE flavours that need to be automatically rolled out, configured, patched and maintained, everything from up to date repositories that are cloned on a daily basis straight from SUSE.

  • Use salt to its fullest extent, including pre-generated states that make installation and configuration very easy.
  • Manage repositories.
  • Make it easy to audit our own infrastructure.
  • Make it easy to bootstrap new systems.

Cons
No answers on this topic
  • The cloning of patches when using the content lifecycle module in a multi-environment landscape with many SLES flavours is a bit cumbersome.
  • More premade saltstate for default applications are always nice to have.
  • Upgrading SUMA could be easier, especially when a Postgres upgrade is also required.

I am expanding the use of SUSE Manager throughout our organization and can't imagine going back to the "wild wild west" we had before.

Usability

The gui is extremely user friendly. The installation and configuration does have a learning curve, it takes a while to set everything up. But once you're passed this initial learning curve, everything is very intuitive. If you want extra automation, there's an api (eventough i personally find the documentation of the api could be ordered better). I gave this product a 9 because of the initial learning curve and the api documentation, but for the rest it suits my needs perfectly.

SUSE Manager provided a top-tier support person on site to us for two days to help integration. We did all the standard stuff they help with before he arrived. We were able to use him to get all the tricky stuff identified and solved in the short time we had. Had they sent us a lower-tier guy, it would have been a waste. I was impressed they sent such knowledgeable person.

The other competitors also have a good platform and service, but we went with SUSE due to cost. The price was best and we needed to keep under a certain budget. The functionality was perfect for what we needed so we took the step forward. This allows us to manage our Linux environment within the manager and update or deploy specific tasks to each as needed.
