Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Puppet is a great tool. Puppet used in conjunction with other open sourced tools makes VM automation work like magic.
It is currently in development, but will hopefully make it out to be used throughout the organization.

There are few business problems, mainly with the limitation in support for open sourced software, which would be solved by using the closed sourced counterpart, but that would defeat the purpose of open source...

If people helping people is a powerful thing... then Puppet helping Puppet is also a very powerful thing.

Pros

Plays well with other open sourced software
A generally accepted open sourced tool for automation
Easy to understand
It is most importantly free

Cons

Support... support.... support
Does not always work well with other software

Likelihood to Recommend

Currently Puppet can be suited to be used in any application that is redundant.
The coding is easy to understand and can be as complex as you make it.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Puppet Data Center Automation as a configuration management tool in our organization. It allows us to maintain a constant baseline as well as make easy updates across many servers.

Pros

Maintain a solid baseline across many servers.
Apply updates to many servers.
Easy to make changes all in one place rather than on 50 servers.

Cons

No GUI for non sys-admin users.
Ruby syntax is troubling at times.
No automated deployment.

Likelihood to Recommend

Puppet Data Center Automation is more suited for many servers. It is less appropriate for a one server architecture.
