Used mainly to maintain a bunch of SUSE for SAP machines (physical and virtual) along with a few virtual Red Hat systems. Eases the deployment of security patches as soon as they become available and helps with periodical updates.
Pros
Eases keep Patching Cycle up to date.
Manages not only SUSE, but other distros too.
Support for Ansible, besides the SaltStack, provides all the tools needed.
Cons
Some minor issues dealing with underlying postgres updates.
Procedure to add new channels require some care.

SUSE Manager allows to manage the update cycle centralizing all information in a convenient way. It's an essential tool when dealing with more than 10 to 20 systems. In environments with less than 20 systems the resources consumed by SUSE Manager maybe are not worth, against setting up a more simple tool. Anyway it gives a good overview of all systems.
