I thought I would ask what people are using now and why? We are starting to evaluate CFEngine because a colleague of mine decided on that. I am not convinced that this is necessarily the best choice.
We have approximately 400 odd clients, though I would image with the 4-6 domains we have spread around we would have a master config server at each domain so I am not overly concerned about loading down one box with 400 clients.
I have read the reports from the CFEngine employee who showed that puppet stressed the CPU of the master (after 100 clients) far more than CFEngine.
What do you use and why?

Hi all,
I have been digging through my back catalog of studiosysadmins emails and I found the "cool tools for unix" thread from mid 2012.I thought I would ask what people are using now and why?
