If you’re looking for something other than puppet, there are a few great options out there.

Go for Ansible, Rudder, Attune, or Chef (I have personally tried them all).

1. ansible’s super easy to use, doesn’t need agents, and works with simple yaml files. 

2. rudder is nice if you want something with a visual interface for managing configs. 

3. attune is awesome for automating scripts like bash and powershell, and it’s really flexible with debugging and workflows. 

4. chef, which is powerful and uses ruby cookbooks for managing big setups. 

honestly, it just depends on what you’re trying to do and how you like to work.

Salt.

If you want an open source option - Rudder.

Generally, I see Puppet in the same area as Ansible, Salt, Chef en CFEngine. For cloud-oriented setups, you will also find TerraForm and CloudFormation. If you have experience with Puppet, I personally feel that Salt is the closest, but Ansible seems to be more popular.

We are currently using a manual process and want to know what other organisations are using for disk cleanup and shredding. We are thinking of purchasing Killdisk, but wanted to know what everyone else is using?

We currently have a Netwitness platform that we are using specifically for packet capture and network analysis only. No SIEM, no response, strictly just packet capture and network analysis. We are looking to replace it as is, meaning we are looking for recommendations for packet capture and network analysis tools. No SIEM, No SOAR, no EDR.  Can anyone suggest a tool that works similarly that is also a SaaS product?
