CFEngine is great if you need to manage a large heterogenous fleet of different UNIX flavors like HP-UX,AIX,Solaris,Linux.

Have used it at AT&T and it's been great.

While of course large networks of heterogeneous nodes is where CFEngine really shines, do not dismiss its use in smaller scale.

Especially since the Enterprise edition is free for up to 25 nodes.

One can use CFEngine for managing a dozen of Linux boxes very efficiently!
