Human resources often fall short in fulfilling this objective. However, IT managers can move closer to this goal with automation, but how can they apply different automation to major IT functions?   [ ![Tian Lin](/assets/transparent-ad5be28fbcd25b7b08d2cebe1d957125437fb5407d75ee717965ad22c8808791.gif "Tian Lin") TL ](https://learn.g2.com/author/tian-lin) by Tian Lin [![Site Reliability Engineers and the Software That Supports Them](https://learn.g2.com/hubfs/G2CM_BI118_Backlog_Images_%5BAI_powered_iot%5D_V1a.png "Site Reliability Engineers and the Software That Supports Them")](https://www.g2.com/articles/site-reliability-engineers-and-sre-software) [ ### Site Reliability Engineers and the Software That Supports Them ](https://www.g2.com/articles/site-reliability-engineers-and-sre-software) Digital transformation efforts have become more like digital transformation mandates in the tech world ever since the COVID-19 pandemic made working from home the new normal. This has meant a rapid change in the B2B software landscape (although when has that not been the case?) as vendors rise to meet buyer demand for collaborative, hybrid technologies.  [ ![Adam Crivello](/assets/transparent-ad5be28fbcd25b7b08d2cebe1d957125437fb5407d75ee717965ad22c8808791.gif "Adam Crivello") AC ](https://learn.g2.com/author/adam-crivello) by Adam Crivello [![G2 on Cloud Security: Investigating the Risks of Cloud Computing](https://learn.g2.com/hubfs/G2CM_BI098_Backlog_Images_%5BCloud_computing_risks%5D_V1a.png "G2 on Cloud Security: Investigating the Risks of Cloud Computing")](https://www.g2.com/articles/investigating-risks-of-cloud-computing) [ ### G2 on Cloud Security: Investigating the Risks of Cloud Computing ](https://www.g2.com/articles/investigating-risks-of-cloud-computing) The rapid adoption of cloud computing services has given businesses a false sense of security when it comes to protecting their data.

Here’s what G2 data shows](/discussions/best-platforms-for-integrating-configuration-management-with-devops-here-s-what-g2-data-shows) I’m helping a few DevOps and platform engineering teams tighten how configuration management fits into their CI/CD workflows. The focus is on reducing manual work, avoiding drift, and keeping infra changes aligned with releases. So I dug into **G2 data for the** [](https://www.g2.com/categories/configuration-management)[**Configuration Management Tools category**](https://www.g2.com/categories/configuration-management) to see which platforms consistently come out on top when DevOps integration really matters. Sharing this here in case it helps others—and would love to hear real-world experiences. **Top tools (based on G2 Score)** - [**ServiceNow IT Service Management**](https://www.g2.com/products/servicenow-it-service-management/reviews): _Best for:_ Enterprises that want configuration management deeply connected to ITSM, change management, and release workflows. - [**GitHub**](https://www.g2.com/products/github/reviews):_Best for:_ DevOps-first teams using Git as the source of truth for configuration, infrastructure-as-code, and automation. - [**Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform**](https://www.g2.com/products/red-hat-ansible-automation-platform/reviews): _Best for:_ Automating configuration changes across hybrid environments using repeatable playbooks. - [**BackBox**](https://www.g2.com/products/backbox/reviews): _Best for:_ DevOps teams managing network configurations alongside broader automation workflows. - [**Right Click Tools**](https://www.g2.com/products/right-click-tools/reviews): _Best for:_ Ops teams integrating configuration management into Windows-heavy DevOps environments. Anyone here using one of these as part of their DevOps toolchain? What’s worked and what’s been painful? How tightly do you expect configuration management to integrate with CI/CD—light touch or fully embedded?

TeamCity offers a more out-of-the-box, user-friendly experience. It provides a visual and intuitive interface for configuring builds, making it easier for both novice and experienced users. Jenkins, on the other hand, needs more manual configuration and plugins, making it harder to manage and support in more advanced and complex settings. By contrast, TeamCity requires far less maintenance and external plugin management because all of its functionality is available natively. Other key differentiators include intelligent build features, comprehensive reporting, and built-in pipeline optimization mechanisms, which save build time and resources.
