These are great ways to massively overcomplicate your system. Generally speaking, having encountered these tools, do not use them unless you're willing to dedicate about 2x the time you would otherwise spend administering the system.



Just because you had difficulty does not mean you should give such advice to others. There is nothing difficult about configuring any of these systems if you know what you are doing.


Time consuming & tedious & error-prone != difficult.
