We're just spinning up Puppet with The Foreman frontend, and it looks quite powerful and useful. It's beneficial in that the FLOSS version also has well behaved Windows clients...

Large puppet community at Fermilab--I started using it a few months ago 
and have been able to get productive and do a lot of things with it
very quickly.  Many of its config files are written in a Ruby-like syntax 
so Ruby training pays off with faster learning time.
