What users say about Spotter

"Spotter transforms our automation process by identifying and mitigating potential issues before execution, reducing errors, and boosting productivity. It's not just a tool – it's a catalyst for revolutionizing how we manage and perceive automation."

Miguel Esteban,

CEO, Computer Space

"Spotter shines when it comes to writing new playbooks, following best practices and fixing errors in existing playbooks automatically. All in all, it saves so much time. It’s just easy as cake."

Andreas Hering,

System Engineer, Deutsche Telekom MMS

"Spotter can help my customers go from Ansible 2.9 to 2.13/14. It can help them find FQCN for modules, as they are having a hard time finding them, and can also help with any changed parameters. Spotter is easy to use and expand upon."

Jason,
