I've used Cfengine 2 at a couple of places (a while ago), Puppet at my
previous job, and Ansible now; I really like Ansible, although some of
that may be shiny new relationship energy. It's easy to do simple things,
and possible to do hard things. The docs are generally good, although I
sometimes find that they give examples without explaining exactly what the
examples do, assuming that it's just obvious -- which it often is, but I
feel like sometimes more details of which parts of the example do what
would help. But it's generally pretty easy to use, and possibly easier if
you *don't* come in with a lot of preconceptions about how configuration
management is "supposed to" work, which can lead one to try make it work
exactly like whatever other CM system you're used to, and that's not
really the right approach.
