IBM Runbook Automation vs Shuffle

IBM Runbook Automation has no write-up on Specifiction yet; its figures are above.

Shuffle is an open-source automation platform for security teams to build and run workflows. Its visual designer works with a no-code app creator that can generate integrations from Swagger or OpenAPI specifications and API documentation URLs. The public catalog contains more than 2,500 apps, including Slack, Gmail, MISP, Wazuh, Splunk, and Jira. Workflows can start through webhooks, schedules, subflows, or user input; extension triggers include AWS Lambda, AWS S3, Kafka, and Pub/Sub.

Deployment choices include self-hosted open source, self-hosted licensed software, Shuffle Cloud, and hybrid setups. Documented runtime architectures include Docker Compose, Docker Swarm, a cloud-hybrid local Orborus runner, and Kubernetes with Helm charts. Shuffle documents bcrypt password hashing, AES-256 encryption, tenant-controlled SAML/SSO and MFA, and a Bearer-token API. The free Scale plan is free and includes 2,000 app runs per month, with a hard limit, three tenants, and one location. Custom Python apps are not yet easy to create for Shuffle Cloud, though on-premises instances support local app hotloading.
