Resolve Onboarding and Offboarding Automation vs StackStorm

Resolve Onboarding and Offboarding Automation coordinates employee lifecycle changes across HR, identity, and IT systems. Onboarding workflows can create accounts, assign entitlements, provision email, VPN, and SaaS applications, deliver software, and notify managers and new hires. Offboarding can disable accounts, revoke tokens, reclaim licenses, trigger device wipes or locks, archive mailboxes, and record actions. HRIS or identity-provider events can start workflows, with actions based on role, location, and department; manual submissions through RITA are also available. The workflow checks licensing, inventory, and access states, flags exceptions with diagnostics, and updates CMDB, ITSM, HRIS, and audit systems. Resolve names AD, Azure AD, and Okta for account creation. Its open integration framework connects custom or legacy tools through REST APIs, SNMP, SSH, TCP, SMTP, or SOAP. The paid product runs through API, self-hosted, and web deployments; pricing is on request.

StackStorm is a free, open-source platform for integrating services and automating responses to events. Rules connect triggers to actions or workflows, and workflows can combine actions into multi-step automations. Sensors and actions link external systems; listed examples include webhooks, SSH, REST calls, OpenStack, Docker, Puppet, Sensu, and JIRA. StackStorm Exchange offers ready-made integration packs, and users can create and share packs of their own. Action records include triggering context and results, while audit logs can connect to Logstash, Splunk, statsd, and syslog. Administrators can use role-based access control to limit users’ access and operations. The platform includes a Web UI, CLI client, REST API, and Python client bindings. It is self-hosted and distributed as Linux RPMs and Debs or Docker images; deployment documentation also covers Vagrant/OVA, Ansible, Puppet, and Kubernetes. Supported systems are 64-bit Ubuntu and RHEL, Rocky Linux, or CentOS. Other Linux distributions, Windows, and Apple OSX are not officially supported. Listed uses include remediation, continuous deployment, ChatOps, and automated security response.
