Likewise is soon to be included in vsphere[1]. I have gone thru using both cfengine and puppet, cfengine is my preferred configuration management as its very lightweight. But puppet is much easier to learn. Both use pull and push model to distribute configuration changes to agents, but the preferred is pull model. If you plan to make use of puppet consider using the newer versions, older versions uses xml-rpc that consumes to much memory and prone to memory leaks, REST is now being implemented.
