A quick glance at the documentation would seem to indicate that this is very similar to Ansible or any of the other major configuration management tools (Chef, Puppet etc). I'm not quite sure why you would use this over one of those.

When I need to know which servers have an specific parameter in a file (for instance), and get a report sorted by operating system and server name, not displaying the servers where the file doesn't exit, I wouldn't use Ansible, I would use CollectNode. It is the perfect complement for Ansible. The big point of CollectNode is that is very quick and very focused on reports, making very easy take the information wanted with the format best fits your necessities.
