Founder of https://commando.io here. Cockpit looks nice, but we take a little different approach. We are a web-based interface to manage servers via SSH. You write "recipes" which are simply scripts in shell, bash, perl, python, ruby, go, or node.js and choose a server or group of servers to execute recipes on. The complete output (stdout and stderr) is then stored and logged providing a nice audit trail of who executed what, when, where, and why. We are currently in free open beta.

That sounds more interesting.

I'm not looking for a a monolithic solution, but something in which I can integrate all of our current scripts, third party tools, semi-manual processes and what have you.

In the real world, server management is a mix of tons of little tools and procedures, usually run over SSH.

However, handing SSH access to our systems to a third party SaaS tools scares the crap out of me.

You're not alone. It's one of the reasons I'm a bit sad that open-source development of commando.io ceased in favour of their SaaS version.
