We use both as they solve different problems.  I don''t use any of the
OS
provisioning or metering in 12c as i use puppet for that but being that we
run a lot of oracle stuff, i use the oracle management tool packs quite
extensively.  We run puppet agents offline and use mcollective to
orchestrate all changes, that way there isn''t the burden of so many
agents
running on each host 100% of the time.. (Which was the biggest downfall of
Puppet + 12c)

What features are you looking to implement? What are you trying to solve?
do you already have 12c licensing? What is your vitalization or hardware
layer?
