I have used RailsAdmin for a couple of projects now, have found it great 
for basic CRUD operations.

It is probably even less flexible (and thus faster to set up) than Active 
Admin, but it covers most of the situations we need (data entry, 
relationships, image uploads, wysiwyg, enum fields) and I find it a great 
starting point to use until the project requires a fully custom admin 
interface. It also nicely integrates with Devise, CanCan, Carrierwave etc 
so it's a great bolt on solution great for 80% of projects.

At the very least I would say it only takes about 10 minutes to set up, so 
worth checking out to see if it's good enough for your needs.
