What do you like best about the product?
The ease of setup using the openshift operator. It is the swiss army knife of our red hat environment.
What do you dislike about the product?
Outside of support there are very few features and reasons to purchase tower vs AWX.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The single biggest problem AAP solves for us is deployment of new server resources. No matter if it is virtual, bare metal, or cloud resources AAP allows us to complete automate the setup and configuration of base operating systems. It is extremely easy to use and quick.

Helps automate complex tasks and saves a lot of time and money
What is our primary use case?
How has it helped my organization?
Ansible Automation Platform has saved a lot of time, man-hours, and money. Specifically for the upgrades, there have been a lot of time savings.
It keeps us in compliance. It helps with compliance drifting and keeping us up to date with code.
It helps to reduce the number of steps involved in automating things. Everything is performed consistently every time. There are no missed steps. If you do it manually, you might miss a step. With Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform, it is just the same every time, which is good.
Ansible Automation Platform does not reduce the training required to learn how to automate things. There is a lot more overhead and a lot more training to teach how to use Ansible.
Ansible Automation Platform helps connect teams, such as developers, operations, or security so that they can automate together. Our engineering team can now collaborate or work with our operations team. We build the Ansible solution, and they run the solution. There is more teamwork.
We use the collection of certified content. It is 80% there for helping to quickly add automation to our systems. It is decent.
Ansible Automation Platform has helped to reduce the time we spend on low-value or repetitive tasks by 80%.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
We have not used any other similar solution.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
It is a little pricey but it is affordable. It is not that bad.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
We did not evaluate any other solution.
What other advice do I have?
I would rate Ansible Automation Platform a ten out of ten. It has helped us go from manual to automation. We are still far away, but it is getting us on the right path. It is getting us there. It is great.
