Revolutionary Platform to Automate tasks!
What do you like best about the product?
With the help of Red Hat Ansible Automation, we can doing many task on many machine at a time and preparing machine for testing is now so easy with Ansible. No extra efforts required. Reducing timely efforts to prepare test machines environment for our work. simply write playbook for tasks and Ansible automatically execute them so every configuration can be handle by it.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing to dislike yet, all the features are sufficient to work.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Using Red Hat Ansible Automation platform, preparing test machines become so easy and helping to reduce time to setup work environment. It is best suited to configure lab environment with minimal time duration.the best feature of Red Hat Ansible Automation framework is to configure many machine with one script. Environment setup for lab testing is taking too much time without Red Hat Ansible Automation. due to this platform, productivity is getting higher. It implies benefits in work.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Red Hat Ansible Automation is best platform to reduce timely efforts and helps in many tasks within time duration. It is perfect platform for configuring many machine at a time. I recommended to all that this is the perfect suitable platform to all tasks.
Useful IT configuration software
What do you like best about the product?
Makes applications and systems easier to deploy. It also uses a very simple boilerplate for this implementation that is easy to scale and upgrade with little Ansible knowledge. Uses its own yaml language which has little to no learning curve. Helpful and attractive output logging. Also supported by RedHat!
What do you dislike about the product?
Probably not as much documentation on it as one would prefer.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Some of the terminology can be a bit confusing and no built-in GUI. Benefits include easy to pick up and learn, very little learning curve. Very useful and easy to scale and do a multitude of different tasks with.
Relatively small learning curve, incredibly powerful at the amazing price of free
What do you like best about the product?
Ansible makes managing a large number of network devices incredibly easy and fast. Using ansible I've been able to make changes to our network infrastructure at a pace that no one else at our company has been able to previously. I've modified and endured consistent configuration across 11 datacenters and 7000+ network devices in a single day.
What do you dislike about the product?
The hardest thing to get past is the change in mindset and getting people onboard. You will have we to stop thinking about what the infrastructure currently looks like and start thinking about what do you want it to look like.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It has acted as a force multiplier and fundamentally changed the way we administer our fleet of network devices. It's allowed us to execute massive changes very quickly and repeatedly without human error and helped us ensure that our configuration is consistent across multiple environments which helps us deliver reliable infrastructure that can meet our clients demanding SLAs.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you need an agentless configuration management tool for network devices this is pretty much the only player in that market, but if you're looking for configuration management on the server side there are a few options each with their own advantages & disadvantages
Easy and amazing
What do you like best about the product?
I enjoy the adaptability, with proper code organization you can automate any process you want at any difficulty. The ease to set up Ansible, being an agent-less tool. You can get started without installing any software on the target machine where you would like to run your automation. Ansible is an amazing tool who allows to automating SysAdmin tasks like a big performance of the same events or managing updates.
What do you dislike about the product?
Support for windows settings are restrained, it is still better than previous versions but there is still a lot of work to do.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Ansible has allowed me to implement very complex automation in a clean, reusable manner.
Great solution for devops and continuum integration
What do you like best about the product?
Ansible Tower helped our team to automize testing applications and continuum development, it was a great choice for us.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes the integration could be a little bit difficult we did not found many documentation specially when we tried to integrate the solution with other one.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Automatic deployment is now a reality in our company and we did it just with Ansible tower
Ansible is awesome!
What do you like best about the product?
Ease of configuring large environment and built in module availability
What do you dislike about the product?
You can’t start at a specific task when it lives inside a role
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Mass configuration standardization
Devops Enginner
What do you like best about the product?
Creating the ansible template and running the playbook from the template in tower
What do you dislike about the product?
Need to create separate project to use the different branch.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Automate the deployment process
Recommendations to others considering the product:
its greet tool to use. it lets you run the playbook from the UI
An awesome tool for automated deployment
What do you like best about the product?
Ansible is a very easy to use tool. it has modules with almost everything eg. Shell, MySQL. Etc. It is YAML based and very easy to use. It only takes 3hours to learna and start writing your playbooks.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is nothing which I dislike about ansible. May be it can improve on it's documentation a bit and develop a UI for better tooling
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Automated deployment plus continuous integration and continuous deployment capabilities. Benefits are pretty visibly in terms of ease of use, simplicity, fast performance, compatibility with other frameworks.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I think if you are looking to automat your deployment process, you should definitely look into ansible. There are other tools as well , but it is a very simple took based on YAML. And it reduces the amount of coding to a great extent. Just use the syntax as mentioned in the documentation and you are good
The Swiss Army knife of automation scripting. My favorite automation tool.
What do you like best about the product?
- Great flexibility, with proper code organization you can automate any process you want at any complexity!
- Ansible is very easy to setup, being an agent-less tool. You can get started without installing any software on the target machine where you would like to execute your automation
- Great abstractions: roles (modules), inventory hosts and groups, facts (node information) and group-level as well as host-level variables. You can implement very complex automations in a very clean approach with Ansible abstractions.
- A lot of modules available at your disposal. From simple file copying, to templated files, to services and packages management. You will probably forget bash syntax after using Ansible for awhile. Well, you can also use bash to accomplish tasks that do not have modules for.

What do you dislike about the product?
There are very little cons, but here are some cons that by design:
- Due to lack of centralized server, you cannot orchestrate automations that span multiple nodes asynchronously. You can still run a playbook against all nodes of the cluster, but if there are inter-dependencies, then all hosts must be included in the playbook and you have to implement some logic to resolve those dependencies. By contract, when using a centralized tool like Chef, you can fetch information from centralized data structures which can be populated asynchronously.
- Also due to simplicity, Ansible does not handle playbook versioning, it's something that you have to implement on your own.

Complex automations. It greatly allowed us to implement very complex automations in clean, reusable manner.
