Ansible automation has been excellent at helping to automated basic operations tasks.
What do you like best about the product?
The platform has lots of documentation that makes it easy to find what I want and what I need. Once I have everything set up it is very easy to test the code that has been written.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are times where finding the exact thing that I need is difficult and getting things to work the way I want just doesn't exist and needs to be created by hand either through custom modules, or using shell commands.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It makes it easy to scale up to numerous servers when the actions that need to be performed across servers are the same.

Automate That Stuff!
What do you like best about the product?
AAP makes my life easier because I am a lazy engineer! If there is ever a configuration task that I have to do more than once, I use AAP to get it done. Even if I may only do something once, chances are there is a playbook for it, just incase I ever have to do it again.
What do you dislike about the product?
The disconnect between Hashi TF and AAP. These two products are awesome when used together and a tighter integration between them is not only a need, but it is mandatory!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
AAP allows me to automate my environment, taking hours and days down to minutes. This, in turn, allows me to focus on novel problems and innovations.
Control config drift
What do you like best about the product?
We use it primarily to control configuration drift. A nightly run resets a lot of system settings to comply with internal standards
What do you dislike about the product?
I do not have any dislikes with the platform.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
System owners change settings that make systems non-compliant. Ansible resets those settings
Ansible - the all purpose tool
What do you like best about the product?
The wide range of use cases that Ansible supports. Especially event driven automation with IT / OT monitoring solutions,
What do you dislike about the product?
Not much in the tool itself. I'd prefer the component name's didn't change every year...
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Every place a client desires to automate a process of respond to know conditions, Ansible has been the tool to deliver this capability.
It's an improvement on Tower, but still needs work
What do you like best about the product?
Integration with git is excellent and invaluable for easy maintenance of playbooks. Secrets management is trustworthy.
What do you dislike about the product?
Setup/configuration is overly complicated, and navigation in the GUI can be unfriendly and the terminology jargony, even for those with a lot of experience.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Most of my team is fairly proficient in Ansible, so this, combined with git, allows us to use each other's playbooks, and it ensures that our most-frequently-used playbooks are kept up-to-date. As with all automation, the primary problem is the ever-increasing expectation of productivity and perfection.

Ease of use and easy to deploy. I have been able to integrate with numerous other products to resolve issues before the customer knows there is an issue.

not really anything but apparently I have to type something here
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Currently I am resolving massive audit needs for out auditing department and minimizing admin time by 40 hours a week.

AAP Review 2025
What do you like best about the product?
It provides security for managing keys and pass phrases, allows many users to run templates, and provides a great work flow to run playbooks. AAP makes it easy to run ansible playbooks.
What do you dislike about the product?
It would be nice for templates to be organized in a better manner. Now they are all listed on a single page and requires searching.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Help automate deployments and configurations to make them consistent and repeatable.
Ansible Automation Platform has been the most flexible platform for automation journey
What do you like best about the product?
The flexibility of Ansible as a tool has been very helpful as it hasn't limited us to interacting with current tooling across our environment, and instead has allowed us to write automation against any tools quickly and easily, often with a pre-built module.
What do you dislike about the product?
The lack of dynamic survey inputs or a more user focused portal
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Server build automation, server decommission, moving data across networks to offline networks, task scheduling and execution
Easy to deploy in test and development environments on a single server.
What do you like best about the product?
I liked how easy it was to deploy on top of RHEL 9.
