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.
