The verbosing is not functioning properly.
No User interface and AWX is not the best easy thing to use.

Ansible makes sysadmin and sys building SOOOO Easy!
What do you like best about the product?
I really like how ansible already knows about how to deal with different platform-specific issues. I can use it for RedHat/CentOS as well as Debian/Ubuntu management and buids. I manage lots of different cloud-based servers, as well as physical servers in different infrastructure. Ansible is intelligent enough and powerful enough for me to write automatic build scripts that handle a variety of chores for me. If I do my part to think ahead and design the ansible script properly, it easy does its part to perform the tasks I give it.
What do you dislike about the product?
For whatever reason, I still don't find the YML syntax as intuitive. I would much rather prefer a structured form like a C struct or XML tagged structure. But that's just me.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I manage a LOT of platforms. At peak, I had over 1500 machines out in the wild at various cloud and physical infrastructure points. With ansible, I was able to finally take control of uniform system management tasks like adding users, applying patches, distributing code, testing code, etc across all of those end points, without having to individually login to each one.
Automate applications and continuous delivery
What do you like best about the product?
Development applications and connection point point from my main system to where I have my specific software stored and running.
What do you dislike about the product?
Performance problem of my main system with applications of different code.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Automated platform to execute sripts by ftp to remote server.
Ansible the easiest way ahead
What do you like best about the product?
Its free, very simple to use, no coding skill required. One can do end to end automation and easy to add GUI using jenkins.
Being an agentless tool, it also reduces the concern to check agents status every now and then.

What do you dislike about the product?
Till now i am fully satisfied with the tool and do not find any factor to dislike it. It's really easy and fully secure.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have automated the prechecks, postchecks, end to end patching of Linux servers, installation of various agents, user/group management and many more operation tasks
Recommendations to others considering the product:
You can use the tool for almost all operational and automation task. It requires no prior programming skill and is agentless. There are many useful adhoc commands which you will find easy to use as compared to the native for loop in bash script
Deployment made easy
What do you like best about the product?
Ansible is one of the best deployment tools out there that can deploy almost all different technology from C/C++ to all the latest stack like AWS, microservices etc. so you don't need to juggle between the tools and deploy everything via ansible, it has capability to generate analytics as well on you job and creates a dashboard for the same. Easy to use and reuse the job for different environment using extra variables. Also you can have logging with different verbosity when troubleshooting. You can use same playbook for multiple component using the project and need not write playbook for each and every repo. You can interact with ansible using api exposed by it to speed up your automation
What do you dislike about the product?
In order to scale you need to have good infrastructure else performance will be impacted. We deploy thousands of components and in order to scale had to create multiple instances of ansible
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We needed a tools that can be used for deployment for a variety of technology from legacy to modern technology suites. We are able to achieve the synergy and centralize all the deployments and also able to achieve continues deployment by invoking ansible api
Ansible is one stop shop for all automation needs
What do you like best about the product?
Can cover basically all parts of automation, be it Infrastructure as code, Application deployments or security automation.
What do you dislike about the product?
Basically, there is nothing to dislike about ansible
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Automation! We were able to eliminate multiple tools we used and started using Ansible for almost everything, for both our cloud as well as on-prem infrastructure.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
The Inbuild modules basically can cover everything you need. but, if it doesn't, you can build your own.
Ansible Automation is Powerful

Ansible is designed to be very simple, reliable and consistent. It lets you quickly deploy and easily deploy multitier apps.
What do you dislike about the product?
A new Ansible user will take certain time to understand how to use this platform.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I used to solve problems regarding deployment of the applications. The benefits of this Ansible automation is once we know how easy it is to manage and configure then it becomes very easy for our next deployments.
Best Configuration Management tool for Infrastructure Automation/Configuration
What do you like best about the product?
It's easy to use and very powerful tool in todays IT world. Redhat provide Ansible Tower REST APIs as well so that It can be integrated with multiple other tools as well. Managing 1000s of nodes is just a piece of cake.

No Major cons as this is the best automation tool, I have worked with.

What do you dislike about the product?
- Windows can be a pain. Very less support for Windows. Linux machine is preferable.
- Not so good GUI. It can be better.
- Creating extensive logic in the playbooks are simpler in other scripting languages. Here it is a little tricky.
- MSSQl and Vault are some of the modules that should also be included.
- Only SSH connection by default.
- Should have a better error handling mechanism.
- Too many modules can create a confusion some times, but due to good documentation it can be solved easily.
- It is hard to pass run-time parameters in Ansible.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use Ansible everyday in our CI/CD pipeline and task automation on computing and configuring clusters.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Even though it looks complicated, but still it is user friendly and
Had a very "easy and efficent to use" experience
What do you like best about the product?
the best part I like about ansible is that it is very easy to use. internal SSH connection does not let us worry about connectivity . I have used ansible to deploy scripts and retrieving logs from a remote machine. I have also used ansible to create AWS EC2 instances.
the thing that I like the most is that the documentation provided by the ansible team for every bit of work. its really helpful.

What do you dislike about the product?
Ansible does not tracks the dependencies . hence it keeps on executing and stops when there is a failure or error without proper error messages. This feature is provided by other automation tools in the market.
ansible generally provides a command line interface .A graphical user interface would make the work lot more easier.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
previously I was using putty for remote connections and I used to transfer the scripts using "scp" or "ftp" and then I ran the scripts manually. but ansible made is easy as we could create a yml file, define all the tasks in the yml file and prove as may as remote machine details in the host file. Ansible handled the whole task very smoothly and ran did the whole process on all the machines at the same time saving efforts and time.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
ansible is new to market hence you might find it complicated but its simpler than other automation tools present In market and the ansible team has already provided a huge number of document to help.
