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.
This is the best tool for writing scripts for execution on multiple machines
What do you like best about the product?
Especially this ansible scripts can be executed on multiple machines at a time , like same activity we can perform no of machines that's very useful and time reducing thing.
It would be compatible for all my regular cloud operations and daily administration and testing activities.mostly i like built in features with less code I can use. and it will be supported on maximum OS's covered i.e like windows and mac and linux. This is user friendly easy to understand code.
also it is open source tool is the big advantage for users.

What do you dislike about the product?
Play book script should be OS specific and we need to port if we execute on different OS types, Initial code for operation we need to write more but some of the code can be re-usable for other operations with some changes. As prospective of error handling and debugging also big challenge just ansible uses generic error messages with line number and syntax error message.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Initially we need to perform operations manually but after started this Red Hat Ansible Automation we just used to one system we are triggering and monitoring in same system and also checking errors same system. Integrity of testing and development has bridged this software.
Now test environments setup and dependent softwares configuring in multiple machines web applications related thing and both physical and virtual environment has been managed using this tool. We can use this in networking and virtualization and cloud, storage domains.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Services & product functionality and performance, Strong customer focus,no of operations to common for all platforms to be improved.
It is an user friendly yet powerful effective among the other tools
What do you like best about the product?
It is easy learn, very user friendly and to run and debug. It has no dependency, powerful to scale application.
What do you dislike about the product?
You have control over the target host for the duration of the playbook and that’s it, you can’t have long-running tasks.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am performing repeated command on multiple VMs/machines, Ansible making life easy for me to do and control it from single machine. Not only that but it helping to downgrade/upgrade rpm on multiple VMs.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Cool platform to automate things easily yet very powerful. It very easy to learn and use for beginner or with no prier knowledge. It dose not depended on other module. Most useful things about it is that you can deploy your own module as per requirement. It also provides security for authentication. According to me it is the best tool among available in the market must go for it.
The best tool for automated configuration management
What do you like best about the product?
Ansible is extremely easy to use.
You just need to write few lines of code and it works. Using SSH, Ansible can send commands to 500 servers in a go.
It reduces lot of errors which in case of manual configuration would have introduced easily.
We need to simply run playbooks natively via SSH installed on the hosts machines.

What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing much except that YAML syntax is somewhat complex, Although YAML is now a go to format for sharing data, JSON support would have been an added advantage.
Also it has a limitation as compared to Terraform of unable to dynamically changing host files.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have been using Ansible to configure huge set of networking devices in a go. With SDN evolving immensely, lot of networking devices now has a need to be configured remotely and at one go.
Using Ansible we have configured 100's of switches, firewalls, gateways and without much hassle.
Life of an administrator/engineer has changed a lot. Very few mistakes and increased productivity

Worthwhile tool for configuring any environment without installing any agent on the endpoint
What do you like best about the product?
Generally its very difficult to manage large groups of servers but Redhat Ansible makes it very easy to configure them. With idempotent operations its better than all its competitors. Its integration with most of the scripting languages make it a dynamic tool to implemen CI/CD tasks.
What do you dislike about the product?
Logging is not so apt. Error message doesn't give clear reason for root cause of the issue.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Helped in configuring on-premise, virtual machines as well as cloud nodes. Found an edge for deploying instances, configuring them and performing networking configurations. We used it mainly for server/cluster creations and tear-down.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Runs over SSH so its really very easy to perform any operation on the remote machines. This is a good to go product for configuring production grade environments.
Make configuration management not bash
What do you like best about the product?
Ansible is a part of IaC (Infrastructure as Code). IaC is a modern approach and I believe that infrastructure is code. It means that we should use the same philosophy for infrastructure as for software development. If we are talking that infrastructure is code, then we should reuse practices from development for infrastructure. Ansible allows us to implement this approaches, i.e. S.O.L.I.D. for ansible, pair devopsing and IaC Testing Pyramid.
However, there are some some basic benefits:
* Efficient : Agentless.
* Simple : Declarative language.
* Secure : SSH / WinRM transport.
* Powerful & Flexible : Modules.
* Mature : Supported by Red Hat.

What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes people follow imperative approach instead of declarative during developing Ansible playbooks. As a result they don't have idempotent playbooks. It's extremely hard to maintain that kind of roles. Also in the vast majority of cases people forget to implement testing procedure for ansible code.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
There are some use cases:
* Configure VMs.
* Create new VMs.
* Create VM template as a Packer provisioner.
* Install your application.
* Create docker images.
* Install your aplication to k8s/openshift.

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
