The only thing i dislike is Its comparatively slow than other cloud provisioning tools eg. Salt as it uses ssh for communication between nodes..
While salt uses ZeroMQ. which is fast

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Configured more than 200 servers with single script.
Helped in configuring and updating the switches and gateways with a single playbook and few roles.
Spinning up and terminating N cluster nodes in few minutes had been very easy.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Best suited for the use cases where the intention is manage hundreds on devices from a single script. Saves lot of time and human effort. Can run test suites on hundreds of installation in one go.
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.

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.

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
