The primary use case is mostly automation. In technical terms, the solution uses a playbook. The playbooks contain code. If you have written all the code in the playbook, you just execute that code. You can automate depending on the environment.

AAP
What do you like best about the product?
AAP helps me get stuff pushed out to production
What do you dislike about the product?
some times i have trouble getting a machine configured initially
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
getting machines in a consistant state
AAP - when you need non-tech employees to execute complex tasks
What do you like best about the product?
The best is the ability to grant non-technical or tech users that do not need access to perform functions, the ability to do this without needing complex interactions, such as gaining access to secrets, not needing to know how to write code, etc.
What do you dislike about the product?
The cost, and the learning curve needed to master it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It has allowed me to give non-RHEL admins the ability to perform config management without needing to know how to write playbooks, and not knowing what collections are needed.
Need way to import specific community modules potentially on the fly with a playbook
What do you like best about the product?
Helpful for the logging and management of the different acccess keys and a central way to run/share playbooks
What do you dislike about the product?
our old implementation of Ansible Tower (my team is a tenant) had the community modules. New environmetn does NOT and we do not have access to create our own custom execution environments.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
cloud infrastructure
not bad, but…

mass execution of repetite tasks on the environment
Redhat ansible review
What do you like best about the product?
It is a good tool to automate the script. Really come in handy when I need to perform same task every time.
What do you dislike about the product?
Theres nothing to dislike as such but the documention to create ansible jobs is little tough
If they improve documents then it's the go to tool
If they improve documents then it's the go to tool
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Mainly automation of jobs that really is solving one tedious problem
Offers powerful automation with playbooks but could benefit from improved user-friendliness
What is our primary use case?
What is most valuable?
The playbooks and the code the solution uses are quite useful.
What needs improvement?
It would be good to make the solution more user-friendly for customers who aren't skilled in coding and don't know how to use the playbook's code. If we have many customers and the modules already exist, the user can just plug and play.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using the solution for one year.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
We don't have many issues with stability, so I rate the solution's stability a nine out of ten.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
I rate the solution's scalability a nine out of ten. We have two customers using the solution.
How are customer service and support?
The technical support is good.
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup is complex, and OpenShift would be much easier. It took a week to deploy the solution. When deploying the solution, you must download the installer and install the solution on the server.
It requires two engineers for maintenance and deployment.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
Customers need to pay yearly for the license. The pricing is acceptable. It is not expensive.
What other advice do I have?
If you know the basics of coding for you to write the playbook's code, and if you have a midrange environment with up to 1,000 servers, Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform is a good option to automate daily tasks.
I rate the solution a seven out of ten.
Powerful Enterprise Tool
What do you like best about the product?
The ability to deploy, build, modify all nodes within the enterprise
What do you dislike about the product?
User interface is ok, but at times wish I could see a better of machines etc.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It is solving time consuming tasks that otherwise would take many individual hours to perform.
Not as easy as just writing bash
What do you like best about the product?
Reusable playbooks that can be combined for more complex tasks
What do you dislike about the product?
I prefer commonly used coding languages with IDE support over writing complicated yaml that is specific to a product. Not idempotent, no state management.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We're using it as a self-service for users to configure APIs in 3Scale or order queues in amq
