Good automation platform with some missing features.
What do you like best about the product?
The amount of modules either by Red Hat or the community.
What do you dislike about the product?
It misses some core features of modern IaC tools like State Management.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It provides us with the automation of annoying day2-operations.
Haven't had much experience with Ansible, but I love the potential is has.
What do you like best about the product?
As stated, I do not have a lot of experience with Ansible. However, what I have seen of it is definitely impressive and I like that it can be used as an infrastructure management and configuration management tool. This essentially allows it to be the definitive tool to use when automating IT processes.
What do you dislike about the product?
Comparing it with something like Terraform, Ansible is much more complicated to learn initially. I think if I trained on it some I would probably get over this feeling.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Deploying Nutanix resources automatically without the need to use the user interface, so I can avoid repeating tasks for setting up demo environments.
room for improvement
What do you like best about the product?
great platform to use for automation projects.
easy to understand and good rbac model.

What do you dislike about the product?
organization setup needs to be more visible and able to filter through
gui interface can be more user friendly
log searching function is lacking
not able to earch while job is running
downloaded log has not timestamps
need global credential (across multiple organizations or all)
need to be able to use same credential types for the same project
installation needs to be more flexible on library restriction - should be able to bypass library check or option to overwrite or skip version check
postgre sql supported versions need to expand to cover all versions

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
solving the issue with lots of resources doing the jobs manually today
automation going forward will be self-served where users can request deployment on-demand and automation will kick off the job to deploy or configure devices.

The user interface let us ease to go with anisible and all features of anisible could be use. All participants in a SDLC can use it for automations, from IT to Integration, from networking to developers.
What do you dislike about the product?
First thing is we need a Linux server to host, secondly it is bit expensive. It deals in many connections, so loosing connection error irritates much.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Be patient with the initial set up process. It could be frustrating and time consuming; however it is highly beneficial in the long term.
Have worked on Ansible
What do you like best about the product?
Ansible is an IT automation tool. We used it in our Openstack environment to deploy VMs and configure the system. It is written in python so makes it easier to work with. It is also easy to install on the workstation or laptop or even on another VM.
What do you dislike about the product?
Havent worked deeply on Ansible to figure out the downfall of the tool.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use ansible in conjunction with Vagrant to deploy Openstack environment and also VMs in that environment using a software instead of manually deploying it. It is a very powerful tool which helps in automating the task and hence helps in reducing the human errors.
