We can use the solution for a group deployment if we have an infrastructure where we need to deploy software onto multiple machines at the same time. The tool should be on an Ansible server, and the server should be able to do SSH to the multiple hosts on which it wants to act.

The product is very stable.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
The product is scalable. We can use it on multiple cluster levels.
How are customer service and support?
The documentation is quite good. We don’t need to call anyone.
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup is quite easy. The deployment took 15 to 30 minutes. The tool was deployed on a Linux machine. People deploying the solution must have some hands-on experience in Linux.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
It’s an open-source tool.
What other advice do I have?
I recommend the solution to others. Overall, I rate the solution a nine out of ten.
A cloud solution for configuring the infrastructure with fair pricing and technical support
What is our primary use case?
We use the Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform to configure our infrastructure. It is mainly used to configure the whole activity.
How has it helped my organization?
Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform is a good choice when you have different distribution platforms. If you have an infrastructure with Ubuntu, VPN, and Red Hat distributions, Ansible can integrate these platforms through a small inventory file, such as a custom image or file.
What is most valuable?
The role-based access control (RBAC) feature is the most valuable, especially when used with Azure Galaxy Infinity.
What needs improvement?
Ansible is good at managing applications or devices on the existing infrastructure but cannot provision those devices.
The tool should allow us to create infrastructure. It has everything when it comes to management, but it lacks the provisioning aspect.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using the Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform for three years. We're using the latest version of the solution
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
The solution’s stability is good. I rate it a ten out of ten.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
I rate the solution’s scalability a ten out of ten.
How are customer service and support?
The customer service and support are good. It is good if you know how to create and operate it, but it can be difficult for someone who does not have the knowledge of how to configure the YAML file. There is some technical difficulty here.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Positive
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup is straightforward.
What was our ROI?
We have seen an ROI as we are still using the Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
The pricing is okay.
What other advice do I have?
I would definitely recommend using the solution. Overall, I rate the solution a nine out of ten.
A scalable solution that can be used for configuration management and automation
What is our primary use case?
I use the solution for all kinds of automation, network automation, compliance security, software installation, and software configuration. I started using the solution as a configuration management tool, and now I also use it for automation. I also use Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform within the CMP platform Morpheus.
What is most valuable?
The most valuable features of the solution are its configuration management, drift management, workflow templates with the visual UI, and graphical workflow representation.
What needs improvement?
The solution should add a nice self-service portal.
The standard single-node installation is easy. When you have a protection grade installed, and the customer wants DR, it creates a problem. For example, if you have the database built in, but the customer wants to use RDS, you have to tweak it. Then, you have to use the governance policies and everything accompanying them. Some customization takes place, but overall, it's easy if vendors use a straightforward method.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform for many years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform is a very stable solution. I rate Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform an eight out of ten for stability.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
Around 10 users use the solution in our organization, a presales and sales company. Around 1,000 users used the solution in my previous organization.
I rate Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform a nine out of ten for scalability.
How was the initial setup?
The solution's initial setup is not it's not hard. The steps to install the solution seem to be easy.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
Users have to pay a per-node cost of around $ 100 per node. The solution's pricing depends upon the volume.
What other advice do I have?
Users have to lay out how they want to build the solution. They should first build smaller job templates and then add them together to build workflow job templates.
Overall, I rate Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform a nine out of ten.
