Nice survey!
Ease of use, once you understand how to configure the tool, everything is a piece of cake. It runs pretty fast also, can use GITLab to manage our playbooks. Security options is great, can setup granular security depending on each team using Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform. It is also easy to update the software, barely fails.

Reduced cost and improved the bootstrapping process
Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform offers a more robust set of tools compared to GitLab which allows for a wider use case with less effort. Terraform is a good partner to work alongside as it's better at provisioning but falls down when complicated configurations need to be applied.

Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform review
There's 0 comparison. Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform leaves them in the dust. It is easier to configure and wipe playbooks for, and has way more community support and documentation making it a no brainer.

AAP from summit.
AAP is much easier to use/configure/maintain.

It's agentless. Not needing to deploy and maintain an agent on a system I want to maintain is invaluable.

Doesn't require an agent. But requires solid preparation.

I don't really compare them apples to apples, they serve different functions and integrate together.

Ansible products are the only ones my team makes use of so I don't have anything to compare.

Great for automating your automation
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) and Red Hat OpenShift
For the most part pretty well. Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform will always have room for improvement for a while since it really is a bit of a moving target and will always strive for new capabilities. RHEL of course has been around for some time and it does what it is designed to do.

Stands out among the others
Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform requires little to no configuration on the nodes to manage the systems. However, this means that the inventory source of Truth must come from somewhere else. Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform is able to manage things beyond typical nodes (PCs/Servers), such as Network infrastructure and cloud objects. While competitors with agents may perform tasks faster, Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform's flexibility makes it king for automation.

Can't have one without the other! Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform drives our RHEL environment, and our RHEL environment made Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform the obvious choice.

Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform
We were Puppet users. Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform made more sense to us because of the focus on Ansible content to support our AIX systems and RHEL systems. We have also seen that the learning curve for Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform is better than we experienced in our Puppet deployment.
