Read full review It has helped save us so much time, as it was designed to automate mundane and repetitive tasks that we were using other tools to perform and that required so much manual intervention. It does not work very well within Windows environments, understandably, but I would love to see more integration. I want it to be sexy and attractive to more than just geeky sysadmins.
Read full review Pros It's a useful tool for managing database versions and aiding in the development of database CI/CD pipelines. The deployment and management of database updates are simple. It provides quality checks to spot problems in DB scripts and DB pipeline views to track changes made to DB. Read full review Debugging is easy, as it tells you exactly within your job where the job failed, even when jumping around several playbooks. Ansible seems to integrate with everything, and the community is big enough that if you are unsure how to approach converting a process into a playbook, you can usually find something similar to what you are trying to do. Security in AAP seems to be pretty straightforward. Easy to organize and identify who has what permissions or can only see the content based on the organization they belong to. Read full review Cons Reducing Compatibility issues, when we upgraded Liquibase from 4.2 to 4.9. The same changeset which we were able to run on successfully using 4.2, part of it was now failing when tried to deploy using 4.9 We are not able to see detailed logs (for different changes) in uDeploy when deploying changes through Liquibase Liquibase should rollback the if any one of the changes fails. Read full review YAML is hard for many to adopt. Moving to a system that is not as white space sensitive would likely increase uptake. AAP and EDA should be more closely aligned. There are differences that can trip users of the integration up. An example would be the way that variables are used. Event-driven Ansible output is not as informative as AAP. Read full review Likelihood to Renew We are and will continue using Liquibase and it has become an integral part of our portfolio offering, any new product is by default adopting Liquibase stack.

Read full review Usability Build process is too time consuming and getting extra DB instance takes a toll
Read full review the yaml is easy to write and most people can be taught to write basic playbooks in a few weeks
Read full review Performance Great in almost every way compared to any other configuration management software. The only thing I wish for is python3 support. Other than that, YAML is much improved compared to the Ruby of Chef. The agentless nature is incredibly convenient for managing systems quickly, and if a member of your term has no terminal experience whatsoever they can still use the UI.
Read full review Support Rating Liquibase's customer support is at the top of my list of all vendors I've ever worked with over my 12 years of experience. They work directly with you to be successful, and response time is second to none. Liquibase is committed to getting customers up and running and - more importantly - successful in their organization and becoming champions of the product.
Read full review There is a lot of good documentation that Ansible and Red Hat provide which should help get someone started with making Ansible useful. But once you get to more complicated scenarios, you will benefit from learning from others. I have not used Red Hat support for work with Ansible, but many of the online resources are helpful.

Read full review Alternatives Considered To be honest, the option of having a free community plan to start testing in a test environment, followed by taking it in production a few months is a great way to evaluate wether or not to do the subscription based plan.
Read full review I haven't thought of any right now other than just doing our own home-brewed shell scripts. Command line scripts. And how does this compare? It's light years ahead, especially with the ability to share credentials without giving the person the actual credentials. You can delegate that within, I guess what used to be called Ansible Tower, which is now the Ansible Automation platform. It lets you share, I can give you the keys without you being able to see the keys. It's great
Read full review Return on Investment We need to re-educate developers to use Liquibase. In some cases, it is hard to align when several teams work on the same DB. On the other hand, Liquibase provides order and consistency in managing DB changes. Evidence and traceability are a plus.
