Overall Satisfaction with Ansible
Ansible is being used by the entire organization. It addresses 3 main DevOps Business goals:
1. Efficient and reliable configuration management automation in a large scale environment.
2. Provisioning of a newly deployed hardware and virtual systems
3. Fixes that require fast and efficient implementation on a large pool of resources

- Simple tool in terms of its deployment, configuration and ease of use.
- No TLS certificates. Ability to run in adhoc, pull and push modes.
- Easy learning curve in terms of usage and ansible playbooks writing
- Huge variety of available modules covering 99% of DevOps use cases in an enterprise
- Should have a better error handling mechanism with more precise error logic and interaction with the user
- It would be great if ansible had a dynamic inventory handling mechanism by default
- Ansible helped me as a team lead to make sure that our DevOps goals are aligned with business goals of our explosively growing organization and infrastructure.
- Since the standard ansible implementation is free, it makes ansible a fine tool with great return on investment
I have used Puppet, Chef during my career and Ansible seems to be the most efficient tool by far, in terms of its implementation, configuration and ease of use.
