Overall Satisfaction with Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform

Currently used for patching of various operating systems, including RHEL, Oracle Linux, and Ubuntu. Automated patching was the prime objective of implementing automation. We also use it for Netapp automated reporting, which is then used to make storage decisions.
  • Feedback on job automation
  • Ease of playbook creation (yaml)
  • Scheduling and workflows
  • Error message detailing (why something failed)
  • Stability, we have encountered many bugs after implementing a patch even going n-1
  • Less time being on-call paged for patching failures
  • Less man made errors in repeatable tasks
  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL)
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.

Do you think Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform delivers good value for the price?

Not sure

Are you happy with Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform's feature set?

Yes

Did Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform live up to sales and marketing promises?

I wasn't involved with the selection/purchase process

Did implementation of Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform again?

Yes

Works great for our repeated tasks or things that need to run consistently on a schedule. Not great for just turning an existing shell script into a playbook that runs said shell script (if there are no collections available for a product), or one off tasks.
