Overall Satisfaction with Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I use Ansible Automation Platform to automate a variety of IT Operations tasks, like reboots with WebEx notifications and load balancing, audit evidence, Windows patching, server provisioning, monitoring maintence, IIS management, and much more.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Scheduling
Interactive templates via web
Job dashboard filtering

Cons

Credential passing through yaml to PowerShell
LDAP integration
Logging nothing if a template fails or succeeds awkwardly

Return on Investment

We saved money dropping Jams Scheduler

Usability

The AD integration sucks and passing credentials to a script needs a secure remote option.

Likelihood to Recommend

I like the power of AAP, the web interface, and the survey and schedule features. Integration of AD groups is cumbersome, logging is occasionally useless, and I need a separate credential option, so listing does complain about sending passwords clear text to Powershell.
