Overall Satisfaction with Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform

We use Red Hat Ansible Automation to automate our critical IT routine tasks, such as configuration management, patch deployment, server configuration, and software installation (e.g., Datadog, Python, and AWS CLI) across our multi-server infrastructure. Previously, these tasks took days or weeks to complete manually, but now run automatically, freeing us to focus on higher-value workflows. For example, when we need to patch many of our servers, this tool automatically deploys updates across all our systems instead of us doing it manually, which not only reduces human error but also keeps everything consistent, eliminating having different configurations which can cause issues later. Also it automate day to day health checks by scanning servers on schedule and generating reports that help us to know which systems are secure and which need addressing. Because it works across all our environments, it allows us to manage everything centrally without switching multiple platforms.

Pros

  • Automation purposes which eliminates human error.
  • Managing all configuration consistency between all servers.
  • Managing application deployment.
  • Automating security compliance tasks and network.
  • Patch management.
  • Routine health checks.
  • Report generation.

Cons

  • Doesn't offer ease integration with secret vault like CyberArk.
  • The technical support services need significant improvement, as users have had a poor experience.
  • Also needs improvement by creating modules for upcoming AI and ML technologies, as this capability is missing.
  • First, it keeps our entire server infrastructure aligned with our standards and reduces the time and effort needed to maintain our systems.
  • Automate routine IT tasks to save time, reduce errors, and ensure every server is configured and updated consistently.
  • Tasks that used to take our teams weeks to complete manually now run automatically and reliably, with full visibility, making our infrastructure management more effective and our compliance tracking much easier.
The platform offers simplicity and efficiency, especially in automation and configuration management.
Provide more powerful automations and seamless integration capabilities than Microsoft Intune.
