Overall Satisfaction with Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform
Right now, we only do basic stuff with Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform. We are planning in the coming weeks to use it to update/upgrade our 200+ RHEL servers. Got a lab today that was very useful, and I will put in place. We have been trying to use APP/Tower for the past 4 years. The only issue is time, time to write/get playbooks.
- Integration with other tools/providers
- Easy to use/ user friendly
- Maybe the host/group section
- Nothing special to add
- We don't have any data yet on ROI
- Still at early usage stage
Ease of use, once you understand how to configure the tool, everything is a piece of cake. It runs pretty fast also, can use GITLab to manage our playbooks. Security options is great, can setup granular security depending on each team using Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform. It is also easy to update the software, barely fails.

Ansible Feature Ratings
Using Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform
3 - People using AAP are mainly Unix administrators.
We also maintain our backup solution, which is Commvault, and the storage switches.
We will like to get other teams to use Ansible Automation Platform, such as the network admins, and Windows admins.
Including these two teams, it will represent about 15 admins.

1 - I am the main automation administrator at our office.
The other 2 admins don't really know much about Ansible, so I'm doing everything.
I'm working hard to get these 2 admins to work with Ansible, so we can automate as much as possible.
The is getting vital for our orgnisation as we grow up, and getting more and more servers.

Evaluating Ansible and Competitors

- Integration with Other Systems
- Ease of Use
The first use case that we did was to implement AAP with our monitoring tool, NagiosXI.
Depending on the alert, we got NagiosXI to call a projet using the API to clean up some folders.
After doing the online traning with Red Hat on Automation, I was able to install AAP, configure it, and start using it. It was pretty easy to put AAP in place and make it work.

There is nothing to add so far.
Evaluation process is short, not too long and boring. Full to fill.
