Enables us to build new servers and updating software on servers in a very consistent way

Pros

"The development tools are decent and being able to consistently manage those servers is really the key, which is why we went with Ansible in the first place."

Cons

"There should be better Windows support. We have had to develop a lot of our own roles because of the Windows platform. The Red Hat Enterprise Linux ones existed but not the Windows versions, so I have had to develop a bunch of Windows ones."

Makes it easy to build playbooks and saves time and resources

Pros

"The most valuable feature is that it is easy to build playbooks. The learning curve is not that steep. "

Cons

"We are very satisfied with what we have. From a management point of view, whatever makes it easier for my team to help customers write their own playbooks would be something very beneficial. Everything is going as a service. Creating playbooks can become much more consumer-oriented so that customers do not need to contact us to write their own playbooks. "

Helps automate complex tasks and saves a lot of time and money

Pros

"Automation is valuable. It saves us time in performing tedious tasks or repetitive tasks."

Cons

"The web GUI can be a little bit better. There should be a couple of more features."

Significant time savings and error reduction with enhanced automation capabilities

Pros

"The capacity to install products on the operating system is very valuable."

Cons

" In modern infrastructure, there are more than just servers. The initial server-centric approach in Ansible is a bit strange. "

Easy-to-read YAML syntax, good interoperability, and high scalability

Pros

"The easy-to-read syntax for YAML files and the interoperability between modules are valuable. "

Cons

"There have been some differences between the operating systems that we have noticed. It could be down to cryptographic policies, but we have noticed some speed issues. They should work on the speed of deployment on different operating systems."

Capable of broad integrations with easy-to-operate infrastructure and user controls

Makes automation easy and helps with standardization

Pros

"The ease of being able to use the modules and collections to define what our business processes are is valuable. We are able to give non-technical people the ability to look at a process and say, "We need a step here. Someone do something and put it right here.""

Cons

"There should be consistency. I know that it is always changing, but when we are trying to get some users to do something in basic Ansible that they are not really interested in doing but their job requires them to do it, they start finding inconsistencies. "

Its agentless, making the deployment fast and easy

Pros

"It has improved our organization through provisioning and security hardening. When we do get a new VM, we have been able to bring on a provisioned machine in less than a day. This morning alone, I provisioned two machines within an hour. I am talking about hardening, installing antivirus software on it, and creating user accounts because the Playbooks were predesigned. From the time we got the servers to the actual hand-off, it takes less than an hour. We are talking about having the servers actually authenticate Red Hat Satellites and run the yum updates. All of that can be done within an hour."

Cons

"When you set up Playbooks, I may have one version of the Playbook, but another member of the team may have a different vision, and we will not know which version is correct. We want to have one central repository for managing the different versions of Playbooks, so we can have better collaboration among team members. This is our use case for using Git version control."
