We performed a comparison between Octopus Deploy and Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Release Automation solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Deployment is valuable. It deploys well."
"The UI is very intuitive."
"The rollback feature has been most valuable. We can write scripts from scratch. Octopus maintains an independent package for every deployment."
"The automation is the most valuable feature."
"Since it is in YAML, if I have to explain it to somebody else, they can easily understand it."
"We can manage all the configuration consistency between all our servers."
"The automation manager is very good."
"I like the fact that Ansible is agentless."
"Ansible is agentless. So, we don't need to set up any agent into the computer we are interacting with. The only prerequisite is that the host with which we are going to interact must have the Python interpreter installed on it. We can connect to a host and do our configuration by using Ansible."
"Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform is quite stable. If you set it up correctly with the right configurations and there are no hiccups during installation and deployment, it will be stable. I'd give stability a rating of eight out of ten."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is that we don’t need an agent for it to work."
"You've got to jump through a few hoops to get some things configured, but if set up, you can do so many different things in it. So, there is complexity."
"This solution could be improved by making it easier to divide variables in YAML file or JSON files."
"There could be scope for more integration with other platforms."
"It needs better documentation."
"It is a little slow on the network side because every time you call a module, it's initiating an SSH or an API call to a network device, and it just slows things down."
"It should support more integration with different products."
"There are some options not available in the community edition of the solution."
"Because Ansible is establishing SSH sessions to perform tasks, there is a limit on scalability."
"What we need is model-driven, declarative software infrastructure management. However, things tend to break with new versions, requiring a lot of work to fix…The focus should be on improving the support for Ansible in the area of AI coding."
"There could be more stuff in the workflows. I hope that if I have ten templates with different services on it, workflow could auto-populate all the template-based services."
"Performance has been an issue on larger environments, but it has gotten a lot better over the past two years."
