RHAAP | Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform Premium. Sold in 100 node packs | $19,250.00 |
Dimensions summary
This listing offers one pricing dimension: Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform Premium. You buy it as a contract, sold in packs of 100 nodes. A node is a managed system the platform automates. To scale, you add more 100-node packs, so your cost grows with the number of systems you automate. The subscription bundles the platform's automation tools, event-driven capabilities, content collections, and life-cycle support under one commitment. There are no separate tiers or usage add-ons here; pricing is set entirely by how many 100-node packs you commit to.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
A node is a managed system the platform automates, such as a server, virtual machine, network device, or cloud instance. Each managed system counts as one node. The platform manages Windows, Linux, and other IT workloads across datacenter, cloud, and edge environments.
You buy additional 100-node packs to raise your covered node count. Packs are sold in fixed increments of 100 nodes, so scaling means adding whole packs. Your cost grows with the number of packs you commit to under the contract.
The subscription bundles the platform's automation tools, an event-driven solution, content collections with modules and playbooks, analytics, and life-cycle technical support. You also get certified partner content and access to hosted management services under one contract commitment.

Automation has transformed patching and now secures thousands of servers in hours
Reviewed on Nov 07, 2026
Review from a verified AWS customer
What is our primary use case?
My main use case for Red Hat Ansible, which is a disruptive solution. I think every large company today should have Red Hat Ansible because it helps a lot with the administration of large environments, operating systems, and servers. In a scenario where we increasingly need governance, security, and configuration focused on defense against cyberattacks, having a tool that allows you to make these changes atomically on many servers at the same time, even thousands of servers at once, is vital. Ansible does this excellently regardless of the operating system, whether Windows, Linux, or Mac. It also integrates easily with network devices, whether Cisco IOS or any other vendor. I think Ansible is a must-have tool for every large company that wants to remain relevant and secure.
A quick and specific example of a situation in which RedHat 9 with support by ProComputers, together with Ansible, brought concrete benefits to my operation is when I needed to apply zero-day patch fixes. It also applies to cases where a workaround is needed because the patch isn't available, but a configuration change in the operating system closes that door for the attacker. I have handled several situations like that with Ansible, and I managed to make my entire environment secure, with more than ten thousand servers secured with one click.
I think it is worth reinforcing that it is a must-have tool for medium and large companies, but especially for large ones.
How has it helped my organization?
RedHat Ansible has had a positive impact on my organization by reducing the total time for applying patches. It used to take weeks to complete, and today it is finished in a few hours.
This reduction in time improves productivity by allowing the team to use the free time to focus on more important and less operational activities.
What is most valuable?
The integration of Ansible makes my work easier and benefits the team because Ansible should enter a provisioning pipeline. When we talk about SDLC today, we also understand that infrastructure as code is part of the software development life cycle. By putting Ansible in the middle of this SDLC, I can create machines and configure them, which in short is everything we usually call the full set needed to prepare a server or any computing device, and I have the full cycle from start to finish. All of this is versioned in Git, where I can have it as my infrastructure-as-code repository.
What needs improvement?
I believe that a native integration with CMDB vendors could be useful to integrate and automatically create an inventory inside Ansible.
I would also like to mention the pricing; I believe it is an expensive tool.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using RedHat Ansible for more than ten years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
RedHat Ansible is very stable; it is known precisely for its stability.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
The scalability of RedHat Ansible is excellent as well; you can scale from single units up to tens of thousands if necessary, so it is easy.
How are customer service and support?
The customer support of RedHat in Brazil is excellent, and the team is very competent. International support is also very good and very fast.
I would rate customer support an eight on a scale from one to ten.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
Previously, we used a manual solution, and we switched to be faster at meeting market demands and to have the environment secure more quickly.
What was our ROI?
We have saved time, but we haven't exactly done an ROI calculation to know how much that returned financially. Still, as I said earlier, the security patching process that used to take weeks started to take only a few hours.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
My experience with pricing, setup costs, and licensing could improve. I think it is a very expensive tool. The negotiation is good, the support is very good, and the Brazilian sales team is very capable, but it is an expensive tool.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
Red Hat Ansible is the market leader for one single and exclusive reason: it is the best tool available for this, so it is a consensus.
What other advice do I have?
On a scale from one to ten, I would rate RedHat Ansible an eight overall.
I rate it an eight because I consider Ansible to have a high financial cost. It is not a cheap tool. A ten doesn't exist; there is no tool that deserves a ten.
It is implemented in my organization in a hybrid cloud format. In our hybrid architecture, we use Azure, AWS, GCP, and OCI as cloud providers.
My advice for others who are thinking of using RedHat Ansible is to make sure to include it in your budget for next year.

Powerful automation tool with a slight learning curve
Reviewed on Oct 10, 2026
Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
What I appreciate most is how consistent and repeatable our server provisioning and deployments have become using YAML playbooks. It handles both Linux and Windows environments smoothly, and integrating it into our existing CI/CD pipelines was relatively straightforward. The collection support and built-in modules save our team countless hours compared to writing custom shell scripts from scratch.
What do you dislike about the product?
The learning curve for writing clean, scalable roles and playbooks can be pretty steep for junior team members. Additionally, troubleshooting failed tasks across massive enterprise inventories can sometimes require digging through dense logs, and the licensing cost can be restrictive if you are scaling up a smaller team.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
In our environment, we use Ansible heavily for automating server patch jobs and pulling critical system telemetry for our AIOps platform. It eliminates manual intervention across large-scale infrastructure, ensuring timely security patching and compliance. Fetching real-time telemetry helps our event-correlation systems spot anomalies early, reducing downtime and lowering MTTR across our operations.

Efficient Automation with Some Learning Curves
Reviewed on Apr 17, 2026
Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
I like the simplicity of Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform. It doesn't require an agent on the servers, just SSH, which makes management much easier. I also appreciate that the playbooks in YAML are easy to read and maintain. Additionally, using playbooks to automate tasks eliminates repetitive tasks, allowing me to make changes on all servers at once instead of connecting to each one manually.
What do you dislike about the product?
Performance with very large inventories can be slow. Also, the learning curve for the Automation Controller is steep for small teams. The complicated part was setting up the Automation Controller and the dynamic inventories, which took several days.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform to automate server configuration, mass patching, and deployments, eliminating repetitive tasks. Before, we had to manually connect to each server, now we do it all at once with a playbook.

Powerful Linux Automation with Ansible and Fast Red Hat Support
Reviewed on Mar 20, 2026
Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
The automation part is very useful in Ansible specially for Linux. Being a push based tool we can use this tool as frequently we require because now we can only push the updates when required. The Customer Support is also good since the tickets from Red Hat are replied very fast
What do you dislike about the product?
The Migration from old Ansible tower to the new Ansible version like AAP is very complex.
Since now the latest Ansible version runs on containerized Environment Engineers require to have knowledge on containerized envroinment like docker and podman

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The Automation part is very usedful earlier with tools like chef was based on pull based becuase of which engineers had to wait for the pull to be executed.
But now with ansible once any update is available we can push the updates as and when required.
