Automate That Stuff!
What do you like best about the product?
AAP makes my life easier because I am a lazy engineer! If there is ever a configuration task that I have to do more than once, I use AAP to get it done. Even if I may only do something once, chances are there is a playbook for it, just incase I ever have to do it again.
What do you dislike about the product?
The disconnect between Hashi TF and AAP. These two products are awesome when used together and a tighter integration between them is not only a need, but it is mandatory!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
AAP allows me to automate my environment, taking hours and days down to minutes. This, in turn, allows me to focus on novel problems and innovations.
Control config drift

We use it primarily to control configuration drift. A nightly run resets a lot of system settings to comply with internal standards

I do not have any dislikes with the platform.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
System owners change settings that make systems non-compliant. Ansible resets those settings
Ansible - the all purpose tool

What do you dislike about the product?
Not much in the tool itself. I'd prefer the component name's didn't change every year...

Every place a client desires to automate a process of respond to know conditions, Ansible has been the tool to deliver this capability.

It's an improvement on Tower, but still needs work
What do you like best about the product?
Integration with git is excellent and invaluable for easy maintenance of playbooks. Secrets management is trustworthy.
What do you dislike about the product?
Setup/configuration is overly complicated, and navigation in the GUI can be unfriendly and the terminology jargony, even for those with a lot of experience.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Most of my team is fairly proficient in Ansible, so this, combined with git, allows us to use each other's playbooks, and it ensures that our most-frequently-used playbooks are kept up-to-date. As with all automation, the primary problem is the ever-increasing expectation of productivity and perfection.
