Consistent, Scalable Automation That Boosts Stability and Efficiency
What do you like best about the product?
What I appreciate most is how Ansible Automation Platform gives us a consistent way to automate tasks across differnet environments. Instead of everyone writing their own scripts, we can have a centralized, controlled approach that keeps things uniform and reduces errors.
Cloud services, on‑prem servers, or network devices, Ansible connects to everything without needing any agents. This flexibility has made it much easier to scale automation across the organization stacks.
Also, its write once-reuse anywhere motoo help us reuse across multiple projects or environments. This not only speeds up deployments but also ensures the same process runs the same way every time, which has noticeably improved our operational stability.

What do you dislike about the product?
Even though YAML is readable, getting comfortable with writing playbooks, structuring roles, and understanding best practices takes time. My new team members have often needed guidance before they can contribute effectively in our platform.
May be few cases where they struggeled are role structuring, output capturing and reusing andYAML Sensitivity are more prone to error.
UI is helpful, but it introduces extra complexity compared to using Ansible alone. Managing inventories, credentials, and job templates through the controller sometimes feels more complicated than necessary.
These are just my experiences, others may feel it easy though if the have already used CFT or TF.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
First and foremost, It helps us cut down on a lot of manual work. Tasks that used to take hours—like setting up servers or applying patches, confuring predefined softwares like datadog agent, awscli, python etc etc—now run automatically in the background, which saves time and reduces mistakes. It also keeps everything consistent across our systems, so we don’t end up with different configurations causing issues later. Because it works with many types of environments, we can manage everything from one place instead of juggling multiple tools. Overall, it makes our day‑to‑day operations run smoother and help us the team focus on more important tasks or improvements/advancements instead of repetitive tasks that goes on endlessly.
Agentless Architecture and Scalable Orchestration Made Simple
What do you like best about the product?
What I like best is the agentless architecture and human readable YAML playbooks. The platform scales from simple tasks to enterprise wide orchestration without added complexity
What do you dislike about the product?
Performance can be quite unpredictable at scale. For example, large inventories with complex fact gathering can cause slow execution times.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Ansible eliminates repetitive manual tasks, reducing human error and freeing up IT staff to focus on strategic initiatives rather than routine maintenance.
IT Observability Advisor
What do you like best about the product?
The ability to run commands on infrastructure.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing much, since it’s a platform that eases tasks
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are using AAP to react to problems in the observability sphere. We are able to automate incident solving.
AAP is cool.
What do you like best about the product?
What I like best about Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform is its ability to simplify complex IT tasks through consistent, agentless automation across hybrid environments. It provides a user-friendly yet powerful framework that allows teams to automate provisioning, configuration management, application deployment, and more with minimal overhead. The platform’s integration with Red Hat’s enterprise ecosystem, coupled with features like role-based access control, visual dashboards, and certified content collections, makes it an ideal solution for scaling automation securely and efficiently across large organizations.
What do you dislike about the product?
It’s hard to hire employees with existing AAP knowledge
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Image deployment
Currently adapting ansible into our environment
What do you like best about the product?
Ansible uses a single user interface to access the controller, hub, lightspeed and galaxy
What do you dislike about the product?
The environment itself is large, complicated and daunting.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are hoping that we will be able to use playbooks to allow non-admin users the ability to execute elevated tasks without granting them admin access to a server. Almost like a graphical sudo.
ease of doing business for infra as code
What do you like best about the product?
Ansible playbook collection , event driven ansible offerings
What do you dislike about the product?
limited to certain specific choice of partner integration
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
infra configuration management and event driven resolution
I love the parallelism with Ansible Automation Platform
What do you like best about the product?
User Interface. I think that platform can be used for less experienced user to improve automation experience and usability of the code.
What do you dislike about the product?
Not supporting the same type credentials. I would love to use two machine type credentials within the same template.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Able to push changes to 250+ sites simultaneously. Integrating self-service, where customer can get what they need without involvement from the Network Engineer.
AAP is the greatest
What do you like best about the product?
It makes automation extremely easy and adds extreme value to my job.
What do you dislike about the product?
User Group Setup can be an annoyance but overall it isn't bad
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Standardizing configuration across our env.
Just a few automatization tasks
What do you like best about the product?
It made my work faster, because before I used Ansible I had to log in different systems to make on a simple task, like adding vlan. Now, I only have to adjust parameters and start the playbook.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's hard to install all dependencies in an isolated environment.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I only automated one task- adding vlans, but this playbook interacts with different software and devices.
