Good automation, statistics gathering, and reporting, with helpful technical support
The initial setup is simple. It took a few weeks to set up and test, before going live. There is some maintenance required. We have to allocate the storage often. We have a team within App Ux, the vendor, who supports us, and the engineering team within the F5M security team manages that.

Efficient server management and detailed reporting with flexible deployment capabilities

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The features that I have found to be the most valuable are the collecting of statistics, reporting, and implementing changes to particular environments on a scheduled basis with no manual intervention."
"Installing it is a PIP command. So, it's pretty easy. It is a one liner."
"We can automate a few host configurations using the product."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is that we don’t need an agent for it to work."
"There are so many models that I don't have to create one."
"It is quick to production. It has an API in the back which allows for integrations."
"The easy-to-read syntax for YAML files and the interoperability between modules are valuable."
"This solution allows us to stitch a lot of different parts of the workflow together."
"The most useful features are the playbooks. We can develop our playbooks and simplify them doing something like a cross platform."
 

Cons

"Anything to do with storage needs improvement."
"There is always room for improvement in features or customer support."
"The solution must be made easier to configure."
"It would be good to make the solution more user-friendly,"
"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."
"Some of the Cisco modules could be expanded, which would be great, along with not having to do so much coding in the background to make it work."
"We would like support for the post-integration of this product before cloud frameworks because right now their approach is to avoid using on-premises activities and move everything to the cloud."
"The job workflow needs to be worked on. It's not really clear to how you actually link things together. What they probably could do is provide an example workflow on how to stitch things together. I think that would be very helpful."
"Additional features could be added."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Pricing is reasonable. It's not cheap, but it's not expensive, it's in the middle."
"Ansible is a lot more competitive than any of the others. Its setup was also straightforward. In fact, we just implemented Ansible on OpenShift, so that is how we are running the Ansible Automation Platform now."
"We're charged between $8 to $13 a month per license."
"Users have to pay a per-node cost of around $ 100 per node."
"Everything is generally fair. No one ever likes to pay a lot of money, but we are getting the value. We also get support with it. It has been fair and worthwhile."
"We use the open-source version of the solution."
"The pricing is pretty standard."
"Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform is an affordable solution."
"Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform is an expensive solution. There may be additional fees to use advanced features."
