We performed a comparison between Automic Continuous Delivery Automation 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."We have saved on our time costs and have seen more quality."
"It can support very complex environments and dependencies."
"The capability to provide visibility to the stakeholders, to management, is the biggest piece that showcases what the solution is about."
"Self-service for developers, because they are able to deploy to development departments on their own, without needing people from operations."
"Gives people insight into what's happening during the deployment."
"The main benefit is you can deploy everything with it."
"The product provides efficiency, in terms time, cost, and resources."
"It gives us good feedback on visualizations and on how our processes have progressed."
"The automation is the most valuable feature."
"The most useful features are the playbooks. We can develop our playbooks and simplify them doing something like a cross platform."
"It is very easy to use, and there is less room for error."
"One of the most valuable features is that Ansible is agentless. It does not have dependencies, other than Python, which is very generic in terms of dependencies for all systems and for any environment. Being agentless, Ansible is very convenient for everything."
"It has made our infrastructure more testable. We are able to build our infrastructure in CI, then are more confident in what we are deploying will work, not breaking everything."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is that we don’t need an agent for it to work."
"Installing it is a PIP command. So, it's pretty easy. It is a one liner."
"I like the fact that Ansible is agentless."
"It would be very beneficial for us to see integrations into cloud environments, especially into the Google Cloud environment because we are heading towards cloud."
"The stability of the solution can be improved."
"The dashboard should allow you to see the current state of packages in each environment, not only on an individual application basis, but across the entire application platform."
"I would like to see more support for WebSphere."
"If you have a technical problem and need development of the tool, the support team is terrible, because they cannot help with the technical details."
"One of the biggest features I've been asked by my team to put in there is opening more scripting languages to be part of the platform. There is a little bit of a learning curve in learning how to code some of the workflows in Automic at this time. If widely used languages like Perl and Python were integrated, on top of what's already there, the proprietary language, it would make it easier to on-board new resources."
"At the moment, the version that we are using (version 12.0), the environment is complex with multiple installations. Therefore, the monitoring is not scalable, but this should be improved in 12.1 and 12.2."
"We hope that we can integrate the new CD Directive into our portfolio, so we can bring the deployment and release management closer together."
"Some of the modules in Ansible could be a bit more mature. There is still a little room for further development. Some performance aspects could be improved, perhaps in the form of parallelism within Ansible."
"The governance features could be improved."
"Ansible could use more public relations and marketing."
"It would be good to make the solution more user-friendly,"
"Because Ansible is establishing SSH sessions to perform tasks, there is a limit on scalability."
"Documentation could be improved. Many times, if I'm looking for something, I have to Google it in a lot of places, then figure out what the best approach will be. There are some best practices documents, but they don't give you the information."
"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."
"From Red Hat Insights point of view, the product is not on top as it is not responding as per the demand...Like on cloud platforms, you can see the main parts of Red Hat Insights, along with the inventory of all your apps. So, that is missing in Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform."
