We performed a comparison between Octopus Deploy 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."The rollback feature has been most valuable. We can write scripts from scratch. Octopus maintains an independent package for every deployment."
"Deployment is valuable. It deploys well."
"The UI is very intuitive."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is that we don’t need an agent for it to work."
"The most valuable feature is that Ansible is agentless."
"The initial setup is easy and takes a few hours to complete."
"The solution can scale."
"The most valuable features of the solution are its configuration management, drift management, workflow templates with the visual UI, and graphical workflow representation."
"I like the agentless feature. This means we don't install any agent in worker nodes."
"I like the fact that Ansible is agentless."
"It is agentless. I don't have to think about which client system my unit has understanding in or not, because I can execute from my system. It will go and configure it, and any module that it is looking for will be shipped out."
"You've got to jump through a few hoops to get some things configured, but if set up, you can do so many different things in it. So, there is complexity."
"This solution could be improved by making it easier to divide variables in YAML file or JSON files."
"There could be scope for more integration with other platforms."
"For Ansible Tower, there are three tiers with ten nodes. I would like them to expand those ten nodes to 20, because ten nodes is not enough to test on."
"It should support more integration with different products."
"Ansible could use more public relations and marketing."
"The tool should allow us to create infrastructure. It has everything when it comes to management, but it lacks the provisioning aspect."
"There are some options not available in the community edition of the solution."
"The support could be better."
"They should think of this product as an end-to-end solution and begin to develop it that way."
"It would be helpful to have templates for common configurations. It would make it much easier and faster rather than creating a whole script. The templates would decrease the learning curve as well."
