Ansible is primarily used for provisioning or hardening our servers. The realization of getting a server from testing to actual production is very short in our environment because the processes have been streamlined. Before Ansible, the processes were a lot more unwieldy. We went from a week to less than a day where you can get your server hardened, provisioned, and handed off to the application owner.

Costs are negligible when using Ansible. The costs are just learning to use the solution's various options. We save time and efficiency versus other solutions.

We have seen an ROI as we are still using the Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform.

There is a return on investment as a technical person. It has saved time and effort in maintaining the deployment environment. So on the technical side, it's saved lots of time and effort on the configuration.

We might see an ROI soon. 

At the moment, it is just time saved.

Yes. We saw ROI three or four years after implementing the solution.

We've seen an ROI. It is reducing the resources needed by the customers.
