We have tested out Ansible Tower, but there is a budget issue, so that is in our next phase.

Red Hat's open source approach was a factor when choosing Ansible, since the solution is free as of right now.

Users have to pay a per-node cost of around $ 100 per node. The solution's pricing depends upon the volume.

Customers need to pay yearly for the license. The pricing is acceptable. It is not expensive.

We're not paying for it, but if you were to buy it, you would get Ansible Tower. That is what they are charging for, if I recall correctly.

It is an open source product but needs a license subscription to use it. The price depends on the number of nodes supported by the platform (the nodes correspond to a host which can be for example a VM or a data center).

The price is really different depending on the customer's needs.

I don't see the pricing or licensing features, but from what I understand, it is fairly reasonable.

Chief Cloud Architect at T1 Solution, s.r.o.

You don't need to buy agents on servers or deploy expense management when using the solution, which affected our decision to go with it.

We also bought this solution because it was better than some competitors, like Puppet and Chef, and because of the automation.

It has helped our organization save time when it comes to service deployment, moves, and updates. We used to have 120 employees, and now we have just 25 for the same amount of activities.

If you only need to use Ansible, it's free for any end-user, but when you require Ansible Tower, you need to pay per Ansible Tower server.

Ansible Tower is free. Until they lower the cost, we are holding off on purchasing the product.

It's an expensive product. It's costly. 

We're charged between $8 to $13 a month per license. There are some limitations as well, however, specifically in AOPs.

Although Red Hat has an enterprise add-on to manage Ansible through a web application and offers commercial support, I have not used it. Like many Red Hat products, they have a no-cost version of the web application (AWX, formerly Ansible Tower), but you are on your own to install and it is a little more complicated than just installing Ansible. AWX will probably be required in most shops for the RBAC functionality. With AWX, non-admins can be limited to perform some tasks, but not be allowed free reign with Ansible.

The cost is determined by the number of endpoints.

A license is required, if you are using Tower, we don't use it very often.

It's opensource so it's free. But, not free as in beer.

The most important cost here is the learning curve. Small targets like local user management (backup/monitoring) or monitoring configuration management (Syslog/SNMP) are some of the easiest and low-risk ones can learn from. The OPEX gain is high, though. So, the ROI is definitely there.

For the UI, you might want to pay for Ansible Tower. But, there's also the opensource upstream project, AWX.

Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform is an affordable solution. Infrastructure maintenance of the Master server comes at a cost.

The product is free, at least if you make use of the command line version. There is also a graphical version that has some extra features in reporting, etc. Here the price depends on the number of clients you want to manage. For us the cost was the time it took to learn the product which was only a day or two. View full review »
