We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros | |
"Ansible provides great reliability when coupled with a versioning system (git). It helps providing predictability to the network by knowing exactly what's being pushed after validating it in production." | "This product is an innovative market leader in the field of application deployment." "The solution's most valuable aspect is that it is vendor-agnostic and it has a file called Manifest, which makes it possible for developers, ops people, and system admins to cooperate." |
Cons | |
"Accessibility. Ansible uses a CLI by default. Those accustomed to it can find their way and adopt the YAML files easily over time. But, some users are more comfortable using UIs..." | "While it is a flexible product and provides a means of integrating with virtually anything, the company should make a better effort to keep up with new platform integrations." "The solution currently has a bug that causes performance issues. They need to resolve this in a future release." |
