Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, GitLab, Red Hat and others in Release Automation."The CA Application Insight feature is the solution's most valuable aspect."
"One standout aspect is its architecture. We can configure multiple instances on a single server using different system names or usernames."
"The graphical view of when you're writing flow is the most valuable feature."
"The automation is the most valuable feature."
"It is quick to production. It has an API in the back which allows for integrations."
"The solution is capable of integrating with many applications and devices in comparison to BigFix."
"Since it is in YAML, if I have to explain it to somebody else, they can easily understand it."
"Role-based access control and agentless architecture are the main features which may attract users."
"The API for exposing all our infrastructure services is the most valuable feature."
"Its checking and validating ensures our packages are properly patched."
"Some colleagues and other companies use it and comment that it is easy to use, easy to understand, and offers good features."
"When I started using Nolio around eight months ago, a challenge was the lack of relevant information and related support for learning."
"In the next release, I would like to see more features to use active directory. And more rules to support more Python scripts and to work with Kubernetes and clouds, to have an easy solution for a lot of parameters."
"It could use better integration with development tools."
"The configuration of the solution is a bit difficult to maneuver. They should work to make it easier."
"A concern with CA Release Automation is that Automic was acquired by CA recently. We're a bit concerned that CA strategy is going with Automic, that CA Release Automation is dead. They are not investing in it too much... They do say, that in the next two or three years we don't need to worry. They will still provide support for CA Release Automation. But we're not sure how CA Release Automation will evolve."
"One problem that I'm facing right now is the mismatch between the new version of Python and Ansible. Sometimes it's Python 2, and sometimes it's Python 3. When things get a bit dicey, I wish that Ansible would solve this issue by itself. I don't want to have to specify if it is Python 3 or version 2."
"The solution requires some Linux knowledge."
"Ansible could use more public relations and marketing."
"On the Dashboard, when you view a template run, it shows all the output. There is a search filter, but it would be nice to able to select one server in that run and then see all that output from just that one server, instead of having to do the search on that one server and find the results."
"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."
"It needs better documentation."
"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."
"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..."
