I appreciated the easy-to-use interface, especially for scheduling and tracking job runs. The role-based access control is also a great feature for large team environments and organizations. > > **Cons**: The pricing can be a bit steep for smaller teams, and some advanced features may feel overkill for simple use cases. Overall, it's a strong tool for those managing large-scale automation. ----- ### "Best web based solution for automation and available as an open source platform." — 5.0/5 > **vikas** | *28 April 2022* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The tool is really light weight, easy to use and inexpensive software which integrated and runs well in almost any type of servers. Operation and Controlling is really convenient for all IT employees and of course it makes our life easier. > > **Cons**: I almost see no cons about Ansible but this software can be optimized more for always in the list of techies. > > Overall this tool is a must use for all the IT related stuffs. Anyone can easily operate, troubleshoot the issue and can modify the changes easily in Ansible Tower. The easy modification and deployment makes it best suited and enables Ansible to be the best among all the existing automation tools in the market. ----- ### "RedHat supported automation center tool" — 4.0/5 > **Marcin** | *14 February 2024* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10 > > **Pros**: Ease of use and great integration with the rest of RedHat stack upon which a lot of open source products and offerings are using. > > **Cons**: Price of enterprise support for the features it offers over open-source AWX. > > For small projects or without a tight RedHat stack integration the free AWX might be better, but for bigger ones, with more complexity, when you are required to contractually guarantee support in all cases you want a tried and tested platform components with manufacturer support and that is where Tower comes in. A key tool to manage your nodes and their tool stack and deployments. ----- ### "Stable IaaS platform with a STEEP learning curve." — 3.0/5 > **María Laura** | *24 July 2018* | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: It does not need client-side processes or configuration (just ssh access). Command line interface is fast and comprehensive. Support is fast and everywhere. > > **Cons**: The learning curve is steep (I mean it). Reports are not as powerful or customizable as other tools in the market. SSH, while easy to use, lacks security. > > System configuration automation is now done in a jiff. ----- ### "Great for Automation, Configuration Management, and Auditing/Reporting" — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *12 April 2020* | Financial Services | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Really like the Automation over other competing products like Puppet (you really need to know how to code in Ruby.) Love the concepts of Playbooks and Plays and the NetApp-specific (https://netapp.io) modules for ONTAP. Really simple to use\! The configuration management and Auditing/Reporting are also really good. > > **Cons**: The ONTAP 9.5 to 9.6 has some REST API differences. Also you really need the Tower to do full audit configuration reporting and auditing. The free versions or non-Ansible versions don't have sufficient reporting functionality which is really important. Especially the configuration conformance reports. > > We are trying to manage our NetApp Storage cluster configurations for both automated provisioning and security audit configuration management. We're still POC'ing the software but so far it's simple and easy to setup. Once we do more complicated playbooks it'll be interesting to see how it turns out. ----- Page: 1 / 3\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.co.za/software/149875/ansible-tower?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.co.za/software/149875/ansible-tower) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
