Find out in this report how the two Release Automation solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."You can design your workflows for your needs."
"The metrics gathered after deployment, for example, the rate of success versus the rate of failure."
"The main benefit is you can deploy everything with it."
"The product provides efficiency, in terms time, cost, and resources."
"The IT process automation is the most valuable aspect of this solution."
"Self-service for developers, because they are able to deploy to development departments on their own, without needing people from operations."
"It gives us good feedback on visualizations and on how our processes have progressed."
"It is an umbrella system that allows us to integrate many different systems into our heterogeneous environment."
"I definitely like the pipelines and the ease of management once you're in an enterprise."
"The creation of test plans is valuable and I like the reporting features."
"The solution integrates well with other Azure services and third-party tools."
"The build and release management features are valuable."
"The solution is scalable."
"I think the most usable thing is that you can follow the whole progress of the development process. This makes it very useful for us."
"The solution is easy to implement and easy to use."
"The CI/CD pipeline setup is more user-friendly. You can manage various stages, and there are over 400+ plugins available for each stage."
"One of the biggest features I've been asked by my team to put in there is opening more scripting languages to be part of the platform. There is a little bit of a learning curve in learning how to code some of the workflows in Automic at this time. If widely used languages like Perl and Python were integrated, on top of what's already there, the proprietary language, it would make it easier to on-board new resources."
"At the moment, the version that we are using (version 12.0), the environment is complex with multiple installations. Therefore, the monitoring is not scalable, but this should be improved in 12.1 and 12.2."
"key thing is support for cloud-based deployment. That is lacking."
"If you have a technical problem and need development of the tool, the support team is terrible, because they cannot help with the technical details."
"The dashboard should allow you to see the current state of packages in each environment, not only on an individual application basis, but across the entire application platform."
"There is an issue with the stability in the tool. The process of agent will stop, then the monitoring agent can't be recognized because the process is running, but you can talk with the system."
"The stability of the solution can be improved."
"There needs to be better error handling and error descriptions. It should be more clear what the errors are and what we can do to fix them."
"I would like to see a bit more project tracking."
"There are certain areas in Azure DevOps that are better in other products."
"I would like to see new features added."
"They have brought a lot of new collaboration features in the latest version. We haven't used those features, but they should continue to expand it more on the collaboration front so that two developers can look at the code and work at the same time. It will be helpful for working from home."
"Being more technology-agnostic through ease of integration would be beneficial."
"The main issue that I have is the connection speed. Sometimes, the response is too slow. I am based in Taiwan, and I am not sure if it is because of broadband or something else. Its initial configuration is also a little bit difficult."
"Right now, they tend to have a limit of 1,000 tasks per sprint, and some of their web-based boards, such as the Kanban boards, no longer display tasks. Once you hit over a certain number of task limits, you need to increase those limits."
"It is not that intuitive. Sometimes, it is hard to find some of the functions. I would like to have an old-fashioned menu structure to be able to easily find things. Its environment setup is not very good. They should improve the way it is set up for different screens and make it easier to find functionalities and maintain team members."
