We performed a comparison between Automic Continuous Delivery Automation and Microsoft Azure DevOps based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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."The product provides efficiency, in terms time, cost, and resources."
"You can design your workflows for your needs."
"We have saved on our time costs and have seen more quality."
"The metrics gathered after deployment, for example, the rate of success versus the rate of failure."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to see which problems have been resolved from deployment."
"It provides a wonderful user interface which is easy to use."
"I would say our headwind, or our time to market, is reduced considerably. We get more consistent results out of it, because you write one time and once it's automated you expect it to behave the same way every time. And it cut down a lot of re-work for us."
"I think on a day-to-day basis, it has increased the capacity to deploy. We don't have to wait for someone to do something."
"The build and release management features are valuable."
"Azure DevOps' collaborative features are good, and it integrates well with other tools in the software development process, like quality testing, documentation, and agile development."
"It is a cloud-based system. So, it is stable and scalable."
"We can forecast tasks and the number of hours a task will take and can compare it with how long a task actually takes."
"It is possible to add third-party extensions to increase the usability of the product."
"Detailed logs allow us to pinpoint the exact cause of any issues, making troubleshooting efficient and accurate."
"You get a complete solution with Azure DevOps. You can do everything in one place, starting from requirement gathering until you release the product. It is a reliable, scalable, and handy product."
"Some of the valuable features are the functionality and the wide range of capabilities."
"GUI for mobile phones: Availability to approve and start deployment through mobile phones."
"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."
"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."
"key thing is support for cloud-based deployment. That is lacking."
"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."
"Not a perfect ten because the user interface is brand new and it needs improvement."
"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."
"We hope that we can integrate the new CD Directive into our portfolio, so we can bring the deployment and release management closer together."
"The solution's roadmap and Gantt charts could be improved."
"They could provide clearer guidance on deployment practices for the product."
"I would like to see a bit more project tracking."
"At times, our development work encounters issues, particularly when executing numerous CI/CD processes."
"The optimization feature in Microsoft Azure DevOps needs improvement. Control over multiple projects could also be improved."
"Reporting across multiple projects could be improved."
"I have not been able to use the integration with automation features, such as test management automation, with a framework that is written in Java."
"The UI could be improved."
