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."When you have an enterprise-level number of network devices, the ability to quickly push out security updates to thousands of devices is the biggest thing"
"Role-based access control and agentless architecture are the main features which may attract users."
"The most useful features are the playbooks. We can develop our playbooks and simplify them doing something like a cross platform."
"It is very extensible. There are many plugins and modules out there that everybody helps create to interact with different cloud providers as well."
"The most valuable features of the solution are automation and patching."
"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."
"There are new modules available, which help to simplify the workflow. That is what we like about it."
"We can automate a few host configurations using the product."
"It is very easy to make a software release. It used to take us at least a couple of hours to make a release, now we went to production with a new one last night. This new release took me five minutes."
"The most valuable functionality is the ability to define the deployment process, schedule the deployment and automatically execute the deployments to different environments."
"Stable solution that's good for automating the CI/CD pipeline: from development to production."
"The solution handles complex deployments very efficiently."
"The most valuable feature is the snapshot functionality, which allows us to access previous versions of the artifacts."
"The stability is good. I haven't experienced any issues."
"When you set up Playbooks, I may have one version of the Playbook, but another member of the team may have a different vision, and we will not know which version is correct. We want to have one central repository for managing the different versions of Playbooks, so we can have better collaboration among team members. This is our use case for using Git version control."
"The product could do a better job at building infrastructure."
"Networking needs to be improved."
"The governance features could be improved."
"Ansible could use more public relations and marketing."
"The scalability of the solution has some shortcomings."
"The solution should add a nice self-service portal."
"Additional features could be added."

"I would like to see more reporting for container architecture."
"The interface allows access in a number of ways but that can be confusing."
"The scalability of this application needs improvement. Changes and variations in the application become bottlenecks as they need to be more seamless and comfortable."
"I certainly would like to have a better way to pass information between deployment steps using UrbanCode Deploy because that's really difficult to do."
"The technical support of the solution could definitely be improved as PMRs take long to resolve."
