Automic Continuous Delivery Automation Pros and Cons

The main benefit is you can deploy everything with it.

It can support very complex environments and dependencies.

It gives us good feedback on visualizations and on how our processes have progressed.

The product provides efficiency, in terms time, cost, and resources.

It provides a wonderful user interface which is easy to use.

Self-service for developers, because they are able to deploy to development departments on their own, without needing people from operations.

The event monitor is very good. You can monitor when the file is created so you can pick up the file once it's done.

It is an umbrella system that allows us to integrate many different systems into our heterogeneous environment.

The most valuable feature is the ability to see which problems have been resolved from deployment.

We have saved on our time costs and have seen more quality.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

It would be very beneficial for us to see integrations into cloud environments, especially into the Google Cloud environment because we are heading towards cloud.

We hope that we can integrate the new CD Directive into our portfolio, so we can bring the deployment and release management closer together.
