Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, GitLab, Red Hat and others in Release Automation."It is an umbrella system that allows us to integrate many different systems into our heterogeneous environment."
"The main benefit is you can deploy everything with it."
"It provides a wonderful user interface which is easy to use."
"Gives people insight into what's happening during the deployment."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to see which problems have been resolved from deployment."
"The product provides efficiency, in terms time, cost, and resources."
"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."
"Provides a robust, full spectrum enterprise-wide WLA platform."
"The initial setup is easy."
"The DWC, when configured correctly, is a great GUI tool to provide Self-Service Scheduling capabilities to the user community."
"I have supported this product in literally 100s of different environments and its unmatched in its ability to scale to any size."
"Jobs can be triggered in multiple nodes."
"Jobs can be triggered in multiple nodes."
"The technical support is great, the product is easy-to-use, and it is stable."
"The support from Cisco is very good. I was with them as a company for 40 years"
"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."
"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 stability of the solution can be improved."
"GUI for mobile phones: Availability to approve and start deployment through mobile phones."
"Not a perfect ten because the user interface is brand new and it needs improvement."
"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 performance of the previous versions could be better."
"The schedule refreshes daily and that's a challenge for us."
"There should be more custom documentation, specifically around Java APIs. There should also be more training. In terms of features, we are currently using only 50% of its features. We don't use all features that are available, but there is always room for improvement in all of the tools."
"It is missing some features and can improve in areas where the competition is somewhat better like linking job dependencies."
"Scalability-wise, it can be a little bit challenging."
"This solution does have bugs and could be improved in this regard. However, these bugs are resolved relatively quickly."
"It would be helpful to have a mobile app that could be used to follow the job schedule."
"Slow down on the releases a bit. I fully understand that IWA functionality is increasing at an amazing rate, but trying to keep up with the upgrades is rough."
