Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The most valuable feature for me is the fact that you can easily design a pipeline to promote applications from a development environment up to a production environment, and the team can become autonomous in designing those pipelines.""The second valuable aspect is its capability to drive external systems like deployment automation engines or to integrate with Agile Central.""CDD is primarily used for showing end users (managers, business teams, project managers, and release managers) what is happening with each release. The status and reporting features are very important. Automation reduces time to deploy. It also allows us to do more with releases and testing prior to production, better guaranteeing a smooth deployment.""The most valuable features of Automic Continuous Delivery Director are the UI, release planning, and tracking, and you can do your soft and hard freeze through CDP.""Its extensive range of available connectors eliminates the need for manual code writing when implementing solutions, thus reducing coding efforts.""Its ability to automate release deployments, streamline release scope, and reduce the cost of and time for deployment."

"The CA Application Insight feature is the solution's most valuable aspect.""The graphical view of when you're writing flow is the most valuable feature.""One standout aspect is its architecture. We can configure multiple instances on a single server using different system names or usernames."

Cons
"We would like to have a more user-friendly interface. It is already very friendly, but as soon as you start to have many applications with many tasks, the applications should be easier to manipulate on the screen.""The product's development has been stopped. It focuses on maintaining existing products.""Reporting and dashboarding could be improved. Release pipelines should be creatable via templates as well as easily integrable/chained together. Visual navigation could also be improved when the pipelines become too large.""Automic Continuous Delivery Director can improve the integrations. We have 25 but would like more.""CDD and RA should be two modules in the same product. They do not automatically “talk” to each other. and they require endpoint definition.""We have rolled out the SAFe model, but what we would like to have is better integration with Agile Central, for instance, or at least at the plugin level, where we would select only certain stories instead of many stories in the sprint."

"It could use better integration with development tools.""The configuration of the solution is a bit difficult to maneuver. They should work to make it easier.""When I started using Nolio around eight months ago, a challenge was the lack of relevant information and related support for learning.""A concern with CA Release Automation is that Automic was acquired by CA recently. We're a bit concerned that CA strategy is going with Automic, that CA Release Automation is dead. They are not investing in it too much... They do say, that in the next two or three years we don't need to worry. They will still provide support for CA Release Automation. But we're not sure how CA Release Automation will evolve.""In the next release, I would like to see more features to use active directory. And more rules to support more Python scripts and to work with Kubernetes and clouds, to have an easy solution for a lot of parameters."
