Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The solution can apply one template across multiple applications.""The orchestration, building the release, and then just executing it and managing that pipeline — the orchestration capabilities are great for that.""The most valuable feature of Digital.ai Release is its ability to communicate with various deployment systems, such as XLD and batch deployments, as well as integrate with tools, such as Flyway and Bamboo. We use Bamboo as our build orchestrator, and Digital.ai Release also integrates with Jira, another Atlassian solution. These capabilities make it a powerful tool for managing workflow, test automation, and other processes."

"The stability is good. I haven't experienced any issues.""Stable solution that's good for automating the CI/CD pipeline: from development to production.""The most valuable feature is the snapshot functionality, which allows us to access previous versions of the artifacts.""The solution handles complex deployments very efficiently.""The most valuable functionality is the ability to define the deployment process, schedule the deployment and automatically execute the deployments to different environments.""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."

Cons
"The solution is a little bit expensive.""Digital.ai Release could improve by having a better plugin that works with Guardian that we use for mainframe migrations. If there could be an interface or plugin for Guardian that would be beneficial.""The backfill could be improved, we could automate that. Right now it's subjective — it's up to the lead developer's memory to remember to backfill."

More Digital.ai Release Cons →

"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.""The interface allows access in a number of ways but that can be confusing.""I would like to have the agent up and running at all times, as opposed to only while it is in the DevOps pipeline.""I would like to see more reporting for container architecture.""The scalability of this application needs improvement. Changes and variations in the application become bottlenecks as they need to be more seamless and comfortable."
