OpenText Deployment Automation vs XRebel comparison

Deployment Automation enables repeatable, reliable and audit-compliant processes to simplify application deployments, reduce risk and increase the velocity of delivery across all environments of your delivery pipeline. It seamlessly enables deployment pipeline automation, reducing cycle times and providing rapid feedback on build deployments and releases into production. Reusable deployment templates allow reuse of processes and properties, simplifying the setup of new deployment processes. Supporting continuous integration and continuous deployments, Deployment Automation bridges the DevOps divide by simplifying and automating handoffs and deployments across development and operations teams.

XRebel was designed to be a lightweight performance tool that would run all the time on the developer machine, issuing an alert when an issue is found and providing real time data to pinpoint the root cause. This creates an opportunity to proactively manage the most common performance issues at a tiny fraction of the cost of performance testing.

XRebel is great at preventing the most common issues, which is latency causing poor end-user experience probably caused by a bug in the database access layer or application logic. Theseaccount for the absolute majority of performance issues, but don’t require sophistication to fix. XRebel focuses on making those painfully obvious to the developer.
