We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"There is a good community around the product that makes troubleshooting possible.""The most valuable feature of Spinnaker is the rollback."

More Spinnaker Pros →

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

Cons
"Log-wise, we need to understand why something has failed so that we can understand and try to fix it the moment the issue is reported. The solution could use more robust monitoring.""Spinnaker's configuration setup is too complicated and should be made easy."

More Spinnaker Cons →

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