Reduces our time to market considerably with automated and consistent results

Our most important criteria when selecting a vendor are * the size of the vendor itself * how stable the company is * how long they have been in the market * what product suites they have that can help us achieve our goal at the end of the day. We look for partners, not vendors per se, that can help us implement our vision with us, and that's why we like Automic. I give it a good nine out of 10 at this time. The one piece that I think that could help leverage more of the tool is the scripting language barrier at this time. If that's not there, and some of the pieces that could be delivered faster, it might be adopted more out there in the market. I would suggest look at the complete offering that's out there. I would suggest: Prove it out first with the use case that you have. We were not shy in terms of running some proofs of concept with a couple of big vendors out there, and then making them make the case why their product suits our use case. And don't be shy to restart if there is something that you think is not going right, make sure you fix the problem before it gets too late.

Enables one-touch application deployment across various environments

Nolio is a very good tool. It's highly effective for deployment tasks and even supports one-touch deployment across various environments. When you design a process template, it can be reused across different scenarios. It's particularly valuable for database management and web applications. In comparison to Microsoft Kubernetes and other operations, database deployment can become complex, whereas Nolio is a very nice tool in the deployment arena. Overall, I would rate the solution an eight out of ten because I don't know all the hidden features. Once I gain a comprehensive understanding of these features, I might be able to give a more definitive rating. Initially, when I started learning about Nolio, I found it somewhat challenging. However, over time, I discovered that it's a valuable and well-designed tool.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"Deployment workflow (WF) can be designed this way, so that it is not necessary to provide all applications (systems) artifacts of which an application consists."

"The capability to provide visibility to the stakeholders, to management, is the biggest piece that showcases what the solution is about."

"Self-service for developers, because they are able to deploy to development departments on their own, without needing people from operations."

"It gives us good feedback on visualizations and on how our processes have progressed."

"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."

"You can design your workflows for your needs."

"It provides a wonderful user interface which is easy to use."

"The metrics gathered after deployment, for example, the rate of success versus the rate of failure."

More Automic Continuous Delivery Automation [EOL] pros

"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."

"The CA Application Insight feature is the solution's most valuable aspect."

Cons

"If you have a technical problem and need development of the tool, the support team is terrible, because they cannot help with the technical details."

"We hope that we can integrate the new CD Directive into our portfolio, so we can bring the deployment and release management closer together."

"There needs to be better error handling and error descriptions. It should be more clear what the errors are and what we can do to fix them."

"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."

"Not a perfect ten because the user interface is brand new and it needs improvement."

"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."

"key thing is support for cloud-based deployment. That is lacking."

"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."

More Automic Continuous Delivery Automation [EOL] cons

"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."

"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."

"It could use better integration with development tools."

"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."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We increased our quality and reduced our time costs."

"I can save time and money more quickly."

"If you have a fixed contract, it has limits to spreading out. If you have a flexible enterprise license contract, then you have a lot of scalability for this tool."

"Customers often complain about the price."

"Nolio is a pretty much good tool, though its pricing is relatively high in the market. It's more expensive than other tools."
