Automatic installation for complex deployments and environments, with good workflow support

I like that really complex deployments are possible with it. It's very good. You have everything you need. You can design your workflows for your needs. You can do so much more, it's not just an automatic installation tool. It's a real deployment tool. I can do the complete deployment with everything that is possible.

Real-time monitoring and seamless integration enhance deployment efficiency

The main disadvantage I see is the limited awareness of Nolio Release Automation in other organizations. It is a very nice tool, but its market presence is limited. I heard from the organization that the licensing cost was somewhat expensive. Perhaps focusing on marketing efforts would be beneficial. It is a really nice tool, and I am unsure why many organizations are not using Nolio Release Automation. It is one of the greatest tools for continuous deployment, yet its popularity remains limited. Some organizations are not aware of its existence. This might be an area worth researching and potentially developing new marketing strategies.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I think on a day-to-day basis, it has increased the capacity to deploy. We don't have to wait for someone to do something."

"Gives people insight into what's happening during the deployment."

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

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

"We have saved on our time costs and have seen more quality."

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

"The measurement and the display functions make it easy to report all the statuses up to management, and it has helped our customers with their time, costs, and resources."

"The agents are one of the solution's most valuable features, and I like agents for file transfers so you can transfer the files from agent to agent on the different platforms."

More Automic Continuous Delivery Automation [EOL] pros

"Before LISA RA implementation, the developers request for a restart would, for instance, take two to three days, with LISA RA, we developed a process where the restart is done within 10-15 minutes, and this process is used 15-20 times a day, from Monday to Friday."

"It is very customizable; it's very easy to use, to be able to actually put the product together, to build those different workflows that we needed to build; and also with its ability of having the technical staff."

"Our requirement was to deploy to 300 servers which used to take two to three days before CA RA, now it takes only two to four hours."

"The built-in action packs for different systems is the most valuable feature."

"Deployment workflows has not only increased the confidence in the release process, but also opens up a whole new world to automate the deployment for not just code, but DB, network appliances, application servers, and AWS."

"The benefits: we are able to deliver more, our release volume doubled but our release window went down by 80% so we deliver more and faster."

"In 12 days, we have automated this application and increased the deployment from 70 applications to 350 in three months."

"For my organization, in particular, it’s going to improve our throughput; we're not going to have delays in testing because we had some sort of manual entry error or transposition error, and we should be able to release our software to the customer in a much more efficient fashion."

More Nolio Release Automation pros

Cons

"The dashboard should allow you to see the current state of packages in each environment, not only on an individual application basis, but across the entire application platform."

"GUI for mobile phones: Availability to approve and start deployment through mobile phones."

"We're a WebSphere shop so I would like to see more support for WebSphere, only because it's the platform that they seem to want to use the most."

"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."

"File transfer is not very efficient. It takes a bit longer than some other methods and when you send the file from one platform to another, especially from the mainframe, the results consumption is quite high compared to other methods."

"The first time setup can be very complicated."

"I would like to see more support for WebSphere."

More Automic Continuous Delivery Automation [EOL] cons

"We use two versions – the older version (4.4) is very unstable, while the newer one (5.5) is much better."

"Tags are virtual snapshots of different deployment processes. Over time, if you often update your processes, it gets hard to track what exact changes were made between the different tags of the same process."

"I also think that the cost of this product is high."

"If I were to consider investing in a new deployment automation tool, I wouldn't switch to CA Release Automation, because of the CA strategy."

"The level of abstraction in the VPL needs to improve."

"Error handling needs to be improved in some of the action packs."

"Initial setup was extremely complex due to infrastructure challenges and the specs required to get this implemented."

"It is possible to have a lot of execution servers, but you can’t put them in a balanced pool of servers."

More Nolio Release Automation cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."

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

"I can save time and money more quickly."

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