The main benefit is you can deploy everything with it, but everybody has to need to use this tool in the organization

The main benefit is you can deploy everything with it, but everybody has to need to use this tool in the organization. If some organizations have their own tool, it is hard to make it clear that ARA would be better if everyone used it, because it provides a benefit when you can monitor all the users.

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

"You can design your workflows for your needs."

"The main benefit is you can deploy everything with it."

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

"The product provides efficiency, in terms time, cost, and resources."

"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 IT process automation is the most valuable aspect of this solution."

"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."

More Automic Continuous Delivery Automation [EOL] pros

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

"One standout aspect is its architecture. We can configure multiple instances on a single server using different system names or usernames."

"The graphical view of when you're writing flow is the most valuable feature."

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."

"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."

"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."

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

"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."

"The stability of the solution can be improved."

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

"It would be very beneficial for us to see integrations into cloud environments, especially into the Google Cloud environment because we are heading towards cloud."

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."

"It could use better integration with development tools."

"The configuration of the solution is a bit difficult to maneuver. They should work to make it easier."

"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."

"When I started using Nolio around eight months ago, a challenge was the lack of relevant information and related support for learning."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I can save time and money more quickly."

"Customers often complain about the price."

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

"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."

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