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.

It offers OOTB plugins for middleware.

By standardizing the automated deployment application process, reducing the amount of errors due to manual steps and by providing visibility into the release cycles of various teams/applications, we've improved our global efficiency by at least 25% and still counting, since we've only used the product for a short period of time.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

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

"I would say our headwind, or our time to market, is reduced considerably. We get more consistent results out of it, because you write one time and once it's automated you expect it to behave the same way every time. And it cut down a lot of re-work for us."

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

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

"It is an umbrella system that allows us to integrate many different systems into our heterogeneous environment."

"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."

"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."

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

More Automic Continuous Delivery Automation [EOL] pros

"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."

"Stable solution that's good for automating the CI/CD pipeline: from development to production."

"The solution handles complex deployments very efficiently."

"The most valuable feature is the snapshot functionality, which allows us to access previous versions of the artifacts."

"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."

Cons

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

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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

"The interface allows access in a number of ways but that can be confusing."

"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 see more reporting for container architecture."

"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 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."

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."

"I can save time and money more quickly."

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

"The licensing fees for this solution are based on the number of servers that are being deployed and the number of agents that you have."

"The cost of the solution is high but it offers great ROI."

"Considering COVID-19, the price is too high."
