YashBrahmani - PeerSpot reviewer
Offers a clear visualization and overview of workflows and helpful in managing CI/CD processes
Improvement in the sense that they can do better in terms of management of logs and stuff like that because the console logs are very extensive, and that causes a lot of storage issues. That is one of the things which is there. Also, with respect to the traditional platform and the modern platform, many things have upgraded, and it has quite improved. But when we talk about the performance of the agents, it’s still very crucial because it’s not up to par. It takes a lot of time to provision the agent and to finish the build because of the SSH connection and the JNLP connection. Due to that, sometimes the agent doesn’t get provisioned. Those are some of the blockers that meet up the time in terms of administering the instance.

Effectively automates deployments and applies one template across applications
Our company uses the solution to handle deployments for new releases. Whenever there is a new release, the solution creates a new provision template for deployment. We also orchestrate and manage all users. We integrate with other tools like GitHub, Jenkins, or Digital.ai Deploy to manage…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The security audit product offered by CloudBees is particularly beneficial in automating audit processes, which reduces the time developers spend on audits."
"CloudBees's user interface is very simple and user-friendly."
"CloudBees assists by automating tasks, previously done manually, in the pipeline setup."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is that its GUI is quite simple."
"It can manage multiple Jenkins instances."
"The most valuable features are Java features, microservice communication, payment validation, Jenkins Sonar, management master to CloudBees, Blue Ocean, JobConfig, and support."
"CloudBees operates seamlessly. Deploying to a cluster is straightforward—just one click, and the job is done."
"The solution's most valuable feature is its flexibility."
"The orchestration, building the release, and then just executing it and managing that pipeline — the orchestration capabilities are great for that."
"The most valuable feature of Digital.ai Release is its ability to communicate with various deployment systems, such as XLD and batch deployments, as well as integrate with tools, such as Flyway and Bamboo. We use Bamboo as our build orchestrator, and Digital.ai Release also integrates with Jira, another Atlassian solution. These capabilities make it a powerful tool for managing workflow, test automation, and other processes."
"The solution can apply one template across multiple applications."
"The time is also reduced because the manual work has tremendously decreased. We just have to click one button, and it will create everything for us."
 

Cons

"I noticed that CloudBees runs too slowly because some applications run more than 50 pipelines."
"The platform could integrate better with other tools and support external tools directly."
"I would like to see improved speed and availability."
"A lot of stability issues are there with CloudBees."
"It could improve the document upload process."
"There are connection issues with CloudBees, specifically between Sybase and CloudBees. W"
"The user interface of CloudBees is good but could be even more intuitive. Improving the user-friendliness of the interface and having simpler setup configurations would greatly benefit new users."
"To use the tool, you need to be familiar with the tool itself and with how it will be incorporated into the culture."
"The backfill could be improved, we could automate that. Right now it's subjective — it's up to the lead developer's memory to remember to backfill."
"Currently, we put artifact details manually. What we could improve, in our case, is the deployment instruction base. Developers input all the information, including which artifact and where it needs to be deployed. What Digital.ai could do is automatically go to the deployment instruction page, take those artifact details, and implement them."
"The solution is a little bit expensive."
"Digital.ai Release could improve by having a better plugin that works with Guardian that we use for mainframe migrations. If there could be an interface or plugin for Guardian that would be beneficial."
