What is our primary use case?
I use AutoRABIT Automated Release Management (ARM) mainly for RBC; as an nCino developer, I use it for RBC migration, deploying RBC from one sandbox to another sandbox, and we also handle prod deployments through AutoRABIT Automated Release Management (ARM). We also use the deployment part of it for metadata deployments and for committing our changes to Git branch; I use mainly these three parts.
We don't use a complete CI/CD pipeline with AutoRABIT Automated Release Management (ARM), but we have integrated it with Bitbucket and GitHub; we use the branching strategy without using complete YAML files and Jenkins.
On a scale of 1 to 10, I would rate AutoRABIT Automated Release Management (ARM) as an eight or nine.
What is most valuable?
I appreciate the part of AutoRABIT Automated Release Management (ARM) where I don't have to do different commits on Git; if I'm deploying anything from one org to another org, I can just deploy it to a branch as well, so I value that feature, as we don't have to do any extra deployments for that.
Because of AutoRABIT Automated Release Management (ARM), we don't have to do anything extra for audit purposes; we have a few audit requirements where they want to see everything deployed in one sprint, and since we set it as yes, which deploys to branch, it takes care of that whole part, and we don't have to do anything extra for that, which was beneficial for us.
AutoRABIT Automated Release Management (ARM) helps with real-time analytics; there are a few things such as profile comparison and org comparison that help us a lot, particularly if we have any permission issues, so those things are very useful to us.
Everything is in one place with AutoRABIT Automated Release Management (ARM), which we love; we don't have to use Inspector for data migration, and it's not that we have to use multiple tools; it's everything in one tool, which is our most used, go-to solution. For Git and Bitbucket, we don't even have to go to those orgs specifically; we can set it up through AutoRABIT Automated Release Management (ARM) and don't have to open it at all, and one license covers everything, which I appreciate. AutoRABIT Automated Release Management (ARM) also has data management features, so I value those as well; if we have any major data manipulations, we can do data uploads and other things through AutoRABIT Automated Release Management (ARM), and we don't have to do anything extra.
I am using the automated backup feature of AutoRABIT Automated Release Management (ARM) as well, and we are using it within one sandbox where we are taking backups.
What needs improvement?
Merging scenarios in AutoRABIT Automated Release Management (ARM) could be better; also, a few things which could improve include nCino RBC configuration, as sometimes if we have any extra lookup fields which are not configured by nCino, AutoRABIT Automated Release Management (ARM) sometimes misses those lookups to create the records or fetch those objects from our previous org to the next org, so I would feel more comfortable for RBC if AutoRABIT Automated Release Management (ARM) takes care of that too.
I haven't seen anything enhanced in AutoRABIT Automated Release Management (ARM) such as the ability to take a backup of RBC migrations as well, so how it works for metadata, deploying it from one org to another and deploying the same thing to the branch, I would like to see if we can do the same with RBCs also.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using AutoRABIT Automated Release Management (ARM) for the last five years, for deployments and all other purposes.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
We had a few issues with AutoRABIT Automated Release Management (ARM) where it started taking too much time to deploy things, but we found out they had some server issues at that particular time; AutoRABIT informed us to wait a while, and after restarting the whole system, it started working again, and other than that, we don't face many major downtime issues.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
AutoRABIT Automated Release Management (ARM) is scalable, and we can scale it however we want to.
How are customer service and support?
The initial setup of AutoRABIT Automated Release Management (ARM) was easy and much easier than expected; even when we faced some issues, we had an AutoRABIT support person who was there in the call and showed us if we were missing anything, so he was there to help us out.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
I've used different products such as the normal Jenkins pipeline and data workbench; for data updates, we used Salesforce Inspector, so we used many tools, but once we got introduced to AutoRABIT Automated Release Management (ARM), we stuck to that.
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup of AutoRABIT Automated Release Management (ARM) was easy and much easier than expected; even when we faced some issues, we had an AutoRABIT support person who was there in the call and showed us if we were missing anything, so he was there to help us out.
What about the implementation team?
On a scale of 1 to 10, I would rate AutoRABIT tech support as an eight, or even a nine.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
We did evaluate another solution, Copado, but it was not giving us anything specific to nCino; when we adopted AutoRABIT Automated Release Management (ARM), it provided us with a special, specific package for nCino, and it was a good demo as well, with the assurance that the whole RBC's part would be covered, so we didn't have to worry about that.
What other advice do I have?
I'm quite confident with AutoRABIT Automated Release Management (ARM) regarding data integrity; I don't feel there's any mishap with it, and I feel comfortable working with AutoRABIT Automated Release Management (ARM).
I would say that if organizations are using nCino and developing anything on nCino, then they should go for AutoRABIT Automated Release Management (ARM) without any second thoughts; that's my recommendation, as it takes care of everything, and I feel more comfortable using AutoRABIT Automated Release Management (ARM) compared to any other tool when developing anything related to nCino.
I haven't used data masking yet. I would rate this review an overall 8 out of 10.
