Software Engineer at a outsourcing company with 201-500 employees
Improved daily delivery has streamlined workflows and saved time for developers and operations
Akuity Platform has most of the features, but I think they should include some more features, such as the feature where we specify the URLs of the Argo CD workflow, which I liked, but it would be good if they include more of those features on the platform. Integration with Akuity Platform is quite good as they have integrations with almost all the related CI/CD products, but I think in terms of performance, they can improve upon that because sometimes it does get laggy, maybe due to high pressure, and anything can be the reason for that, but they can improve on the performance part.

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

"Overall, Akuity Platform has impacted our organization positively as the DevOps team is quite happy because first, they do not have to manage their own Argo CD, and second, it is quite user-friendly for them as well as for the developers, saving time for us."
"Akuity Platform has positively impacted our organization by helping us reduce the overall onboarding time from days to hours for thousands of applications, achieving secure, consistent GitOps at scale."
"Akuity Platform has impacted my organization positively through ease of onboarding and ease of use; we do not have to rely on difficult trainings for new joiners."
"In my opinion, the best features of Akuity Platform include the GitOps-first model that makes deployments predictable and auditable, a good UI for visualizing the application state versus the desired state, easy rollback and sync control during deployment, good compatibility with Kubernetes native tooling and manifests, and a strong open-source ecosystem with great documentation."
"We've integrated it with our ticketing system to automatically trigger deployments and update tickets accordingly, saving a lot of manual effort."
"This is one of the best tools that we have; it is helping us to meet our automation goals and to reach 100% DevOps enablement."
"This is purely an automation tool which has helped us to move from traditional manual deployments to zero-touch deployments."
"The release time has gone down from a number of days to a few minutes."
"It's a lot easier to deploy software through CA than using a manual process or through GPOs."
"We have the repeatability, we have the confidence that it's doing the same thing each time the way we've set it up to do and just being able to have the expectation of knowing exactly what's going to happen in the order that our infrastructure needs it to happen."
"It’s an enterprise-class continuous delivery solution that takes release automation to the next level, providing an agile and collaborative application delivery chain."
"It now takes around two hours for us to deploy any product, whereas it used to take close to two months, including preparation."
 

Cons

"From a perspective of support feedback, it is a bit slow, so I would like them to fix that and make it more seamless."
"In terms of improvement for Akuity Platform, I would say that the RBAC and multi-application setup takes time to configure correctly."
"Integration with Akuity Platform is quite good as they have integrations with almost all the related CI/CD products, but I think in terms of performance, they can improve upon that because sometimes it does get laggy, maybe due to high pressure, and anything can be the reason for that, but they can improve on the performance part."
"When I started using Nolio around eight months ago, a challenge was the lack of relevant information and related support for learning."
"The learning curve for this tool is somewhat steep."
"It is an expensive tool and the licensing model is difficult to sell."
"It is an expensive tool and the licensing model is difficult to sell."
"Whenever we pick a new solution and we try to install it, there are some hiccups in the initial stage."
"Stability is an area for improvement."
"It’s not scalable; we can never deploy this in an HA environment."
"To visually find a particular process, flow or action, the GUI needs to be improved, and also made faster as well."
