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.

DevOps Delivery Engineer at Barclays Capital
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

"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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"Deployments have been automated fully and now all the teams follow a single, error-free approach of deployment, which is time saving and seldom faults."
"The solution has been really helpful with its flowchart-type interface; we can easily configure the deployments through drag and drop functionality, and we can define the process and components using the flowchart."
"This is purely an automation tool which has helped us to move from traditional manual deployments to zero-touch deployments."
"Deployment workflows has not only increased the confidence in the release process, but also opens up a whole new world to automate the deployment for not just code, but DB, network appliances, application servers, and AWS."
"The UI makes it easier for non-engineers to understand."
"Its benefits to us are of pulling our project together and making us more efficient."
"UI-based orchestration Ease of use of the application from anyone who is technical to completely non-tech folk Great visualization and consolidation of reports across the organization"
"CA Release Automation gave us the flexibility to deploy multiple components in multiple environments."
 

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."
"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."
"In terms of improvement for Akuity Platform, I would say that the RBAC and multi-application setup takes time to configure correctly."
"There are some stability issues. Sometimes, the server crashes or throws out of memory."
"If I were to consider investing in a new deployment automation tool, I wouldn't switch to CA Release Automation, because of the CA strategy."
"The performance degrades as the size of the workflow and the number of target servers increases."
"Well, I'm looking forward to seeing different kinds of scheduling options and being able to troubleshoot more real time if something does go wrong."
"We did have stability issues. The tool slows down often."
"Tags are virtual snapshots of different deployment processes. Over time, if you often update your processes, it gets hard to track what exact changes were made between the different tags of the same process."
"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."
"The automation tool is a very good deployment engine but it's not fitting our release orchestration process so we have to go for another tool to handle the orchestration, integrate the tool with the release automation."
