Principal Project Engineer at a computer software company with 501-1,000 employees
Automatic installation for complex deployments and environments, with good workflow support
I like that really complex deployments are possible with it. It's very good. You have everything you need. You can design your workflows for your needs. You can do so much more, it's not just an automatic installation tool. It's a real deployment tool. I can do the complete deployment with everything that is possible.

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

"The main benefit is you can deploy everything with it."
"The product provides efficiency, in terms time, cost, and resources."
"The measurement and the display functions make it easy to report all the statuses up to management, and it has helped our customers with their time, costs, and resources."
"I like that really complex deployments are possible with it."
"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."
"We increased our quality and reduced our time costs."
"The agents are one of the solution's most valuable features, and I like agents for file transfers so you can transfer the files from agent to agent on the different platforms."
"The IT process automation is the most valuable aspect of this solution."
"The UI makes it easier for non-engineers to understand."
"It's a stable product."
"It has reduced deployment times from nearly a couple of hours to around a couple of minutes, especially on production environments."
"The graphical view of when you're writing flow is the most valuable feature."
"It has significantly improved the workload balance of the people that are part of my group and has helped us to get things done around 70 to 80% faster than before."
"The release deployment pipeline in CA RA is the most valuable feature of them all, as it shows the environment and the release version currently deployed for each application."
"It is a very good product and can help the organizations in the long run, which will lead to higher customer satisfaction."
"For my organization, in particular, it’s going to improve our throughput; we're not going to have delays in testing because we had some sort of manual entry error or transposition error, and we should be able to release our software to the customer in a much more efficient fashion."
 

Cons

"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."
"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."
"GUI for mobile phones: Availability to approve and start deployment through mobile phones."
"key thing is support for cloud-based deployment. That is lacking."
"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."
"At the moment, the version that we are using (version 12.0), the environment is complex with multiple installations. Therefore, the monitoring is not scalable, but this should be improved in 12.1 and 12.2."
"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 are some bugs. For example, during the design of a workflow, important information is lost, it vanishes."
"Mainframe automation is one of the biggest challenges for us and currently the product doesn’t address it."
"We did have stability issues. The tool slows down often."
"There are some stability issues. Sometimes, the server crashes or throws out of memory."
"How the product could really improve is when we were actually given the product and started to implement it, we were looking to CA to provide best-case scenarios. But because we're so unique, we had no templates to work off of."
"We couldn’t get the support, and we weren’t able to achieve our goals, and there were no other plug-ins available for JIRA or Jenkins."
"Technical Support: 7/10 because they can be more efficient to solve issues, and you always have to prove that the issues don’t come from your infrastructure but from the product."
"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."
"Error handling needs to be improved in some of the action packs."
 

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."
"I can save time and money more quickly."
"We increased our quality and reduced our time costs."
"Customers often complain about the price."
"Nolio is a pretty much good tool, though its pricing is relatively high in the market. It's more expensive than other tools."
