Room For Improvement

Digital.ai Deploy needs an updated interface and documentation, with improved support due to performance issues and plugin challenges.
Digital.ai Release requires UI improvements, better onboarding, enhanced automation, integration options, and flexible pricing to optimize user experience.
If we had an API that could be used on the user side, similar to the one in JIRA where we can create a personal token without granting full access to Digital.ai Release, I could have my script automate the process instead of fulfilling the template field by field, which would be excellent.
Release Manager at a consultancy with 201-500 employees
Seeing the logs is challenging because we need to open multiple windows, and it does not display in full screen, which could definitely be improved.
Senior Technology Architect at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees
I would appreciate standardized training material that would give me hands-on experience.

Digital.ai Release offers orchestration, automation, template reusability, and integration, enhancing release efficiency with real-time notifications and role-based approvals.
We don't need to make a specific deployment artifact for dev, test, or production; it is all the same artifact using environment variables, ensuring what we take to production is what was tested.
Software Configuration Specialist at a insurance company with 10,001+ employees
Digital.ai Release has positively impacted the organization I currently work for at a very high level, mainly because it has allowed us to automate many tasks that previously required manual intervention.

Standardized releases have reduced errors and now streamline our cloud resource management
To improve Digital.ai Release, I think the user interface could be improved. For example, I have a plan phase before my build phase, and sometimes the toggle button is hidden. I have to toggle it before the step can be executed, or it will be skipped. Many people who did not use Digital.ai Release before do not even know there is a toggle button, and the first time when they run into that phase, they will definitely skip that step. Regarding needed improvements, I did not do extensive reading on documentation or training material directly from Digital.ai Release. My knowledge comes from the team who has been using it. However, I would appreciate standardized training material that would give me hands-on experience.
