Stability Issues

Sentiment score
7.9
Digital.ai Release is stable and reliable, with minor errors often attributed to less stable deployment environments like IBM WebSphere.

Nolio Release Automation's stability varies; newer versions improve performance, yet large-scale deployments sometimes experience challenges and slowness.
My overall impression of the stability of Digital.ai Release is that it is good, although my problem lies with where we deploy to, which is currently not stable at the moment.
Software Configuration Specialist at a insurance company with 10,001+ employees
Digital.ai Release is very stable from my perspective.
Release Manager at a consultancy with 201-500 employees
This might be because it is a six-year-old version, and we are supporting nearly 1,500 applications and 15,000 to 16,000 agents.

Room For Improvement

Digital.ai Release requires UI improvements, better onboarding, enhanced automation, integration options, and flexible pricing to optimize user experience.
Users seek better UI, stability, documentation, integration, and cost-efficiency in Nolio Release Automation for improved 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
I would appreciate standardized training material that would give me hands-on experience.
Application Architect at a insurance company with 1,001-5,000 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
It is one of the greatest tools for continuous deployment, yet its popularity remains limited.

Nolio Release Automation offers user-friendly, no-code deployment with flexible OS support, reducing errors and operational costs.
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.

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.
