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.

Good solution for heterogeneous enterprise environments that have different workflows
The solution is for heterogeneous enterprise environments that have different workflows like Kubernetes, Linux, Windows, and mainframe The solution creates a manifest file that caps the bridge between the developer and the system admin. The tool needs to improve on cloud-native GitOps. I have…

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The capability to provide visibility to the stakeholders, to management, is the biggest piece that showcases what the solution is about."
"The IT process automation is the most valuable aspect of this solution."
"We increased our quality and reduced our time costs."
"At the end of the day, at the end of the year, CA offered the best package overall, and that wasn't just from a product standpoint but also a support standpoint."
"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."
"The metrics gathered after deployment, for example, the rate of success versus the rate of failure."
"It can support very complex environments and dependencies."
"You can automate everything you want."
"For us the flexibility of this product is nice, we can manage several things within one file and by giving parameters to the deployables."
"Jenkins deployment was hard to maintain different environments, different variables, machines etc., now we have it all under one roof."
"The solution creates a manifest file that caps the bridge between the developer and the system admin."
"This product is an innovative market leader in the field of application deployment."
"Customer support is excellent, quick response from product specialists."
"The main quality is still to have a One Click process, then you save precious time."
"The product sounds good thanks to its UI, as it is really easy to perform a deployment when things work."
"Quicker and more solid installations."
 

Cons

"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 is a little bit of a learning curve in learning how to code some of the workflows in Automic at this time. If widely used languages like Perl and Python were integrated, on top of what's already there, the proprietary language, it would make it easier to on-board new resources."
"File transfer is not very efficient. It takes a bit longer than some other methods and when you send the file from one platform to another, especially from the mainframe, the results consumption is quite high compared to other methods."
"We hope that we can integrate the new CD Directive into our portfolio, so we can bring the deployment and release management closer together."
"The first time setup can be very complicated."
"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."
"It would be very beneficial for us to see integrations into cloud environments, especially into the Google Cloud environment because we are heading towards cloud."
"GUI for mobile phones: Availability to approve and start deployment through mobile phones."
"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."
"The GUI deserves some improvements."
"GUI: uses Adobe Flash which is a bit of a pain (Soon to be replaced by a new GUI with HTML5 and AngularJS)."
"While it is a flexible product and provides a means of integrating with virtually anything, the company should make a better effort to keep up with new platform integrations."
"The solution currently has a bug that causes performance issues. They need to resolve this in a future release."
"Documentation / initial setup / learning curve."
"Customer service was not very good."
"I’d like better reporting possibilities."
"The basic design is broken, as it computes diffs to perform updates."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Customers often complain about the price."
"We increased our quality and reduced our time costs."
"I can save time and money more quickly."
"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."
"Pricing costs are based on annual subscriptions."
"The product’s pricing is acceptable. We get volume discounts."
