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

"They have gained efficiency that they cannot achieve in any other way."
"The capability to provide visibility to the stakeholders, to management, is the biggest piece that showcases what the solution is about."
"What we like about the product is that it is more or less an umbrella system that allows us to integrate many different systems into our heterogeneous environment."
"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."
"It is a very stable solution and we can rely on pressing a button to perform a full-stack automatic installation that reliably finishes in eight hours instead of a problematic three-week manual installation."
"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."
"The metrics gathered after deployment, for example, the rate of success versus the rate of failure."
"It can support very complex environments and dependencies."
"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."
"With CA Release Automation, the customers whom I worked with were able to increase the number of deployments, increase the deployment speed, increase the number of concurrent deployments, lower the error rate, and improve the visibility and the reliability of the deployment process."
"The CA Application Insight feature is the solution's most valuable aspect."
"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"
"It’s an enterprise-class continuous delivery solution that takes release automation to the next level, providing an agile and collaborative application delivery chain."
"One standout aspect is its architecture. We can configure multiple instances on a single server using different system names or usernames."
"We previously used a different solution, and CA Release Automation really makes life easier as follows: it has a large number of available actions, deployment pipeline and approval gateway features that increase security to the deployment flow, and it integrates with service desk tools."
"Applications that have been on boarded into the Release Automation application have shown a decrease in deployment time and down time for maintenance."
 

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."
"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."
"key thing is support for cloud-based deployment. That is lacking."
"I would like to see more support for WebSphere."
"Not a perfect ten because the user interface is brand new and it needs improvement."
"The first time setup can be very complicated."
"The stability of the solution can be improved."
"Stability-wise I think it still needs to be improved; performance-wise. It crashes from time to time."
"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."
"The UI is very quirky, with numerous small frustrating bugs."
"I would like to see improving the shared component features."
"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."
"The learning curve for this tool is somewhat steep."
"To visually find a particular process, flow or action, the GUI needs to be improved, and also made faster as well."
"It was complex in the beginning, and now its quite straightforward."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"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."
