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.

Easy to set up with intuitive UI and good reliability

I haven't used support. Since it is on-prem, our tech support would manage to troubleshoot. There might have been instances where there have been some issues with the on-prem version that I don't know of. Our tech support may have touched base with the. However, I don't have that level of visibility.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It provides a wonderful user interface which is easy to use."

"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."

"It is an umbrella system that allows us to integrate many different systems into our heterogeneous environment."

"It gives us good feedback on visualizations and on how our processes have progressed."

"I think on a day-to-day basis, it has increased the capacity to deploy. We don't have to wait for someone to do something."

"The IT process automation is the most valuable aspect of this solution."

"The main benefit is you can deploy everything with it."

"The capability to provide visibility to the stakeholders, to management, is the biggest piece that showcases what the solution is about."

More Automic Continuous Delivery Automation [EOL] pros

"The UI is very intuitive."

"The rollback feature has been most valuable. We can write scripts from scratch. Octopus maintains an independent package for every deployment."

"Deployment is valuable. It deploys well."

Cons

"GUI for mobile phones: Availability to approve and start deployment through mobile phones."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"There needs to be better error handling and error descriptions. It should be more clear what the errors are and what we can do to fix them."

More Automic Continuous Delivery Automation [EOL] cons

"There could be scope for more integration with other platforms."

"This solution could be improved by making it easier to divide variables in YAML file or JSON files."

"You've got to jump through a few hoops to get some things configured, but if set up, you can do so many different things in it. So, there is complexity."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."

"Customers often complain about the price."

"I don't know the exact cost, but it's not exorbitant. It may be a couple of thousand dollars a year or something like that. I'm not sure, but it's reasonable. We get value for money out of it."
