Cons
"GUI for mobile phones: Availability to approve and start deployment through mobile phones.""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.""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.""We hope that we can integrate the new CD Directive into our portfolio, so we can bring the deployment and release management closer together.""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.""I would like to see more support for WebSphere.""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.""key thing is support for cloud-based deployment. That is lacking."

More Automic Continuous Delivery Automation Cons →

"At the beginning the initial setup was kind of complex.""It's a bit of a pain point to make sure that everything works once we've upgraded it because Puppet has been evolving pretty fast.""Puppet Enterprise is more complex and difficult to configure.""We would like Puppet to add more integration for applications.""There's a lot of scope for enhancement on the DevSecOps side. They should definitely include features for compliance, for both the Linux and Windows side of the devices, as well as for network devices. Compliance is something they need to work on.""The solution has really complex code, you have to understand the Ruby language. However, once you know the code then you can move ahead without any problems.""Puppet Enterprise should improve the general extensibility for places where they can't install it."
