Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, GitLab, Red Hat and others in Release Automation."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 main benefit is you can deploy everything with it."
"We have saved on our time costs and have seen more quality."
"The metrics gathered after deployment, for example, the rate of success versus the rate of failure."
"It is an umbrella system that allows us to integrate many different systems into our heterogeneous environment."
"The IT process automation is the most valuable aspect of this solution."
"The event monitor is very good. You can monitor when the file is created so you can pick up the file once it's done."
"It provides a wonderful user interface which is easy to use."
"The automation manager is very good."
"The user interface is well-built and very easy to navigate around."
"Since it is in YAML, if I have to explain it to somebody else, they can easily understand it."
"This solution allows us to stitch a lot of different parts of the workflow together."
"The API for exposing all our infrastructure services is the most valuable feature."
"The solution is very simple to use."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"Ansible is agentless. So, we don't need to set up any agent into the computer we are interacting with. The only prerequisite is that the host with which we are going to interact must have the Python interpreter installed on it. We can connect to a host and do our configuration by using Ansible."
"The stability of the solution can be improved."
"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."
"Not a perfect ten because the user interface is brand new and it needs improvement."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"The product could do a better job at building infrastructure."
"The documentation for the installation step of deployment, OpenStack, etc., and these things have to be a bit more detailed."
"It could be easier to integrate Ansible with other solutions. No single tool can do everything. For example, we use Terraform for infrastructure and other solutions for configuration management and VMs."
"The solution is slightly expensive, and its pricing could be improved."
"The governance features could be improved."
"Documentation could be improved. Many times, if I'm looking for something, I have to Google it in a lot of places, then figure out what the best approach will be. There are some best practices documents, but they don't give you the information."
"For a couple of the API integrations, there has been a lack of documentation."
"There could be more stuff in the workflows. I hope that if I have ten templates with different services on it, workflow could auto-populate all the template-based services."
