An automation solution to automate the entire release process but lacks development

Automic eliminates a lot of error mishandling. If implemented, it can save a significant amount of money. It requires a substantial investment upfront because it eliminates the need for manual intervention in each process or job. Essentially, an operator oversees the releases, ensuring they are ready for release without needing to understand the intricacies of the process. This streamlines the release process and allows for monitoring at every step, reducing manual errors and providing automation, as the name "Automic" suggests. Automic offers a wide range of out-of-the-box integrations, available through its marketplace. This includes monitoring tools, release processes, and various other tools, making it a comprehensive solution.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable feature for me is the fact that you can easily design a pipeline to promote applications from a development environment up to a production environment, and the team can become autonomous in designing those pipelines."

"CDD is primarily used for showing end users (managers, business teams, project managers, and release managers) what is happening with each release. The status and reporting features are very important. Automation reduces time to deploy. It also allows us to do more with releases and testing prior to production, better guaranteeing a smooth deployment."

"The most valuable features of Automic Continuous Delivery Director are the UI, release planning, and tracking, and you can do your soft and hard freeze through CDP."

"Its ability to automate release deployments, streamline release scope, and reduce the cost of and time for deployment."

"The second valuable aspect is its capability to drive external systems like deployment automation engines or to integrate with Agile Central."

"Its extensive range of available connectors eliminates the need for manual code writing when implementing solutions, thus reducing coding efforts."

"This product is an innovative market leader in the field of application deployment."

"The solution creates a manifest file that caps the bridge between the developer and the system admin."

"The solution's most valuable aspect is that it is vendor-agnostic and it has a file called Manifest, which makes it possible for developers, ops people, and system admins to cooperate."

Cons

"We would like to have a more user-friendly interface. It is already very friendly, but as soon as you start to have many applications with many tasks, the applications should be easier to manipulate on the screen."

"Automic Continuous Delivery Director can improve the integrations. We have 25 but would like more."

"We have rolled out the SAFe model, but what we would like to have is better integration with Agile Central, for instance, or at least at the plugin level, where we would select only certain stories instead of many stories in the sprint."

"Reporting and dashboarding could be improved. Release pipelines should be creatable via templates as well as easily integrable/chained together. Visual navigation could also be improved when the pipelines become too large."

"CDD and RA should be two modules in the same product. They do not automatically “talk” to each other. and they require endpoint definition."

"The product's development has been stopped. It focuses on maintaining existing products."

"The tool needs to improve on cloud-native GitOps."

"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."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There is a free trial available that people can try. The solution has a subscription and it is based on the users that use the solution."

"Pricing costs are based on annual subscriptions."

"The product’s pricing is acceptable. We get volume discounts."
