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 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."
"Its ability to automate release deployments, streamline release scope, and reduce the cost of and time for 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."
"The most valuable feature is the thorough coordination of software delivery across multiple environments, where multiple actors (typically business stakeholders, devs and ops engineers, release engineers, testers, and change managers) can easily cooperate to ensure a proper and repeatable delivery by combining constant follow-up on manual and automated activities."
"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 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."
"It's the simplicity; it's very simple to use and deploy and deliver, and it works."
"The main quality is still to have a One Click process, then you save precious time."
"The product has a flexibility that allows it to work with various deployments and various technologies."
"We find it to be a very good fit for what we need to accomplish and it's very easy to manage and to maintain it from an enterprise skill perspective, as well."
"Quicker and more solid installations."
"It has been a key enabler for us to implement Continuous Delivery and DevOps across the organisation, increasing release frequency by a factor of approximately 10 and reducing re-deployments by a factor of 50."
"The product sounds good thanks to its UI, as it is really easy to perform a deployment when things work."
"Customer support is excellent, quick response from product specialists."
"This product is an innovative market leader in the field of application deployment."
 

Cons

"The product's development has been stopped. It focuses on maintaining existing products."
"Automic Continuous Delivery Director can improve the integrations. We have 25 but would like more."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"CDD and RA should be two modules in the same product. They do not automatically “talk” to each other. and they require endpoint definition."
"Unfortunately, today in CDD, we don't have that capacity to integrate the testing yet."
"GUI: uses Adobe Flash which is a bit of a pain (Soon to be replaced by a new GUI with HTML5 and AngularJS)."
"The basic design is broken, as it computes diffs to perform updates."
"The tool needs to improve on cloud-native GitOps."
"Documentation / initial setup / learning curve."
"The solution currently has a bug that causes performance issues. They need to resolve this in a future release."
"Our customers have not been happy with technical support. They need to do much better to help clients solve issues."
"Customer service was not very good."
"I’d like better reporting possibilities."
 

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."
"The product’s pricing is acceptable. We get volume discounts."
"Pricing costs are based on annual subscriptions."
