Besides for the flash GUI which is a pain, it includes all of the features we were looking for.
We used an in-house developed scripting solution for the main parts of our deployments and complemented that with error-prone manual steps accompanied by huge hard to maintain deployment manuals. We wanted to implement a Continuous Delivery methodology combined with a DevOps culture and therefor needed to speed up deployments as well as delivering better quality products to our customers. We switched because our scripting solution would not be able to deliver on those key features. Plus, we also are in the process of switching from IBM Websphere application servers on Windows to a new target platform (JBoss EAP on Linux (RHEL)). So in the long run the scripting solution which was targeted on IBM Websphere needed a lot of work, if at all it would survive.

Everyone deploys with the same tools, which helps with standardization, transparency and risk awareness. However, we have stability issues on a daily basis as we push the edges of the tool.
We push the edges of the tool, so we have a lot of stability issues on a daily basis. The database interface, the users who access that data – when it goes down it affects a lot of clients. It impacts a lot of applications once it breaks up. There are misinterpretations of data between an application if it’s written in a certain way, fit to use with different databases for examples with the hibernate layer, the layer can wrongly execute. The RA product itself is able to produce queries which you can easily program, but which translate into taking a huge amount of memory which is not available in a server. If you’re in an ROC you see an overview of all your deployments, maybe 25-50 deployments with the query underneath, which queries everything that hasn’t been run. For several hundred applications that translates into huge overhead and performance problems. We’re working very closely with CA to address these problems.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"This product is an innovative market leader in the field of application deployment."
"One standout aspect is its architecture. We can configure multiple instances on a single server using different system names or usernames."
"The CA Application Insight feature is the solution's most valuable aspect."
"The graphical view of when you're writing flow is the most valuable feature."
 

Cons

"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."
"The tool needs to improve on cloud-native GitOps."
"It could use better integration with development tools."
"In the next release, I would like to see more features to use active directory. And more rules to support more Python scripts and to work with Kubernetes and clouds, to have an easy solution for a lot of parameters."
"When I started using Nolio around eight months ago, a challenge was the lack of relevant information and related support for learning."
"A concern with CA Release Automation is that Automic was acquired by CA recently. We're a bit concerned that CA strategy is going with Automic, that CA Release Automation is dead. They are not investing in it too much... They do say, that in the next two or three years we don't need to worry. They will still provide support for CA Release Automation. But we're not sure how CA Release Automation will evolve."
"The configuration of the solution is a bit difficult to maneuver. They should work to make it easier."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Pricing costs are based on annual subscriptions."
"The product’s pricing is acceptable. We get volume discounts."
"Nolio is a pretty much good tool, though its pricing is relatively high in the market. It's more expensive than other tools."
