Application Architect at a insurance company with 1,001-5,000 employees
This means four to five hours saved for one QA on each release, and with multiple QAs doing multiple releases across our three or four different brands, we are saving days within a week.

Nolio Release Automation customer service is efficient and responsive, but users seek improvements in expertise and regional support.
Regarding tech support from Digital.ai Release, I would rate them high because as a big multinational company working with people's money, it is crucial to have support, high availability, data integrity, and security, which this product ticks all the boxes.

Scalability Issues

Sentiment score
6.7
Digital.ai Release excels in scalable enterprise orchestration, efficiently managing diverse deployments and user groups, but lacks auto-scaling features.
Sentiment score
7.0
Nolio Release Automation offers flexible scaling for many, although some face limitations with HA capabilities and infrastructure challenges.
Digital.ai Release's scalability is very good, as we can add any number of users and expand it organization-wide or to a handful of teams.
Test Manager at a manufacturing company with 501-1,000 employees
Digital.ai Release's scalability seems to be adequate.

Stability Issues

Sentiment score
8.0
Digital.ai Release is rated highly reliable by users, executing workflows smoothly with minor issues mostly tied to deployment environments.
Sentiment score
6.4
Nolio Release Automation's stability varies; newer versions improve performance, yet large-scale deployments sometimes experience challenges and slowness.
My overall impression of the stability of Digital.ai Release is that it is good, although my problem lies with where we deploy to, which is currently not stable at the moment.
Software Configuration Specialist at a insurance company with 10,001+ employees
Digital.ai Release is very stable from my perspective.
Release Manager at a consultancy with 201-500 employees
This might be because it is a six-year-old version, and we are supporting nearly 1,500 applications and 15,000 to 16,000 agents.

Room For Improvement

Digital.ai Release needs improved simplicity, better integration, enhanced troubleshooting, intuitive design, expanded options, and competitive pricing to satisfy users.
Users seek better UI, stability, documentation, integration, and cost-efficiency in Nolio Release Automation for improved user experience.
If we had an API that could be used on the user side, similar to the one in JIRA where we can create a personal token without granting full access to Digital.ai Release, I could have my script automate the process instead of fulfilling the template field by field, which would be excellent.
Release Manager at a consultancy with 201-500 employees
New users may take time to understand release pipelines and templates, so more guided onboarding tutorials and documentation would help them adapt easily.
Cloud Platform at Futurescape
I would appreciate standardized training material that would give me hands-on experience.
Application Architect at a insurance company with 1,001-5,000 employees
It is one of the greatest tools for continuous deployment, yet its popularity remains limited.

Setup Cost

Digital.ai Release targets large enterprises, offering high ROI through automation but can be expensive depending on user needs.
Enterprise buyers find Nolio Release Automation expensive due to setup costs and licensing complexities, but appreciate CA's customized pricing support.
Digital.ai Release is affordable in terms of pricing and setup cost.
Cloud Platform at Futurescape
The pricing, setup cost, and licensing for Digital.ai Release are a little expensive when I look at it, especially the enterprise-level licenses.
Test Manager at a manufacturing company with 501-1,000 employees
 

Valuable Features

Digital.ai Release streamlines the release process with automation, integration, and analytics, enhancing efficiency and predictability while reducing manual tasks.
Nolio Release Automation offers user-friendly, no-code deployment with flexible OS support, reducing errors and operational costs.
We don't need to make a specific deployment artifact for dev, test, or production; it is all the same artifact using environment variables, ensuring what we take to production is what was tested.
Software Configuration Specialist at a insurance company with 10,001+ employees
Digital.ai Release standardizes the release process across teams.
Cloud Platform at Futurescape
Involving both infrastructure and application teams in the same pipeline has genuinely helped my process, as we have one specific person starting the pipeline, another approving it, and another coordinating as DevOps or monitoring all processes from the infrastructure side, providing excellent assistance because we have different and clearly separated responsibilities.

Application Architect at a insurance company with 1,001-5,000 employees
Standardized releases have reduced errors and now streamline our cloud resource management
To improve Digital.ai Release, I think the user interface could be improved. For example, I have a plan phase before my build phase, and sometimes the toggle button is hidden. I have to toggle it before the step can be executed, or it will be skipped. Many people who did not use Digital.ai Release before do not even know there is a toggle button, and the first time when they run into that phase, they will definitely skip that step. Regarding needed improvements, I did not do extensive reading on documentation or training material directly from Digital.ai Release. My knowledge comes from the team who has been using it. However, I would appreciate standardized training material that would give me hands-on experience.

Real-time monitoring and seamless integration enhance deployment efficiency
The main disadvantage I see is the limited awareness of Nolio Release Automation in other organizations. It is a very nice tool, but its market presence is limited. I heard from the organization that the licensing cost was somewhat expensive. Perhaps focusing on marketing efforts would be beneficial. It is a really nice tool, and I am unsure why many organizations are not using Nolio Release Automation. It is one of the greatest tools for continuous deployment, yet its popularity remains limited. Some organizations are not aware of its existence. This might be an area worth researching and potentially developing new marketing strategies.
