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.

Data-driven experiments have transformed feature rollouts and now validate business impact
I feel that overall my experience with Split has been positive regarding necessary improvements, particularly around user experience and enhancements to the user interface, especially for larger teams. As experimentation programs grow, users must navigate many feature flags and different environments, so making discovery, organization, and lifecycle management more intuitive would be beneficial. While Split integrates well with many tools, additional connectivity with analytics and BI reporting platforms could provide a more seamless experience for organizations. There are areas where Split can be improved, particularly around advanced reporting and visualization capabilities. While the platform manages experiments and feature rollouts effectively, having more robust, out-of-the-box reporting options would allow business stakeholders to interpret results without relying on external tools. Additionally, as organizations grow, managing and overseeing feature flags becomes more challenging, so enhancing governance capabilities would be beneficial. In terms of user experience and integrations, I think the platform could enhance those areas as well. Users often need to navigate through a large number of feature flags as experimentation programs scale, so improvements to the user interface that simplify discovery, organization, and lifecycle management would be valuable, especially for larger teams. While Split integrates effectively with many tools, increasing connectivity with analytics and BI reporting could help organizations enhance their operations.

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 of Digital.ai Release is its ability to communicate with various deployment systems, such as XLD and batch deployments, as well as integrate with tools, such as Flyway and Bamboo. We use Bamboo as our build orchestrator, and Digital.ai Release also integrates with Jira, another Atlassian solution. These capabilities make it a powerful tool for managing workflow, test automation, and other processes."
"The time is also reduced because the manual work has tremendously decreased. We just have to click one button, and it will create everything for us."
"Overall, it's been a good experience."
"Digital.ai Release offers the best features such as good integration between multiple tools and flexible options for usage; while I have not configured the template myself, I use existing templates and find that anything can be accomplished using the workflows and integrations."
"The solution can apply one template across multiple applications."
"Digital.ai Release has made my work easier and simpler by automating many actions, so I do not have to verify too many points; the tool does it automatically."
"Since we started using the manual testing module from Digital.ai, I have seen a positive impact on my organization as our test management has improved significantly."
"Overall, I would give Digital.ai Release a rating of nine out of ten; there's always room for improvement, but it's really good."
"Split is a great way to handle the config based on checks and in a dynamic way if you want to control your software without doing any deployment."
"Split facilitated a culture of data-driven decision-making, allowing us to validate our ideas and providing measurable outcomes for decisions."
"Split has increased some of our CVR; for example, in a recent pop-up model experiment, our conversion was around 15% and once we started the experiment, the on-variant won by increasing the CVR up to 35%, making it a really good tool for determining which particular feature would deliver the expected CVR."
 

Cons

"One improvement for Digital.ai Release could be to simplify the user interface for beginners."
"To improve Digital.ai Release, I think the user interface could be improved."
"Overall, the price is just too high; especially considering we're in the middle of a pandemic."
"Digital.ai Release could be improved, particularly because the automated test capabilities are not that strong compared to some major tools like UIPath, Tosca, or SmartBear TestComplete."
"The solution is a little bit expensive."
"I feel that it could be more user-friendly, as the UI feels a bit old and not very appealing."
"Digital.ai Release can be improved by reducing the number of tasks that need to be completed before starting a release, as there are too many tasks to get done."
"Digital.ai Release could improve by having a better plugin that works with Guardian that we use for mainframe migrations. If there could be an interface or plugin for Guardian that would be beneficial."
"There are areas where Split can be improved, particularly around advanced reporting and visualization capabilities."
"The UI of split.io can be improved."
"Additionally, we tend to move towards other issues related to Split due to flickering issues, which we observed because of latency."
