Featured Reviews

Merit Ronald - PeerSpot reviewer
Senior Software Engineer at Absa Bank Uganda
Automated release workflows have reduced manual coordination and improve deployment consistency
A few challenges have been encountered, and from my experience, Digital.ai Release should improve the user interface. It has a lot of functionality, but some areas can be a little too complicated compared to others, especially when setting up more advanced release flows. A cleaner and more intuitive interface would make it easier to get started and begin using it. I would also like to see stronger reporting and analytics to help track releases, progress, and have ready-to-use reports around deployment success rates. Another area is integration, as Digital.ai Release connects with many DevOps tools, but some integrations can require configurations and maintenance, making the work hectic. If those connections could be made more straightforward, it would save time.

YAML-based configuration and simple deployment but user interface needs modernizing
Travis CI is an okay tool, and I am forced to use it as part of my job. I don't maintain it; it is running somewhere else, and I don't have control over it. The interface is very basic and not user-friendly; it feels like it was stuck in 2010. It is very basic and designed for lightweight CI work, and it cannot handle heavy CI. You cannot do branched flows, and you will have to write shell scripts to send calls here and there. The pipelines are not as detailed as some other CI/CD tools. If Travis is down, you don't have any control over it and need to reach out to their customer support.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"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."
"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."
"The solution can apply one template across multiple applications."
"Since using Digital.ai Release, one of the benefits is standardizing the way I release to my Azure environment, which in the long term will help me reduce costs and improve efficiency."
"Overall, it's been a good experience."
"The impact of adopting Digital.ai Release has been quite measurable, with the average time spent coordinating releases reduced by about seventy percent, deployment time reduced by roughly thirty percent, and deployment-related errors reduced by about twenty-five percent because the same automated steps are performed consistently."
"The orchestration, building the release, and then just executing it and managing that pipeline — the orchestration capabilities are great for that."
"The only thing I like about Travis CI is that you have a YAML file to define a Travis flow."
 

Cons

"Currently, we put artifact details manually. What we could improve, in our case, is the deployment instruction base. Developers input all the information, including which artifact and where it needs to be deployed. What Digital.ai could do is automatically go to the deployment instruction page, take those artifact details, and implement them."
"One improvement for Digital.ai Release could be to simplify the user interface for beginners."
"I feel that it could be more user-friendly, as the UI feels a bit old and not very appealing."
"The solution is a little bit expensive."
"I would like to improve Digital.ai Release by exploring its cloud capabilities as we are currently in the middle of migrating to the cloud, but I actually have no idea what Digital.ai's cloud capabilities are."
"Sometimes it can be tedious when fulfilling multiple different packages with their key and value pairs."
"A few challenges have been encountered, and from my experience, Digital.ai Release should improve the user interface."
"The backfill could be improved, we could automate that. Right now it's subjective — it's up to the lead developer's memory to remember to backfill."
"The interface is very basic and not user-friendly; it feels like it was stuck in 2010."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution's license includes all features."
"Overall, the price is just too high; especially considering we're in the middle of a pandemic."
