The basic setup is straightforward. However, because we have a very integrated system of work reception integrating with Bamboo, integrated also with BDD Cucumber tests and sync up into Xray for dashboards, that customization is quite involved and quite integrated. The basic setup is easy, but it can become more complex. Our application deployment used to take approximately an hour. With Digital.ai Release it is cut down to 10 minutes. The steps we took for the implementation started with ExcelR, we are able to easily configure the specific versions of applications that we want to deploy. ExcelR retrieves these versions from our Nexus Repository and allows us to simply specify which version to deploy to a particular environment. When we click the deployment button, ExcelR handles the rest of the process, including creating Jiras for tracking and auditing, sending notifications to relevant teams and channels about the deployment, and closing the Jira when the deployment is complete. This automation saves us a lot of time and effort. I rate the initial setup of Digital.ai Release an eight out of ten.

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. Overall, the price is just too high; especially considering we're in the middle of a pandemic. There's definitely some overkill in these products. To me, they seem to be just a little over-complicated — I think they could skinny it down. It's just based on how many users so I don't know if the different roles are priced differently. The DevOps people might be in it a lot more than a lead. I don't know if pricing by role can be different. If I've got a manager that just wants to go in and audit it, does that person have to have a full license, or is it just a read-only and it's a nickel or something?

Key learnings from peers

Valuable Features

"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 solution can apply one template across multiple applications."
"The orchestration, building the release, and then just executing it and managing that pipeline — the orchestration capabilities are great for that."

Room for Improvement

"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."
"The solution is a little bit expensive."
"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."
