Nolio Release Automation Reviews

The UI makes it easier for non-engineers to understand. It's reliable and works well once you figure out its quirks.

We have used the product to automate software deployments and simple tasks for technical support. We have reduced our failure rate dramatically due to automation. However, that's more due to the fact that we've automated than any particular virtue of the product.

The UI is very quirky, with numerous small frustrating bugs. While it is possible to script, the REST API is nearly impossible to use and the old CLI support has many undocumented features.

I've used it for three years.

The deployment process is painful. We avoid it as much as possible.

We've had a few outages due to bugs. We were able to work around the bugs, but it was a frustrating process.

Yes. The licensing model before the company was purchased was scalability-friendly. Now it is not.

Customer Service:

About a 3/10. It took weeks to get a simple quote for more licenses (we joked that CA doesn't want our money) and their support portal is very difficult to use.

Technical Support:

About a 5/10. I'm not sure CA has more than one or two people who even know what the product is, much less the details of how it works.

We had no previous solution.

We bought the product before CA purchased it.

We received a lot of support from the pre-CA company. They were excellent.

It's high in that we have moved a lot closer to continuous delivery. It's reliable. However, the licensing model will eventually force us to find another solution.

I don't know the original setup cost. They charge several thousand per agent/node.

In our company, deployments for complex Java applications can take up to two hours each. We needed to significantly reduce this time in order to keep up with business demands and maintain agility in the development group: We were able to achieve this using Nolio. With Nolio we can also monitor precise details, figures and measurements of each deployment, including specifics on the changes made, dates and times of releases and success rates. So w've dramatically reduced our release times by using Nolio's automated solutions. We are confident that by running Nolio across all our environments, we will reduce times for complicated deployments from two hours to twenty minutes. This will enable us to maintain our competitive edge and reduce operational costs without compromising security.

A task for using a dynamic language like Groovy could be very useful in order to create easily simple tasks. But I am sure it will come...

- Very User Friendly GUI. - Flexible tool which allow you to build process and flows in simple way without knowledge in programing. - Improve my team activity in 75%.

- Can Nolio make a coffee..........
