Software Engineer at a outsourcing company with 201-500 employees
Improved daily delivery has streamlined workflows and saved time for developers and operations
Akuity Platform has most of the features, but I think they should include some more features, such as the feature where we specify the URLs of the Argo CD workflow, which I liked, but it would be good if they include more of those features on the platform. Integration with Akuity Platform is quite good as they have integrations with almost all the related CI/CD products, but I think in terms of performance, they can improve upon that because sometimes it does get laggy, maybe due to high pressure, and anything can be the reason for that, but they can improve on the performance part.

DevOps Delivery Engineer at Barclays Capital
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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Akuity Platform has positively impacted our organization by helping us reduce the overall onboarding time from days to hours for thousands of applications, achieving secure, consistent GitOps at scale."
"Akuity Platform has impacted my organization positively through ease of onboarding and ease of use; we do not have to rely on difficult trainings for new joiners."
"In my opinion, the best features of Akuity Platform include the GitOps-first model that makes deployments predictable and auditable, a good UI for visualizing the application state versus the desired state, easy rollback and sync control during deployment, good compatibility with Kubernetes native tooling and manifests, and a strong open-source ecosystem with great documentation."
"Overall, Akuity Platform has impacted our organization positively as the DevOps team is quite happy because first, they do not have to manage their own Argo CD, and second, it is quite user-friendly for them as well as for the developers, saving time for us."
"Improve my team activity in 75%."
"The valuable features are: Ability to keep the map of different environments in a single tool, ability to design and manage DevOps activity from a graphical point of view, and ability to manage large installations with more than 5,000 servers due to its 100% scalable architecture."
"It has reduced deployment times from nearly a couple of hours to around a couple of minutes, especially on production environments."
"The frictionless end-to-end, automated deployments remove manual handovers between different parties, making it fault-tolerant without human errors, technology-agnostic, and consolidated on one tool instead of multiple solutions with manual implementations."
"The built-in action packs for different systems is the most valuable feature."
"Deployment workflows has not only increased the confidence in the release process, but also opens up a whole new world to automate the deployment for not just code, but DB, network appliances, application servers, and AWS."
"The technical support is excellent."
"It's a stable product."
 

Cons

"From a perspective of support feedback, it is a bit slow, so I would like them to fix that and make it more seamless."
"Integration with Akuity Platform is quite good as they have integrations with almost all the related CI/CD products, but I think in terms of performance, they can improve upon that because sometimes it does get laggy, maybe due to high pressure, and anything can be the reason for that, but they can improve on the performance part."
"In terms of improvement for Akuity Platform, I would say that the RBAC and multi-application setup takes time to configure correctly."
"I would suggest that, rather than just concentrating on release automation and management, this tool could provide for more automation in different areas, such as database automation (we already have this but still can be improved further)."
"The learning curve for this tool is somewhat steep."
"It is possible to have a lot of execution servers, but you can’t put them in a balanced pool of servers."
"We couldn’t get the support, and we weren’t able to achieve our goals, and there were no other plug-ins available for JIRA or Jenkins."
"We use two versions – the older version (4.4) is very unstable, while the newer one (5.5) is much better."
"A concern with CA Release Automation is that Automic was acquired by CA recently. We're a bit concerned that CA strategy is going with Automic, that CA Release Automation is dead. They are not investing in it too much... They do say, that in the next two or three years we don't need to worry. They will still provide support for CA Release Automation. But we're not sure how CA Release Automation will evolve."
"We did have stability issues. The tool slows down often."
"This product lacks proper documentation with illustrated examples."
