    Springloops is the best tool for deployment to any environment. Especially, the auto-deployment feature on development servers is essential for the early stages of development. The built-in source control mechanisms are a perfect combination of ease of use and a rich feature set that allows the development team to have an easier and more complete view of each part of the project. A section that is lacking is time tracking - but then this is not the main usage of the service.

    Apart from being a great versioning control system Springloops offers the options to automatically deploy code to multiple systems. This feature alone is a determining factor to renew Springloops over and over again. Another important factor is that it offers a full set of tools that help the team during the development cycle. No switching between time-tracking to project management. This is a real time-saver.

    Usability

    Easy to use, automatic deployments, comments on projects are only a few factors. Multiple servers per project is another must-have feature. User permissions and rights offer granular control on access to the system

    I rarely use it but when I need it the team is there. During the initial steps of Springloops, I had close contact with one of the founders. He provided support to me over Skype! He didn't have to but he did. We had a couple of long talks about some issues I was facing. He has there regardless of time. It was a great experience

    Springloops has a built-in feature that is lacking from Bitbucket (at least on the out-of-the-box functionality). Deployment of projects to various servers/development stages. The process is so easy and painless that even remote servers can act as local environments. This is a feature that differentiates Springloops from other solutions that require other tools to perform the same task.

    Return on Investment
    Buddy (BDY, Sp. z o. o. Sp. k)
    • A total time saver - just commit changes and Springloops can handle the deployments
    • Total control of source code and commits - you never have to think about those things again

    ScreenShots

    Planview Release Screenshots

    Screenshot of Project Release - A project release is tracking the state of an individual release, which is the norm for the more agile releases. The project releases have two types: Project - For normal project work and Independent (can be renamed) - often used for emergency or non-project tracked work. For example, it is quite common to rename the independent release to Emergency, so these release types can be easily distinguished.Screenshot of Release Workflow - Each release has a Status allowing you to track the current progress of the release, and a release type (e.g. Minor, Major, Emergency). You are also able to define a workflow through the States for each release type.Screenshot of Enterprise Release - The “Enterprise Release” feature groups two or more Project Releases together. The project releases may have different timescales for their development, but must come together when entering production, and must be tested together before being released.Screenshot of Release Views - You can see the Releases in a Calendar view, or in a schedule view to see more of a lifecycle breakdown.Screenshot of Release Dependencies - Your ALM tool will handle dependencies between tasks (User Stories) but often do not allow the easy coordination of Releases between different or even the same product teams. Release allows you to specify the order in which releases should be implemented, allowing teams to see what the potential impacts of delaying their releases are.
