Likelihood to Recommend Digital.ai (formerly XebiaLabs, CollabNet VersionOne, and Arxan)
Scenarios where it works well: 1) Retros can be very well facilitated & notes/action items can be captured against the sprint. 2) Product Owner can effectively track the story progress with all the test-cases, design etc. 3) Being good scaling support, it provides good visibility across multiple teams, programs and agile portfolios, providing a centralized environment where all our stakeholders can easily work together regardless of location. 4) It provides easy tracking all of your epics, stories, themes, defects, tasks, tests and issues 5) I like its intuitive UI as for moving stories around, burning hours. 6) It allows top leadership to visualize and report their strategic plans, giving all stakeholders the relevant data that they need to stay dedicated to the project priorities. 7) It can be easily integrated with slack so for few teams we used slack for collaboration Scenarios where it did not work well: 1) Test Management need improvement in terms of tracking tests, team had hard time tracking regression test cases. 2) Version one comes with lot of features like Rally but here we don’t get customizations which is there in Jira where from workflow to issue everything can be customized based on your team/program/portfolio requirements. 3) Lot of navigation to access basic stuff. Example I want to go to bug attachment , there are lt of clicks & navigation need to do which should be pretty straightforward I feel.
Read full review Spinnaker suits well for applications which are stateless and can adapt to an immutable architecture of deployment. But for applications which are stateful and cannot afford to spin up new servers for every deployment doesn't go well with Spinnaker. It can handle only deployments which are VM based and cannot support deployments to serverless architecture like AWS Lambda etc.

Automated saving of changes, no records can be lost because all items are saved in real-time. The watch function, optional but beneficial when managing multiple teams or projects. Read full review Fast deployments. Can be integrated with a good variety of other products. Also provides some insights from your environment. Read full review Cons Digital.ai (formerly XebiaLabs, CollabNet VersionOne, and Arxan)
Although Digital.ai Agility supports customizations, they can be somewhat cumbersome to set up and maintain The Analytics engine's user experience for digging into the data does not have the same feel as the rest of the system and, as a result, can be hard to work with Read full review It does NOT support CFN based deployments Windows based systems finds it difficult to onboard to Spinnaker. Pipeline level access authorisation is not there. Support for EBS volume encryption is probably missing. Attach/detach EBS volumes during deployments is difficult. No support to deploy the artifacts without re-creating the servers. Only pure immutable deployment are allowed. Open-source - so good and bad! Spinnaker on its own has 10 underlying micro services. Managing Spinnaker needs a focussed platform approach. User authentication is easy but authorisation management is not straight forward. Debajit Kataki Sr. Devops Mgr.

VersionOne provides outstanding training. They have Product Owner training that I recommend every Product Owner attend. They have scrum master training and other agile training that was well worth the money paid because it made the teams more productive. And the support for the tool is incredible. These people live and breathe Agile and are evangelists and enthusiasts.

JIRA appears to be more extensible with the ability for Scrum, Kanban, bug/incident tracking, and the ability to customize dashboards. However, VersionOne's performance over the same teams is extremely fast in comparison and therefore allows users to be more productive over the same amount of time.

It has made it easier to implement Agile processes. Since our team is fairly new to Agile, this has been extremely helpful. Our organization is quickly growing, and V1 has made it easier for new hires to look at everything that our team has in the works.
