Digital.ai Release, formerly XebiaLabs XL Release, is a release management tool designed for enterprises that enables users to control and track releases, standardize processes, and bake compliance and security into software release pipelines. As a release orchestration tool, Digital.ai Release works specifically for continuous delivery, and enables teams across an organization to model and monitor releases, automate tasks within IT infrastructure, in order to cut release times and improve release processes.

Harness, from the company of the same name in San Francisco, is a Continuous Delivery-as-a-Service platform designed to provide a simple, safe and secure way for engineering and DevOps teams to release applications into production. 

Founded in 2016, Harness uses machine learning to detect the quality of deployments and automatically roll back failed ones, saving time and reducing the need for custom scripting and manual oversight.

Release Management Tools

XL Release or digital.ai is being used in or organization for release management and deployment purpose. All DevOps engineer gets access based on the project they are working upon and configures their releases as per need for deployments and manage via the release management process. The tool has a great gating/approval process with integration to many tools like Ansible, Jenkins, Jira, etc.

Our company have premium support but still issues are faced to get proper response from support staff.
No escalation matrix clearly defined. Have to work with some particular member of support team assigned to us for escalations or upgrades. But, I would say not all are knowledgeable of their product. One simple example is we needed a universal URL for product and no support team member had the idea. From documentation, we figured what can be done to resolve the issue in their product config files.

I wish I could add something here. I did not like the support. Support for many other organizations is good like Liquidbase, RedHat, Jenkins, etc.

XL is being used by multiple groups in my consulting software development organizations where a release control framework is needed. The main purpose is to allow the fine control of timing between both manual and automatic release activities. The tool acts as a workflow manager for the marketing, documentation, project management, and deployment scripts that combine to release a new major version. We use it sometimes for minor releases but only if there is cross-team coordination.

Cross-team release workflow control using email, texts, scripts allow our release management to be truly a 360 process.
XL Release allowing our Jenkins toolchain to control the beginning of release trains which is very powerful.
XL release allows us to expose the business process flow for anyone to read direct at the source which runs the process instead of a separate vision.

XL release is really only missing a consolidated calendar view where you can see the planned activity for the next month, it only knows about what is in progress.

XL release has improved our consistency of release process, removing multiple days worth of manual status checking and coordination.
XL release has allowed us to increase the number of beta releases we can support due to simplifying our release actions.
