Compare Kobee vs. MotioCI

When it’s essential to maintain complete oversight and control, as well as utilize an automated CI/CD toolchain that seamlessly integrates into your enterprise setup, each project can operate within various life cycles. These life cycles offer a tailored workflow that facilitates the automation of tasks needed to navigate the development and release phases effectively. The framework accommodates both Release and Package-based builds, whether for Distributed systems or Mainframe environments. Continuous integration (CI) can be implemented alongside options for scheduled or on-demand builds. Once a release is constructed, it is preserved as an archive for future reference. The system supports different build types, including Full Build, Partial Build, Production-based Partial Build, or tag-based Partial Build. Following the build process, the automated deployment mechanism transfers the release or package to the suitable Test or Production environment. Each solution utilizes a specific set of pre-defined yet customizable actions—referred to as "Solution Phases"—to streamline and automate this deployment process, ensuring efficiency and consistency throughout the project lifecycle. This approach not only enhances productivity but also reduces the risk of errors during deployment.

MotioCI equips Cognos authors and administrators with enhanced features such as expedited upgrades, efficient change management and version control, quicker deployments, automated testing, and streamlined cleanup processes. Each new version of Cognos Analytics enhances its capabilities further, yet without MotioCI, the upgrade process can take weeks of meticulous preparation and testing. We simplify the Cognos upgrade experience, allowing you to reap the rewards without the accompanying stress and wasted time. Your team will be able to swiftly and effortlessly identify and safely remove broken, unnecessary, or duplicate elements, assess design inconsistencies and best practices, and evaluate potential performance challenges. The processes of testing and validation are integral to any analytics implementation; however, when executed manually, they can be time-consuming and often yield less than satisfactory results. By automating these processes, we eliminate costly and disruptive manual cycles that are prone to errors, allowing your team to redirect their efforts towards developing innovative analytics solutions. This shift not only enhances productivity but also improves the overall quality of your analytics outcomes.
