Operations and Infrastructure management teams have used Evolven Comparison™ most often in the following ways:
- Prevention of production outages and cutting of release deployment & stabilization time - by comparing recently deployed production environments with pre-production environments, IT Operations teams verify the accurate transition of key release components and configuration elements
- Cutting of incident investigation time and effort - when incidents occur, IT Operations teams compare the problematic environment with a working environment or with a previous, historical snapshot of the environment under investigation (when it was working well) to identify configuration differences that are causing the issue
- Mitigating risk of changes - prior to releasing a new change, IT teams are comparing the environment that includes the change with its historical snapshot in order to fully understand the granular changes and assess the potential impact of those that are critical
