Looking back on 6 years of experience

Hello,

First of all, a huge thank you for this deployment solution which has transformed my daily work for the past six years. In 2015, I set up my first WAPT server hoping to convince my superiors of its merits.
From an experimental start, we quickly moved to production.

We've upgraded it from version 1.3 to 1.7 Enterprise today, and I've been delighted to see the numerous improvements made to WAPT with each new version.

We currently manage around 3,700 workstations, and the result is almost perfect. It does, however, require some personal investment in the coding (Python language) for those who aren't very familiar with programming, but it's well worth the effort, even though Tranquil-IT provides many packages in the store. The Python language allows for extensive customization of the installation packages.

I am now leaving my role as a WAPT packager due to a job transfer, but I am urging my superiors to stay the course (not to change products) and to move on to version 2.0.

I've lost count of the number of mass deployments we've performed with WAPT. Sometimes it was a close call, as the code we executed wasn't always based on the experience of each workstation. But the WAPT solution itself never faltered; only the Python code wasn't always up to scratch at the time (and sometimes needed fixing). If there were any malfunctions, they stemmed from human error, not the system.

If there's one thing to improve, I think it would be the querying interface, to make it more graphical and more accessible to beginners. For those familiar with SQL queries, the existing functionality is perfectly adequate.

So, thank you for this excellent solution and for the pleasant exchanges and collaborations I've had with the Tranquil-IT team (I'm thinking of Denis, Vincent, Simon, Alexandre...).
