Automatic installation for complex deployments and environments, with good workflow support

I like that really complex deployments are possible with it. It's very good. You have everything you need. You can design your workflows for your needs. You can do so much more, it's not just an automatic installation tool. It's a real deployment tool. I can do the complete deployment with everything that is possible.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"In first pilot run, we achieved five times faster deployment without human work."

"It is a very stable solution and we can rely on pressing a button to perform a full-stack automatic installation that reliably finishes in eight hours instead of a problematic three-week manual installation."

"It can support very complex environments and dependencies."

"The agents are one of the solution's most valuable features, and I like agents for file transfers so you can transfer the files from agent to agent on the different platforms."

"It gives us good feedback on visualizations and on how our processes have progressed."

"I would say our headwind, or our time to market, is reduced considerably, we get more consistent results out of it, because you write one time and once it's automated you expect it to behave the same way every time, and it cut down a lot of re-work for us."

"The main benefit is you can deploy everything with it."

More Automic Continuous Delivery Automation [EOL] pros

"Repeatable, reliable deployments from one environment to the next."

"It is very easy to make a software release. It used to take us at least a couple of hours to make a release, now we went to production with a new one last night. This new release took me five minutes."

"For DevOps, this tool is one of the best with all its integration capabilities for repositories and various systems."

"Coming from where we were and getting to where we are was just never could have been done without uDeploy and it's just incredibly powerful for us."

"The most valuable feature is the snapshot functionality, which allows us to access previous versions of the artifacts."

"It has automated the deployment of tasks to different environments which we were previously only able to do manually."

"It used to take us at least a couple of hours to make a release, now we went to production with a new one last night, and this new release took me five minutes."

"The most valuable feature is the snapshot functionality, which allows us to access previous versions of the artifacts."

Cons

"key thing is support for cloud-based deployment. That is lacking."

"It would be very beneficial for us to see integrations into cloud environments, especially into the Google Cloud environment because we are heading towards cloud."

"Not a perfect ten because the user interface is brand new and it needs improvement."

"One of the biggest features I've been asked by my team to put in there is opening more scripting languages to be part of the platform. There is a little bit of a learning curve in learning how to code some of the workflows in Automic at this time. If widely used languages like Perl and Python were integrated, on top of what's already there, the proprietary language, it would make it easier to on-board new resources."

"If you have a technical problem and need development of the tool, the support team is terrible, because they cannot help with the technical details."

"At the moment, the version that we are using (version 12.0), the environment is complex with multiple installations. Therefore, the monitoring is not scalable, but this should be improved in 12.1 and 12.2."

"If you have a technical problem and need development of the tool, the support team is terrible, because they cannot help with the technical details."

"Stability-wise I think it still needs to be improved; performance-wise. It crashes from time to time."

More Automic Continuous Delivery Automation [EOL] cons

"We're running version 4.8.4, which isn't the latest version. This version lacks reporting, which may be improved in the latest version."

"WebSphere deployments, for some reason, don’t work out-of-the-box."

"The scalability of this application needs improvement. Changes and variations in the application become bottlenecks as they need to be more seamless and comfortable."

"Its reliability has been a little suspect, and one of our frustrations has been that it's taken them some time to focus on fixing that problem."

"Sometimes the tool gets hung while running a plan."

"Full blown support for repositories such a SonaType Nexus would be better than having to deploy an agent to watch particular filesystem paths."

"I think that the IBM support team needs to be more proactive in their responses to PMR tickets raised by customers."

"Lack of technical expertise available in the market that forces us to rely solely on IBM Professional Services."

More UrbanCode Deploy cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"If you have a fixed contract, it has limits to spreading out. If you have a flexible enterprise license contract, then you have a lot of scalability for this tool."

"We increased our quality and reduced our time costs."

"I can save time and money more quickly."

"Customers often complain about the price."

"The licensing fees for this solution are based on the number of servers that are being deployed and the number of agents that you have."

"Considering COVID-19, the price is too high."

"The cost of the solution is high but it offers great ROI."
