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

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

"The metrics gathered after deployment, for example, the rate of success versus the rate of failure."

"The product provides efficiency, in terms time, cost, and resources."

"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."

"They have gained efficiency that they cannot achieve in any other way."

"It provides a wonderful user interface which is easy to use."

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

"At the end of the day, at the end of the year, CA offered the best package overall, and that wasn't just from a product standpoint but also a support standpoint."

More Automic Continuous Delivery Automation [EOL] pros

"It has provided a platform for traceability across the whole release cycle for more than 700 diverse applications."

"Urbancode Deploy allowed our group to go from managing deployment of two enterprise applications to fifteen, over the course of 18 months, with no increase in staffing or increase in system downtime."

"Our organization has already improved by quite a bit by taking out so much manual intervention from multiple people doing the deployments."

"There are several most valuable features for us: Automation of deployment processes for all our projects, it's user-friendly enough for our development team to access and use on a daily basis, and the lead approval process is one of the unique features in it that can't be found in any other automation tool."

"UrbanCode Deploy has really transformed the way we do code deployment, connecting development and operations more closely."

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

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

"The most valuable functionality is the ability to define the deployment process, schedule the deployment and automatically execute the deployments to different environments."

Cons

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

"There are some bugs. For example, during the design of a workflow, important information is lost, it vanishes."

"We hope that we can integrate the new CD Directive into our portfolio, so we can bring the deployment and release management closer together."

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

"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."

"We're a WebSphere shop so I would like to see more support for WebSphere, only because it's the platform that they seem to want to use the most."

"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."

"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."

More Automic Continuous Delivery Automation [EOL] cons

"I would like to have the agent up and running at all times, as opposed to only while it is in the DevOps pipeline."

"We have encountered scalability issues. We did not scale particularly well."

"The reporting functionality is limited and it is difficult to retrieve information from the database due to the table structure."

"They need to reduce the footprint and improve the performance of UD agent. If the agent runs for too long it can cause a memory issue on the production server."

"More out of the box plugins are required though good number are avaialble at the moment."

"There have been a lot of broken stoppages in uDeploy 6.1.2, particularly in the upgrade."

"This solution could be made more flexible with respect to deploying databases."

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

More UrbanCode Deploy cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I can save time and money more quickly."

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

"Customers often complain about the price."

"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."

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

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

"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."
