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

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

"The capability to provide visibility to the stakeholders, to management, is the biggest piece that showcases what the solution is about."

"You can design your workflows for your needs."

"Deployment workflow (WF) can be designed this way, so that it is not necessary to provide all applications (systems) artifacts of which an application consists."

"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."

"We have saved on our time costs and have seen more quality."

More Automic Continuous Delivery Automation [EOL] pros

"Centralization of our deployment process Unification of our nonprod and production deployment process"

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

"Automated deployment forces the organization to standardize runtimes, development output and handling of platform provisioning."

"With the usage of UrbanCode Release, we are able to save on efforts required to create a detailed, accurate implementation plan, and as it has direct connectivity with UrbanCode Deploy, we can schedule automatic deployments and hence save on time and cost of resources, so the overall release efficiency has improved multifold."

"It reduced more than 70% of our manual effort when it automated deployment of both UNIX and Windows-based applications using UrbanCode Deploy."

"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."

"Our biggest ROI is increased productivity which we experienced within the first year."

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

Cons

"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."

"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."

"There is an issue with the stability in the tool. The process of agent will stop, then the monitoring agent can't be recognized because the process is running, but you can talk with the system."

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

"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."

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

More Automic Continuous Delivery Automation [EOL] cons

"I certainly would like to have a better way to pass information between deployment steps using UrbanCode Deploy because that's really difficult to do."

"I would like to see more reporting for container architecture."

"The interface allows access in a number of ways but that can be confusing."

"Sometimes the deployment process reports are faulty."

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

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

"The technical support of the solution could definitely be improved as PMRs take long to resolve."

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

More UrbanCode Deploy cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."

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

"I can save time and money more quickly."

"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."
