Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"This product is an innovative market leader in the field of application deployment."
"For a "from scratch" project, the build pipeline is very easy to create: Jenkins for the continuous integration platform and deployIt for pushing the artefact onto our servers."
"The main quality is still to have a One Click process, then you save precious time."
"The product has a flexibility that allows it to work with various deployments and various technologies."
"The solution creates a manifest file that caps the bridge between the developer and the system admin."
"The product sounds good thanks to its UI, as it is really easy to perform a deployment when things work."
"Customer support is excellent, quick response from product specialists."
"It has been a key enabler for us to implement Continuous Delivery and DevOps across the organisation, increasing release frequency by a factor of approximately 10 and reducing re-deployments by a factor of 50."
"ROI is difficult to explain but it's provided huge savings."
"Our biggest ROI is increased productivity which we experienced within the first year."
"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."
"The stability is good. I haven't experienced any issues."
"By standardizing the automated deployment application process, reducing the amount of errors due to manual steps and by providing visibility into the release cycles of various teams/applications, we've improved our global efficiency by at least 25% and still counting, since we've only used the product for a short period of time."
"The most valuable feature is the snapshot functionality, which allows us to access previous versions of the artifacts."
"This saves time, and makes the process much more reliable, reversible, repeatable, and traceable."
"Customer Service: Perfect. IBM has one of the best customer services."
 

Cons

"The basic design is broken, as it computes diffs to perform updates."
"Customer service was not very good."
"Our customers have not been happy with technical support. They need to do much better to help clients solve issues."
"The GUI deserves some improvements."
"While it is a flexible product and provides a means of integrating with virtually anything, the company should make a better effort to keep up with new platform integrations."
"The tool needs to improve on cloud-native GitOps."
"Documentation / initial setup / learning curve."
"I’d like better reporting possibilities."
"Our organization has also tried other CI/CD tools. There are areas where this tool has been lacking, which is why alternatives are being looked into."
"The interface allows access in a number of ways but that can be confusing."
"I think that the IBM support team needs to be more proactive in their responses to PMR tickets raised by customers."
"Sometimes the deployment process reports are faulty."
"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."
"The technical support of the solution could definitely be improved as PMRs take a long to resolve."
"WebSphere deployments, for some reason, don’t work out-of-the-box."
"I would like to see more reporting for container architecture."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product’s pricing is acceptable. We get volume discounts."
"Pricing costs are based on annual subscriptions."
"The cost of the solution is high but it offers great ROI."
"Considering COVID-19, the price is too high."
"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."
