Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We find it to be a very good fit for what we need to accomplish and it's very easy to manage and to maintain it from an enterprise skill perspective, as well."
"Customer support is excellent, quick response from product specialists."
"The solution creates a manifest file that caps the bridge between the developer and the system admin."
"Quicker and more solid installations."
"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."
"The product sounds good thanks to its UI, as it is really easy to perform a deployment when things work."
"Jenkins deployment was hard to maintain different environments, different variables, machines etc., now we have it all under one roof."
"The solution's most valuable aspect is that it is vendor-agnostic and it has a file called Manifest, which makes it possible for developers, ops people, and system admins to cooperate."
"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."
"Our biggest ROI is increased productivity which we experienced within the first year."
"ROI is difficult to explain but it's provided huge savings."
"Customer Service: Perfect. IBM has one of the best customer services."
"This product is excellent for deploying components and running processes related to deployments."
"The solution handles complex deployments very efficiently."
"Stable solution that's good for automating the CI/CD pipeline: from development to production."
"UrbanCode Deploy has really transformed the way we do code deployment, connecting development and operations more closely."
 

Cons

"Some deployables have to be built, it is not quite difficult but not every product is supported by one standard."
"Customer Service: 3/10. Technical Support: 3/10."
"Our customers have not been happy with technical support. They need to do much better to help clients solve issues."
"Though the product is very good, I think the product can still be improved in a couple of ways."
"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 basic design is broken, as it computes diffs to perform updates."
"GUI: uses Adobe Flash which is a bit of a pain (Soon to be replaced by a new GUI with HTML5 and AngularJS)."
"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."
"The resource tree is pretty bulky and slow; making a change to the resource tree manually is pretty difficult when size increases."
"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."
"Technical support is bad."
"Sometimes the tool gets hung while running a plan."
"WebSphere deployments, for some reason, don’t work out-of-the-box."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product’s pricing is acceptable. We get volume discounts."
"Pricing costs are based on annual subscriptions."
"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."
