Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Quicker and more solid installations."
"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."
"The main quality is still to have a One Click process, then you save precious time."
"Customer support is excellent, quick response from product specialists."
"For us the flexibility of this product is nice, we can manage several things within one file and by giving parameters to the deployables."
"The product has a flexibility that allows it to work with various deployments and various technologies."
"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."
"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."
"It helps us orchestrate enterprise applications that need to be coordinated."
"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."
"Automated deployment forces the organization to standardize runtimes, development output and handling of platform provisioning."
"Our organization has already improved by quite a bit by taking out so much manual intervention from multiple people doing the deployments."
"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."
"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."
"Repeatable, reliable deployments from one environment to the next."
 

Cons

"Though the product is very good, I think the product can still be improved in a couple of ways."
"Customer service was not very good."
"The tool needs to improve on cloud-native GitOps."
"GUI: uses Adobe Flash which is a bit of a pain (Soon to be replaced by a new GUI with HTML5 and AngularJS)."
"The solution currently has a bug that causes performance issues. They need to resolve this in a future release."
"Our customers have not been happy with technical support. They need to do much better to help clients solve issues."
"The basic design is broken, as it computes diffs to perform updates."
"The GUI deserves some improvements."
"This solution could be made more flexible with respect to deploying databases."
"The reporting functionality is limited and it is difficult to retrieve information from the database due to the table structure."
"I'm really not that satisfied with the stability of UrbanCode Deploy."
"Upgrading an existing Urbancode Deploy server is unfortunately quite tricky, as many of the migration scripts for the database need patching and fixes based on the specific customer install."
"I would like to see more reporting for container architecture."
"There are also many bugs in UrbanCode Deploy."
"If you really want to scale up, it's going to get a little complicated. You'll have to do some configurations to make it work."
"I would like to have the agent up and running at all times, as opposed to only while it is in the DevOps pipeline."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

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