Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The product sounds good thanks to its UI, as it is really easy to perform a deployment when things work."
"Quicker and more solid installations."
"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."
"The solution creates a manifest file that caps the bridge between the developer and the system admin."
"Jenkins deployment was hard to maintain different environments, different variables, machines etc., now we have it all under one roof."
"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 main quality is still to have a One Click process, then you save precious time."
"Customer support is excellent, quick response from product specialists."
"It was very easy to install and configure IBM UrbanCode Deploy and remotely deploy its agents."
"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."
"The solution handles complex deployments very efficiently."
"Automated deployment forces the organization to standardize runtimes, development output and handling of platform provisioning."
"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."
"Stable solution that's good for automating the CI/CD pipeline: from development to production."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to create a deployment process visually and to see that process executing in real time, step by step, with access to log files and with a click of a button."
 

Cons

"Customer service was not very good."
"The basic design is broken, as it computes diffs to perform updates."
"Some deployables have to be built, it is not quite difficult but not every product is supported by one standard."
"Our customers have not been happy with technical support. They need to do much better to help clients solve issues."
"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)."
"Though the product is very good, I think the product can still be improved in a couple of ways."
"I’d like better reporting possibilities."
"There have been a lot of broken stoppages in uDeploy 6.1.2, particularly in the upgrade."
"The solution is stable. When multiple deployment jobs are triggered at once, the solution logs the second job until the first is completed. This could impact performance or progress because the solution gets stuck in a holding pattern."
"This solution could be made more flexible with respect to deploying databases."
"There are also many bugs in UrbanCode Deploy."
"I'm really not that satisfied with the stability of UrbanCode Deploy."
"WebSphere deployments, for some reason, don’t work out-of-the-box."
"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 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."
"The cost of the solution is high but it offers great ROI."
"Considering COVID-19, the price is too high."
