Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"For us the flexibility of this product is nice, we can manage several things within one file and by giving parameters to the deployables."
"Quicker and more solid installations."
"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 product sounds good thanks to its UI, as it is really easy to perform a deployment when things work."
"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."
"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."
"Customer support is excellent, quick response from product specialists."
"The product has a flexibility that allows it to work with various deployments and various technologies."
"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 stability is good. I haven't experienced any issues."
"It reduced more than 70% of our manual effort when it automated deployment of both UNIX and Windows-based applications using UrbanCode Deploy."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is the snapshot functionality, which allows us to access previous versions of the artifacts."
"It has provided a platform for traceability across the whole release cycle for more than 700 diverse applications."
"Stable solution that's good for automating the CI/CD pipeline: from development to production."
"It helps us orchestrate enterprise applications that need to be coordinated."
 

Cons

"The tool needs to improve on cloud-native GitOps."
"The basic design is broken, as it computes diffs to perform updates."
"Though the product is very good, I think the product can still be improved in a couple of ways."
"The solution currently has a bug that causes performance issues. They need to resolve this in a future release."
"Customer service was not very good."
"GUI: uses Adobe Flash which is a bit of a pain (Soon to be replaced by a new GUI with HTML5 and AngularJS)."
"Customer Service: 3/10. Technical Support: 3/10."
"I’d like better reporting possibilities."
"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."
"The interface allows access in a number of ways but that can be confusing."
"Lack of technical expertise available in the market that forces us to rely solely on IBM Professional Services."
"More out of the box plugins are required though good number are avaialble at the moment."
"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."
"Technical support is bad."
"I think that the IBM support team needs to be more proactive in their responses to PMR tickets raised by customers."
"Sometimes the tool gets hung while running a plan."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

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