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."
"Jenkins deployment was hard to maintain different environments, different variables, machines etc., now we have it all under one roof."
"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 main quality is still to have a One Click process, then you save precious time."
"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."
"This product is an innovative market leader in the field of application deployment."
"Customer support is excellent, quick response from product specialists."
"Our organization has already improved by quite a bit by taking out so much manual intervention from multiple people doing the deployments."
"For DevOps, this tool is one of the best with all its integration capabilities for repositories and various systems."
"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."
"This product is excellent for deploying components and running processes related to deployments."
"The most valuable functionality is the ability to define the deployment process, schedule the deployment and automatically execute the deployments to different environments."
"The solution handles complex deployments very efficiently."
"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."
"ROI is difficult to explain but it's provided huge savings."
 

Cons

"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."
"Customer service was not very good."
"Some deployables have to be built, it is not quite difficult but not every product is supported by one standard."
"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."
"Documentation / initial setup / learning curve."
"I’d like better reporting possibilities."
"Our customers have not been happy with technical support. They need to do much better to help clients solve issues."
"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."
"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 scalability of this application needs improvement. Changes and variations in the application become bottlenecks as they need to be more seamless and comfortable."
"Lack of technical expertise available in the market that forces us to rely solely on IBM Professional Services."
"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."
"In our implementation, we created 16 PMR for this product. 15 of them were solved."
"I certainly would like to have a better way to pass information between deployment steps using UrbanCode Deploy because that's really difficult to do."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

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