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."
"The main quality is still to have a One Click process, then you save precious time."
"Jenkins deployment was hard to maintain different environments, different variables, machines etc., now we have it all under one roof."
"The product has a flexibility that allows it to work with various deployments and various technologies."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"This product is excellent for deploying components and running processes related to deployments."
"The most valuable feature is the snapshot functionality, which allows us to access previous versions of the artifacts."
"This saves time, and makes the process much more reliable, reversible, repeatable, and traceable."
"It reduced more than 70% of our manual effort when it automated deployment of both UNIX and Windows-based applications using UrbanCode Deploy."
"Customer Service: Perfect. IBM has one of the best customer services."
"With the usage of UrbanCode Release, we are able to save on efforts required to create a detailed, accurate implementation plan, and as it has direct connectivity with UrbanCode Deploy, we can schedule automatic deployments and hence save on time and cost of resources, so the overall release efficiency has improved multifold."
"For DevOps, this tool is one of the best with all its integration capabilities for repositories and various systems."
"Centralization of our deployment process Unification of our nonprod and production deployment process"
 

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."
"Our customers have not been happy with technical support. They need to do much better to help clients solve issues."
"Some deployables have to be built, it is not quite difficult but not every product is supported by one standard."
"The GUI deserves some improvements."
"Documentation / initial setup / learning curve."
"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 solution currently has a bug that causes performance issues. They need to resolve this in a future release."
"Our organization has also tried other CI/CD tools. There are areas where this tool has been lacking, which is why alternatives are being looked into."
"More out of the box plugins are required though good number are avaialble at the moment."
"Lack of technical expertise available in the market that forces us to rely solely on IBM Professional Services."
"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."
"Sometimes the deployment process reports are faulty."
"I'm really not that satisfied with the stability of UrbanCode Deploy."
"The reporting functionality is limited and it is difficult to retrieve information from the database due to the table structure."
"In our implementation, we created 16 PMR for this product. 15 of them were solved."
 

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 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."
