Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"The solution creates a manifest file that caps the bridge between the developer and the system admin."
"The product has a flexibility that allows it to work with various deployments and various technologies."
"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."
"For us the flexibility of this product is nice, we can manage several things within one file and by giving parameters to the deployables."
"For DevOps, this tool is one of the best with all its integration capabilities for repositories and various systems."
"ROI is difficult to explain but it's provided huge savings."
"The most valuable feature is the snapshot functionality, which allows us to access previous versions of the artifacts."
"Repeatable, reliable deployments from one environment to the next."
"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."
"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."
"It has provided a platform for traceability across the whole release cycle for more than 700 diverse applications."
"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."
 

Cons

"Some deployables have to be built, it is not quite difficult but not every product is supported by one standard."
"Though the product is very good, I think the product can still be improved in a couple of ways."
"Documentation / initial setup / learning curve."
"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."
"The tool needs to improve on cloud-native GitOps."
"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 scalability of this application needs improvement. Changes and variations in the application become bottlenecks as they need to be more seamless and comfortable."
"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."
"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."
"Lack of technical expertise available in the market that forces us to rely solely on IBM Professional Services."
"The technical support of the solution could definitely be improved as PMRs take long to resolve."
"I think that the IBM support team needs to be more proactive in their responses to PMR tickets raised by customers."
"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."
"WebSphere deployments, for some reason, don’t work out-of-the-box."
 

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 cost of the solution is high but it offers great ROI."
"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."
