Good solution for heterogeneous enterprise environments that have different workflows
The solution is for heterogeneous enterprise environments that have different workflows like Kubernetes, Linux, Windows, and mainframe The solution creates a manifest file that caps the bridge between the developer and the system admin. The tool needs to improve on cloud-native GitOps. I have…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"The product has a flexibility that allows it to work with various deployments and various technologies."
"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 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 product sounds good thanks to its UI, as it is really easy to perform a deployment when things work."
"This product is an innovative market leader in the field of application deployment."
"Jenkins deployment was hard to maintain different environments, different variables, machines etc., now we have it all under one roof."
"The stability is good. I haven't experienced any issues."
"The most valuable feature is the snapshot functionality, which allows us to access previous versions of the artifacts."
"Centralization of our deployment process Unification of our nonprod and production deployment process"
"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."
"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, and this new release took me five minutes."
"It was very easy to install and configure IBM UrbanCode Deploy and remotely deploy its agents."
"It has provided a platform for traceability across the whole release cycle for more than 700 diverse applications."
"Coming from where we were and getting to where we are was just never could have been done without uDeploy and it's just incredibly powerful for us."
 

Cons

"The solution currently has a bug that causes performance issues. They need to resolve this in a future release."
"Customer Service: 3/10. Technical Support: 3/10."
"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 GUI deserves some improvements."
"Some deployables have to be built, it is not quite difficult but not every product is supported by one standard."
"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."
"GUI: uses Adobe Flash which is a bit of a pain (Soon to be replaced by a new GUI with HTML5 and AngularJS)."
"There have been a lot of broken stoppages in uDeploy 6.1.2, particularly in the upgrade."
"This solution could be made more flexible with respect to deploying databases."
"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."
"Technical support is bad."
"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."
"I would like to have the agent up and running at all times, as opposed to only while it is in the DevOps pipeline."
"The resource tree is pretty bulky and slow; making a change to the resource tree manually is pretty difficult when size increases."
"I think that the IBM support team needs to be more proactive in their responses to PMR tickets raised by customers."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product’s pricing is acceptable. We get volume discounts."
"Pricing costs are based on annual subscriptions."
"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."
"Considering COVID-19, the price is too high."
