Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I integrated rBuilder with Jenkins and set up a Continuous Deployment."
"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."
"Our organization has already improved by quite a bit by taking out so much manual intervention from multiple people doing the deployments."
"ROI is difficult to explain but it's provided huge savings."
"Urbancode Deploy allowed our group to go from managing deployment of two enterprise applications to fifteen, over the course of 18 months, with no increase in staffing or increase in system downtime."
"The most valuable feature is the snapshot functionality, which allows us to access previous versions of the artifacts."
"It has automated the deployment of tasks to different environments which we were previously only able to do manually."
"The solution is a great tool for hands-on deployment that is straightforward."
"It was very easy to install and configure IBM UrbanCode Deploy and remotely deploy its agents."
 

Cons

"Customer Service was poor Technical Support: Only a few people actually had in-depth knowledge"
"This solution could be made more flexible with respect to deploying databases."
"Sometimes the deployment process reports are faulty."
"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."
"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."
"The technical support of the solution could definitely be improved as PMRs take a long to resolve."
"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 scalability of this application needs improvement. Changes and variations in the application become bottlenecks as they need to be more seamless and comfortable."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"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."
