Automatic installation for complex deployments and environments, with good workflow support

I like that really complex deployments are possible with it. It's very good. You have everything you need. You can design your workflows for your needs. You can do so much more, it's not just an automatic installation tool. It's a real deployment tool. I can do the complete deployment with everything that is possible.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The measurement and the display functions make it easy to report all the statuses up to management, and it has helped our customers with their time, costs, and resources."

"I would say our headwind, or our time to market, is reduced considerably. We get more consistent results out of it, because you write one time and once it's automated you expect it to behave the same way every time. And it cut down a lot of re-work for us."

"The capability to provide visibility to the stakeholders, to management, is the biggest piece that showcases what the solution is about."

"I think on a day-to-day basis, it has increased the capacity to deploy. We don't have to wait for someone to do something."

"It gives us good feedback on visualizations and on how our processes have progressed."

"They have gained efficiency that they cannot achieve in any other way."

"The IT process automation is the most valuable aspect of this solution."

"Deployment workflow (WF) can be designed this way, so that it is not necessary to provide all applications (systems) artifacts of which an application consists."

More Automic Continuous Delivery Automation [EOL] pros

"Our organization has already improved by quite a bit by taking out so much manual intervention from multiple people doing the deployments."

"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."

"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."

"It reduced more than 70% of our manual effort when it automated deployment of both UNIX and Windows-based applications using UrbanCode Deploy."

"The stability is good. I haven't experienced any issues."

"Getting the deployments automated adds a lot of value."

"It has automated the deployment of tasks to different environments which we were previously only able to do manually."

"The solution handles complex deployments very efficiently."

More UrbanCode Deploy pros

Cons

"I would like to see more support for WebSphere."

"The dashboard should allow you to see the current state of packages in each environment, not only on an individual application basis, but across the entire application platform."

"We hope that we can integrate the new CD Directive into our portfolio, so we can bring the deployment and release management closer together."

"The stability of the solution can be improved."

"key thing is support for cloud-based deployment. That is lacking."

"There needs to be better error handling and error descriptions. It should be more clear what the errors are and what we can do to fix them."

"There are some bugs. For example, during the design of a workflow, important information is lost, it vanishes."

"The first time setup can be very complicated."

More Automic Continuous Delivery Automation [EOL] cons

"Licensing structure - pay per machine deployed to."

"Sometimes the tool gets hung while running a plan."

"I'm really not that satisfied with the stability of UrbanCode Deploy."

"There are also many bugs in UrbanCode Deploy."

"The interface allows access in a number of ways but that can be confusing."

"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."

"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."

"Lack of technical expertise available in the market that forces us to rely solely on IBM Professional Services."

More UrbanCode Deploy cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We increased our quality and reduced our time costs."

"If you have a fixed contract, it has limits to spreading out. If you have a flexible enterprise license contract, then you have a lot of scalability for this tool."

"Customers often complain about the price."

"I can save time and money more quickly."

"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."

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