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."
"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."
"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 product sounds good thanks to its UI, as it is really easy to perform a deployment when things work."
"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."
"The main quality is still to have a One Click process, then you save precious time."
"Quicker and more solid installations."
"The product has a flexibility that allows it to work with various deployments and various technologies."
"It helps us orchestrate enterprise applications that need to be coordinated."
"It has automated the deployment of tasks to different environments which we were previously only able to do manually."
"UrbanCode Deploy has really transformed the way we do code deployment, connecting development and operations more closely."
"For DevOps, this tool is one of the best with all its integration capabilities for repositories and various systems."
"It has provided a platform for traceability across the whole release cycle for more than 700 diverse applications."
"Customer Service: Perfect. IBM has one of the best customer services."
"The stability is good. I haven't experienced any issues."
"ROI is difficult to explain but it's provided huge savings."
 

Cons

"Though the product is very good, I think the product can still be improved in a couple of ways."
"I’d like better reporting possibilities."
"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)."
"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 basic design is broken, as it computes diffs to perform updates."
"The tool needs to improve on cloud-native GitOps."
"Customer Service: 3/10. Technical Support: 3/10."
"I would like to have the agent up and running at all times, as opposed to only while it is in the DevOps pipeline."
"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."
"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."
"In our implementation, we created 16 PMR for this product. 15 of them were solved."
"I certainly would like to have a better way to pass information between deployment steps using UrbanCode Deploy because that's really difficult to do."
"We have encountered scalability issues. We did not scale particularly well."
"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."
 

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 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."
