Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Customer support is excellent, quick response from product specialists."
"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."
"This product is an innovative market leader in the field of application deployment."
"The solution creates a manifest file that caps the bridge between the developer and the system admin."
"The main quality is still to have a One Click process, then you save precious time."
"Quicker and more solid installations."
"The product sounds good thanks to its UI, as it is really easy to perform a deployment when things work."
"The most valuable feature is the snapshot functionality, which allows us to access previous versions of the artifacts."
"ROI is difficult to explain but it's provided huge savings."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is the snapshot functionality, which allows us to access previous versions of the artifacts."
"For DevOps, this tool is one of the best with all its integration capabilities for repositories and various systems."
"Our organization has already improved by quite a bit by taking out so much manual intervention from multiple people doing the deployments."
"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 functionality is the ability to define the deployment process, schedule the deployment and automatically execute the deployments to different environments."
 

Cons

"Documentation / initial setup / learning curve."
"The basic design is broken, as it computes diffs to perform updates."
"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 tool needs to improve on cloud-native GitOps."
"Some deployables have to be built, it is not quite difficult but not every product is supported by one standard."
"I’d like better reporting possibilities."
"The solution currently has a bug that causes performance issues. They need to resolve this in a future release."
"Customer service was not very good."
"The scalability of this application needs improvement. Changes and variations in the application become bottlenecks as they need to be more seamless and comfortable."
"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."
"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."
"There are also many bugs in UrbanCode Deploy."
"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."
"Full blown support for repositories such a SonaType Nexus would be better than having to deploy an agent to watch particular filesystem paths."
"Its reliability has been a little suspect, and one of our frustrations has been that it's taken them some time to focus on fixing that problem."
"If you really want to scale up, it's going to get a little complicated. You'll have to do some configurations to make it work."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

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