Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"This product is an innovative market leader in the field of application deployment."
"Customer support is excellent, quick response from product specialists."
"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."
"Quicker and more solid installations."
"The main quality is still to have a One Click process, then you save precious time."
"The product sounds good thanks to its UI, as it is really easy to perform a deployment when things work."
"Jenkins deployment was hard to maintain different environments, different variables, machines etc., now we have it all under one roof."
"The solution handles complex deployments very efficiently."
"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."
"Our organization has already improved by quite a bit by taking out so much manual intervention from multiple people doing the deployments."
"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."
"It has automated the deployment of tasks to different environments which we were previously only able to do manually."
"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."
"This product is excellent for deploying components and running processes related to deployments."
 

Cons

"The basic design is broken, as it computes diffs to perform updates."
"Documentation / initial setup / learning curve."
"Our customers have not been happy with technical support. They need to do much better to help clients solve issues."
"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."
"Though the product is very good, I think the product can still be improved in a couple of ways."
"The tool needs to improve on cloud-native GitOps."
"I’d like better reporting possibilities."
"The technical support of the solution could definitely be improved as PMRs take a long to resolve."
"The reporting functionality is limited and it is difficult to retrieve information from the database due to the table structure."
"There are also many bugs in UrbanCode Deploy."
"I'm really not that satisfied with the stability of UrbanCode Deploy."
"The resource tree is pretty bulky and slow; making a change to the resource tree manually is pretty difficult when size increases."
"Sometimes the tool gets hung while running a plan."
"There have been a lot of broken stoppages in uDeploy 6.1.2, particularly in the upgrade."
"We have encountered scalability issues. We did not scale particularly well."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Pricing costs are based on annual subscriptions."
"The product’s pricing is acceptable. We get volume discounts."
"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."
