Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The main quality is still to have a One Click process, then you save precious time."
"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 creates a manifest file that caps the bridge between the developer and the system admin."
"Quicker and more solid installations."
"Jenkins deployment was hard to maintain different environments, different variables, machines etc., now we have it all under one roof."
"This product is an innovative market leader in the field of application deployment."
"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."
"The product sounds good thanks to its UI, as it is really easy to perform a deployment when things work."
"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."
"Stable solution that's good for automating the CI/CD pipeline: from development to production."
"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."
"For DevOps, this tool is one of the best with all its integration capabilities for repositories and various systems."
"Customer Service: Perfect. IBM has one of the best customer services."
"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."
 

Cons

"The solution currently has a bug that causes performance issues. They need to resolve this in a future release."
"Our customers have not been happy with technical support. They need to do much better to help clients solve issues."
"The basic design is broken, as it computes diffs to perform updates."
"GUI: uses Adobe Flash which is a bit of a pain (Soon to be replaced by a new GUI with HTML5 and AngularJS)."
"Customer service was not very good."
"Customer Service: 3/10. Technical Support: 3/10."
"The tool needs to improve on cloud-native GitOps."
"Though the product is very good, I think the product can still be improved in a couple of ways."
"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."
"I think that the IBM support team needs to be more proactive in their responses to PMR tickets raised by customers."
"Sometimes the tool gets hung while running a plan."
"More out of the box plugins are required though good number are avaialble at the moment."
"We have encountered scalability issues. We did not scale particularly well."
"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."
"The reporting functionality is limited and it is difficult to retrieve information from the database due to the table structure."
"Technical support is bad."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

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