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."
"This product is an innovative market leader in the field of application deployment."
"The product sounds good thanks to its UI, as it is really easy to perform a deployment when things work."
"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."
"Jenkins deployment was hard to maintain different environments, different variables, machines etc., now we have it all under one roof."
"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 solution creates a manifest file that caps the bridge between the developer and the system admin."
"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 most valuable feature is the ability to create a deployment process visually and to see that process executing in real time, step by step, with access to log files and with a click of a button."
"The solution handles complex deployments very efficiently."
"Stable solution that's good for automating the CI/CD pipeline: from development to production."
"The stability is good. I haven't experienced any issues."
"The most valuable feature is the snapshot functionality, which allows us to access previous versions of the artifacts."
"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."
"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."
"UrbanCode Deploy has really transformed the way we do code deployment, connecting development and operations more closely."
 

Cons

"Customer Service: 3/10. Technical Support: 3/10."
"The basic design is broken, as it computes diffs to perform updates."
"The tool needs to improve on cloud-native GitOps."
"Documentation / initial setup / learning curve."
"The solution currently has a bug that causes performance issues. They need to resolve this in a future release."
"Some deployables have to be built, it is not quite difficult but not every product is supported by one standard."
"The GUI deserves some improvements."
"I’d like better reporting possibilities."
"Lack of technical expertise available in the market that forces us to rely solely on IBM Professional Services."
"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 resource tree is pretty bulky and slow; making a change to the resource tree manually is pretty difficult when size increases."
"There are also many bugs in UrbanCode Deploy."
"I would like to see more reporting for container architecture."
"The technical support of the solution could definitely be improved as PMRs take long to resolve."
"The reporting functionality is limited and it is difficult to retrieve information from the database due to the table structure."
"I think that the IBM support team needs to be more proactive in their responses to PMR tickets raised by customers."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

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