Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Jenkins deployment was hard to maintain different environments, different variables, machines etc., now we have it all under one roof."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"Customer support is excellent, quick response from product specialists."
"The product has a flexibility that allows it to work with various deployments and various technologies."
"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."
"ROI is difficult to explain but it's provided huge savings."
"Our organization has already improved by quite a bit by taking out so much manual intervention from multiple people doing the deployments."
"The solution is a great tool for hands-on deployment that is straightforward."
"Repeatable, reliable deployments from one environment to the next."
"This product is excellent for deploying components and running processes related to deployments."
"It has automated the deployment of tasks to different environments which we were previously only able to do manually."
"There are several most valuable features for us: Automation of deployment processes for all our projects, it's user-friendly enough for our development team to access and use on a daily basis, and the lead approval process is one of the unique features in it that can't be found in any other automation tool."
"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."
 

Cons

"Though the product is very good, I think the product can still be improved in a couple of ways."
"Customer Service: 3/10. Technical Support: 3/10."
"The basic design is broken, as it computes diffs to perform updates."
"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."
"The GUI deserves some improvements."
"Documentation / initial setup / learning curve."
"GUI: uses Adobe Flash which is a bit of a pain (Soon to be replaced by a new GUI with HTML5 and AngularJS)."
"Licensing structure - pay per machine deployed to."
"In our implementation, we created 16 PMR for this product. 15 of them were solved."
"The resource tree is pretty bulky and slow; making a change to the resource tree manually is pretty difficult when size increases."
"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."
"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."
"There are also many bugs in UrbanCode Deploy."
"Sometimes the deployment process reports are faulty."
"I would like to have the agent up and running at all times, as opposed to only while it is in the DevOps pipeline."
 

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."
