    Quotes from Members

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

    Pros

    "I integrated rBuilder with Jenkins and set up a Continuous Deployment."
    "This saves time, and makes the process much more reliable, reversible, repeatable, and traceable."
    "ROI is difficult to explain but it's provided huge savings."
    "It helps us orchestrate enterprise applications that need to be coordinated."
    "Automated deployment forces the organization to standardize runtimes, development output and handling of platform provisioning."
    "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."
    "Customer Service: Perfect. IBM has one of the best customer services."
    "Repeatable, reliable deployments from one environment to the next."

    Cons

    "Customer Service was poor Technical Support: Only a few people actually had in-depth knowledge"
    "We have encountered scalability issues. We did not scale particularly well."
    "I'm really not that satisfied with the stability of 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."
    "The interface allows access in a number of ways but that can be confusing."
    "WebSphere deployments, for some reason, don’t work out-of-the-box."
    "Lack of technical expertise available in the market that forces us to rely solely on IBM Professional Services."
    "Licensing structure - pay per machine deployed to."
    "Full blown support for repositories such a SonaType Nexus would be better than having to deploy an agent to watch particular filesystem paths."
    More UrbanCode Deploy cons
     

    Pricing and Cost Advice

    Information not available
    "The cost of the solution is high but it offers great ROI."
    "Considering COVID-19, the price is too high."
    "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."
