Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable feature of Codar is the ability to provide us with faster application releases."
"Urbancode Deploy allowed our group to go from managing deployment of two enterprise applications to fifteen, over the course of 18 months, with no increase in staffing or increase in system downtime."
"This product is excellent for deploying components and running processes related to deployments."
"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."
"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."
"ROI is difficult to explain but it's provided huge savings."
"Getting the deployments automated adds a lot of value."
"The most valuable functionality is the ability to define the deployment process, schedule the deployment and automatically execute the deployments to different environments."
 

Cons

"Codar works well enough, but it's highly complex in setting up correctly."
"There have been a lot of broken stoppages in uDeploy 6.1.2, particularly in the upgrade."
"Technical support is bad."
"Licensing structure - pay per machine deployed to."
"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 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."
"The resource tree is pretty bulky and slow; making a change to the resource tree manually is pretty difficult when size increases."
"The technical support of the solution could definitely be improved as PMRs take a long to resolve."
"I'm really not that satisfied with the stability of UrbanCode Deploy."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
