Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Deployment workflow (WF) can be designed this way, so that it is not necessary to provide all applications (systems) artifacts of which an application consists.""The product provides efficiency, in terms time, cost, and resources.""The event monitor is very good. You can monitor when the file is created so you can pick up the file once it's done.""I think on a day-to-day basis, it has increased the capacity to deploy. We don't have to wait for someone to do something.""It provides a wonderful user interface which is easy to use.""The capability to provide visibility to the stakeholders, to management, is the biggest piece that showcases what the solution is about.""It is an umbrella system that allows us to integrate many different systems into our heterogeneous environment.""We have saved on our time costs and have seen more quality."

"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.""The solution handles complex deployments very efficiently.""The most valuable functionality is the ability to define the deployment process, schedule the deployment and automatically execute the deployments to different environments.""The most valuable feature is the snapshot functionality, which allows us to access previous versions of the artifacts.""The stability is good. I haven't experienced any issues.""Stable solution that's good for automating the CI/CD pipeline: from development to production."

Cons
"It would be very beneficial for us to see integrations into cloud environments, especially into the Google Cloud environment because we are heading towards cloud.""One of the biggest features I've been asked by my team to put in there is opening more scripting languages to be part of the platform. There is a little bit of a learning curve in learning how to code some of the workflows in Automic at this time. If widely used languages like Perl and Python were integrated, on top of what's already there, the proprietary language, it would make it easier to on-board new resources.""If you have a technical problem and need development of the tool, the support team is terrible, because they cannot help with the technical details.""At the moment, the version that we are using (version 12.0), the environment is complex with multiple installations. Therefore, the monitoring is not scalable, but this should be improved in 12.1 and 12.2.""The dashboard should allow you to see the current state of packages in each environment, not only on an individual application basis, but across the entire application platform.""Not a perfect ten because the user interface is brand new and it needs improvement.""key thing is support for cloud-based deployment. That is lacking.""GUI for mobile phones: Availability to approve and start deployment through mobile phones."

"The scalability of this application needs improvement. Changes and variations in the application become bottlenecks as they need to be more seamless and comfortable.""I certainly would like to have a better way to pass information between deployment steps using UrbanCode Deploy because that's really difficult to do.""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 interface allows access in a number of ways but that can be confusing.""I would like to have the agent up and running at all times, as opposed to only while it is in the DevOps pipeline."
