**Reviewed Date:** June 15, 2022

**What do you like best about UrbanCode?**

I like how it simplifies a complicated deployment process. The user experience is good. The value it delivers is great.

**What do you dislike about UrbanCode?**

From a developers point of view I don't see any cons.

  ### 2. Urban code Deploy

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Information Technology and Services | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** July 28, 2020

**What do you like best about UrbanCode?**

Urban code deploy is a very useful tool especially when the environment is too complex. Releases/deployments can be easily handled once the basic configurations are done. You can easily identify issues during deployment based on the step at which it had failed.Scheduling your processes is also a good feature. When compared to manual deployments,It takes very minimal time during deployments as you can run all the processes simultaneously if there are many servers for an application.You could also compare your versions with all other environments to see if they are inline.One of the best feature is snapshot where you can access previous version and this can also be used to roll back a deployment very easily.There are many other features which are very useful.

**What do you dislike about UrbanCode?**

Not much that i am aware of. Could have some drawbacks too

**Recommendations to others considering UrbanCode:**

It is a very useful tool that can be used during deployments. Lot of features are user friendly.
Reduced time for deployments when compared to manual ones.

  ### 3. Large intuitive implementation platform full of add-ons for good automation.

**Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Danielle O. | Senior Data Analyst, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** January 22, 2020

**What do you like best about UrbanCode?**

Urbancode is a good platform and has been able to promote repeatable and immutable production implementation deadlines of 10 to 15 minutes, which allows us to meet our implementation objectives. As we expand the use of UrbanCode implementation, this tool is fast and of good quality.

**What do you dislike about UrbanCode?**

Support can be cumbersome, and getting a simple answer can take several days, it is useless in a nutshell, in addition to the fact that system updates are cumbersome and spoil their implementation during that period, they should improve that very serious error.

**Recommendations to others considering UrbanCode:**

I am not one of the people who generally recommend work tools, but in this case if I recommend it for great strategic growth, it is an agile tool that can be incorporated and worth trying.

**What problems is UrbanCode solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We have used UrbanCode for a long time and I could really say that it is good for implementation in complex environments that provides scalability and high system availability, advanced and filled those gaps that allow us to meet our implementation objectives.

  ### 4. Urbancode the best Automation solution

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Information Technology and Services | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** June 26, 2020

**What do you like best about UrbanCode?**

Urbancode is the best Automation solution. We can model our application for deployment automation. Deploy application components to target environments. Also monitor deployments.

**What do you dislike about UrbanCode?**

When there is an important deployment and if the agent is offline then we have to go to server and make the agent online, due to which our work gets slow. There should be some notifications which shows that this particular agent is offline. Once deployment is done through a tag we can't do modification to that tag.

**What problems is UrbanCode solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We can schedule our deployment, so we can do multiple deployments. We can keep track of the changes done to the process. Also can keep track of the deployments done.

  ### 5. Good code implementation software integrates well and is easy to use.

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** William K. | System Analyst, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** January 20, 2020

**What do you like best about UrbanCode?**

I like it because it is one of the few code implementation tools that works, it is efficient and powerful at the same time, being a Java web application, which also offers image tests that are generally not excellent, its good open source implementation is One of the key aspects, in addition to offering different complements for process automation, I would not complain of excellent support.

**What do you dislike about UrbanCode?**

Sometimes, the updates of the tool can cause problems and deny the implementations during the update period, which bothers a lot, I think it could improve that part, also another negative point is that the implementation generally freezes and lasts hours to work well.

**Recommendations to others considering UrbanCode:**

Yes, I strongly recommend it, you can use it easily, but be sure to include some training dollars in your purchase order when requesting a quote.

**What problems is UrbanCode solving and how is that benefiting you?**

It has been able to generate reports where we can find where the error occurred in the implementation, this tool is very powerful and has been very useful especially to test and implement applications and integrate some things, saves a lot of time, this tool works very well and takes us to the right path.

Limitation with Agent when switching users with su/sudo on Solaris with CA

**Recommendations to others considering UrbanCode:**

Automate everything possible, do not leave any manual steps. Manual steps will slow down and bring mistakes to entire major release/deployments.

**What problems is UrbanCode solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Reduced manual deployments of weblogic applications + batch components, -  hundreds of deployments where done manually taking hours. With urban code it was reduced to minutes with minimal human intervention.

Some software processes and features are complex to understand at first.

**Recommendations to others considering UrbanCode:**

I suggest you pay close attention to the reports as this allows you to quickly find the errors.

Integration with many of the clouds that we use in my team. We were using AWS, IBM Cloud and Azure in some of the projects in conjunction with Apple.

**What do you dislike about UrbanCode?**

Not a lot of documentation in my personal view, I think there could be a lot more training and a lot more help from the community and the software to allow users to achieve better things. Urbancode should focus on more training for other companies, inside IBM there is a good training but not for people outside of it

**Recommendations to others considering UrbanCode:**

Learn all the functionalities and research for training before using it
