    IBM UrbanCode Deploy is excellent for code deployments such as Java, .Net, C++, etc. It can also deploy and run SQLs reasonably well. Where it lacks is the ability for executables, Jars, WARs, EARs, etc.

    Database Migrations on Java-based solutions. It has one of the best integrations with it as a database migration tool, you can do it with the community edition (no pricing involved) and it works flawlessly with Maven and Gradle. It's not an expensive tool in order to use the next level of features and is worth the money. I would recommend reaching that edition level as the object mapping feature gets really handy. I would not recommend it for any Microsoft-based solution (.Net) as is not compatible at all based on my experience, this is a tool only worth it with Java applications.

    Cons
    IBM
    • IBM UrbanCode Deploy does code deployments easy enough, but configurations or ex deployments are a little more complicated. I work on packaged systems, so most of the code I get is form a vendor that I have to deploy.
    • IBM UebanCode Deploy integration into the mainframe world would be ideal. My company uses Mainframe and OpenSystems technologies, and many times there are dependencies between the deployments.

    • Updating it causes problems, there have been unnecessary changes that wasted time
    • Requires knowledge & studying so it's used properly
    • Lots of options that might be difficult to understand for non technical people

    Usability
    IBM
    It's challenging to get a working knowledge of the product without having someone show you the ropes. Linking components with applications and applications with resource trees and resource trees with application deploys is not intuitive. However, once past that learning curve, the possibilities open up, and things become easier to understand and allow for further granularity.

    It's very easy to install and use. Even someone very new to the software will have no trouble, plus the team reach out to help you and continue to offer you support throughout. Really simple interface, clean design, all you could really ask for in a tool that needs to do a job dependably

    I've not worked directly with IBM UrbanCode Deploy support. My DevOps team administers the environment and deals with that.

    The problem with a cloud-based tool for migration services is the cloud dependency. You are restricted to use the tool along the Cloud provider. Flyway gives you the freedom to use it in any scenario as long as you are working with a compatible database engine. Even if you are working on-premise and you don't have plans to move to a cloud architecture. Or even for sandbox development scenarios where you are a developer playing around with some project ideas. And you don't have to pay anything as long as you need advanced features, and not less importantly, you are using an open-source tool.

    IBM
    • Push button deployments.
    • Consistency and ability to focus on other tasks.
    • Required quite a bit of upfront customization with certain web deployments (WebSphere, etc.)
    • Opened the door to other types of deployments and other automation.

    • I definitely think it do have positive impact to our company's database management.
    • We have 4 database environments and thus it is easy when we push the database to various environments.
