    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.

    Best suited for applications where installing from scratch is not an option or a very difficult one. Migrating applications that you are familiar with, you have support for or have done in the past, via AppZero, in my experience, may become more time/resource consuming. In my environment it makes little sense for example to migrate an Office Suite via AppZero. Good at collapsing tiers (e.g. old application whose demand has waned and it no longer needs to serve large number of users). The score is awarded is a bit misleading, AppZero is invaluable when you have no other choice but for mainstream applications its value drops.

    • When documentation regarding the implementation of an application is missing (e.g. old versions and support is prohibitive to obtain, or in case of homegrown applications) it becomes the tool available to perform the migration.
    • There is always a back-out option, and different approaches/attempts can be made.
    • Will provide you insight on what otherwise would be a "blackbox" application.
    • Allows you to consolidated multi-tiered applications into fewer/single tiers.

    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.

    • I'd like to see a more streamlined migration of applications relying on SQL.
    • I'd like to see better documentation, or perhaps labs/examples available.

    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.

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

    I have not use any other application for this purpose. I've selected AppZero based on peer recommendation and found it to fulfill the functionality I was looking for.

    Return on Investment
    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.

    • It has certainly proved to be a worthwhile investment. There were cases where to migrate an application several versions behind with lapsed support would've been a many zeroes expense. Done via AppZero, it was a LOT cheaper.
