Use Cases and Deployment Scope
We chose IBM Cloud Continuous Delivery for continuous deployment of our apps. We were looking to save time and overhead with less downtime and automate our continuous delivery process. There were inconsistencies in our processes between teams and we wanted to standardize with a tool to manage everything as well with support.
Pros and Cons
  • Tool integration
  • Ease of use
  • Ability to copy templates
  • Set up time and integration took longer than expected
  • Documentation could be better
  • UI is sometimes not intuitive
Likelihood to Recommend
For the price you'd want to have several teams using this, and if you have multiple applications to deploy. A bit pricey if you are a small team with only 1-2 apps compared to other solutions. Also nice that you can access the tool remotely from anywhere given our distibuted global teams. It has helped to have a couple of in house experts to act as support for our teams as well.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
CD is used to implement CI/CD pipelines to continuously deploy applications we are developing, for us or for our clients.
We have around 15 developers using it daily for several applications.
Pros and Cons
  • Simple to use.
  • Ability to package our own tools.
  • Integrate to a variety of tools.
  • Much too expensive.
Likelihood to Recommend
I would recommend this tool only for large companies with a huge usage of the service.
The pricing model based on users is nonsense in a cloud world where services are priced on usage.
It kills the interest of the product.
I recommend users to build a TCO comparison with alternatives. Competitors may be less expensive in many situations.
