Very well suited for hybrid cloud management with Kubernetes Orchestration from on-prem and also RedHat Openshift Kubernetes orchestration platform on IBM Cloud. Exceptionally well suited also having significant IBM Cloud Paks software such as API Management and Enterprise Kafka. Need to be improved for the multi-cloud strategy of the enterprises and also develops tools integration for some cases.

IBM Cloud Developer Tools has expanded my team's capabilities to develop our Cloud applications quickly, collaboratively, and effectively. The tools allow us to create and modify our web applications and quickly roll back changes as needed. The crucial key for us is that we can easily bring and use our own code and have it work with the tools as needed.

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.

I would recommend IBM Cloud CLI which replaces IBM Cloud Developer Tools. If you need to build applications and services on the IBM Cloud, this is the first and most important step so you are able to manage resources from the command line, which is my preferred way of doing day to day operations on a cloud provider.

IBM Cloud Developer Tools is well suited for remote collaboration in the cloud, to swiftly build, deploy and maintain cloud-native applications at scale. IBM Cloud Developer Tools makes this possible by offering a free, lite, and paid tier to plan, budget, and execute your next application in the cloud. The team at IBM, professionalism and skill set are second to none.

This [IBM Cloud Developer Tools] gives a proper integration with many of the tools. It is also being used for easy setup, stability as well as flexibility, and reuse of templates. This is an integrated platform for ease of access. The setup is being very easy in terms and it also has deployment templates which can help and easily integrate with that of the IBM cloud-based applications, and more of the details for any of the logs would be given for deployment build is failing. It is inappropriate when it comes to debugging the errors at that of the deployment times.

It is a tool that I can recommend to anyone with the same field and I know they won't get disappointed with it because firstly it provides remote access and one can deploy swiftly from any location. It is suitable for large firms with massive services. It is not recommended to someone looking for cheap software of this kind as it is an extremely expensive tool. Moreover, its setup takes much longer time and this is infuriating.

If you are already working in IBM's Cloud deployment services, it is at least worth it to check it out. It is free to use, and can help you automate much of the deployment process. While I would typically recommend it if you are working with 10+ servers, it can be used by anyone if you expect you need to repeat the deployment process in the future

When we want to migrate our applications from on premises to cloud this IBM Cloud Continuous Delivery is well suited, and it helps [us] to develop and run locally and deploy into the cloud when we want. There is [a] pipeline used to maintain continuous delivery of on premises application into the cloud. Great service and great support with IBM Cloud Continuous Delivery.

It's hard to believe that a huge company as IBM would provide a service that's only reliable for non mission critical applications, but that's the truth. IBM has shown no idea on how to hold and manage it's Cloud Foundry version. Result of this, when it fails, it fails terribly, more than 6 hours of downtime due to IBM Cloud problems, more than 1 complete day failing to update our applications due to Continuous Delivery problems, and support didn't know when the problem was solved or what the cause was.
I would only recommend IBM Cloud Continuous Delivery for non mission critical applications or simple proof of concepts. Continuous delivery doesn't seem to be IBM's strength, but only a must have because all "the big ones" have it.

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.

IBM Cloud Continuous Delivery is well suited for almost any project, especially if you are already using others IBM Cloud services. Almost anybody without any previous experience with the interface can create and setup their initial service. However, if you project demands a more elaborated delivery pipeline, it can require more in depth learning of the service.
