Be more productive, happier, save money. Be JRebel.
Pros
- Removes the time needed for redeployments of the source code - improves productivity, time to market, and saves money.
- Easy to install
- License renewals - the sales department reaches out to you long before the licenses expire so you can have time to get your approvals.
- Analytics and reporting - it will show you the time saved by JRebel and even the ROI, if you input the average hourly cost of a developer.
Cons
- In multi-project environments, the dependencies are not always reloaded.
- License management - we use a license server with a combination of dedicated licenses and floating. I had some struggle managing these due to the License Server User Interface not being very intuitive.
Return on Investment
- In the first year JRebel saved us $28k by removing the wasted development time for a team of 7 developers with 4 re-deployments per hour.
- JRebel paid for itself in less than a month in the first year.
- In the second year JRebel saved us $20k by removing the wasted development time for a team of 5 developers with 4 re-deployments per hour.
