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.

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.
