Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • The UI is super user friendly, to setup projects is super easy, after we did some POCs, we decide migrated existed projects from Jenkins to BuddyCI immediately.
  • 1. Makes deployment a breeze. 2. One-time setup and now as soon as the PR merges into develop or master it auto deploys.
  • Easy deployment and easy tracking, for every deployment release. has been a true game-changer for us ever since the integration.
  • Easy to use GUI with tonnes of options. The pipelines are very easy to maintain with Buddy. Easy integration with GitHub.
  • Huge amount of customization possible. The solution we came from was very simple and we outgrew it's capabilities, with Buddy it does not seem possible. It supports a huge library of functionality that made our deployment setup a breeze. Great support, always answers quickly and actually contacts their developers for clarification if tech support is unable to answer your question.

Cons

  • If there are more tutorials or how-to articles on the site would be super helpful. To my knowledge so far, I could not find a way to see what is the pass/failure rate for all pipelines/projects, the reporting is not very helpful by just displaying runtime.
  • 1. I haven't seen any major issues so far, therefore, no cons for now.
  • Nothing to complain about so far. I can’t pinpoint any drawbacks.
  • So far I have yet to run into any issues using this product.
  • A small learning curve coming from simpler tools, however it is not overwhelming.
