Buddy

Makes it ridiculously easy to build and maintain complex CI/CD pipelines

Hyvät puolet:

The unique and intuitive way we can interact with it. It is a complete platform that's also very simple to use, so simple that setting up any new pipeline usually takes ten minutes tops. At our company, we use multiple Buddy actions, such as: File transferring (SFTP), performing Status Checks for CR, building and pushing Docker images, establishing containerized environment for tests and setting up K8s deployment images. And we are pretty happy with our overall experience with Buddy.

Huonot puolet:

Price, maybe? IIRC, it's a little more expensive than alternatives but I think it's worth it in the end.

The underdog of CI/CD

Kommentit: Fantastic product, support is top-notch. Definately wouldn't consider going anywhere else.

Hyvät puolet:

Buddy introduces a very easy to use GUI, rather than composing the YAML file manually. I really like how you can see the progress through the steps, when running a pipeline. This also is worth its weight in gold when it comes to debugging a step or process.

Huonot puolet:

I do feel like the paid plans could be more flexible, maybe add the ability to mix add-ons to plans. For example, adding more projects to a plan or more minutes to allowance. I am pretty frugal and don't like to pay for something if I don't have to. However this is definately worth the investment.

Easy to use without sacrificing features

Kommentit: We are currently migrating a lot of old delivery services that were missing pipeline support, and on the projects we have moved we have saved a lot of time and money when we don't have to handle merge conflicts on files that should be built on deployment anyway.

Hyvät puolet:

I love that it's easy to set up our pipelines, but it's also easy to understand how the pipelines are set up so teaching my colleagues on how to use this has been just as simple.

Huonot puolet:

None at this moment, there are times when you wish an action were available but the ones I was thinking about have already been implemented.

Best CI on Cloud platform.

Kommentit: Overall its a great tool to integrate CI and since everything is connected very well, it can do magic during the complex deployment process.

Hyvät puolet:

Its very easy to set it up and get it going. My favourite is the UI.

Huonot puolet:

There is no proper documentation or training videos on this tool. Though its easy to setup some part of it, sometimes its really hard to find the help and configure something custom.

Buddy is the best deployment tool

Kommentit: I really love this product it makes my life easy.

Hyvät puolet:

I like a lot the easy way to configure projects and create pipelines to deploy my application in different environments.

Huonot puolet:

I think they should create most documentation.
