    Best macOS machines for CI/CD integrations

    Reviewed on May 27, 2024
    Review provided by G2
    What do you like best about the product?
    What's best, in my opinion, about MacStadium is the easiness of use and a wide choice of different mac machines from mac minis to mac studios while also being able to customize the storage and the CPU.
    It also offers a very good and useful set of documentation.
    What do you dislike about the product?
    The first thing that comes to mind is the elevated price compare to other cloud machines provider and the lack of a true scalable solution. There is no way to automatically change/upgrade the machine.
    What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
    MacStadium is helping us hosting our CI/CD integration system. This means that we can easily automate our testing suite and our deploying logic for software that requires macOS.

    What do you like best about the product?
    Mac Stadium offers the ability to set up Apple servers and VMs with a simple interface.
