Easiest CI/CD tool I used

  • January 22, 2020
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I use buddy daily for continuous integration and deployment at work and this tools saves us so much time. You can setup a pipeline in minutes and it has lots of support with other services like Amazon Web Service or Digital Oceans for deployment or Slack for logging and notifications.
New features are added regularly and its free for private projects or small teams (5 projects and 120 executions a month are included in the free plan).
What do you dislike about the product?
At the moment I'm totally satisfied with the features buddy provides. But if I had to be nitpicking I would like more than 120 executions per month on the free plan.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Testing, building and deployment to different servers/environment
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Go try it, its free and easy!

Dev sites are a breeze

  • January 20, 2020
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
SFTP on every repo push is a huge plus .
What do you dislike about the product?
the UI occasionally feels unresponsive .
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have had great success in using Buddy to control our staging sites. We simply push changes to our repo, and watch in amazement as our dev sites are updated. This is especially good when clients are viewing their dev sites, as we can implement their feedback and have them quick it quickly and easily.

Great automation and deployment tool for every size of company

  • January 17, 2020
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The ease of setting up automation when pushing to your repositories. The variety of destinations is amazing.
And its not only about transfer code from A to B. We can also compile and build our code in isolated container, so we dont have to do it on own device.

And along side all of this, they also support a great variety of notifications. For example Slack, Email, SMS, Push messages and many more.

The support is great and fast. You can ask about everything and you will always get answer.
What do you dislike about the product?
The billing control area was a little confusing to begin with. We had trouble managing the team and invite others in.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It helped us with automating uploads/deployments of our repositories to our servers. And it gives us and instant feedback if something goes wrong.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Go for it. Its insanely easy to use. And it will definitely help everyone working with DevOps.

Easy setup and slick design

  • January 15, 2020
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The UI/UX, it's by far the best out there! It's so easy to understand the project and the possibilities are unlimited. It's so helpful that they visualised everything. And the out-of-the-box integration will all kind of service providers are so simple te setup. It's very easy to configure any pipeline action with their predefined templates. It's just filling some variables and you have a CI/CD pipeline ready. It's very easy to see for which branch a pipeline was triggered. This is much easier than at GitLab for example.

Their support is also amazing as they responds very quick and give you a very detailed and helpful answer.

All with all would highly recommend this to anybody who is looking for a complete CI/CD tool.
What do you dislike about the product?
The price. It can become fairly expensive soon. We are one of the lucky users that still have the free on-premise version that they unfortunately don't sell anymore.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Manage all our CI/CD pipelines in a very powerful overview. Changing something to the pipeline is super simple. It's super easy for new hires to start working with this tool. The default action templates allowed us to explore cool new features to deploy our code and got us quickly rolling with atomic deployments. We never had issues with releasing anymore since we switched to Buddy.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you care about ease of use this is definitely the product you're looking for. If you want clear insight in your CI/CD configuration you should Buddy give a go.

Rather Useful and Supportive Build Tool

  • January 14, 2020
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
After using Buddy for a while I have come to find it an extremely useful build tool, it allows for me to easily push changes to my repo and know they will go through a set action plan, which will compile and test the code in the process!

Buddy Support, all be it slow sometimes, is rather helpful and they will frequently try their best to help.

Overall, if your missing SFTP Automation from a Repo, this tool is an amazing first (and maybe last) step!
What do you dislike about the product?
Some of their actions do not work as intended and sometimes actions are a little limited.

Buddy support will, however, try their best to solve your issue (after they respond).

They don't like updating actions that are already made, which can be annoying, however their actions are normally just about enough.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I have solved numerous build issues using buddy, ranging from switching over IP to localhost credentials, to building and compiling code.

The main benefit I see is that I do not have to SFTP any changes I make to a product, it does it for me, and tests it.

It also responds the text and outputs information I select into a slack channel, to add to this, you can also make internal containers in the build process!

Buddy makes deployment a breeze!

  • January 09, 2020
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Buddy is not only the easiest way to track your deploys, it also helps troubleshoot and debug any CI/CD problems you may have. It even lets you set up CRON events for all those pesky scripts that need to be run every 5 minutes. Greatly recommended, especially for larger projects. It's simple to integrate into an existing project, and easy to use even for beginners.
What do you dislike about the product?
The price may deter people from using it on small projects. There is a free option, but it's rather limited, and with a 120/month execution limit.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Buddy for integration and deployment of three separate projects that I work on. It's simple to use, even for someone who doesn't have any experience in devops at all!

Simple and reliable

  • January 08, 2020
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The pipeline building user interface is great. It's really intuitive and means I won't have to wrestle any more YAML pipline configurations
What do you dislike about the product?
After having used Buddy for a few months, I've not really got anything to dislike. Could be cheaper but the pricing seems fair enough
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Am using buddy to deploy websites. It's easier and more reliable that scripting it using other methods. After trying CircleCI and BitBucket pipelines it's refreshing to be able to setup automated deployment so easily!
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Definitely worth a go. It's super quick to get started and is really powerful

Great tool, easy to use

What do you like best about the product?
The simplicty in which you can build workflows
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing really, maybe the free tier could be more generous as running it with docker the storage size is easily full
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Quick deployments to production, without touching anything

Why you should consider Buddy Works for your next project

  • January 06, 2020
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
- Sleek and intuitive UI
- Ease of constructing pipelines via the interface, and also flexibility of translating those pipelines into code/vice versa
- Ease of integrating with external tools like Slack for proper stakeholder management
- Seamless integration with Bitbucket
- 5 free projects
What do you dislike about the product?
- Pricing. Initially was at $50 for the first level payment plan, didn't realize it's been increased to $75. Makes a tough choice for companies that have a lot of repos, and require fast builds - since this $75 tier does not provide parallel builds
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Ease of deployment. Once code is shipped, I can be rest assured that it'll only be deployed when all tests pass, and I'd be notified via Slack whether it's deployed successfully or otherwise.

Very satisfied

What do you like best about the product?
I like that I can quickly pair BitButcket with DigitalOcean. Also, customer support is good.
What do you dislike about the product?
Pricing can be a little high, but the service is good.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I now just push my changes to BitBucket and Buddy handles the rest.
