Spinnaker Review

  • August 01, 2022
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The UI is good and the canary deployment feature is the best compared to other tools in the market, Eventho Jenkins holds high in competition spinnaker is equally good.
What do you dislike about the product?
The complexity of pipeline structure and minimal usage of resources and not a great UI could be better. Also, more addon, and plugins of custom mode will be a goos improvement
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The Canary deployment is the best in the SPiannker pipeline, which solves the traffic management and zero downtime usage, and it's so productive. yes business will definitely improve a lot with this approcah

Continues deployment made easy

  • April 20, 2022
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Spinnaker is a very easy to use tool with perfect UI interface and easy setup making it a go to tool for deployment EC2 deployments and kubernetes deployment are very easy using spinnaker
What do you dislike about the product?
Their is no in built monitoring feature in spinnaker for example any of my spinnaker monitoring pod goes down the owner never gets notified which leads to loss of high availability
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Currently working on removal of manual steps to fecilitate whole deployment process with just a click. Working on building automated pipelines for trigger based deployments
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Start using spinnaker for faster deployments , start with non production requirements post that few customised changes can be made to spinnaker pods for specific use cases like deployment without creating r rpm or Debian packages etc

Don't use, consider gitlab

  • December 12, 2021
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Monitoring and deployment; once everything is set up
What do you dislike about the product?
Slow, buggy, very resource hungry, lacks some basic functionality (in ECS, no container overrides) , no much support or further development since release 1.26 in April 2021. Reported a few bugs that were closed after 90 days because of inactivity
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Continuous delivery/deployment
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I regret my investment (time-wise) in the tool. Should have used gitlab instead

Spinnaker provides me the best way to manage my CI/CD pipelines

  • November 25, 2021
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I have worked at Amazon before, and they used to have an internal CI/CD manager. At the startup I work with, Spinnaker provides really good way for me to manage the same, coming to almost at-par of what Amazon used to have internally.
The triggered deployments based on ECr is what saves the day for me.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are few key missing features as well, as far as I am aware. For example, specifically for experimentation, spinnaker can provide plugging in external resources (like a dev desktop) for a particular deployment, making sure that the load balancer also pushes the load to this,
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Primarily managing CI/CD is super easy with Spinnaker. This enables me to monitor the deployments without logging into consoles, and making sure everything is running smoothly.

A fantastic Robust Continuous Deployment System for software delivery

  • April 02, 2020
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
stability and easo of multi-cloud multi-platform deployment.
Robustness. Ease for debugging.
What do you dislike about the product?
Documentation, Community docs repo. The information is scattered and is hard to find a procedure to achieve something specific.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Deploy to Sandbox, Test, Branch, QA, Systest, Sectest, Staging and PROD hotfix quickly.
Follow a CI/CD to deploy to AWS ECS Fargate.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Join the slack community
read the docs first
read the blogs in medium
watch vids from the spinnaker summit to grasp the runtime behaviour of the system

One click deployments using Spinnaker

  • September 27, 2019
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
You can setup pipelines for different processes.. e.g. one pipeline can be configured just to release artifacts while another will pickup the released artifacts and deploy it to any domain that is configured. Each pipeline is configurable with steps that can be defined and linked to jenkins jobs that can either cut artifacts, create docker images, deploy docker images to domains etc..
What do you dislike about the product?
For manual judgement steps which need to be triggered manually, if there are multiple pipelines waiting in that phase, it is not possible to move them forward until the others are dismissed. Workflow Steps are unidirectional so there is no going back in case anything fails or needs a change.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We used to release everything manually and deploy using chef which was causing bottlenecks. We wanted to do a one click deployment functionality which are fast and do not require constant supervision.

Spinnaker among other delivery platforms

  • March 20, 2019
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
It supports incremental deployments and supports “green/blue” deployments which are crucial in Agile methodology. Due to cloud deployments, it is easy to manage and configure deployment pipelines.
The best part is easy creation and adjustment of deployment pipelines using a GUI interface.
What do you dislike about the product?
It does not have plugins options like in Jenkins which makes it hard to work with. Secondly, It is not comfortable in managing SCM, thirdly, we sometimes struggle in running tests and building packages. Spinnaker API is more popular than the Spinnaker pipeline to deploy to AWS.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Initially, it was difficult in the client environment to deploy anything as lots of process needs to be followed, but by CI CD, and using Spinnaker deployments are smooth, more than 200+ deployments have been completed in last 6 months. The project is on track and will finish sooner than expected.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Spinnaker helps in deploying a cloud-based delivery model. It makes easier due to application, cluster, and server groups understanding. Overall, it is still grooming and hopefully, Netflix will provide more changes to it.
Nonetheless, it is still an amazing product to try out.

Solving our cloud hosting issues and helping integrate software
