Avaliações do Buddy

Great tool fo CI/CD

Comentários: This is a great choice for continuous integration and continuous delivery for small teams and developers.

Vantagens:

The Buddy interface is comfortable. Pipelines configuration is easy. You can customize pipelines in the UI or in YAML files.

Desvantagens:

Occasionally, there are problems with the cache, and I must run the pipeline one more time with cache clearing.

Very intuitive interface but very expensive

Comentários: For me, Buddy should create a specific Plan for the people who wants ONLY the continus deployment functionnality without any complexity, or just decrease the Pro plan price, if it becomes €5 per month I will switch all my projects on it, or maybe €2 per project per month?

Vantagens:

Very intuitive UI/UX and the free account possibility

Desvantagens:

The pricing is very very very expensive. Pro plan is about €29 / month, even my VPS does not cost this price 😅

Effortless Deployments with a Beautiful UI

Vantagens:

Buddy makes deployments a breeze! The UI is beautiful and intuitive, configurations are easy yet comprehensive, and deployments are incredibly fast. Customer support is responsive and helpful, making the overall experience seamless.

Desvantagens:

The pricing model being based on the number of users feels limiting, especially for smaller teams or businesses with fluctuating team sizes.

This is a toy that you can use for a hobby project

Comentários: Absolutely avoid. Spent last year trying to make it work and now the cost of keeping it alive is just too big so swapping as we speak. Last response from support I had... oh wait, I didn't have any.

Vantagens:

WHEN it works, it has a few good features. It allows you to a basic CI/CD for a small projects, that's about it.

Desvantagens:

There's about 2h a day their support works, you have to wait for hours to get any response. And once you do 99% of those responses are "not our fault, try removing all projects, all integrations and try again". On the top of that anything more complex that "hello world" runs out of their apparent 2CPU 2GB deployment server. Want more resources? Wait for 24h until dev team has this 2h of work somewhere in India.

Just try it, you will love it!

Comentários: I have used many DevOps platforms in business ranging from small startups to massive global companies and Buddy is my personal favorite. It is simply a nice product to use and you have far more "oh awesome" moments then "$@!?$" moments then with any other tools.

Vantagens:

Buddy is elegant. It has the ability to do complicated things in simple intuitive ways. The combination of being able to hybrid YAML and GUI is a great example. You can use the intuitive GUI to quickly build out your pipelines and then bring it under source control with a couple of clicks. The GUI still works for read only making it easily accessible to less pipeline technical folks while also giving those maintaining the pipeline all the benefits of "as code".

Desvantagens:

The dedicated number of workers and price per work is a shame in a cloud world. Would be neat if it was just based on compute hours etc. but maybe with some kind of fair usage policy for concurrency

One of the easiest ways to build and learn CI/CD

Comentários: I have realized the easy to use CI pipeline I've created to save a lot of time deploying my app to a production environment. I was first exposed to CI/CD in general through my role as a Web Developer and used Buddy as my first pipeline builder. The experience was so enlightening that I'm now using it in my personal project to deliver updates to my application in a sophisticated manner. This allows me to spend more time code and strategizing versus the rudimentary manual process I'm used to.

Vantagens:

I like Buddy for the ease of use when you are a budding developer looking to learn CI/CD practices.

Desvantagens:

If you're an entry to mid level developer, I feel there is an initial learning curve to learning CI/CD in general. The documentation is satisfactory but it would be improved if each section or sub-section had a "You should know this before reading" bit in the first part of the article. That way a self-taught learner can establish the connection between Buddy and the rest of their stack by understanding key elements that necessitate the use of Buddy or how they are best augmented by what Buddy can do.

Buddy is easy to use and looks great!

Comentários: Have used Buddy in several of my roles and would highly recommend it to teams.

Vantagens:

Buddy has a clean user interface which makes it easy to use. The builds are fast and notifications come quickly!

Desvantagens:

Honestly there's nothing I dislike about Buddy!

Deployment Wizards

Vantagens:

Buddy made it incredibly easy to deploy our website.

Desvantagens:

Some of the frequent UI changes made the site difficult to navigate.

Highly recommend for CI/CD integrations

Vantagens:

Once Click deployment and visibility of each step

Desvantagens:

I can't open github link directly from the buddy

Boost Your Deployment Efficiency with Buddy.Works

Comentários: Buddy.Works is a game-changer for CI/CD enthusiasts. Its intuitive interface and powerful automation tools make setting up pipelines a breeze. With lightning-fast builds, seamless integrations, and top-notch customer support, Buddy.Works transforms complex workflows into a smooth, efficient process. Highly recommended for development teams aiming to streamline their deployment practices!

Vantagens:

I like the automation. It offers an easy interface that is easy to understand clearly. The most important thing is their support and they offer free plans too 😊

Desvantagens:

So far I didn't have any that could hit me tell any negative words

The underdog of CI/CD

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

Vantagens:

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.

Desvantagens:

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 & Beautiful UI

Comentários: Buddy is the easiest CI/CD solution I could find.

Vantagens:

The interface is very intuitive and easy to use. With a few clicks you can create a deployment pipeline easily. There is a lot of built-in actions that connect with many services. Even if when we can't find what we need, its integration with Docker Hub is really helpful so we can setup our own custom Docker image. As it works on docker, it is easy to install and manage.

Desvantagens:

User administration is sometimes confusing. When there are new users, they may not be able to access some old projects even if they have been added to the group that have access to this project and must be authorized individually.

Easy to build automatisation

Comentários: i like it. i build pipeline with github to automate push to staging and live

Vantagens:

easy automatisation of pipelines and good overview

Desvantagens:

at the moment there is nothing that i would like to do better

I create pipelines easily

Vantagens:

Good UX and it's very easy to use. We've tried various similar tools, but so far, BuddyWorks is the best.

Desvantagens:

The only drawback is that for some features, you need to have an advanced version

Great CI tool

Vantagens:

Easy to use, simple, powerful and intuitive UX.

Desvantagens:

Documentation could be more in depth in some areas, it is a bit of a learning curve at first.

Best product for CI/CD

Comentários: Wonderful

Vantagens:

The easy way we can set-up a pipeline to deploy products (api, smartphone apps, website)It take 10x less time than on other platforms

Desvantagens:

The price and the lack of visibility about account consumption

Easy to use, and secure

Comentários: Overall I would recommend Buddy to any developers.

Vantagens:

Using Buddy for web deployment process made my working life so much better. Once set up, it's very easy to use and given me so much piece of mind.

Desvantagens:

Most of the time, it works great, but when there's an error happening, it could get tricky to resolve the issue.

Good job!

Vantagens:

Buddy.works is an important tool for our deployment!

Desvantagens:

The navigation is sometimes not self-explaining. Change the owner of the workspace you can find unter "Billing".

Easy to use without sacrificing features

Comentários: 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.

Vantagens:

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.

Desvantagens:

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.

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

Vantagens:

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.

Desvantagens:

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

Buddy is great

Comentários: Our favorite CI / CD service became the Buddy platform with a modern interface, conceptual innovations, and live assistance.
Be it Azure, AWS, K8s, Python, Java, PHP, FTP, SSH, Slack, SMS... the platform didn't let us down

Vantagens:

The most we like: simple to use, friendly and modern UI. We might not be a big company using a ton of architecture, but we've found solutions in Buddy to all our deployment related tasks.

Desvantagens:

They are having hard time keeping all the documentation up to date.

Great deployment platform for all our needs

Vantagens:

With Buddy I was able to consolidate my deployment tools, and save money. The platform is super intuitive and more powerful than what we were using previously.

Desvantagens:

A couple years ago my team uncovered a small issue with one of the deployment actions, but after working with Buddy's support team they resolved the problem!

Excellent!

Comentários: Buddy has helped our team tremendously in making us able to collaborate on site development.

Vantagens:

ease of use, efficiency, accessibility, and design.

Desvantagens:

learning curve, there are still some features that I am discovering through use - would be nice to have courses on quickly setting up all the applications of Buddy

The simplest CI and Automation tool I ever experienced

Comentários: Buddy was the first CI/CD tool that satisfied all of our needs while being extremely simple to use. It was easy to get up and running with our monorepo and custom triggers with webhooks. Buddy provided solid support for multiple programming languages, Google Cloud, Kubernetes and HTTP Endpoints. It is a joy to build pipelines with Buddy! 🚀

Vantagens:

It provides very intuitive workflows and actions that are customizable for all kinds of needs.

Desvantagens:

You pay for a machine the whole month even if you aren't using it. I would prefer a serverless model like with Google Cloud Build or GitHub Actions, where you only pay for the minutes the machine is running.

The simplest and probably the most complete solution for deploying your projects to servers.

Comentários: Great, Buddy has made it easy to build a complex deployment process that is version controlled and easy to manage in forked projects.

Vantagens:

A huge library of integrations, predefined build processes and actions yml. This platform is allowing us to slowly automate our entire development pipeline, testing through to deployment.

Desvantagens:

The price point makes it hard to take the leap onto the platform, while it is without a doubt worth it, it was a barrier that put us off for some time. Also, the limit on concurrent deployments (which is tied to your pricing tier) means sometimes your project deployments can stack up. We manage a forked repository system where our client projects inherit updates from a central repository, this can mean a significant number of projects are all queued for deployment at one time and then nothing for days.
