Buddy – Bewertungsseite 3

Vorteile

Lightning fast
Extremely flexible - you can basically create any pipeline you can dream of

Nachteile

Support can be a bit sluggish due to time zone issues and the capability of the first responders in chat.

Vorteile

It was easy to get up and running within a couple of days. So far it has been able to handle 90%+ things we've tried to do.

Nachteile

I think the recent pricing change to focusing on GB/min means its more comparable to Github Actions and other systems. This means its easier to compare apples to apples. Previously Buddy was in a league of their own.

Vorteile

I like that we are easily able to use Buddy for all of the applications across our stack. We have apps on multiple servers and in multiple languages. The GUI is extremely easy and much faster than typing yaml files, but if you'd like to type your CI, they offer an easy import/export tool.

Nachteile

It's hard to think about what I don't like about Buddy, but if anything I suppose it would be that their atomic deployments are a little challenging to use.

Vorteile

This is ridiculously easy to use and build very complex pipelines for CI deployments. It has saved huge amounts of dev ops time for use and allows for some quite niche commands to run when we trigger deployments.

Nachteile

Nothing really, I think the price points are very fair for the time it saves, they have a good response rate to support requests and are helpful.

Vorteile

One of the key parts I like the most is the ability to duplicate actions from one pipeline and move them over to another one, which was key in reducing the time to deploy for some of our earlier automation flows.

Nachteile

The handling of environment variables - have had to resort to particularly strenuous workarounds for us to have our environment variables shared between pipelines, actions and projects.

Vorteile

It is a great way to handle our deployments while it remains simple and easy to use. Even more importantly when it came to stepping up a level and starting working with ansistrano and much more advanced deployment systems it stood its ground.

Nachteile

Literally nothing, it's a great piece of software.

Vorteile

How easy it is to set up new project pipelines and connect to new servers

Nachteile

I don't really have any cons at the moment. The free tier was enough to trial the software and we've upgraded to allow more project pipelines. We love how transparent it has made our deploy process and it connects to pretty much everything we need!

Vorteile

Very easy to use. Very powerful. I like everything about it.

Nachteile

No mobile app. No public repositories. No easy way to preload repositories with software IE: it would be great if I could start a new repo with WordPress pre-installed.

Vorteile

That it seems like it was fairly easy for the admin to set up and get us running test instance deployments on. It has not gone down to my knowledge and we were having issues with that on our old deployment manager.

Nachteile

The admin is trying to set it up so that we can use our tags/branch names instead of having to know the commit hash. Pretty sure it would be possible, but that is not as easy to use.
Also the first time using it, the "Run Now" button made it appear as though I was starting the deploy, but I wasn't sure where it was going to.

Vorteile

- Sexy UI
- Works beautifully
- Less stress and time spent on deployments

Nachteile

A few UI quirks here and there, but that's not really a con.

Gründe für den Wechsel zu Buddy

Vorteile

We like how easy it is to add new pipelines, and monitor build processes.

Nachteile

Unsupported to generate iOS apps, so you need to subscribe to another service to do this

Gründe für den Wechsel zu Buddy

Vorteile

- The interface is so easy to use.
- Lots of tools available to build site code and deploy with lots of techniques.
- We are using for .Net, WordPress, Drupal, and Magento.

Nachteile

- Price is so high but it provides that level of service.

Vorteile

The setup was straight and configuring actions and webhooks was pretty straight forward

Nachteile

I am still looking for an easy of auto deploying to like digitalocean or Azure from buddy

Vorteile

- Incredibly easy to use
- Hooks up with Github to make setup simple
- Fast interface
- Billions of integrations!

Nachteile

The interface makes use of keyboard shortcuts which can be a bit annoying at times when using things like the escape key to cancel an OS autocorrect suggestion. But once you know that, you know how to avoid it.

Vorteile

- Ease of use
- Customer Service
- Design User-experience

Nachteile

Nothing comes to mind so far.
Sometimes the more advanced features are buried.

Vorteile

Buddy was easy to setup and training to our employees was quite easy, we are slowly adding all our existing solutions to buddy and felt like the process was quite easy.

Nachteile

Missing some small functionality specific to Azure, but after talking with support seems to be something that is on the pipeline for buddy

Vorteile

Buddy saved me countless hours of server work by allowing something simple: deploy a Github repository to a server, via FTP.

Simple but I have spent hours researching about quick solutions for this until I found Buddy, and it works! The interface is beautiful and simple and in a few clicks you can deploy your Github repositories without much further do, few clicks and you are done. No more FTP cowboy coding for our team.

i have used the simplest of their deployment scenarios but I am sure the tool can do much more.

Nachteile

Maybe the cost is a bit prohibitive if you are a freelancer or small agency. And maybe it's no widely use enough but I didn't really find extensive documentation or tutorials for the tool. Looking forward for more.

Vorteile

It easily integrates with many of the tools we use, and saves us a lot of time. As a secondary benefits, it helps our clients feel more comfortable as we can have deliverables more often for them.

Nachteile

For some of our clients it would be easier to have a more expanded free tier so they are more comfortable using the product earlier on once they have to get their own buddy account.

Vorteile

Super easy. Even limited technical persons can use this.

Nachteile

Honestly, I cannot think of anything I don't like

Vorteile

I like the concept of pipelines. As i am a quality assurance engineer so i integrated the pipeline of my automated test cases with the pipeline of the app. So when the pipeline of app is executed it also automatically executes my test cases.

Nachteile

it shows overall that the pipeline is passed but it do not shows that some of the executions were failed.

Vorteile

The whole idea of building pipelines with easy-to-use GUI.
The wide collection of integration with other services make it the ideal selection

Nachteile

The price is kind of high for me as I don't have a team nor have any financial support, as I'm working in a non-profit org.

Vorteile

The GUI is super easy to use and is very teachable.

Nachteile

I haven't had any issues as a user. overall impressive.

Vorteile

Buddy saved me a ton of time. The simplicity of configuration is impressive. Buddy is a must-have tool for all software development companies. We love U!

Nachteile

I even tried hard, but the reality is that I find nothing that is negative ...

Vorteile

* free plan
* beautiful UI
* easy to use
* Multiple pipelines per project

Nachteile

As a user and not an admin I didn't really encounter any cons.

Vorteile

- easy to use
- beautiful interface
- highly customizable
- great support
- fair pricing

Nachteile

Nothing, really. It's a very high-quality service.

Vorteile

I'm fairly new to devops. But Buddy makes it extremely easy to setup with their visual pipeline/workflows and deploy your app.

Nachteile

I feel the support can be improved. They're really responsive on Intercom, but usually need to send your request to the developer team to get an answer.

Vorteile

It's super easy to use without any compromise on complexity.

Nachteile

Sometimes it slows down but it's not that big of a deal.

Vorteile

Buddy's UI is the most intuitive of any CI/CD tool that I've tried. It's simple to set up new projects and pipelines without needing to add a configuration file. Sharing projects is straightforward as well. I have personal experience with Jenkins, Semaphore, CircleCI, Bitbucket Pipelines, DeployBot, and DeployHQ (and perhaps others); Buddy is the best by far.

Nachteile

Their paid tiers are pretty expensive, but their free tier is quite generous and has met my needs so far. I haven't tried it, but apparently you can spin up a Buddy droplet on Digital Ocean for $5 per month, which is a great option.

Vorteile

The simplicity of Buddy is so cool - everything is in place and you can navigate easily.

Nachteile

There is nothing until now which I dont like.

Vorteile

Integrations with AWS, Node are easy to setup to achieve custom workflows

Nachteile

It takes time to understand how sharing project with people works.

Vorteile

Easy to setup
Large range of options
GUI design is really intuitive

Nachteile

I can't think of anything yet, I had some trouble with the Node Actions but turns out it was me not using it the right way. The documentation really helped me.

Vorteile

Ease of use, intuitive UI and easy to start with.

Nachteile

No support to run actions on multiple server but this makes sense.

Vorteile

- Very Fast
- Very Intuitive UI
- Can configure to be as simple or as complicated deployments as possible

Nachteile

- not much really
- If I were to nitpick, I would like a little more freedom to organize the pipeline views

Vorteile

The easy of use of Buddy is quite incredible.
It lets you create flows with anything that exists and its big strength is that you can customize almost everything!

Nachteile

Maybe the taint of blue that has been used... ^^

Vorteile

Buddy really makes it easy to setup your pipelines. There are lots of different options for your actions and the documentation is thorough and easy to follow. All in all a great user experience, easy to use with lots of powerful features.

Nachteile

For long running pipelines the execution times sometimes vary quite significantly.

Vorteile

Ability to run commands after deploys, like do: migrate fez: sweep on rails apps.
Notifications on slack or other channels for all success/fail/recoveries
Integration with git and ability to create complex deployment actions per commit.

Vorteile

I enjoy the easy to use interface when setting up actions. I also enjoy how easy it intergrates with shopify

Nachteile

Sometimes saving settings are a bit buggy.

Vorteile

Very simple to use, full of integrations and tools

Nachteile

I use it every day and have not found any against

Vorteile

Very easy to use - no need for config files.
Has lots of integrations with things like Slack and AWS
Sandboxes are a useful added bonus

Nachteile

Sometimes there are issues with memory limits when running tests

Vorteile

- simple
- intuitive
- great ui
- features are delivered all the time

Nachteile

- down times
- slow response on customer support

Vorteile

The approval process. This prevents us from pushing content that shouldn't be pushed.

Nachteile

We haven't been able to get a couple flows to work the way we had hoped.

Vorteile

It's easy to set up logical flows which also are to read and understand in the UI.

Nachteile

Nothing special to be honest. seems to support most stuff.

Vorteile

Pipeline deployment was easy, easy to explain to laymen how a pipe works!

Nachteile

The cost ends up being a little high, but due to the features, it pays off a lot!

Vorteile

I really liked its super simple setup yet so powerful!

Nachteile

On demand paid service would be great extend!

Vorteile

It combines pure simplicity with such a wide range of integrations that flexibility is endless.
Few software solutions combine both elements so well.

Nachteile

Not yet found anything bad to dislike in this.

Vorteile

Really easy to set up, been using for a white without any issues

Nachteile

Not really much to dislike about the software. It's really good!

Vorteile

The web interface for editing scripts and setting branches for pipelines. No need to deploy to switch branch on the test server pipeline.

Nachteile

It looses some configurability with the web interface.

Vorteile

Ease of use, after years of Jenkins, GitHub, GitLab and CircleCI I am amazed just how everything is accessible for a web developer. It was super easy to setup the pipeline, have easy access to logs, great speed...

Nachteile

User management could be improved. I'd like to have colleagues that are able just to view or run but not to edit.

Vorteile

It's so easy to use compared to other products

Nachteile

Nothing, all is well here. Everything is simple to use with great support

Vorteile

ui friendly and developer like to use buddy if compared with another

Nachteile

the application is easy to use, only we need pay for each user
