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

" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 December 4, 2024 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. Pros 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". Cons 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 Switched from [CircleCI](https://www.capterra.com/p/150380/CircleCI/) Better overall product with more features we required Alternatives considered [Buildkite](https://www.capterra.com/p/218862/Buildkite/) Reasons for choosing Buddy The usability of buddy was far superior and it had richer features.

Pros Very intuitive UI/UX and the free account possibility Cons The pricing is very very very expensive. Pro plan is about €29 / month, even my VPS does not cost this price 😅 Switched from [GitHub](https://www.capterra.com/p/129067/GitHub/) No any UI on GitHub, I don't want to code for these things Review source Non-incentivized review: any software user can leave a review for any product listed on our site.
