### "A great tool for automated deployment"

December 18, 2019

5.0

Pros

One of the main reasons for switching over to Buddy from other tools was the UI and the powerful customisation it offers

Cons

Some of the setup of repeat tasks can be a bit laborious, but it is a minor criticism.

### "A powerful and easy-to-use CI/CD platform"

September 15, 2023

4.0

Pros

One of the biggest advantages of Buddy is its ease of use. The drag-and-drop interface makes it easy to create and manage pipelines, even for users with no prior experience with CI/CD. Buddy also offers a wide range of pre-built actions and integrations, which can save teams a lot of time and effort.

Cons

A disadvantage of Buddy is that some features are only available on paid plans. For example, the ability to trigger pipelines from external sources, such as webhooks, is only available on paid plans.

### "Great CI/CD Tool"

December 22, 2019

5.0

Pros

I liked the graphical user interface and how easy it was to set up new actions in a pipeline or even re-deploy a previous commit.

Cons

There were a few things I didn't like to begin with but I can't remember them at the moment.

### "Easy to use, powerful, and reliable"

December 20, 2016

5.0

Buddy never let me down. I use it with my regular continuous development and automation tasks. It's interface is simple to use, and much much much usable than configuring that rusted Jenkins server. You can create an execution pipeline in the matter of minutes and get up and run. I love it, and totally recommend it!

### "Helpful and easy to use tool"

December 9, 2019

4.0

Pros

One of the most advantages of this software is usability and user experience. It's really easy to use and when I started to work with this tool for the first time, I could use that without any problem.

Cons

I'm not using this tool too often, but so far I think it exactly what I thought and can't tell any special thing for this question.

### "My favourite is the UI."

October 8, 2021

5.0

Pros

Buddy looks really stylish, easy to use, and quite impressive, I highly recommend it.

### "Great tool for nontechnical users"

December 9, 2019

5.0

I got to know this platform about three months ago and had a really good experience. Before that, I had to work with the Gitlab pipelines, which were really hard to write and debug. Thanks, Buddy

Pros

\* easiness \* user-friendliness \* the free plan

Cons

nothing, just maybe more free options could be great for small teams before lunching their app

### "Great tool, even if you don't like server-side work"

December 10, 2019

5.0

Pros

\+ very low entry threshold + lots of pre-configured integrations + nice action-based approach + lovely UI + even in the free plan it's useful

Cons

I don't want to blandish, but nothing comes to my mind after this few months of using it (but I was not very into the more advanced configurations)

### "The Easiest CI/CD Pipeline Tool"

March 2, 2023

5.0

Very good indeed, but the most expensive service I pay for in my personal development process.

Pros

Incredibly easy to set up and configure compared to competitors.

Cons

The pricing is all or nothing. An intermediary price for testing and/or personal work would be ideal, somewhere around the half way mark to the pro monthly.

Reason for choosing Buddy

Ease of use.

August 8, 2022

5.0

Pros

I'm a new user. But when I got that Buddy makes my life easier with continuous deployment, I feel better and confident about my process.

Cons

Maybe related to my less experience with Buddy, it was a bit hard to set it up at the beginning.

Pros

They have pretty much anything you need implemented. And it's super cheap monthly.

\- Intuitive user interface; - Native Docker Support; - .NET Core Support;

### "Up to date with tech"

May 25, 2019

5.0

I'm able to built almost any idea into pipelines!

Pros

Flexibility for developers (Docker). Easy to use. Cache. Buddy allows developers to build flexible pipelines that just works. They can also experiment with possible new pipelines. Features like cache, multiple pipelines, etc.

Cons

Is just the Docker idea, but still limited in some areas. docker-compose missing.

### "Ease of Use especially for a DevOPs newbie"

December 11, 2019

4.0

Our deployment process is now a simplified task of just tagging a release branch. Really made developers life easy.

Pros

It was very intuitive for a newbie like me into the DevOps world. I worked with several IT companies and never really had experience with DevOps as we have a dedicated team for that so quite surprised that doing implementations was easy with Buddy.

Cons

Uploading a profile photo is not working. Non-essential though.

### "Easy to use automation service "

August 3, 2022

4.0

Pros

It's easy to comprehend what is running and why. The overall number and quality of integrations allows for basically any automation to come to live.

Cons

The design of the web interface is obviously subject to personal taste but I would at least prefer an optional darker theme.

### "CI/CD without the need to learn a secondary language"

December 9, 2019

5.0

Solved a simple yet effective CI/CD pipeline. Our needs are basic, but I feel confident that Buddy will stay even as we grow.

Pros

Ease of use and time to actual usage. No need to read documentation, just getting the work done.

Cons

Might miss some integrations, or some integrations that weren't really up to speed with the average.

### "Great CI/CD Service"

December 15, 2016

5.0

We are ExpandTheRoom, a small design and development agency in NYC. We work on a myriad of client projects and are always looking for ways to improve efficiency and our development process. One of the key areas we look to save time is deployments. We've tried various services for CI/CD and have found Buddy to be the best so far. It is powerful when you need it to be but also works for simply building some assets and SFTP'ing them over to a shared server. The interface is beautiful and intuitive and the features they add monthly are always spot on. The amount of IAAS products it works with is amazing.

Pros

The power and flexibility.

Cons

Nothing yet.
