"Great Tool to work "

Pros: It took very less time to setup the tool and cluster , and the ease of usability is superb. UI empowers a company to manage all deployments , monitoring stats and centralize logs manage very smoothly. the plus point is you can control all this for separate set of users for separate environments, production access remains restricted to defined users

Cons: Integration of application performance monitoring would be a great added features to this.

Thanks Mr Amit Pundir for your positive words!! Coming directly from an existing customer of the Product is a huge validation and encouragement for us.

As an outcome of your feedback, BuildPiper has open source APM integrated in the product now. Looking forward to work with Adda247 team!!

"ABCD (Any body can deploy)"

Overall: The best experience I had after using Jenkins, configure approvals based on pipeline, auto raise jira tickets, rollback to last stable branch in case of any failure. So life is easy now, and productive too.

Pros: The UI for deployment of any microservice was really very friendly. Never struggled with the confusion of services and process. And the support from their team was really good, were helping us to guide for each and every step very calmly. Also integration with the microservices were pretty easy, and standardised implementation for all our services. Not just deployment, it had a lot of usages like real-time logs, detection of service up or restarting etc.

Cons: Suppose a user is deploying his microservice, but at same time other user deploys his branch/changes on same microservice, at least there should be a notification to the user who did last deployment as that was creating confusion. Everyone has their own creds mapped to email, they could have introduced a desktop notification or something to avoid users always checking if anyone else is deploying or not

Switched From: Jenkins X and Jenkins
Reasons for Switching to BuildPiper: For better productivity and ease of UI and follow CI/CD. And easy to use for all users, a little training was just required.

"BP review"

Overall: I think It is good product overall. so far, I don't any major issue as such. rather have lots of convinient features which I really quite liked

Pros: managing different environment of service is better than other product I have used. It has better logging and debuging.

Cons: I think for new user It is not very intuitive to use the software. user might need some tutorial and KT. so, user interactive experience can be improved

"A good middle segment priced CI/CD platform"

Overall: So far the experience has been good in terms of managing CI/CD on the kubernetes

Pros: - Easy to setup and manage- Interactive UI and simple to Build/Deploy the applications- Cost effective in terms of infrastructure

Cons: -Stability of the software- Uptime of the celery workers - More customisability should be implemented . Such as being able to see and edit the manifest that is going to be applied on the cluster and add more kubernetes manifest files into that

"Great product & concept, needs a bit more stability"

Overall: It perfectly fits the organizations who are moving towards containerization and kubernetes. Better control over the complexity of K8s and presented in organised constructs of build , deploy and CI steps. Seems impressive in terms of future extensibility and integrations.

Pros: Ease of configuration management across multiple environments. Added features are pretty useful like downtime scheduler, integrations & pipelines.

Cons: Version and release management of BP software could have been better and stable

Reasons for Choosing BuildPiper: Pricing and practical functionality. Great responsive platform team.

Thanks Mr Vibhore Bajpai for your valuable feedback !! In fact one of our core principles behind this platform was to enable the 'Shift Left' mindset and reduce dependencies on the DevOps roles for deployments Great to see that the ease of micro services deployment functionality came in handy for you in your role as the lead developer at Sim Sim! We look forward to continually enabling your teams for seamless builds and deployment in addition to leveraging other functionality pillars of our Micro services delivery platform.

"Better UI for application deployment"

Overall: Buildpiper is a good tool. We got a very good support for it whenever it is required.

Pros: UI is improved, new application integration is easy.

Cons: Logs display could be improved just like console. Different colors could be added for warnings and errors.

Reasons for Switching to BuildPiper: We found faster deployment and easy to use because of improved UI. Application onboarding and promotion is very easy.
