Buddy Reviews

The BuddyCI definitely is a solid tool to use and so easy to set up, and I am always feeling it has so much more potential than the way I am currently using it, can't wait to see more intro, how-to, or hands-on articles/videos or webinars.

The UI is super user friendly, to setup projects is super easy, after we did some POCs, we decide migrated existed projects from Jenkins to BuddyCI immediately.

If there are more tutorials or how-to articles on the site would be super helpful.
To my knowledge so far, I could not find a way to see what is the pass/failure rate for all pipelines/projects, the reporting is not very helpful by just displaying runtime.

Simple to use.. I like the system interface of Buddy Works. Easy to configure CI/CD pipeline for deployment.

Simple and Nice Buddy Works UI. I like simple feature just want to get auto deployment done within 15 minutes.

Hard to navigate back to main pipeline interface after navigated the error logging. this system flow can be enhanced.

Buddy has been great so far and we recommend it to anyone as it allows us to allocate more time to higher priority tasks.

Easy deployment and easy tracking, for every deployment release. has been a true game-changer for us ever since the integration.

Nothing to complain about so far. I can’t pinpoint any drawbacks.

Overall, it's been a good experience. The product has been easy to use and communication has been good from the team. Look forward to use Buddy more.

Buddy has been fantastic for continuous deployment of a shopping cart application. Previously I would have done this with an FTP client where it would have been difficult to track but Buddy makes it.

I have not had any disadvantages of using the product so far.

I never had a background in DevOps, but I can set up everything I need to roll up my app with all the tools I need using Buddy.

Extremely easy to use.
I created two pipelines using distinct technologies, Kubernetes + .NET and Node + FTP server and everything was working in less than 1 hour.
As a free user, you can use all the tools they provide even for enterprise users.

As a free user, you can use 1GB of ram per run, so maybe you will need to change some settings on your build process to fit this limit.

I'm still pretty new to using buddy, but everything I've seen so far has been great. The user interface really stands out among other similar solutions.

- Great user interface. Features very discoverable
- Fantastic caching functionality:
One of the things I missed when moving away from jenkins to other CI/CD providers was that there was no persistent filesystem between runs, meaning one has to re-download docker images/node packages etc. each time. Other CI/CD providers have their own caching solutions which you can configure, but with Buddy the cache just works for many things without any configuration, because the persistent filesystem means that e.g. docker remote image/build caching can do its magic.
- Analytics functionality for build time is cool. There are lots of nice surprises like this

- Really nitpicking but would be nice if analytics went further back than 2 weeks

We were looking for a no-frills way to set up a basic CI/CD pipeline for a proof of concept. Had used Jenkins, CircleCI, and a couple of alternatives before. Was pleasantly surprised at how easy and quick it was to have a basic bare-bones pipeline up and running with Buddy. We hope to continue and growing our use of it.

- Quick first setup
- Easy to learn
- Just works
- Easy to troubleshoot, add more steps, and collaborate

We are only using it for a small project so we haven't tested the limits of the platform. For our use, we haven't had any major issues yet.

Great experience overall. I am new to CI/CD and Buddy was so intuitive to use and made my pipeline maintenance a great experience.

Easy to use GUI with tonnes of options. The pipelines are very easy to maintain with Buddy. Easy integration with GitHub.

So far I have yet to run into any issues using this product.

Buddy has made my life easier as a developer who does both development and system administration. I can do all our testing, deployment and custom calls from the same place with a modern interface. We are very happy.

Huge amount of customization possible. The solution we came from was very simple and we outgrew it's capabilities, with Buddy it does not seem possible. It supports a huge library of functionality that made our deployment setup a breeze.

Great support, always answers quickly and actually contacts their developers for clarification if tech support is unable to answer your question.

A small learning curve coming from simpler tools, however it is not overwhelming.

Overall, I am very satisfied with Buddy. It simplifies my deploying process in a great way and is easy to use at the same time. Definitely would recommend!

I use Buddy to automatically deploy our GitHub Repositories to our web server. The setup process went absolutely flawless and since then in works like a charm.

I am using Buddy for quite a while now, but I have nothing to complain about so far.

The overall experience to use Buddy has been great so far, the interface is simple yet fulfilling the needs.

Easy deployment and easy tracking, for every deployment release. We can easily see the log and everything, especially the percentage to indicate the deployment process which is something very insightful.

So far everything is easy and simple to use. Nothing to complain about.

I work at a SaaS company that uses Buddy for auto-deployment, it makes development easier for us because we don't have to worry about deploying.

1. Makes deployment a breeze.
2. One-time setup and now as soon as the PR merges into develop or master it auto deploys.

1. I haven't seen any major issues so far, therefore, no cons for now.

Started to use it for first time couple of months ago as a part of a team and got in workflow instantly.

Ease of use.
Good UI self explanatory so it's really easy to get in to.
Love how good Pipelines works with GitHub.

So far no cons and I use it daily for couple of months.

Integration software and continuous delivery for Git is perfect in all points and does not disappoint in terms of performance and speed of deploy.

Buddy is a continuous delivery system that in addition to integrating with several versioning tools (GitHub, GitLab, etc.), allows you to distribute your application in a variety of cloud computing services (AWS, Heroku, Your Own VPS, FTP, etc. ), allows you to configure multiple pipelines in the same project.

Since I started using Buddy's tools and pipelines, the servant has met all my requirements.

I am happy to deploy apps with Buddy. It works in our company and I starting use it personally.

- speed work
- sftp connection
- easy UI
- works from everywhere, hosted on Buddy servers

- higher paies
- I dont have now other idea what is bad on this app. Its simple and good.

The instant i knew BuddyWorks I told my team to start using it for all of our QA deployments... on the second day we increase our tier to migrate all of our pipelines to BW for our production servers. So far is one of the best apps to do the job done in a few clicks.

I like how easy to use and intuitive the app is, I managed to get a few pipelines ready in just minutes, something that take a couple of hours doing it by hand.

I would like a few more conditions added to execute and action, for example if a commit message have a keyword.

use it every day with project with different techonologies and works great

easy to use and does pretty much all i need, 100% recommendable

i think that the price could be lower but, not much

Used in QA for build deployments / test environment

Clean and easy to use interface
Run and watch build deployment
Real-time monitoring
Integration , ie. Github and Slack

There was a certificate issue that took some time to resolve, but outside of that, I can't think of one.

Quite satisfied using the service and would definitely recommend even for production use on some projects

- Super easy to use even by team members that are not part of the development team
- Easy to setup
- Provides a good way to automate a set of actions

- Does not provide an easy way of resolving issues that may occur while running a pipeline

Overall mine and my teams experience with Buddy have been good. There is little that we have not been able to achieve with a little bit of time and effort. Would recommend this for your CI/CD solution.

I like the interface and how it is very intuitive. The design is clean and simple whilst still allowing more complex functionality.

Can take a while to understand integrations with other services especially with the more junior members of the team.
