What do you like best about Bitrise?

The best thing is that you have the option to choose how you want to work with Bitrise, manage your own runner instances and connect them to the platform or just forget about the infrascture setup and let Bitrise do all the heavy lifting.

When it comes to user experience, UI and ease of use, I have to say, it's definitely by far the best tool you can pick for your CI/CD workflow. You can get up-and-running in a matter of minutes and just play around with the workflows. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Bitrise?

After using it for a couple of years now, the only thing that comes to mind is not having a history of changes for your workflows (if using the hosted yml file) option. Sure, you can always add the configuration file to your own repo, but in that case it can be a bit tiresome to update workflows, copy/paste the configuration into your yml file and pushing the changes.

What problems is Bitrise solving and how is that benefiting you?

Bitrise is doing all the heavy lifting around making builds of our Android app, based on set triggers. Currently we have a couple of types of builds and conditions set when they need to be run, and Bitrise works like a charm. Not to mention actually pushing the builds to Firebase App Distribution for QA testing and finally creating releases on Google Play. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Bitrise?

It is so easy to use and set up! As a developer, I don't want to spend time setting up complex build configurations in systems that I barely understand. It usually takes a huge amount of time and loads of frustration. With Bitrise, this was not the case. It was so easy to set up and I had it running perfectly in no time. It is super easy to add or change the build steps also. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Bitrise?

I found it a little bit confusing to understand the pricing between accounts. I have a user account, with its own plan, that belongs to a company account, with its own plan. I have to really think about what I will be charged and on what plans the builds are registered to. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Bitrise solving and how is that benefiting you?

We now have automatic builds of our android and ios apps. We run tests on them and notify all developers if a build fails. If they succeed we share release and beta builds with testers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Bitrise?

I really like how easy Bitrise makes it to build apps for Android and IOS. The logs of the build process are easy to understand, and it integrates well with other parts of our workflows. I use it a lot to build complex changes to see anything has broken, and to get the app into people's hands for testing. I definitely recommend them to others. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Bitrise?

The cost of the starter pack ain't cheap, haha! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Bitrise solving and how is that benefiting you?

It simplifies the process of building release-worthy copies of our Android and IOS apps. It also saves us time by allowing us to kickstart builds and go do something else. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Bitrise?

I like how easy it is to setup CI/CD workflows such as app distribution to Firebase and receiving updates in Slack. Following the UI is easy to add new workflows, change or duplicate existing workflows. I hate having to waste time setting up complex things in a CI/CD platform instead of spending time on my tasks but with Bitrise it's UI is intuitive and easy to follow. Bitrise service has been reliable, I have never seen it go down in 3 years I've been using it. It also shows warnings for any upcoming breaking changes well in advance and its easy to address these things by following the UI prompts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Bitrise?

When a build fails the errors are still at the bottom of a long log, Bitrise could improve this by making the UI more friendly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Bitrise solving and how is that benefiting you?

Distributing our app to different channels based on workflows is very easy in Bitrise. I get to spend my time on things that matter instead of spending hours debugging a strange issue like in other CI/CD platforms. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Bitrise?

BitRise has helped us to automate builds and releases for cross-platform Flutter applications. No more drawn-out processes and manual builds. BitRise helps us save time so we can continue developing our applications and reduce context-switching. Pipelines are easy to setup and configure, and Customer Support has always been excellent! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Bitrise?

It would be neat if BitRise included a history of workflow configuration changes so it could easily be rolled back in the Workflow Editor. We generally get around this by storing the configuration yaml file in our git repository, but if strictly using the Workflow Editor, this would be a neat feature to add. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Bitrise solving and how is that benefiting you?

BitRise solves the problem of context-switching and saves time by not having to perform manual builds. It's far easier to setup and manage over the git repository pipelines. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Bitrise?

The wizard for adding new projects with pre-configured options and easy integration with our other dev tools Github, Slack & Jira made it easy to get up and running and take Bitrise for a trial run. Once setup the insights provide easy reporting to management and any issues we encountered we found the support team responsive and helpful in identifying and resolving the errors.

Adding native support for a history of config changes would be helpful Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Bitrise?

I had a chance to use Bitrise many years ago while it was still in beta, but even then it smoked the competition out for its ease of use and powerful capabilities. It was just getting better over time, during which I had a chance to use it on multiple projects across multiple companies, so I'm glad that it became very popular in the industry because it's totally worth it. Keep it on! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Bitrise?

Nothing specific comes to mind, most of the time it just works, as it should be the case with CI/CD tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I think some more features around release orchestration will help the product be a better fit for enterprise use cases Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

By making it easy to shift our build process to the cloud with powerful machines, this enables our team to perform CI/CD properly and be more confident in shipping reliable software products. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Bitrise?

It's easy to get started without prior CI/CD knowledge but it also gives you many possibilities of customization if you're advanced. It's well integrated with many other platforms useful for mobile development and deploy. It's nice you also have the possibility to trigger the builds with certain conditions from the commits to the project and that they provide APIs to integrate and customize workflows programmatically. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Bitrise?

The interface can be a little bit confusing at first and could give more details about the options you can modify from the settings and suggest some steps on the worflows with common procedures. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Bitrise solving and how is that benefiting you?

I have an old laptop and this gives me the possibility to launch the build from remote and not from local, which would take ages to finish. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Bitrise?

I like that Bitrise is easier to use than similar tools I've tried in the past. They provide a large number of pre made workflow steps that you can add in and configure to make it easier to build out fully automated pipelines. At the same time Bitrise is extremely powerful and you can write your own completely customized build pipeline steps if needed. The team I'm on uses Bitrise to automate all of our builds across mobile, server, and web. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Bitrise?

We have some pretty complicated build pipelines and occasionally a build step will fail. If we just rerun the step the next time it will usually pass. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Bitrise solving and how is that benefiting you?

When automating builds for medium to large sized applications there are a lot of steps to manage from downloading dependencies and running automated tests to signing, configuring, and deploying. It can be very tedious to try and script all that out by hand. Bitrise makes that much easier by giving you pre made steps do handle a lot of those tasks for you. They also keep you from having to setup and manage dedicated build machines to run the build pipelines on. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Bitrise?

I've been using Bitrise for years now and feel like this is the CI/CD tool I need as an independent developer. The ability to queue up builds, deploy to TestFlight or beta channels makes development a snap and deploying for customers easy. Integration into my development workflow was easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Bitrise?

At this time I haven't found anything that I dislike. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Bitrise solving and how is that benefiting you?

As a mobile developer, changing one line of code or even bumping the version would mean I would have to open XCode and Android Studio to perform the builds and then deploy them. Bitrise solves that by letting me push my code then go get another Dt Mt Dew while I wait for the builds to compelete. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
