What do you like best about Buddy?

I love the ui of Buddy. As someone who's never setup automated pipelines before, the UI was much more approachable than the other options I tried. Being very new to this, the trial period was very helpful to be able to try out lots of different implementations and figure out how I wanted it set up without incurring any extra costs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Buddy?

The docs are helpful and discuss a lot of different use cases for Buddy, although I do wish there was some examples that went through some best practices for individual devs or smaller teams with minimal experience setting up CI/CD or other pipelines. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I work with a small team and also have personal projects that I develop on the side. I wanted to setup automated testing and deployments for our team in order to cut down on launch time and mistakes. Using Buddy made it so simple to get up and running. The ui is beautiful and extremely intuitive and honestly a joy to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Buddy?

I have been using Azure DevOps and Octopus deploy for the past 5 years, and we have recently moved to Buddy. I was blown away at how easy it is to set up deployment scripts and running the job from beginning to end. It can even be done by a non-technical person, giving very little training. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Buddy?

Adding users to the team was difficult if the user doesnt have an account already. The process is broken and needs to be fixed. It will send an email with a signup link which will display as "link expired" even if its 30 seconds after receiving it. The fix was that the user had to initially set up their own account first, log into it, then click on the link in the email to be added to the team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Simplifying the deployment process, as well as speeding it up signifiantly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Buddy?

I don't have anything I dislike, maybe because my use is very simple. Maybe that it was easier to retry reruns when it fails the first time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

It makes deployment to the server way easier and faster. It saves me 15 minutes everytime a new commit to the main branch is made, I can't remember the last time I opened Filezilla. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
