Buddy Pros and Cons

Buddy platform supports IaC automation approaches to deploy our infrastructure via CloudFormation & Terraform scripts.

It offers exceptional integrations with third party tools to handle our version control, notifications & RCA tracking procurements.

All repetitive & error prone tasks can be effectively automated in its platform which contributes greatly towards our cost savings. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Learning curve is quite steep since we need to understand how we can design efficient deployments via its pipeline features.

It also requires additional effort to maintain the custom actions defined in its automation platform.

Apart form these limitations, Buddy platform is splendid for our AWS infrastructure deployments to carry out EC2 server builds and Lambda functions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Simple to use, a lot of integrations with different products Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The price should be lower for long term customers Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The UI is very intuitive and it's easy to set up new actions and flows. We use it for every deploy in a number of applications. Integrations with Github and the like are super straight forward. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Pricing is a bit expensive when you want multiple runners Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Great support on Buddy side, quick responses when facing some issues. Easy to use and up-to-date UI, many pre-built pipeline actions that can be used. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sudden downtimes, although not for long but will occasionaly get the "we'll be right back page...", some other things are no longer relevant as Buddy has been able to fix/improve the issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Whn you need to setup, some simple pipeline that does exact job it is rather easy. You can see a lot of possibilities in terms of configuration - despite we are using only few. I would like to expore the tool more when will be the need to explore more specific cases and for example allow to trigger buddy from some external tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

UI/UX is confusing from time to time, especially for new users Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

For me personally, I really love the ease of use of Buddy with its awesome drag-and-drop GUI. It's very easy to navigate and set up the perfect pipelines suited for any kind of project.

I can especially recommend Buddy for WordPress deployment or any other smaller-scaled projects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

You can use it in the Free tier, but when working as part of a larger-scaled team, you will definitely need to subscribe, and their costs are relatively much higher than with their competitors. However, I think that there aren't that many tools with such ease of use, so it could be well worth the current pricing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I think the UI, it's really easy to use, no need any guide to see how it works Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes it made me hard to see the full name of project when it's so long, i think tooltip when hover to it maybe an option. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is easy to use, learn and integrate. You could implement a new pipeline pretty fast. The customer support usually replies in the same day. It is easy to use frequently. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
