What do you like best about BuildMaster?

For a software development manager like myself BuildMaster’s automation of the build and deployment processes is extremely useful. It optimizes the entire CI/CD process to ensure that software is released with standard and order. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about BuildMaster?

The reporting interface of the tool looks quite outdated and it is not very easy to generate reports that are relevant to my team based on the metrics which are most important to it. This makes it difficult for me to track and evaluate the performance of builds as I would want to. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

BuildMaster eliminated these repetitive tasks for me so that my team and I can focus on other important activities. With build and deploy automation it assures that the software is released properly and with no errors. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about BuildMaster?

The back-end tie-in to Otter Script and the other components, as well as the ease of modification of any of the open-sourced component plugins. The process orchestration is top-notch; allowing fine-grained control on approval and security as well as detailed point-in-time manual intervention and restoration (depending on how you've written your pipeline!). The pipelines are 'drag and drop' for the newbie, allowing loops and conditionals, but also can be switched to pure code which is really well documented. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about BuildMaster?

The problem, the largest problem, is that the community isn't large enough to provide the scale of plugins that other solutions (I say that sparingly, as release automation is not the same as build automation) have. VSO, newest, has started implementing release automation and the backing behind it could cause a disruption unless the Inedo community pulls together. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering BuildMaster:

A DevOps culture is not all about the tools, it is about how the organization embraces the mindset. This was an essential early tool as it provided the Developers the means to ensure their builds were being deployed properly and as required, but gave the business the peace of mind that comes with controlling a production rollout with validations. But beyond that, it set a groundwork in place rapidly so that we could release in a better manner and move forward trying to push the community and concepts of a DevOps environment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Compliance in release. Building is the first step, storage is another, but ensuring compliance on release of SQL projects, code projects, and relatively any asset is a key component of PCI, HIPAA, and SOX compliant organizations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
