Top Rated GoCD Alternatives
a. Mapping to Real World Concepts.
Example : Environment: I can group all my servers into different buckets/environments namely DEV, QA, STAGE, PROD. This make organizing and assigning machines and pipelines easy.
b. The User Interface is easy.
c. Capability to deploy a script to multiple machine
d. EASY to Learn, and provide transition to a team member.
e. The support team is very very quick to respond. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
a. When the disk space is very very low (to store the GO artifacts), there is an option to delete the oldest artifacts. But, sometimes, I dont want to delete the older artifacts, rather I want the DEV-Trunk artifacts to be deleted. It would be nice to have an option to mention the GROUP name whose Artifacts will be deleted.
Also, A email trigger would have been better if the disk space reduces to limit-X.
b. My project has 100s of pipelines. On Dashboard each GROUP has a list of pipelines. I would like to expand and shrink the Group by double-clicking it. Rather now, I have scroll a lot to find pipelines. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have been using GoCd for the past 1 year. I have been using it as the main pipeline for all our deployments. Features like giving access to different users, feature to create different templates for different pipelines, having a variety of version control systems and the ability to integrate tool and testing frameworks really makes it stand apart. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
When I first started using GoCD, learning all the features was hard due to the low user base. The user interface sometimes feels complex, especially for beginners to set up specific and intricate pipeline configuration, also for which tutorials are hard to find.

GoCD makes the continuous delivery just simple as we can have many agents within the same server also the pipelines are very easy to configure from the code first approach. So, I would highlight those as the best features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It had a slide with more learning curve to set up, I guess there should be an improved onboarding guide. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Value Stream Map shows clearly the flows from code changes to production deployment Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
New GoCD configs have to be merged into master branch to take effect & there is no way to dynamically set parameters like environment variables per build. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Simplicity, API, and of course the power behind concepts like pipeline, stage, jobs Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I can say that is anything I don't like, but the thing to consider is that the projects I've used are not very big. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
- The templating was nice once one you got the hang of it
- Triggers/DAG of pipelines is solid if you have to do massive deployments with the push of a button Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
- API and templating support is pretty rough
- doesn't have the best integration with Github, for which we had to use AWS CodeBuild for webhooks
- UI/code setup for a pipeline is pretty complex for new people Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
1. Web interface is user-friendly.

Nothing to dislike but areas of improvment

2. Additional support of YAML template will help a lot.
3. Configuration is a bit rough to understand. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Web interface is looking good.
You can organize well your builds using roles, environments, jobs, tasks, etc. .
You can use containers build agents. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Web interface needs improvements, doesn't run so good sometimes.
Integration with docker containers and kubernetes should be improved. This integration process should be smoother. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
