"Great even for people just starting out"

5/5

What do you like best about Buddy?

I personally like that Buddy is fairly straightforward to use. It doesn't take countless tutorials to just get started. My absolute favorite thing is that Buddy actually has a free plan so that small developers like myself don't have to make a big commitment just to try out the tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Buddy?

My dislikes aren't too bad since I did get used to them using Buddy after using it a couple of times. However, if I would have to say something it would be that some improvements to the UX would be great for first-time users. It didn't take long to figure out where everything was located, but I can imagine some users struggling a bit at first to get used to where everything was located Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"I can't imagine working on development without Buddy now"

5/5

What do you like best about Buddy?

It is so easy to set up any pipeline with their pre-defined actions. Also, a lot of options to make the pipeline as you want. And using a GUI made my job pretty easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Buddy?

It really isn't anything that I don't like. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Buddy:

Writing a YAML file is very hard and needs a lot of experience. With Buddy.works you will only work on GUI which really helps a lot in preparing the pipelines you need. It is so easy to separate your pipelines in projects filter them with labels and so on. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I'm a lead developer for multi projects and setting up pipelines properly and in a very fast way helped the process of web development a lot. I can easily track my deployments, set conditions for pipelines to run, notifications, etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"It does the Job!!!"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Buddy?

I'm able to create all kinds of pipelines with an incredible simplicity Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Buddy?

With a free account, we are limit to few actions because of the free space that we have available, and every time we run the deploy, we have to clear everything before. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great solution for small and big companies!"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Buddy?

It's really easy to get started with Buddy, pipelines are very easy to setup and in a few minutes you got yourself a automated deployment server Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Buddy?

Not much, it's only unfortunate that Google Chat is missing in the notification methods. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Buddy:

Buddy is a relief for every developer. It's very easy to setup a pipeline for a server and there are tons for possibilities on how and when to build or deploy your website. We use Buddy for every website/shop since 2020 and it saved us lots of time! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Very flexible, great UX"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Buddy?

We've been using Buddy for a limited time (no more than 2 months in production), but so far I'm impressed. It's easy to setup, very flexible, its UI is very easy and the custom support has been very responsive and helpful. Docker support is great. We haven't tried some of the most advanced features yet (tests, etc), but it looks like they'll be easy to setup just as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Buddy?

Documentation website is a bit messy - it looks more like a collection of articles rather than an organized KB, and I'd like the inline help to be expanded, rather. Also, I'd love for iOS/Android apps to be released. No major cons though! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Super easy to use"

5/5

What do you like best about Buddy?

- Easy to use

- Super fast in compare with Github Actions/CircleCI/Bitrise

- Intuative dashboard

- Cool support

Configuration with GUI or yaml file. I prefer using GUI because with it I can built any scenario i need. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Buddy?

Well, everything is excellent. Only on one thing, I can complain - price. But i suppose its ok for unlimited time of use. So no major disadvantages. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A real gamechanger"

5/5

What do you like best about Buddy?

Buddy is an excellent tool for any developer to have in their arsenal. I am still very much a beginner in the way of DevOps and making pipelines. However, with their user-friendly GUI and helpful and friendly support team, I have quickly found my way into making tasty pipelines with my hosting solutions. It's been a great learning curve! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Buddy?

I think the only downside to Buddy is the steep jump between the free and the paid plan. It would be nice to see a more basic paid plan that would bridge the price gap. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
