CloudBees CodeShip Reviews & Product Details

It is fairly consistent and reliable. Out full pipeline does break from time to time, but we've discovered that CodeShip is not at fault. (BitBucket is usually the culprit).

CodeShip has been pretty much set it and forget it, which is great.

Another nice feature is if a build fails, you can SSH into the EC2 instance and have more control with your troubleshooting. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Their support was not incredibly helpful the one time we needed to contact them. We were evaluating CodeShip Pro; and they were in a very much sales mode rather than helping us make a proper assessment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

CodeShip has enabled me to setup reliable CI/CD systems for multiple projects very quickly.

Having worked with Jenkins for close to a decade, I know what it is to spend hours, or even days, getting jobs set up correctly. CodeShip removes so much trouble without sacrificing any of the power. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I find it a little confusing that the "Test" step is labeled as such. I think "Build & Test" would be clearer. Alternatively, separate "Build" and "Test" steps would be ideal.

Also, the environment variables editor can be a little confusing when you're trying to add new variables. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the wide range of integration Codeship has with other CI tools and how easy it is to make them work together. We have been using the Pro account and we highly appreciate how well the Cloudbees Codeship marketing and engineering teams work with us and take our inputs and turn them into useful features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing to dislike. If you do not like a feature or miss a feature, I recommend getting in touch with the Codeship team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Support is fantastic, basic setup is dead simple, web UI is intuitive and easy Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes there is lag on the build logs, so much that I have to refresh. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We really like the ease of use and quick initial setup. CodeShip Basic was the easiest CI/CD of all those we tested and we use it since 2014. Even the simplest deployments like static microsites are now automated with build and deploy notifications in our Slack channel. We can also see continuous progress of improving UI and adding more features to the CodeShip. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

CodeShip Basic is really simple to use, which means it is missing some features we would like to have, e.g. configuration in git, however those features are available in CodeShip Pro which is more complex to setup and manage. It would be great to see some Pro features in CodeShip Basic. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Codeship has a very simple and easy setup. We used the github integration and the codeship pro docker integration while it was in early access. The documentation is very helpful for setting up various use cases, but honestly their support is what really makes the experience shine. Any problems we had were always addressed promptly - shout out to Drew. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We dislike that there's no GPU support and using different remote docker registry is a little bit challenging. We also dislike that we can't set up some kind of authentication config across all our projects at once. Having a different codeship.aes key for each project is also a little bit annoying.

In general the web UI is a bit tough on browser resources and a bit sluggish. There can probably be a bit of polishing on the site. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

- Automated tested deployments that nobody needs to worry about.

- Custom commands, like for example, make a db backup before deployment.

- Comes with pre-existing configurations for multiple platforms commonly used for small businesses.

- Customer support team has been helpful trying to identify issues and solving them.

- Github integration, we know if some pull request is working just by looking at the build status.

- Being able to use environment variables and conditions on the build, so if you for example have some specific branch that requires some different work, you can do so. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

- Some statistics could be used to lead the clients know how their setup is performing, points to improve, etc.

- UI could get some work, for example when clicking "Builds" should take to the main project/builds instead of that page that shows builds but no "project settings" link or project name. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the extremely customizable build & test configurations. I use Custom Scripts for all my builds, but it's nice to know the templates exist. Debugging is extremely easy too since I can SSH into the builds! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Most things about Codeship are just fine. I wish queueing of jobs was handled better, but I know they've recently been making improvements. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like how easy is to understand the CI process through the CodeShip PRO interface (Test PipeLines, Deployment, etc..) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don't like CodeShip Pro. I understand that CodeShip PRO gives us full control of our Builds and basically we have a Container running on every push to do whatever we want. But I think there has to be a middle point where users can still use docker and also have the UI that helps them set up a CI/CD process following a set of steps. (Like CodeShip Basic). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I've used Codeship for many years, and have seen how the product has progressed, improved, and continued to be a reliable way to manage continuous integration. I haven't needed their support team much, but when I have they're quick and they know their stuff. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Setting up Codeship Pro takes a fair bit of knowledge about Docker. It's still much easier than building and maintaining your own CI/CD server, but devs unfamiliar with Docker will face a learning curve when switching to their Pro product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

You can get started with CodeShip quickly and easily, following their excellent documentation. CodeShip Pro makes for a very flexible environment.

The jet cli makes makes working with CodeShip Pro quick and efficient. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing comes to mind just now. We've been happy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

CloudBees CodeShip has helped us automate devops processes without any hassle and limited in-house knowledge. It's very simple to use and works out of the box.

For us, Its integration with AWS has made deployment a breeze. All we have to do to deploy is push to our production branch. Our tests are executed by its CI which stops faulty builds, the CD picks that right up and does all the annoying parts that AWS has for us.

CodeShip has a comprehensive list of tasks that are generated through the specified commands.

You can easily follow the tasks and see its logs.

Failed builds indicate this on the GitHub PR and notify us in a Slack channel, which makes it very clear when an issue has occured. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

In my experience as a user, there are not enough options to set permissions.

There are a few moments where I would have required the permissions to see or adjust commands, this currently is not possible without the owner giving me full privileges.

An annoyance when using CodeShip for personal projects is that you cannot disable it on specific branches, which can make CI and CD a bit slow when merging into other branches, that each trigger a build.

The price can be a bit steep for early start-ups or hobbiests. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I appreciate the simple interface and low effort required to get off the ground. It's very easy to see what happened in my build without having to dig too far. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While the simple interface is nice, it'd be great to be able to scale to more threads without needing a custom-priced executive account and some additional configuration options built-in. I wish there was more data available related to build history metrics and overall time spent running - as it is we need to calculate these on our own. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We started with Codeship Basic for most of our projects. This turned out to be super simple to set up and get running. Once the company grew and we needed more features out of our CI/CD system, we switched to Codeship Pro and found a deep and flexible feature set that allowed us to flawlessly deliver our code. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I was a bit underwhelmed with how the manual approval feature ended up working. I thought it would've been a good fit for our use case but that ended up not being true. I was also surprised to see no options for scheduling nightly builds, which required our team to build some more infrastructure to work around this limitation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's super easy to get your repos up and running. We had 10+ projects running builds within a few days. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Lots of your configuration comes via settings files -- this is good because it can be version controlled, but for us it sometimes meant modifying our build configurations could take longer than desired because code changes had to flow through a review process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It just works and doesn't require a lot of effort to set it up. The documentation is solid. I haven't encountered any issues within the last year. It would be great if other vendors would work in the same way. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

No built-in code coverage. I need to use a service like codecov to handle it and I'd rather have one tool that's able to parse the reports and show as a page/badge. The setup takes time per every project and is annoying.

There is no paypal payment available (or there wasn't when I paid last time).

I need to use shields.io for standard badges, would rather include a standard looking badge from codeship directly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that it's quite fast, makes build process enjoyable. It does what it's needs to do, hopefully it will get better work all issues fixed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I dislike that builds sometimes fail for no reason and succeed after restarting. We had to contact support to figure out some of the issues because no clear errors were displayed Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use it a lot, his documentation and also de jet cli to try to CI/CD steps in my local environment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

From a time to now the docker run is a little slower but it tolerable and also sometimes jet cli documentation is a little short. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Very easy to use and simple to set up, no need for salespeople.

We use it for many repositories for continuous deployment which also makes it easier for new starters not having to understand the deployment process. Definitely has sped up our time to release which has been a big win for us saving time and bugs. The user interface is easy to use and clean with alerts and integrations in the likes of slack makes it easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There is nothing specific other than pricing which I would prefer to be a little cheaper as we're always playing of setting up our own jenkins build due to cost.

Also if their services go down this does cause up problems, however, it should be said that this is not often at all. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The simplicity with which you can automate your way into deploying almost anything. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The learning curve is a little bit steep. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I'm kinda person who believe in taking full control. CodeShip lets me do it. I run custom scripts for pre check, post check and if something fails, CodeShip gives me ability to dive deep into the the problem by giving me access to the build system. Where me and my bash solves it all. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The pricing is little off the charts if you're individual and want to deploy your own application and manage it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

CodeShip is easy to navigate and use across the entire team. I especially enjoy being able to follow along with builds that are spread across a variety of third party integrations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes CodeShip won't fail to build, but be stuck in a never ending cycle. If you don't check in on this, it will queue up any other builds that were processed after. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Everything about Codeship is straight forward, this allows us to add another project to our CI/CD pipeline withing minutes. It's a trade-off though, you don't get much control, but on the other hand, seems that everything is tuned properly in the first place. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

In my experience there is somewhat weird behavior in terms of performance in the environment. Test would some time run 2x slower and even more than the usual without clear reason (could be the underlying infrastructure - could credits etc?). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Codeship makes it simple to create a continuous integration step for our software. it provides all of the necessary tools to make development easy, and ensure that we can run all of our tests and any other necessary hooks every single time we push out code Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It can be pretty frustrating that lower tier plans don't allow for parallel pushes. Even for a small team, it can become annoying having to wait for other code pushes before yours in sequence Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
