"Codefreah as a CI/CD deployment tool"

4/5

What do you like best about Codefresh?

Codefresh has helped our organisation centralize the entire deployment pipeline, from build to test to deploy to maintenance. Before Codefresh, we needed different UI representations and backend tools for Admins and Developers for the entire release pipeline, this problem has been eliminated by Codefreah. And even more importantly, it is cheaper than the previous tool we used. In today's agile way of working, we needed something which could be easy to integrate and implement considering the high frequency of use, which is fulfilled by Codefreah Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Codefresh?

There definitely are some drawbacks which I think can be worked upon by their dev and business team, but no dealbreakers in my opinion. For instance, the public support documentation is something that can be improved. We also noticed some cost upticks when we started migrating some of our more complex projects to Codefresh. Also, when it comes to mission critical projects, the fact that they only have email support is not reassuring. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

1. Codefresh has helped us centralize our Release pipeline

2. We have been able to unify our build, test, deploy and maintenance tools into Codefresh, reducing complexity and cost.

3. The use of GitOps along with Codefresh has significantly reduced developer overhead with respect to releases.

4. The proxy logs and config log viewer along with app logs have helped us a lot in debugging during Canary failures Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

With a one-click button, we get to know how we can integrate with our software to others, and we can also see which of the software was up and down with just a click of a button and also able to deploy the applications so easily. On mobile smartphones, we can also monitor our application. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
