"Most developer friendly CI tool"

5/5

What do you like best about Codefresh?

The best part of Codefresh is the declarative definition of pipeline templates and pipelines specification, either via native Codefresh resource or via Terraform, and the reusability of pipeline templates across multiple repositories.

Documentation is precise and helpful. The support from Codefresh team is also great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Codefresh?

The only thing which I dislike about Codefresh is pricing. We have around 200 users and pay per seat plan is quite expensive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Codefresh:

I would highly recommend using Codefresh, both for personal projects and for businesses at almost any scale. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We have unified CI/CD process for more than 70 repositories. Now developers bind their repository to one of the pre-made pipelines by the SRE team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A time optimizer: Increases your productivity at 0 cost"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Codefresh?

It is very easy to use, its free tier is generous and you can complement it with your own kubernetes cluster. One-click builds/deployments on your kubernetes cluster is just awesome. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Codefresh?

Its learning curve is a bit tough at first. The first few weeks it was nearly imposible to get a correct deployment, but after a few working, now it is super easy.

You don't have as many recipes as you will find in Github CI, and sometimes importing them does not work as intended and need some tweaking. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Codefresh:

If Github/Gitlab CI gets short for your usage, or if you need custom machines or full control of your deployments and builds inside your private cloud, then it is a must. There is not any other product in the market that is so cheap (almost free) and that lets you use your infrastructure in such an easy way. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I am solving all the deployments of my team. I got from 90% of my time taking care of deployments to less than a 5% of my time. Now I can concentrate on what really matters. And the best part is that you can duplicate pipelines, so just new deployments for new clients are ready within seconds. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"I forgot about Jenkins when I started Codefresh"

5/5

What do you like best about Codefresh?

I had Jenkins background, and it was just a messed. It is good if the project is small, but it gets very messy once you have a lot of plug-ins. I love how clean Codefresh is despite the project size. Whether is a big project or a small project, Codefresh makes pipelines management so much easier, and it's actually FUN to use! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Codefresh?

It's very easy to run out of resource. The resource choices are very limited. I think they only have small, mid, and large right now. It would be good if we can custom the resources size to fit a different purpose instead of just 3 choices. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Codefresh:

If you are using Jenkins, and then it is giving you headache, you should try Codefresh. It'll change your perspective about CICD! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Our CICD process is combined with Github action and Codefresh. We have been using it for about 6 months. The benefit is the stability. It made our release process very smooth. Staging? Prod? No problem just one click away or by scheduled. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Easy to setup and configure"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Codefresh?

As our company has grown we have moved from TeamCity, Jenkins, and then into a homegrown solution powered pipelines by Google Cloud. Codefresh is easier to configure and has seamlessly fit into our workflows. It also offers flexibility of SAAS based infrastructure or it can plug directly into your cloud environment via the Codefresh runner. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Codefresh?

Codefresh is still s relatively new product and they don't yet provide good insight into historical run statistics. But I believe those are both things on their roadmap! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Codefresh has given us control over our pipelines again and the visual layout of the pipeline has radically increased transparency into the steps that a build goes through.

We've been missing test and lint artifacting since leaving Jenkins and TeamCity behind, but with the direct integration with Allure Codefresh is going to give that back to us. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Codefresh easy of use CI/CD"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Codefresh?

from my past experience with other CI/CD tooling on the market I can say for sure than codefresh is one if not the one more straight forward tool for CI/CD on k8s workloads. I like the ability to have stuff like `ask_for_permissions` and all the built in git-triggers configurations in an easy to use way, this does multi-env deployments to go very smooth.

the other thing that I love is the easy way to have monorepos with specific CI/CD requirement by their own. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Codefresh?

I haven't try to much the codefresh cli but I was trying to do some debugging and it seems be pretty barebone to do debugging on pipelines.

`codefresh validate PiPELINE --attach` does the work but sometimes the errors or warnings are not to descriptive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Codefresh:

go to codefresh documentation you can create or migrate a pipeline in a short time of time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

multi-env deployments on k8s clusters with ease, pretty much from building docker images, unit testing, integration testing , deployments on differents environments. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Developing common reusable pipelines for software developers and infrastructure engineers. Benefits so far have been it's been a fairly intuitive product so its easy to get up and going without much complexity. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Codefresh has a fresh approach towards CI/CD, its quite easy and intuitive to build pipelines"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Codefresh?

I like how easy it's to set up different git triggers on the job like on push or tag creation and combination of regex. and define stages through YAML files is has a very clean and well-defined structure.

UI has a very clean way to breakdown those stages in the rows of higher-level categories and then by each Jobs inside of those, plus the basic free version is very much enough for most of the small development and opensource projects. Apart from that, it has built-in connectors for Kubernetes, Helm, and many cloud providers. We have connected or GKE cluster to code fresh and we run deployments very easily. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Codefresh?

I think code fresh is pretty complete in terms of CI/CD at least way better than GitHub actions but I think for debugging If I could easily connect to the docker instance or machine, where the current job is running that, would have been great. This feature could be useful because sometimes running the jobs are very time expensive and to reach a certain stage is you might have to wait for a long time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Codefresh:

If you are considering a new CI/CD solution try code fresh it will most probably suit your needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Codefresh is used to deploy dynamic environments for our company on GKE, it runs the jobs that trigger builds for building docker images on every PR and then provisioning a new staging environment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
