## Semaphore Reviews
  ### 1. Excellent CI/CD service for private projects

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Chris F. | Software Developer, Information Technology and Services, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 08, 2019

**What do you like best about Semaphore?**

I really like that semaphore has several popular database services and other application dependencies already installed, configured, and accessible on the instances. It makes it super easy to get tests running for my apps. I also really like the direction Semaphore is going with their configuration-driven CI/CD in Semaphore 2.0.

**What do you dislike about Semaphore?**

I would like it if there was a more clear upgrade path to Semaphore 2.0 from projects on Semaphore classic.

**What problems is Semaphore solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We're using Semaphore for all of our in-house continuous integration and continuous deployment needs. We've been easily able to test and deploy all of our apps, which use a variety of test frameworks, depend on an array of different services, and run in many deployment configurations.

  ### 2. Must use!

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Abhinav J. | Web Developer Internship, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 03, 2020

**What do you like best about Semaphore?**

Intuitive UI & UX. Like the way, it represents all errors & builds.

**What do you dislike about Semaphore?**

There's nothing exactly I dislike about Semaphore.

**What problems is Semaphore solving and how is that benefiting you?**

CI & CD. Unit Test coverage

  ### 3. Excellent for iOS CI-CD setup

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Sagar K. | Mobile Application Developer, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** July 31, 2019

**What do you like best about Semaphore?**

Integration with GitHub, Latest Xcode build support, gem cacheing, ease of setting up environment variables, supporting local-keychain access for appStore deployment, automation with Fastlane & Fabric, AppStore deployment made easy. Thanks to parallel job execution, I can now test and build together.

**What do you dislike about Semaphore?**

Each time instance is starting as a fresh system. 10 to 15 mins are taken for installing CocoaPods and CocoaPods repository to install dependencies which I don't like the most. If we can cache cocoa-pods like we cache gems, it would be best. Also, Mac System on Semaphore CI are bit slow. I've same config which you've, but here it takes 20 mins to generate build using same set of commands but on CI, it takes more than 45 mins :( At the same time, I also would like to say that build for android is not yet available. It would be great add on feature.

**What problems is Semaphore solving and how is that benefiting you?**

CI-CD. Upon every git-push, build is generated & flag (for code is buildable or not) is shown. This really helps us identify while reviewing pull request on Github. 

  ### 4. We've been using Semaphore for a long time

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Lukas O. | CTO, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** January 27, 2020

**What do you like best about Semaphore?**

Responsive support
Handles our needs well
Good API
Load balancing across threads
Semaphore 2.0

**What do you dislike about Semaphore?**

Outside our VPCs so that can make certain actions tricky
On Semaphore 1.0, it was hard to debug problems (this is much better in 2.0)
Conditional logic in semaphore.yml could be simplified

**What problems is Semaphore solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Does most of our heavy lifting continuous integration
Outsourced a tricky infrastructure component

  ### 5. Powerful but affordable CI/CD

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Hrvoje M. | Staff Engineer, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** January 24, 2020

**What do you like best about Semaphore?**

Ability to define pipelines inside yml file and keep them in your code repository. Flexibility in pipeline design and various features that make devops life easier. Also, they have great support.

**What do you dislike about Semaphore?**

Since semaphore 2.0 is in early stages, they can have occasional performance issues.

**What problems is Semaphore solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We have benefits of keeping pipeline configuration inside code, easy and simple way to maintain them.

  ### 6. Most reliable CI tool I've used

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Myles C. | Mr, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** July 16, 2019

**What do you like best about Semaphore?**

Semaphore allowed me to easily setup test automation for a project I was working on and was cheaper and more reliable than some of the competition I had tried (Codeship/circleCI).  The UI is more intuitive and easy to follow while keeping it clean and surfacing the information that I need.

**What do you dislike about Semaphore?**

It achieves everything I need. I only use the v1 of semaphore and haven't used the v2 which seems to have a lot more flexibility and power (however the setup looks more complicated)

**Recommendations to others considering Semaphore:**

I don't know v2, but v1 of Semaphore is great if you have a Rails app. The test suite is fast, it scales well and the ui is very intuitive. 

**What problems is Semaphore solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I need a CI tool that was cost efficient and easy to use. As a solo developer on a project I wanted something that I could get up and running and wouldn't have to spend ages tinkering with and would just work.

  ### 7. Easy to use, performant CI tool

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Travis R. | Senior Engineer, Internet, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** December 06, 2019

**What do you like best about Semaphore?**

Setup/configuration is very flexible but not difficult. Support has been extremely helpful whenever I've had a problem or just a question.

**What do you dislike about Semaphore?**

I really can't think of any downsides to Semaphore.

**What problems is Semaphore solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We use Semaphore for test automation and continuous deployment.

  ### 8. The fastest on market

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Anthony M. | CTO, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 14, 2020

**What do you like best about Semaphore?**

CPU performance are almost 2x the competitors' one, without queue time.

**What do you dislike about Semaphore?**

Platform other than Linux aren't free for open-source projects.

**What problems is Semaphore solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I was looking for the CI/CD tools with the best perfs, Semaphore with their dedicated instances did it.

  ### 9. Excellent service with great support at a low price!

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Taylor F. | Lead Engineer, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** April 10, 2019

**What do you like best about Semaphore?**

Semaphore provides a solid, fast service that compares favorably to competitors like Travis CI and Circle CI. Support has been exceptional in the rare cases that we've needed it. Pricing, especially of the new Semaphore 2.0 service, is very low. The rollout of their new Semaphore 2.0 service has been great, and I like that they're continuing to support Semaphore Classic in the meantime.

**What do you dislike about Semaphore?**

It's clear that Semaphore 2.0 is a new service, so it doesn't have all the features you may expect. However it is actively being worked on, and new features show up regularly. For example, it was missing as "re-run this build" button for a while, but now it has that! My only real gripe is that they do not offer free service for open-source projects like some of their competitors do. 

**Recommendations to others considering Semaphore:**

If you only need a Linux-based testing environment, it's hard to do better than Semaphore. (If you need Windows or MacOS machines, you'll have to look elsewhere.) Semaphore's documentation is excellent, their machines are fast, and their support is responsive and knowledgable. 

**What problems is Semaphore solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We run all of our continuous integration (CI) on Semaphore. Doing so has enabled us to avoid dealing with complicated CI infrastructure like Jenkins. We also do some continuous delivery (CD) from Semaphore. That makes deploys completely painless and possible to do through a web-based UI. Both tests and deploys have been fast enough that we haven't wasted any time wondering why our test infrastructure is slow.

  ### 10. Great service, ease of configuration

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Stefano A. | Senior Freelance Developer, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** April 23, 2019

**What do you like best about Semaphore?**

I've used also CircleCI with its version 2 config files (which is quite tedious to setup), and I have to say that if I only could, I would definitely convert all my projects to work on Semaphore.
(Sadly, sometimes the client doesn't make this an option, doesn't care how loud my voice becomes.)

**What do you dislike about Semaphore?**

Nothing, really.
Although I've only used it for Continuous Integration builds, I can't testify for Continuous Deployment. But it seems very straightforward too.

**Recommendations to others considering Semaphore:**

If you're not convinced, try to set up a simple CI solution using Circle CI vers. 2

**What problems is Semaphore solving and how is that benefiting you?**

CI for Rails apps.
Basically, it allows me to add another full run of the whole test suite on an actual running environment. This has allowed me to spot countless times errors or flaws that were impossible to replicate during a local test run on the dev machine.

  ### 11. Powerful, intuitive, and effective

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Daniel M. | Full-stack Engineer, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** April 01, 2019

**What do you like best about Semaphore?**

To be honest, what I like most about Semaphore is that I get to use the product without "using" it.

We're a small startup, and after our initial learning gap was overcome, it's been seamlessly integrated into our build process.  We have build pipelines to multiple products in multiple environments, and for these preset environments, the build process is as easy as committing and pushing to our source repo.  Semaphore runs the tests, and as long as tests complete successfully, it's deployed.  Post-commit, we're notified in Slack.

Now, that's for the predefined branches.  When we have a feature branch we want to test out, for example, on development servers, simply select the branch in Semaphore and deploy manually.

**What do you dislike about Semaphore?**

There are errors that are extremely common in our environment (AWS).  These errors are not abstracted at all, so when a deployment fails, there's no top-level visibility as to why it failed.  You'll have to dig into the log-files (which are immediately available when you select the failed deploy) to figure out what went wrong.  Not a "bad thing" but not a "good thing" either.

**What problems is Semaphore solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We have instituted business processes that define when a feature / bug-fix branch can be merged into our various environments.  Semaphore makes everything past that process seamless.  If we do our job, Semaphore rolls things out, and all that's required is for us to verify that it deployed correctly.

  ### 12. Easy to use and reliable CI

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Ion B. | Mr, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** October 02, 2019

**What do you like best about Semaphore?**

Seamless GitHub integration. Works as expected with my Ruby on Rails applications.

**What do you dislike about Semaphore?**

With older versions of RSpec and Capybara-Webkit (maximum versions supported by Ruby on Rails 3) the buid process may hang up unexpectedly and never finish.

**What problems is Semaphore solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I am very satisfied by the fast, reliable, multithreaded CI builds made with Semaphore for all of my Ruby on Rails applications.

  ### 13. Fast, Easy and Ready and very Simple interface

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Mohsin K. | Typo3 Developer, Information Technology and Services, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** April 03, 2019

**What do you like best about Semaphore?**

I really like the interface and of its really simple to execute your tasks.
I like the Controll it provides user to accomplish tasks as they want.
The Deployments Process is really simple and easy then the others in the marker right now.
The Speed of the Test that i run throught this is amazingly fast.
Customer support is outstandingly fast.
Really easy to setup any big project by in just a few clicks. dont need to write 100's of line of codes to fullfill our CI/CD requirements.

**What do you dislike about Semaphore?**

Nothing till now, because of, for now, it fits on my needs.


**Recommendations to others considering Semaphore:**

I would like to recommand this to others who really in need of a simple solution related to automated deployment of the Projects. in combination with the CI.

**What problems is Semaphore solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Running tests of my code just before the deployment of the code to live. mostly the PHP Projects.

  ### 14. Configuration-as-code on a pay-per-use model? Sign me up!

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Craig Michael T. | Head of Engineering, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** June 06, 2019

**What do you like best about Semaphore?**

Pay-per-use was a must for our use case, and the fact that we could describe our entire build pipeline in code alongside the code base itself was a massive advantage over our existing CodeBuild implementation. Goodbye undocumented, manual build setups, hello reproducible, documented CI!

**What do you dislike about Semaphore?**

Promotions could use some work, specifically the ability to lock down certain promotions using the Conditions DSL. Though, this is on their long-term road map which is great!

**Recommendations to others considering Semaphore:**

Build matrices are your best friend if you're wanting parallel builds with varying environments.

**What problems is Semaphore solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We're testing out a MonoRepo approach to developing our software and Semaphore's configuration-as-code + build matrices made this a piece of cake. 

  ### 15. Very good and quick service

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Hidde W. | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** January 14, 2020

**What do you like best about Semaphore?**

- Good stability
- Great service 
- Many features

**What do you dislike about Semaphore?**

- In some cases a very new product, with some strange quirks

**What problems is Semaphore solving and how is that benefiting you?**

- Automated testing and deployment
- Improved integration testing with Docker

  ### 16. Great Experience

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** John P. | Senior Engineer, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 13, 2019

**What do you like best about Semaphore?**

Very consistent. Very easy to setup. I like the feeling that things just work.

**What do you dislike about Semaphore?**

I wish there was an easier way to clear cache other than shelling in to an instance and running the CLI command.

**What problems is Semaphore solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Since switching to Semaphore from another service, we have realized how little time we spend thinking about Semaphore because it's reliable.

  ### 17. Fast and simple ci/cd solution.

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Mikias A. | Mr, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** October 02, 2019

**What do you like best about Semaphore?**

The fact that it very simple to set up is what I like most. The docs are also clear and cover most of the use cases you might need and the option to change your machine for different jobs is very nice too.

**What do you dislike about Semaphore?**

It does not have an option to disable building for certain branches. 

**What problems is Semaphore solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Time to production has improved and safe of mind with all the tests for each commit.

  ### 18. Fast, flexible and easy to use

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Richard V. | CTO, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** April 26, 2019

**What do you like best about Semaphore?**

Semaphore 2 has one of the fastest, uncluttered and most to-the-point web interfaces of all CI products I've used.

When switching from Semaphore 1 I was a bit sceptical about the requirement of describing the build process, but in the end this has allowed me to implement extra checks, such as code scanning listing to our CI process. There is a good balance between ease of use and flexibility.

Support has been exceptional. 

**What do you dislike about Semaphore?**

Getting started with a new project for the first time can be a bit daring, but fortunately most of the use cases are well documented.

**What problems is Semaphore solving and how is that benefiting you?**

CI/CD platform that integrates with our GitHub and Heroku workflow.

  ### 19. Semaphore 2.0 is the fastest CI/CD tool I've used yet

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Jay D. | Senior Software Developer, Computer Software, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** January 28, 2019

**What do you like best about Semaphore?**

Configuration of Semaphore 2.0 is a breeze. It's entirely file based (rather than a web GUI) using YAML syntax and you keep your configuration in source control. The syntax is relatively simple (but powerful) and well documented. I was able to setup our configuration & optimize it in less than half a day. While many tools these days use this type of file-based configuration, our previous tool did not.

With our previous tool (another SaaS product competitor), we were able to run 4 pipelines in parallel for $400/month. At best, we'd get 8-12 minute test/build times (end to end), with a number of 15-16 minute outliers (for basically identical codebases, very small changes).

Once we switched to Semaphore, we were able to split our tests up across 8 pipelines, and use smaller VM's. We immediately saw a couple benefits:

- So far, our pricing is at less than 1/2 of what it was using our previous provider
- Our build times are consistently < 3 minutes end to end (compared to 8-16+ minutes)

The number of pipelines wasn't really the primary differentiator; I actually tried running between 8-16 pipelines on at least two (2) competitors. Whatever system Semaphore has setup for caching (bundle/node/etc) & provisioning VM's is super fast. Competitor tools would take 2-3 minutes or longer to restore a VM & run bundle. With Semaphore 2.0 our entire test suite is generally complete in under 3 minutes.

In addition to the competitors still being slower with more lanes, to run 8 parallel pipelines with the competitor tools would cost us a lot more than we wanted to budget.

**What do you dislike about Semaphore?**

There isn't much to dislike with Semaphore 2.0, but the web UI may be the area that will see the most improvement in upcoming months. 

It's clear Semaphore chose an API-first approach with Semaphore 2.0, but the web UI is functional for most of what you'll need to do day to day, aside from configuration. I've watched as the web UI has improved even over the past 2 months we've been using it.

**Recommendations to others considering Semaphore:**

Semaphore 2.0 has a free credit that lets you give it a pretty substantial run-through. Definitely give the trial a go. We were able to use a basic workflow, with 3 blocks (bundle across 1 job, lint across 3 jobs, tests across 8 jobs) to cut our testing time significantly

**What problems is Semaphore solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We're using Semaphore 2.0 with a Ruby on Rails application primarily for test automation as part of our CI/CD pipeline.

  ### 20. Awesome tool

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Yura O. | CEO, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** July 16, 2019

**What do you like best about Semaphore?**

I like the first version of Semaphore platform the most. It has nice UI, easy to configure for Rails projects hosted on github, it is fast and serving our purposes really well. 

**What do you dislike about Semaphore?**

1 - I find team / project access management the weakest part of the platform. 
2 - I'd like more straightforward way to access Activity Monitor page to see what is currently running


**What problems is Semaphore solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We're running tests for all of the projects that we're working on. Deployment is also managed via Semaphore. Sometimes people forget they can do that manually by running capistrano from local machine!

  ### 21. Great tool for test automation

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Diego D. | CTO & Founder of Leevia, Marketing and Advertising, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** May 07, 2019

**What do you like best about Semaphore?**

Semaphore works very well, our application is a ruby on rails dockerized app and tests are executed with rspec. We also love the integration with GitHub and Slack!

**What do you dislike about Semaphore?**

The price could be high for small team, would be great to have a plan dedicated to small team or start-ups.

**What problems is Semaphore solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We use Semaphore to execute automated tests in cloud, to have a common place where execute automated tests for the whole team and be notified for a test failure before to execute a deploy or close a pull request.

  ### 22. Semaphoreci2 is great

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer Software | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 12, 2019

**What do you like best about Semaphore?**

It's cheap, It's simple, It does support multiple environnements. We can test, build and deploy for the web, iOS and Android.

**What do you dislike about Semaphore?**

As of today it is lacking some functionnalities, and I would like an even deeper Github integration. (for exemple to re trigger something, directly from a PR comment)

**What problems is Semaphore solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I standardized the way we test and deploy apps. Before semaphore we were using differents products. They were more expensive than semaphore and less simple.

  ### 23. Quick setup, powerful CI, nice support

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Cristi D. | Senior Software Engineer & Team Lead, Computer Software, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** April 05, 2019

**What do you like best about Semaphore?**

We used to have an in house solution for CI/CD which required plenty of  time for maintenance and setup. With semaphore CI you can have the CI setup in minutes.
I find the cost reasonable for the power it provides.
The seamless integration with github and heroku.

**What do you dislike about Semaphore?**

Nothing yet. We've been quite happy since moving to semaphoreCI

**Recommendations to others considering Semaphore:**

Give it a try. I was reluctant to move away from our solution but don't regret the decision one minute

**What problems is Semaphore solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We're using it to automatically run our test suites and staging deployments for Ruby on Rails apps.

  ### 24. Excellent tool!

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Human Resources | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** December 17, 2019

**What do you like best about Semaphore?**

Good documentation, excellent interface, nice support.

**What do you dislike about Semaphore?**

Some previous versions wasn't so good  as the current one.

**Recommendations to others considering Semaphore:**

Can really speed up your work and product quality.

**What problems is Semaphore solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Fast shipping and easy to automate environment processes.

  ### 25. Easy and powerful

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer Software | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 18, 2019

**What do you like best about Semaphore?**

easy yml and integration with github great support and sem cli makes it more than fast

**What do you dislike about Semaphore?**

at the time I got in was really in beta so not a lot of stuff to see, but the changes in time compensated

**Recommendations to others considering Semaphore:**

Go test it out

**What problems is Semaphore solving and how is that benefiting you?**

CI tests

  ### 26. The fastest CI/CD solution out there

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Nemanja A. | Senior Software Developer Team Lead, Information Technology and Services, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 19, 2018

**What do you like best about Semaphore?**

I like how Semaphore streamlines my deployment process. Taking care about multiple environments is easier than ever, and I've tried a couple of other popular CI/CD solutions. Whenever a code update is pushed to git repository it will automatically run tests on it and deploy it if the deployment is configured on a branch to which the code is pushed, and configuring it doesn't take more than a couple of minutes.. The UI is so simple, my mom could even use it :) And it's blazing fast!

**What do you dislike about Semaphore?**

Sometimes the UI glitches (doesn't update or shows duplicate in-progress builds), but it doesn't really affect my workflow - it can make one confused for the first couple of times, but then you realize it's nothing that a simple page refresh can't solve.

**Recommendations to others considering Semaphore:**

Give it a try.- it doesn't cost anything (to try... or to use moderately)

**What problems is Semaphore solving and how is that benefiting you?**

My company completely relies on Semaphore for building, testing and deploying code to development, staging and production environments for all our clients. I'm not sweating before the deployments (to production) anymore!

  ### 27. One of the best CI/CD platforms

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Alvin Y. | Senior Full Stack Engineer, Computer Software, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 16, 2018

**What do you like best about Semaphore?**

Semaphore is one of the best CI/CD platforms in terms of:
1. Ease of use.
2. Pricing.
3. Support.
4. Their tremendous effort on pushing forward best practices.

Semaphore developers understand what you need from a CI/CD platform, and they keep improving it.  Often they release new features I need before I requested them.  This is particularly true if you look at their newly released 2.0 version.  I'm a big believer of total infrastructure-as-code (IaC).  Including CI/CD itself, they need to be part of IaC.  With Semaphore (particularly 2.0), you can archive near-100% IaC.

A strong competitor is AWS CodeBuild.  However, to use it effectively, it requires a large amount of prior work and the learning curve is quite steep.  Please forgive my bias that I think the majority of the CI/CD users would not have time or resources to do CI/CD nicely with AWS CodeBuild.  Semaphore CI will save you much time, in other words, much money.

My primary requirement of a CI/CD tool is that it has to support both Git Flow and non-Git Flow workflows.  Because when it comes to managing deployment, I have a lot more deployment environments than just "master" and "develop".  I also need to support rolling back quickly and efficiently for each environment.  I can achieve all that with Semaphore.

The quality of most of Semaphore CI’s competitors is nowhere near Semaphore’s.  One of them that I tried stated that it supports BitBucket on their homepage, but the BitBucket integration was broken utterly.  Also, it was left broken for weeks.  I wouldn't bother trying it anymore.  Some competitors might seem to be more popular.  However, I think this is an example that more popular tools are not necessarily better.
​
I was blown away on numerous occasions by their technical support.  Last time, they helped me to resolve an issue similar to kernel panic inside a virtual machine in my CD environment in Semaphore (and yes nested VM because I was building a VM image for later use).  Ervin, one of their engineers, provided a workaround to me in less than 24 hours.  Then they went on to actually address the root cause.  This is impressive because I think the issue I was encountering was very low-level and hard to debug.  Remember we are talking about things like kernel panic here, not many developers would have any clues.

**What do you dislike about Semaphore?**

Really nothing.  If I have to say one, it would be the limitation that you can only run your builds in a single region which is in Germany.

**Recommendations to others considering Semaphore:**

I really don't see many other real competitors unless your CI/CD platform is just a toy.

**What problems is Semaphore solving and how is that benefiting you?**

To reach near-100% infrastructure-as-code.

  ### 28. Semaphore provides the features we need in a no-nonsense package

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Arts and Crafts | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** April 25, 2019

**What do you like best about Semaphore?**

Semaphore has been great since day one. Their pricing structure is transparent and simple, and their documentation got me up and running in no time. When that documentation wasn't enough, an email to their support got an answer in less than 24 hours and answered my question straight to the point. I also appreciated their live video tutorial on YouTube, which confirmed some of the things I read in the docs and taught me some new ones.

**What do you dislike about Semaphore?**

For the moment about a month in, there's nothing I dislike about Semaphore. One thing I wish they had is Pull Request support, but they already answered me that it would be coming soon, and provided a workaround meanwhile.

**What problems is Semaphore solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Semaphore helps me and my team during our code review process by giving us an extra confidence that the code we push is running properly.

  ### 29. Simple, Powerful, and Great Support

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Sebastian  S. | Founding Team Member, Computer Software, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 10, 2018

**What do you like best about Semaphore?**

* Speedy builds, easy parallelization
* Simple, easy to configure environment, especially via 'Secrets' 
* Easy, high performance UI
* Fast customer support that is very helpful

**What do you dislike about Semaphore?**

No problems with this service so far. Suggestions for future development would be to use YAML config so Semaphore configuration can be version controlled - but that has recently been launched with Semaphore 2.0 I believe.

**Recommendations to others considering Semaphore:**

Most CI services have easy trial policies - if you sign up to a few, I think it is quite likely users will notice that Semaphore has best-in-class performance. We were trialling multiple providers and decided on Semaphore because the builds were faster than everyone else!

**What problems is Semaphore solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We have large containers that typically take a long time to build on other services. Semaphore offers a serious speedup over most competitors in terms of raw build time.

  ### 30. Fastest CI ever

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer Software | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 21, 2019

**What do you like best about Semaphore?**

Semaphore is much simpler and easy to integrate compared to other CI tools. 

**What do you dislike about Semaphore?**

I didn't found any issues with semaphore till now. 

**What problems is Semaphore solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Using semaphore for test automation and continuous deployment. 

  ### 31. The fastest available

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Financial Services | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 28, 2019

**What do you like best about Semaphore?**

The platform is the fastest available. I tried many different platforms for CI and on all my benchmarks this was the one with the best results. In some cases performing within half the time of others.

**What do you dislike about Semaphore?**

It is, and seems to have always been, quite simple. It lack some interface features. But luckily the support team is very helpful. I expect this downside to disappear in the near future.

**Recommendations to others considering Semaphore:**

Watch for usage costs. Being on demand is nice and all, but if you have high demand, like us, it can be very costly.

**What problems is Semaphore solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Contiuous Integration is key to provide feedback to the development team and also enable the continuous Delivery door.

  ### 32. SemaphoreCI makes CI simple

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Shaun M. | Co-Founder & Technical Director, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** March 12, 2019

**What do you like best about Semaphore?**

Platform:
- Quick to set up.
- Simple to use.
- Builds are fast.

Support:
- Responds promptly.

**What do you dislike about Semaphore?**

Wondering why I didn't come across it sooner.

**What problems is Semaphore solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Build:
- Passes our test suite.
- Shows build status in repo.
- Prevents merging a failed test.

Deployment:
- Auto-deployment on specific branch.

  ### 33. Quick to resolve issues

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Telecommunications | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** July 16, 2019

**What do you like best about Semaphore?**

Well functioning platform, quick to fix things, good support

**What do you dislike about Semaphore?**

I imagine it could get pricey if you have a large team and need a lot of CI done. But at that point you should probably be able to afford it.

They have a decent free tier that's quite hard to overshoot for single developers / smaller projects.

**What problems is Semaphore solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Code quality, etc

  ### 34. Simple, easy to use

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Media Production | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** May 07, 2019

**What do you like best about Semaphore?**

It just works automatically. I create pull requests and it's right there running my tests and validations.

**What do you dislike about Semaphore?**

Would like to see broader  maven multi-module support.  If project A has modules B and C...and only C has code changes then only build C.

**Recommendations to others considering Semaphore:**

It's free to try with private repos, why not?

**What problems is Semaphore solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Automated testing to improve code quality.

  ### 35. Fast and easy to use

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Thiago A. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** July 20, 2018

**What do you like best about Semaphore?**

Semaphore is fast. Building a rails app or an elixir app is pretty fast, running all the tests and doing integrations is faster than Travis + other integration solution, and much cheaper and easier to use.
The interface is clean and simple, and it's very easy to know what is happening or why something failed.
Also, the docker integration is good and being able to encrypt your passwords and env variables is pretty awesome.
I also like the tutorials on the site, they're pretty good and very complete.

**What do you dislike about Semaphore?**

Maybe have more tutorials about elixir deployment with distillery and AWS integrations.
Sometimes the builds take too long on docker.

**Recommendations to others considering Semaphore:**

Just read their well-written tutorials and try to deploy a simple app. If you ever used Travis or CircleCI, you're gonna notice the ease of use. 
It won't have as many features as the competitors, but this is a good thing. Most apps don't need all of that added complexity anyways.

**What problems is Semaphore solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Continuous integration, test automation and deployment on AWS. Our other rails apps (older) use Travis and Capistrano for deployment, but our newer apps run on semaphore because it makes it easier to run all the tests and run the deployment.

Also, semaphore is just faster. Our tests run so much faster on semaphore without any tweaking.

  ### 36. Easy setup, fast and reliable

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Internet | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** March 07, 2019

**What do you like best about Semaphore?**

No-brainer setup. Very easy to work with.

**What do you dislike about Semaphore?**

In v2 (beta) the GUI still needs some improvements, though it was very simplified and pleasing for the eye. I would appreciate some examples when editing the yml configuration (side by side) with recommendations for your project type.

**What problems is Semaphore solving and how is that benefiting you?**

It's fast, It's reliable and it is very easy to use. I am working with open-source projects and the fast feedback is awesome.

  ### 37. I love semaphore

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Nathaly V. | Lider de Desarrollo, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 12, 2019

**What do you like best about Semaphore?**

Pricing, ease of use

zonawiki.com loves semaphore!!

**What do you dislike about Semaphore?**

Semaphore 2.0 documentation is so undertandable :(

**What problems is Semaphore solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Continuous delivery integration <3

Fast development and fast growth

  ### 38. overall best ci esperience

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Bryan T. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** May 18, 2018

**What do you like best about Semaphore?**

Awesome user experience.  Everything about using Semaphore is great.  Adding projects, servers, managing teams, etc.  It's too often that the user experience is overlooked when dealing with tools that are so heavily trafficked by developers.  It's also fast, and always kept up to date, and easy to integrate with other services.  I also like their blog articles.

**What do you dislike about Semaphore?**

I can't really think of anything to dislike about the product.  The price is competitive with similar offerings, though after comparing with others head to head, we chose Semaphore and have not been sorry.  I did reach out to their HR department once and did not get a reply.  Oh well! :)

**Recommendations to others considering Semaphore:**

Give it a try first, and compare it to other products.  See if it works for you.  Ask them for help if you need it.

**What problems is Semaphore solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We needed to move away from managing our own Jenkins, so we looked at managed CI/CD solutions.  Semaphore fit the bill in every way and was easy to set up.  I just love it.  Using it, and more properly said, making full use of the platform, we reduced build time from ~ 16 minutes to about 4.  

  ### 39. The premium CI experience

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Jack H. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** May 22, 2018

**What do you like best about Semaphore?**

It's just a good ole product. Fast as lightnin', easy to organise projects and teams, a great user experience... the list jus' goes on and on. I'd be writin' all day if I had the time - but sadly I don't. As an added bonus, the product is made in Serbia - that's a country in South Eastern Europe that I'm very fond of.

**What do you dislike about Semaphore?**

I mean I'm speaking from the management perspective, so I'd say the pricing is a little strong, esp' when you start getting into the higher tiers. But - they're all more or less the same, these CI tools, so basically they're not going down the 'cheap 'n' cheerful' route which is something I respect fully. 

**Recommendations to others considering Semaphore:**

Jus' go for it. 

**What problems is Semaphore solving and how is that benefiting you?**

It speeds up dev no end - meaning more cash for craft beers and team building trips away! Wahey!

  ### 40. SemaphoreCI - The speed we need.

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Varun V. | Android developer, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** May 20, 2018

**What do you like best about Semaphore?**

I have been using different CIs since many months, i have already gone a long path with travis and circle, then i saw SemaphoreCI and i was like, let's try this too, and too my astonishment, semaphore was ez pz to set and a lot faster than the other CIs and the way it shows job log is just perfection.

**What do you dislike about Semaphore?**

Sometimes when the job log gets a bit longer, semaphore fails to show the log of 1 or more of the commands, rest everything is up to the mark, considering the free resources they provide.

**What problems is Semaphore solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I don't have any business, i use semaphore largely to get my android apps and kernels built, they just get built lightning fast, my kernels used to take around 15-20 minutes on travisCi but on semaphore it takes atmost 10 minutes to get compiled and uploaded.


  ### 41. Great service that helps the development team

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Christoph E. | IT Director, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** July 16, 2018

**What do you like best about Semaphore?**

We tried a few different CI services and Semaphore was by far the easiest to setup. When the tests worked in development, they worked on Semaphore. With other services this was not always the case. 
Another great feature is that you can spread out your testing suite over a few different servers that carry out the test suite in parallel. 
Wonderful is also the auto-deploy feature that deploys green builds to AWS.

**What do you dislike about Semaphore?**

When choosing a lot of parallel boxes to run your tests it can get quiet costly.

**What problems is Semaphore solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Continuous testing and continuous deployment. This helped us greatly to improve our development process and roll out more quality code.

  ### 42. Best CI

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Diogo F. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** June 15, 2018

**What do you like best about Semaphore?**

Awesome user experience. Everything about using Semaphore is great. Adding projects, servers, managing teams, etc. It's too often that the user experience is overlooked when dealing with tools that are so heavily trafficked by developers. It's also fast, and always kept up to date, and easy to integrate with other services. I also like their blog articles.

I think what standout in their service is the user experience, everything is easy to do, adding a new project, setting up build settings, adding team members is just easy and often overlooked by others CIs.

**What do you dislike about Semaphore?**

Not much to say here, I don't really dislike anything in particular, I've used other services and nothing compares.

**Recommendations to others considering Semaphore:**

I really think this is the best tool for Continuous integration and deployment, ease of use is the best feature.

**What problems is Semaphore solving and how is that benefiting you?**

For us, it's the flow it creates from pushing to our Github and automatically building an running our tests and linters in semaphore and deploying if everything passes. Just makes an awesome user experience.

  ### 43. Semaphore is the best CI I have worked with

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** David D. | Rails Developer, Computer Software, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** September 14, 2018

**What do you like best about Semaphore?**

It is really quick, compared to SnapCI. The price is quite good. The interface is also good enough. You can SSH to the machines. 

**What do you dislike about Semaphore?**

When you are looking at the master building queue, is not straightforward to know which commits have been deployed. 

**Recommendations to others considering Semaphore:**

Give it a 2 weeks try, it is quite good. 

**What problems is Semaphore solving and how is that benefiting you?**

It manages the CI and deployment. 

  ### 44. The fastest testing service

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Barry H. | Product Manager, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 25, 2018

**What do you like best about Semaphore?**

Semaphore is the fastest service of its kind. This is the main advantage of this service. I can notice an excellent documentation that helped me sort out and solve any problems. I also like the ability to run tests in parallel. And the most important thing is customer support - the fastest response that I ever received. I also liked the ease of setting.

**What do you dislike about Semaphore?**

The main disadvantage is its price, but for this speed is not a big claim. Just a little, not a user-friendly interface. Now it is convenient to work with it, but for the first time, it completely confused me.

**Recommendations to others considering Semaphore:**

This is really the fastest service. You will save quite a bit of time. Try and see for yourself.

**What problems is Semaphore solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We have a large team and several large projects. Parallel execution is just a godsend for us. Since testing takes quite a bit of time, we can run several assemblies and save a lot of time.

  ### 45. Very practical to real world applications

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Ahmad A. | Founder, Computer Software, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 04, 2019

**What do you like best about Semaphore?**

Practical, the option to use only public repos, supports docker 

**What do you dislike about Semaphore?**

It could use to improvement on the usability

**What problems is Semaphore solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Just the importance of automated testing

  ### 46. Semaphore is at the automation level

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Andrew S. | Individual Contributor, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** March 15, 2018

**What do you like best about Semaphore?**

As a full-stack developer, I constantly deal with the need to speed up processes and functions and automate deployments and processes to focus on things that cannot be automated or require creativity. 
Semaphore offers a helpful continuous integration (CI) platform and integrates perfectly with Node.js / React ecosystem I'm currently working. In most cases, developers need to show passed tests, tests as a requirement.

**What do you dislike about Semaphore?**

Concurrency with other automated tools, e.g. one github repo for different tests and functions. After Semaphore, it is difficult to return to manual tasks, and it is necessary to convince everyone else to use it.

**Recommendations to others considering Semaphore:**

You can not say in a few words about practical tool such as Semaphore. It is necessary to read expert articles on specific code topics. Good recommendations from experts. Strongly agree.

**What problems is Semaphore solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Semaphore eases up automated tasks. 

  ### 47. Simple, fast and accept docker-compose.yml

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Bruno T. | Desenvolvedor, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 12, 2018

**What do you like best about Semaphore?**

The speed is awesome, but the mainly fact of accept docker-compose.yml makes me love this CI.

**What do you dislike about Semaphore?**

The UX could be better, the design pass the impression that the product is "amateur", but it's not.

**Recommendations to others considering Semaphore:**

Give then a try, it's really fast.

**What problems is Semaphore solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I have some tests that should be run with a postgresql database and this may run slowly, the fact of accept docker-compose.yml creates a environment exactly mine and save me much time.

  ### 48. Ridiculously fast service testing

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Apparel & Fashion | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 27, 2018

**What do you like best about Semaphore?**

I'm not sure how Semaphore do it, but I can get the fastest docker build + tests phases I've ever seen on a CI platform; It's ridiculously good!

**What do you dislike about Semaphore?**

Sometimes it's hard to find how to do something, and your configuration is mostly kept in Semaphore's UI, but version 2 seems to let you commit your config to your repository instead.

**What problems is Semaphore solving and how is that benefiting you?**

The biggest benefit is being able to run identical tests locally and on semaphore with docker-compose; all of your setup and CI, etc are done just once locally, and then can be run on Semaphore's platform.

  ### 49. Powerful CI

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Leanna W. | IT Consultant, Staffing and Recruiting, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 03, 2018

**What do you like best about Semaphore?**

I have been using different CI for a long time. The configuration of your PC is very important for these services, but the old CI did not use all the power of our server. We had only one problem while using Semaphore and the support worked at the highest level, our problem was solved very quickly. By the way, support is fast as in the paid plan and in the free.

**What do you dislike about Semaphore?**

The base platform of some services is very outdated. I have a problem when installing MySQL, because of obsolete plugins. Until now, there are some important functions that competitors have long had.

**Recommendations to others considering Semaphore:**

The program has an excellent free plan. Support, even for a free plan, works amazingly. The simplicity of service and excellent support make your choice.

**What problems is Semaphore solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Our team moved to Semaphore with CircleCI. We were immediately surprised by the speed of work. Tests are performed almost twice as fast. Now we save a lot of time and concentrate on more important functions.

  ### 50. When you just want to focus on development

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer Software | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** September 29, 2018

**What do you like best about Semaphore?**

I can't really pin down their secret sauce, but their UI approach is just intuitive. I get elements configured quickly and I'm off to the races. Looking at results, and drilling down on build/run problems is quick and easy. I call it my "no drama" measure of how intuitive a cloud CI is to use and Semaphore has it figured out. 

**What do you dislike about Semaphore?**

I'd really like to have some guidance on continuous deployment of my Elixir language projects from Semaphore to Gigalixir PaaS ( https://gigalixir.com/ ). There's nothing out there I can find that provides the steps involved.

**Recommendations to others considering Semaphore:**

Absolutely worth the the time and expense of evaluation

**What problems is Semaphore solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Cloud based CI and deployments
