Semaphore is cost effective and easy to configure. Any time that we need support, we usually have a response within minutes and a resolution within a day. Plus, there are easy to use debug tools so we can dive into any problems we may have.

It's cheap, it's easy to understand and the suppport team is quick to assist if you need help. We've previously used CircleCI which we found to be the opposite of all these. The UI is also modern and you easily get to what you want. The deployments feature is something I've been searching long and hard for, but haven't found anything else without severely impacting simplicity/ease-of-use. We use Semaphore CI every day, and perform 10+ releases a day to our environments and we have not had any problems yet. It was also very easy to get started as we just connected our GitHub Org, imported the relevant users and got to work on the pipeline files. That step was also a lot easier thanks to the graphical interface which guides you a little bit while you're getting used to the format. Honestly after trying GitHub Actions, CircleCI, Octopus, Jenkins, and more, this clearly stands out to me as the better option.

Semaphore was easy to get started with and is one of the lower priced CI/CD platforms. When I need access to beta features or my usage triggered abuse detection, support was quick to respond and helpful.
