70 Codefresh Reviews
All the integrations are really easy to do, at the moment I'm the only one working on Codefresh and it was not hard at all to implement everything by myselfc everything is well documented. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Terraform provider is a little outdated, that's my only point, I can't create everything I want using terraform itself, I think codefresh should invest a little bit of time working on that one. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The Kubernetes first-class integration makes it easier to adopt a "per branch" continuous delivery deployment. This powerful feature can be leveraged together with the templating features and pipeline variables to really standardize and simplify CI/CD across an organisation.

Although it is possible to create triggers for the pipelines from the UI, triggers are a relevant part of CI/CD pipelines configuration and they should be defined as code and versioned as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Codefresh pipelines make sense. The YAML configuration and project/pipeline layout are very intuitive, and their documentation is overall pretty great. The pricing model is simple and upfront.
Pipelines and steps are very customizable, and running them with conditionals or parallel makes them super customizable. The web interface is excellent for writing proof of concept pipelines and testing them; then, you can commit them to a repo and tie the source to a branch to have it sourced from your repo.
Secrets management is a breeze, and being able to pass in different shared configurations based on what git triggers fire is beneficial in creating simple pipelines.
Connecting to k8s is well documented, and I quickly added the necessary configuration into my terraform code to have it be part of my infrastructure as code. Having the configuration profiles available at all steps is very convienent.
Their sales and support teams are great and very responsive to feedback and concerns. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
There's not much to not like about codefresh - the worst for me is that there are a few minor UI bugs that constantly reoccur that you must know about, or else it will cause you headaches with unexpected outcomes.
Caching is excellent in that it is handled for you automatically. Still, it can sometimes be bad as running multiple instances of the same pipeline can result in the new runs not using the cached resources. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
UI + all the flexibility to add custom steps + the marketplace Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The documentation sometimes is a bit misleading and you end up needing to ask questions on the forum Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I like that it is container-based, easy to use 3rd party and internal container registries. The YAML format for pipeline specification is also something that should come naturally to any DevOps person. I have found the documentation to be excellent. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I have run into some stability issues with CodeFresh. I could not start my pipeline (containers were not getting started up). I had to contact customer support during my evaluation to put me into a different tier to see my containers running. It set me back by a day on my work that I did not expect. I would check on SLA before signing up for a full service.
It is somewhat confusing how you can sidecar some services.
There are no examples on how you could leverage 3rd party cloud services to reach apps deployed within the pipeline. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Simplicity and usability. It is easy to use. Easy to integrate with the Cloud services like AWS or Azure. The turnaround on the tech support questions or issues is quick. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
1. The error handling is not the best.
2. It requires extra steps to adapt to our development process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The most helpful feature I loved about Codefresh is how easy it is to connect your project from Github and how automated it can get with running the builds. Using it for work makes everything so much easier to track because as soon as a change has been committed a build is run and we get instantly get notified about the status of the build. Another very helpful part is the documentation which is amazing, and I found it very detailed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
In general, I don't have anything in particular that I dislike. Everything about the UI is pretty intuitive and easy to follow. I have noticed a few stability issues once in a while, but these were fixed very quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The ease of use, setup, and simple integration with our AWS ECR Docker containers. Deployment is simplified across our environments. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
So far everything has worked very well, no dislikes to mention at this time.
The only question we have might be cost vs Github Actions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
