70 Codefresh Reviews
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
I love that Codefresh is so flexible and able to do whatever I need it to. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The UI is pretty nice to use, but there a few options that could be a little easier to find/use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

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.

There have been a lot of service downtimes recently. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
