What do you like best about Codefresh?

You can implement pretty much anything you can think of, by using custom steps. Steps allow us to modularize our existing pipelines, making it an almost "plug and play" model. Their support team is always on top of our questions and always willing to help, which makes the entire experience very pleasent. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Codefresh?

Its frustrating when first starting out. The available documentations are quite weak, contains incorrect information, especially when developing custom steps. The documentations need to cover a lot more information, and need to be revised to contain accurate info, and remove inaccurate ones. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We were looking to utilize containers and kubernetes, which would make our pipelines more dynamic and generic. With Codefresh, since everything runs in an image, this provides us with incredible flexibility. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Codefresh?

The most helpful thing about Codefresh is its ease of use. I am able to hand off the writing off pipelines to the development teams and empower them to write what they need through VCS. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Codefresh?

The documentation at times might be missing a particular use case, what we need can usually be found in a blog. It's a minimal issue and 95% of the time the documentation covers what we're looking to do. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Codefresh:

What I like about Codefresh is that it's a user friendly, batteries included tool. Automating around our dockerized tooling is a snap. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We use Codefresh as our pipeline and automation workhorse. For instance using Github label triggers to spawn a sandbox environment for a pull request. Or another example would be a scheduled pipeline to run regression tests. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Codefresh?

There are a lot of great tools in our CI/CD chain these days, some SaaS, some FOSS, and the list continues to grow and change as our requirements evolve. What we have been looking for is a way to unify and integrate them all, with a solid dashboard that is usable even at 3am with sleep in your eyes. Codefresh is quickly becoming that unifying tool for our builds. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Codefresh?

So far we have found very little to dislike about this product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

* Unified dashboard over all build and deploy activities, no matter where they are

* Quickly adding integrations for security related steps

* Source of truth for what is running where (release level) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Codefresh?

We deploy two countries with Codefresh.

It's very easy to play with it to deploy in Kubernetes and Helm clusters.

He helps use to manage some Helm release in our cluster easily.

We love the powerful system of pieplines.

It's possible to create a global pipeline to trigger some others pipelines.

For example ; we have a French and a Spanish countries and when we want to deploy on each countries, we just trigger the global pipeline that triggers parallelly the two others, FR and ES.

All of our pipelines are stored in a Git repository and it's easy to manage pipelines.

We have a trigger on each pipeline to re run the jobs when the pipeline is changed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Codefresh?

A simple clean dashboard to rollback for our developpers.

Because, the view to rollback is very complex for a bew young developper.

I think that a simple button to rollback is no a very feature to add to Codefresh because this feature aleardy exists. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Codefresh:

Let's go guys! It's an amazin tool and I'm sure that you're not disappointed.

The tool is fun and cool and the team is very acceccible.

I recommend because even the pricing is fair. The platform is stable and we had never problem.

The system of mounting file or directory is a very good and practice idea. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We love our CI part but unfortunately for the CD part we had nothing... Until the amazing was Codefresh arrive! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Codefresh?

The pipeline setup is simple and intuitive. Best performance , caching simply works without the need for complex setup. And the pipeline debugger is an X-Factor.

Integrates seamlessly with kubernetes and allows us to track commits all the way downstream to the running pods... Lastly, the UI is refreshing and keeps getting better. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Codefresh?

Missing some automated migration into the platform Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We significantly reduce the cost of our CI/CD maintenance. Much faster builds (faster feedback to engineering). We have a full audit on changes happening to our production, what has changed who changed etc.. saves TONS of time when issues arise Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Codefresh?

I looked far and wide for a replacement for Jenkins in an effort to update our pipelines and increase team engagement. Codefresh was the clear winner. Codefresh pipelines are easy to build and have a ton of great features with more coming out all the time. Their build optimizations help keep teams moving forward and not sitting around waiting on builds. They have been very responsive to any and all requests including technical support and feature requests. Codefresh supports our container workloads as well as serverless for both CI and CD. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Codefresh?

I dislike the Jenkins jobs we haven't migrated yet. :)

The codefresh UI used to be a bit slow, but it's improved a lot. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Codefresh:

Codefresh is ideal for container-based workflows. Modern pipelines run in containers and your toolset is installed via Docker build. Codefresh gives you caching to speed up your builds. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We had a real problem with a lack of reusability and engagement in messy copy-paste pipelines. Codefresh yaml is easy to grasp quickly and we can create our own reusable steps. Our development teams really like working with Codefresh and are largely self-sufficient. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The pipelines are easy to write and are helping us a lot. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Codefresh?

As non-owner, sometimes are kind of hard to understanding how, where and when secrets are defined.

Also, another times, our heaviest builds takes a lot of time to finish. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's a intuitive and efficient platform to begin with CI/CD, but this doesn't mean that complex workloads cannot be Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We are build several images, testing and some deploys to, but we want to make more use on Codefresh.

Our pipelines are getting prettier and our test team are anxious to work with the automated environment.

Our deploy still messy, but Codefresh is helping us to get it straight. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Codefresh?

Apart from a stunning and easy to use UI and packed with tons of features, we liked how Codefresh works with containerization and Kubernetes in mind. Another helpful capability was the ability to define custom steps that can be reused in numerous pipelines. That significantly simplifies building custom pipelines (especially if following GitOps like pattern).

Even though Codefresh was very well documented, we also got tremendous help from support. The team was very responsive, both for the free and paid plans. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Codefresh?

Hard to answer. Codefresh was the choice for CI/CD pipelines for two of my projects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Codefresh:

Definitely worth a try! Works well for us. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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