Within three months of going live on Bitrise, we moved to weekly releases, and now we have a reliable hotfix pipeline that can ship a production build within 45 minutes to an hour of a fix being merged.

Around time saved, I think is where we got the best return on investment with Bitrise because our build process went from taking hours to 20 minutes or even faster.

Previously, we used to take one day to deploy the application, but now in thirteen to twenty minutes through our automation and with the help of Bitrise's flexibilities, we deploy the application.

With Bitrise, as a team of 10 to 12 people, we are able to independently generate the build and save overall 20 to 40 hours per day.

Since I started using Bitrise, the development time, specifically the time that I spend on sharing these builds and handling the release process, is significantly reduced.

Bitrise has positively impacted my organization because previously we used to generate builds on our local machine, which was very time-consuming, and now all the build generation and the automation execution are directly done on Bitrise, and the automation execution is triggered from Bitrise to AWS Device Farm.

Bitrise gives us the full development life cycle automation, and it is very good to use.

I can share that after using Bitrise, we have seen a time savings of fifty percent.
 

Bitrise Cons review quotes

The improvement I would suggest for Bitrise is that the cost is significantly the friction point.
Dhruv Vaghasiya - PeerSpot reviewer
DevOps Engineer at Titanslab Inc.

Bitrise can be improved by offering a more customizable dashboard, faster troubleshooting for failed builds, and more advanced cost visibility for pipeline usage.

The only thing that might be an impact if you are an American company is that most of their team is based in Europe, so for critical feedback or bug resolution that requires an architect from their side, you might need to wait until the next day or use European hours, but they always have someone on call.

As for Bitrise's AI capabilities, the accuracy and reliability of output were not that good. Most of the time, it redirected me to a human or advised me to open a ticket, so it was not really useful.

The biggest improvement I would say is that in the workflow, we have a plugin script, and that script window is dynamic.

Bitrise has to work more on the error part. Sometimes I face issues when I trigger a build to generate, and I get a build failed without getting the proper log, which sometimes makes the user too annoyed.

Sometimes the builds fail, and the error messages that I get are not very descriptive.

Bitrise can be improved because it has limited debugging capabilities. If there is an error in build generation, it is somewhat difficult to debug what exactly the error is.
Samruddhi Patil - PeerSpot reviewer

One improvement Bitrise can have is enhanced debugging tools for analyzing failed builds.
KD

The only downside I have to mention about my main use case is that debugging a failed build can sometimes be time-consuming, and whenever the build fails, it becomes expensive for the larger projects.
