Featured Reviews

Mansoor-Mohammed - PeerSpot reviewer
SRE at a consultancy with 11-50 employees
Weekly mobile releases have become reliable and pipeline incidents have dropped dramatically
The improvement I would suggest for Bitrise is that the cost is significantly the friction point. Mac build machines are considerably more expensive than Linux equivalents. As our team has grown, the monthly bills have scaled accordingly with limited room to optimize without reducing concurrency. The self-hosted runner option was evaluated as a potential cost-saving measure, but the documentation and tooling for it are still less mature than the cloud product. Build debugging remains a log parsing exercise. There is no interactive debugging session or live SSH access into a failing build environment, which would be a meaningful productive improvement. The analytics dashboard is very minimal and basic and lacks the depth that anyone would want for capacity planning and trend analysis.
KishoreKumar4 - PeerSpot reviewer
Senior Qe Lead at Cognizant
Consistent automation has improved deployments and supports efficient client-facing workflows
Deployment and other processes are feasible for me, making this a smooth process. The integration part is good. We can use multiple things by integrating with CI/CD pipelines, and this is very feasible for us. This allows us to do our work easily. The productivity is very good. CloudBees is a good and efficient tool. We can work in client-facing scenarios, and since clients have provided these types of tools, we are able to work on them effectively.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"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."
"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."
"Bitrise gives us the full development life cycle automation, and it is very good to use."
"Bitrise has positively impacted my organization by helping me reduce time by around 50% or more while I am using it for my personal project."
"Bitrise has had a significant positive impact on my organization because we do not have any other platform to realize these builds and deploys with mobile apps."
"Bitrise has positively impacted our organization by improving release speed."
"Bitrise gives us the full development life cycle automation, and it is very good to use."
"It’s a very good tool for auditing your project pipelines as well."
"The most beneficial aspect is that CloudBees integrates with everything, like version one, GitHub, and PDM."
"It can manage multiple Jenkins instances."
"The security audit product offered by CloudBees is particularly beneficial in automating audit processes, which reduces the time developers spend on audits."
"One recent product feature that stands out is the pipeline explorer, which is providing significant value for us right now."
"CloudBees assists by automating tasks, previously done manually, in the pipeline setup."
"CloudBees is a user-friendly tool."
"CloudBees is the Jenkins tool for building and deploying. There's open-source Jenkins, which is free and can be used by any organization, but it offers a different architecture for Jenkins. If your organization is larger, you might choose the architecture. This way, you can have different masters for different applications, and different teams can manage their masters separately. However, a single person can still control all the masters, whoever manages it for the organization."
 

Cons

"The improvement I would suggest for Bitrise is that the cost is significantly the friction point."
"They need to add some extra documentation for how to use the parameters, such as variables, where to add them, and how to use them below the workflow."
"I think Bitrise could be improved if it was easier to generate Android QA and iOS at the same time."
"Bitrise is sometimes stable, and sometimes I experience problems with Bitrise."
"One improvement Bitrise can have is enhanced debugging tools for analyzing failed builds."
"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."
"One improvement Bitrise can have is enhanced debugging tools for analyzing failed builds."
"The platform could integrate better with other tools and support external tools directly."
"Sometimes, there are performance issues, however, they may be due to our organization's configuration."
"We did face some challenges, particularly with the infrastructure."
"A lot of stability issues are there with CloudBees."
"For CloudBees, I can suggest that the log is very high, which is very hectic for us when trying to find which error is coming."
"To use the tool, you need to be familiar with the tool itself and with how it will be incorporated into the culture."
"The problem with CloudBees is that when you merge it, the pipelines would randomly fail multiple times."
"If you're logged in and working for about thirty minutes and then go idle for five to ten minutes, Jenkins will prompt you to re-authenticate."
