Senior Project Manager at a consultancy with 10,001+ employees
Time savings have increased daily clients and improve revenue in my chiropractic practice
Technology is always improving, and putting new technology would be an improvement for my job. I feel fine with the actual platform. Depot is a useful tool and there is space for improvement, but I can't figure out what can be done, which is why I chose eight out of ten.

Has supported repository management and demonstrates potential in workflow flexibility
While GitHub Actions offers a range of functionalities, it is newer compared to more established tools such as Jenkins and Azure DevOps. There is still room for improvement, especially in areas concerning deeper capabilities akin to those provided by Jenkins and Azure DevOps. Given the evolving nature of technology, there are potential improvements GitHub Actions can focus on, including enhancing support and reliability to match its competitors.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Depot has positively impacted my organization in an awesome way, and the fact that I can save time gives me the possibility to have more clients during the day, saving at least 20% each day because of Depot."
"It is user-friendly, with clear and organized processes, making it easy to navigate and work with."
"GitHub Actions is a beautiful tool that integrates smoothly with all major tools, reducing CI/CD work by 30% to 40%."
"The most valuable feature of GitHub Actions is the ability to automate various tasks, such as backups and deployments, to ease the development workflow."
"The solution has saved us approximately 20% in terms of efficiency and productivity."
"It saves a lot of time with GitHub Actions; especially, the whole process if done manually might cost us a lot, maybe a week or two weeks just for deployment, but now with automation, we automate the deployment effectively."
"GitHub Actions is valuable for its ease of use and integration."
"GitHub Actions can be easily configured, especially for environment variables and secrets. The UI is understandable and user-friendly for setting up CI/CD pipelines. I prefer tools like GitLab, where the pipeline starts quickly and is accessible near the commits for easy access. However, many CI/CD tools are interchangeable due to similar features of GitHub Actions and other similar tools."
"GitHub Actions helps automate the deployment process, eliminating manual copying and testing, which saves time and minimizes errors."
 

Cons

"Depot is a useful tool and there is space for improvement, but I can't figure out what can be done, which is why I chose eight out of ten."
"In our company, procedures or rules need to be completed, which is not a problem with GitHub Actions but with our process."
"Sometimes it is quite complex to commit code from our local system to the GitHub repository; creating a folder in GitHub can be tedious."
"The UI could be better."
"Sometimes incremental steps should be taken during deployment instead of trying to execute all tasks simultaneously, particularly when dealing with AWS EKS clusters and Helm charts."
"The solution's integration capabilities and UI are areas of concern where improvement is required to make the product more user-friendly."
"GitHub sometimes makes it difficult to debug actions."
"GitHub Actions lacks a feature for automating the build process for mobile applications."
"We can leverage this database tool to manage everything within our environment and data burners, allowing for customization and execution. An additional advantage is the capability to modify aspects like file size, making processes more efficient and faster across the pipelines. Regarding improvements or implementations, I believe there should be enhancements made to the deployment tool. It should be integrated as part of the solution. Infrastructure-wise, we already have tools like GitHub and RobSpot, and data enables us to automate various processes, which is quite beneficial. As for further enhancements, I'm uncertain. I've shared everything I know. However, if there's something specific you'd like to see in future releases, a feature that may not exist yet but would be desirable, I can't provide any input on that matter."
