Codefresh has a fresh approach towards CI/CD, its quite easy and intuitive to build pipelines
What do you like best about the product?
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.

What do you dislike about the product?
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.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Codefresh is used to deploy dynamic environments for our company on GKE, it runs the jobs that trigger builds for building docker images on every PR and then provisioning a new staging environment.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you are considering a new CI/CD solution try code fresh it will most probably suit your needs.
A nice and easy to use product.
What do you like best about the product?
Codefresh is a nice service, helping us with integration tests and deployments without hassle.
First plans are affordable and being able to tune the hardware required for the builds is a nice feature.

What do you dislike about the product?
I miss the ability to clean some builds, when they fail they keep showing in the history even though they were just tests.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It made our deployments faster and is really easy to integrate with GCP.
Easy to setup and configure
What do you like best about the product?
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.
What do you dislike about the product?
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!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Codefresh has given us control over our pipelines again and the visual layout of the pipeline has radically increased transparency into the steps that a build goes through.
We've been missing test and lint artifacting since leaving Jenkins and TeamCity behind, but with the direct integration with Allure Codefresh is going to give that back to us.

I forgot about Jenkins when I started Codefresh
What do you like best about the product?
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!
What do you dislike about the product?
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.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our CICD process is combined with Github action and Codefresh. We have been using it for about 6 months. The benefit is the stability. It made our release process very smooth. Staging? Prod? No problem just one click away or by scheduled.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you are using Jenkins, and then it is giving you headache, you should try Codefresh. It'll change your perspective about CICD!
An incredibly flexible CICD platform
What do you like best about the product?
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.
What do you dislike about the product?
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.
What problems is the product 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.
Room for growth but easy to grasp
What do you like best about the product?
Container/cloud eccentric - easy to use.
What do you dislike about the product?
A bit too emphasized on k8s workloads....
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Developing common reusable pipelines for software developers and infrastructure engineers. Benefits so far have been it's been a fairly intuitive product so its easy to get up and going without much complexity.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Be fully invested into container workloads
Developer friendly, easy to use.
What do you like best about the product?
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.
What do you dislike about the product?
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.
What problems is the product 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.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
What I like about Codefresh is that it's a user friendly, batteries included tool. Automating around our dockerized tooling is a snap.
Most advanced and intuitive CI/CD. Maximum value with minimum effort
What do you like best about the product?
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.

What do you dislike about the product?
Missing some automated migration into the platform
What problems is the product 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
Tons of integrations and an excellent dashboard for CI
What do you like best about the product?
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.
What do you dislike about the product?
So far we have found very little to dislike about this product.
What problems is the product 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)

Makes my deployment easier
What do you like best about the product?
The UI gives more context to my clusters and pods and the product gives seemeless integration for auto deployment, and notifies me of failures. So, its a complete poackage and I highly recomend the product.
What do you dislike about the product?
The loading times can be improved, and I have faced some down times at late night deployments.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am solving my release management problems.
