Before Codefresh, we had to plan the strategy, write the configuration file, and run everything; it used to take two to three days to plan and implement, but now it is a one-time job, so it can be done in ten to fifteen minutes, which has reduced a lot of time and sped up the automation and CI/CD, requiring fewer employees.

Compared to other general-purpose CI tools such as Jenkins, what really stands out for me is how Codefresh fits into a containerized, Kubernetes-based workflow.

While using Codefresh, I still don't see many downsides, but I would say the UI performance with large logs is an area for improvement.

The reason it is not a ten is because our developers who do not have Kubernetes and Docker knowledge cannot use Codefresh easily, and the configuration file we have to write is very complex, requiring prior knowledge of Kubernetes and Docker-based deployments.

I would recommend Codefresh to improve the audit log scaling because if you are going with massive enterprise applications, then they need audit logs that should be provided by them.
