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.

Improvement in the sense that they can do better in terms of management of logs and stuff like that because the console logs are very extensive, and that causes a lot of storage issues. That is one of the things which is there. Also, with respect to the traditional platform and the modern platform, many things have upgraded, and it has quite improved. But when we talk about the performance of the agents, it’s still very crucial because it’s not up to par. It takes a lot of time to provision the agent and to finish the build because of the SSH connection and the JNLP connection. Due to that, sometimes the agent doesn’t get provisioned. Those are some of the blockers that meet up the time in terms of administering the instance.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Bitrise gives us the full development life cycle automation, and it is very good to use."
"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."
"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."
"CloudBees updates its features frequently, so if we need something like SSL login, they enable it."
"The most beneficial aspect is that CloudBees integrates with everything, like version one, GitHub, and PDM."
"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."
"CloudBees assists by automating tasks, previously done manually, in the pipeline setup."
"The most valuable features are Java features, microservice communication, payment validation, Jenkins Sonar, management master to CloudBees, Blue Ocean, JobConfig, and support."
"CloudBees operates seamlessly. Deploying to a cluster is straightforward—just one click, and the job is done."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is that its GUI is quite simple."
"I find the automation feature most valuable. CloudBees is highly scalable and supports both small and large teams. The deployment process is also faster when compared to on-premise."
 

Cons

"One improvement Bitrise can have is enhanced debugging tools for analyzing failed builds."
"The improvement I would suggest for Bitrise is that the cost is significantly the friction point."
"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."
"There could be improvements in the ease of use."
"A lot of stability issues are there with CloudBees."
"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."
"I think a preview of the errors would be good just at the point where the error occurs."
"We've noticed occasional issues with folder permissions changing unexpectedly. Specifically, permissions sometimes shift from the CloudBees user to the root user. This can cause pipeline failures, as pipelines require the correct CloudBees user permissions to execute properly."
"The problem with CloudBees is that when you merge it, the pipelines would randomly fail multiple times."
"I noticed that CloudBees runs too slowly because some applications run more than 50 pipelines."
