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.
Rusira Sathnindu - PeerSpot reviewer
Automation Engineer at a tech services company with 1-10 employees
AI coding has accelerated our feature delivery and has transformed how our team builds services
I have been noticing recently that Cursor introduced their own model, which is pretty limited; it is very fast, but it is not smart. They might have to improve that, along with the agent selection methodology. When you select auto, you expect it to use the best agent possible and think of the money savings, but it does not always work as expected, sometimes providing bad code or code that has bugs. I think the auto mode selection can improve. Another concern is the pricing; we have been paying a lot for Cursor recently, which I feel has increased within the last few months, possibly due to our usage going up. We are paying an amount similar to a developer's salary for Cursor now. I believe all the needed improvements are primarily around the auto agent selection mode and pricing. If they could be more transparent about it, that would be appreciated. We only see the bill at the end of the month, and it is often a high amount, so transparency in the pricing would be very helpful for us as developers.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I can share that after using Bitrise, we have seen a time savings of fifty percent."
"We can react to any customer requests and deliver when there is a new feature or bug fix, quickly spin up the build, and then have it available for external testers on Play Console or in App Store Connect."
"Choosing the machines and using workflow recipes in Bitrise just speeds up and frees developers' time, so even managers or testers themselves can choose the flavors and create builds for specific apps."
"Bitrise has positively impacted my organization because previously we used to generate builds on our local machine, which was very time-consuming, and now all the build generation and the automation execution are directly done on Bitrise, and the automation execution is triggered from Bitrise to AWS Device Farm."
"Previously, we used to take one day to deploy the application, but now in thirteen to twenty minutes through our automation and with the help of Bitrise's flexibilities, we deploy the application."
"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."
"Since I started using Bitrise, the development time, specifically the time that I spend on sharing these builds and handling the release process, is significantly reduced."
"Bitrise has positively impacted my organization because at that time there was no automation in our Android and iOS releases; it saved a lot of time and eliminated many human errors that were happening earlier, and we were able to ship code and features faster to production."
"Previously, tasks that would take weeks or months can now be completed within days because of these AI tools."
"Cursor positively impacts my organization by providing great feasibility and better reliability, enabling faster development processes."
 

Cons

"I think Bitrise could be improved if it was easier to generate Android QA and iOS at the same time."
"The improvement I would suggest for Bitrise is that the cost is significantly the friction point."
"Bitrise can be improved by offering a more customizable dashboard, faster troubleshooting for failed builds, and more advanced cost visibility for pipeline usage."
"In 2019, Bitrise was very new in the market, so there were many bugs and errors."
"Bitrise can be improved by offering a more customizable dashboard, faster troubleshooting for failed builds, and more advanced cost visibility for pipeline usage."
"The only downside I have to mention about my main use case is that debugging a failed build can sometimes be time-consuming, and whenever the build fails, it becomes expensive for the larger projects."
"Bitrise can be improved because it is quite expensive at the moment."
"As for Bitrise's AI capabilities, the accuracy and reliability of output were not that good. Most of the time, it redirected me to a human or advised me to open a ticket, so it was not really useful."
"Another concern is the pricing; we have been paying a lot for Cursor recently, which I feel has increased within the last few months, possibly due to our usage going up."
"Sometimes Cursor does get stuck, which should be addressed, though the UI remains very good."
