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.

IAM workflows have streamlined secure access to websites and magazines for new users
I think Depot can be improved by updating an old website I can refer to as Cognitune, where we create and manage aspects such as new managers needing access. Improving this tool to a new version would make us really happy. For now, updating that old tool is the main area for improvement; everything else is acceptable. On a scale of one to ten, I rate Depot a nine. I choose nine out of ten because, in terms of security architecture, it is really good. However, they need improvement with older servers due to storage space issues, which prevents me from giving a perfect score of ten.

Pros

"The faster deployment with Bitrise allows us to get to the market quickly, enabling us to receive feedback from clients rapidly, test our application internally, and deliver more robust solutions efficiently."
"Bitrise gives us the full development life cycle automation, and it is very good to use."
"Bitrise has positively impacted my organization by helping me reduce time by around 50% or more while I am using it for my personal project."
"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."
"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 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."
"Bitrise has positively impacted our organization by improving release speed."
"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."
"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."
"Depot has positively impacted our organization by ensuring that everything works fully, which makes other clients really happy."
 

Cons

"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."
"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."
"I think Bitrise could be improved if it was easier to generate Android QA and iOS at the same time."
"Bitrise is sometimes stable, and sometimes I experience problems with Bitrise."
"Sometimes the builds fail, and the error messages that I get are not very descriptive."
"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."
"They need to add some extra documentation for how to use the parameters, such as variables, where to add them, and how to use them below the workflow."
"However, they need improvement with older servers due to storage space issues, which prevents me from giving a perfect score of ten."
"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."
