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.

The biggest advantage is how simple the technology was.
I'd like to see OpenLegacy develop its low-code/no-code (LCNC) solutions. They've expanded somewhat their horizons for integration beyond mainframe CICS, which is their sweet spot. They have some tooling in that area, but it's not as good as it needs to be. OpenLegacy handles the bread-and-butter TP monitoring stuff, but I am working for one of the six banks in the United States still using the Hogan mainframe, which has a slightly proprietary mechanism. But OpenLegacy currently doesn't have a connector for Hogan. So it would help if they could build one. That would appeal to financial institutions that still use Hogan, like US Bank, Wells Fargo, KeyBank, and Vanguard.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Bitrise has positively impacted our organization by improving release speed."
"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."
"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 positively impacted my organization because we can build applications more easily."
"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."
"I can share that after using Bitrise, we have seen a time savings of fifty percent."
"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."
"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."
"The product has helped our business by allowing us to become more efficient in data handling."
"Using mainframe programs (not screens), the OpenLegacy services do not require any changes by the mainframe programmers, thus reducing development cycles."
"It is possible to connect a service to a mainframe program or back transaction in a matter of minutes or hours at the most."
"The speed of development of production, especially in specific environments like IBM mainframes, has been valuable."
"Using OpenLegacy, the exposure of services is far easier and quicker. In many cases, exposure of services requires just a few clicks and takes only minutes. In very complex cases, it still only takes half a day. Without OpenLegacy, it would take us several months to create the same services."
"OpenLegacy provides a way to go from the outside world to the legacy mainframe, to move the old standard application to a REST API application. New digital services can be created in a few clicks and this can be done easily by COBOL programmers."
"The biggest advantage of OpenLegacy was how simple the technology was, and we were able to build out the OpenLegacy parts very quickly, putting together a couple hundred APIs in six months."
"It is possible to solve larger legacy API issues on an enterprise level with this product."
 

Cons

"Bitrise is sometimes stable, and sometimes I experience problems with Bitrise."
"In 2019, Bitrise was very new in the market, so there were many bugs and errors."
"Price-wise, I can tell that Bitrise could offer discounts."
"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 by offering a more customizable dashboard, faster troubleshooting for failed builds, and more advanced cost visibility for pipeline usage."
"Bitrise can be improved because it has limited debugging capabilities. If there is an error in build generation, it is somewhat difficult to debug what exactly the error is."
"I think it could probably be higher, but we probably are not using all the features and functionalities of Bitrise ourselves, so it's hard to give a higher number because I think more features could be done with it, but we are just not using it."
"Sometimes the builds fail, and the error messages that I get are not very descriptive."
"Customer support for the product is slow and not very good. It makes using the product difficult if you need help quickly."
"Debugging and logging for programmers could be better."
"We would also be more than happy if the product had the option to work in the opposite direction – the ability to consume REST/SOW services in the outer world from the mainframe."
"The pricing of the solution could be more flexible and allow for once-off payment versus annual licensing. This would be more appealing to companies in Latin America."
"I would like to see SSL out-of-the-box. OpenLegacy certainly does SSL, but it was not the default for our use case. We are currently working with OpenLegacy to cross the SSL bridge and suspect that most users will want to do the same."
"I'd like to see OpenLegacy develop its low-code/no-code (LCNC) solutions. They've expanded somewhat their horizons for integration beyond mainframe CICS, which is their sweet spot. They have some tooling in that area, but it's not as good as it needs to be."
