GitOps control plane has transformed deployments and now enables proactive Kubernetes visibility
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. When a complex pipeline generates a high volume of logs, the user interface can occasionally become sluggish, jittery, or take extra seconds to render. The only downside I would say is the UI experience and its smoothness. Although the visibility into Kubernetes is excellent, I would love to see out-of-the-box cost optimization metrics. Argo CD knows how a pod is performing, its status, and its state. There should be some kind of cost optimization metrics shown on the GitOps application where we could save money or perhaps reduce the resources of a particular pod application. One improvement I would say is a promotion process between environments, from lower to upper environment. Currently, the model with complex promotion logic such as specific concurrency strategies or smart rollbacks when multiple commits hit at once can feel quite manual. I would like to see more automated promotion gates that can handle multi-cluster dependencies without needing as much custom YAML configuration.

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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Codefresh has positively impacted my organization; it has been amazing."
"Since switching to Codefresh, our organization has definitely seen approximately a 30 percent reduction in deployment times."
"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."
"Codefresh has helped save time, reduce errors, and improve collaboration across teams."
"Depot has positively impacted our organization by ensuring that everything works fully, which makes other clients really happy."
"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."
 

Cons

"Codefresh can be improved with more capability inside the GCP ecosystem."
"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."
"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 challenge that we faced with Codefresh is that it is a complex setup."
"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."
"However, they need improvement with older servers due to storage space issues, which prevents me from giving a perfect score of ten."
