Senior Project Manager at a consultancy with 10,001+ employees
Time savings have increased daily clients and improve revenue in my chiropractic practice
Technology is always improving, and putting new technology would be an improvement for my job. I feel fine with the actual platform. 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.

Has supported repository management and demonstrates potential in workflow flexibility
While GitHub Actions offers a range of functionalities, it is newer compared to more established tools such as Jenkins and Azure DevOps. There is still room for improvement, especially in areas concerning deeper capabilities akin to those provided by Jenkins and Azure DevOps. Given the evolving nature of technology, there are potential improvements GitHub Actions can focus on, including enhancing support and reliability to match its competitors.

Cons

"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."
"The main challenge I've experienced is with integration, particularly uploading to OneDrive, which was more complex compared to Google Drive or AWS S3 bucket."
"The primary area for improvement I see is in artifact management, especially for saving screenshots or videos from failed tests or data-driven actions. Currently, the configuration for saving these artifacts is complex."
"Switching between hosted and self-hosted agents can be a bit complex, as self-hosted agents need to be provisioned in platforms like Azure or AWS."

"My company would want to see some AI features in the tool as it can add value to the product."

"There is a part that detects outdated libraries. If that feature could be more intuitive and informative, that would be nice."
