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.

Testing against multiple run times, versions, and environments is a plus point
We are using Shippable to automate our CI/CD, so we (and our developers) can focus on our core business.  Shippable has tremendously increased our product and features delivery by at least three times. The platform has some amazing features and the integration option makes it very simple to plug…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"GitHub Actions is valuable for its ease of use and integration."
"We can trigger files manually or automate processes."
"It is user-friendly, with clear and organized processes, making it easy to navigate and work with."
"It saves a lot of time with GitHub Actions; especially, the whole process if done manually might cost us a lot, maybe a week or two weeks just for deployment, but now with automation, we automate the deployment effectively."
"The product's most beneficial feature is the ability to create workflows within the solution."
"It improves efficiency as it involves no downtime and is managed by GitHub."
"I find the automation feature of GitHub Actions most valuable for our building processes. It integrates seamlessly with GitHub, so there's no extra configuration needed, making the building process easy and efficient. GitHub Actions handles scalability well, automatically managing execution infrastructure without requiring additional configurations. We haven't yet explored GitHub Actions' support for AI projects, as we haven't used its AI capabilities."
"GitHub Actions provides workflows that allow for process automation, enabling operations such as build, deploy, and scale applications."
"Shippable has tremendously increased our product and features delivery by at least three times."
"Testing against multiple run times, versions, and environments is a plus point with the additional pipelines making it more interesting to see what is happening across your development process in a single pane of glass."
"The platform has some amazing features and the integration option makes it very simple to plug with any of our favorite tools."
 

Cons

"The only issue I have faced is with authorization, particularly when configuring the GitHub token correctly."
"In terms of improvements, I think better logging for debugging purposes would be helpful, especially for complex workflows."
"The reporting capabilities are somewhat limited."
"The minor drawback of GitHub Actions is the management of the dashboard and pipeline runs, which needs improvement. The dashboard for running pipelines could be better."
"The solution's integration capabilities and UI are areas of concern where improvement is required to make the product more user-friendly."
"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."
"We still use Jenkins for some tasks, which suggests there may be areas for improvement in GitHub Actions."
"The pricing is high for the advanced security; GitHub Advanced Security for us is quite pricey."
"They could work on reducing the number of permissions required while using Bitbucket."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is free and open platform, so I would rate it 1 out of 10."
"For our basic usage, we didn't have to pay."
"Price-wise, GitHub Actions is okay. If I want to use the product's advanced features, then I need to pay the licensing charges for the solution."
"The tool's price is okay and reasonable."
"The product is slightly more expensive than some alternatives."
"It's low-priced. Not high, but definitely low."
"The cost for GitHub Actions may be around $45 dollars per user."
"Regarding cost, as an enterprise, we negotiate our license and expenses, so I can't provide a specific rating for that."
"The pricing is the cheapest compared to the other platforms out there."
