Rafath Noor - PeerSpot reviewer
Lead DevOps Engineer at a tech services company with 1-10 employees
Automated pipelines have improved deployment speed and collaboration across multiple environments
I appreciate that GitHub Actions provides environments and secrets management. We can have a separate pipeline for a separate environment and configure those settings. We can also configure the secrets and variables for separate environments, which is a useful way to run those pipelines and pass the secrets without exposing them on the pipelines. From a workflow perspective, we can see the logs and inspect the build stages, which provides helpful visibility. We were able to use reusable workflows across our organization with GitHub Actions, allowing us to segregate the workflows based on our needs and run only the necessary steps while passing information between them. GitHub Actions features allow us to customize the runners, which I appreciate very much. The AI capabilities of GitHub Actions are satisfactory as long as it has up-to-date AI details. The governance provides transparency with auditing, so we can see what's happening. It includes data encryption, which we are satisfied with, and we can customize security features as well. The accuracy of GitHub Actions is 100% accurate, which is fine and works well.

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 has positively impacted our organization by improving collaboration between our teams, reducing downtime, and decreasing the time we spend on deployments."
"The most valuable feature of GitHub Actions is the ability to automate various tasks, such as backups and deployments, to ease the development workflow."
"We can trigger files manually or automate processes."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is that it is a good product that offers stability and performance."
"The most valuable feature of GitHub Actions is that it is completely free, can be integrated with different environments and cloud providers supporting all major cloud providers, and improves efficiency as it involves no downtime and is managed by GitHub."
"Creating workflows in YAML format is straightforward and easy to comprehend. This includes both understanding and writing workflows. Additionally, the downloading aspect for third-party instances can also be easily done. It's worth noting that vulnerability analysis and similar tasks should be part of our automation through data workflows. Furthermore, we can break down our processes step by step, starting from building, then moving on to analysis, testing, and finally deploying in production and the clear environment. All of these tasks can be efficiently managed within this platform."
"GitHub Actions is a beautiful tool that integrates smoothly with all major tools, reducing CI/CD work by 30% to 40%."
"GitHub Actions provides workflows that allow for process automation, enabling operations such as build, deploy, and scale applications."
"The platform has some amazing features and the integration option makes it very simple to plug with any of our favorite tools."
"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."
 

Cons

"My company would want to see some AI features in the tool as it can add value to the product."
"GitHub Actions lacks a feature for automating the build process for mobile applications."
"GitHub sometimes makes it difficult to debug actions."
"There is a part that detects outdated libraries. If that feature could be more intuitive and informative, that would be nice."
"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."
"The main improvement would be to add support for more programming languages and frameworks."
"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."
"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."
"They could work on reducing the number of permissions required while using Bitbucket."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

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