The UI is colorful, but the user experience must be improved
We can see all the pipelines with a simple search. The UI is colorful. The user experience is very rich. The product is very easy to learn if we know a bit of the basics. If we have someone to show us how to use it, it is very easy.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"GoCD's open-source nature is valuable."
"The most notable aspect is its user interface, which we find to be user-friendly and straightforward for deploying and comprehending pipelines. We have the ability to create multiple pipelines, and in addition to that, the resource consumption is impressive."
"Permission separations mean that we can grant limited permissions for each team or team member."
"It has a user-friendly interface, which for free and open-source tools, the UI is really amazing and simple."
"The UI is colorful."
"In terms of value added it has more than achieved everything we wanted from it and more."
"After we switched to GO, each team can set-up their own delivery pipeline and run it themselves."
"The Parasoft Concerto has enabled the company's test teams to automate the most common and trivial tests which is saving time and delivering consistency."
"Complete test management tool."
"Customizable dashboards show how healthy the project is and task distribution ensures every team member gets notified about their performance and no one gets lost in what to do."
"It really helps developers execute scenarios through DTP and share reports/results across the teams."
"The most valuable feature is code coverage."
 

Cons

"The aspect that requires attention is the user management component. When integrating with BitLabs and authenticating through GitLab, there are specific features we desire. One important feature is the ability to import users directly from GitLab, along with their respective designations, and assign appropriate privileges based on that information. Allocating different privileges to users is a time-consuming process for us."
"It is difficult to assign different access levels because it relies on separate keys for developer and admin access, which could be simplified."
"The documentation really should be improved by including real examples and more setup cases."
"User management, Documentation, Advanced GUI functionality."
"The tool must be more user-friendly."
"GO doesn't come with a lot of out of the box features like other tools, don't expect that you can get it to work by clicking the NEXT button."
"Parallel execution: It would help it multiple executions could be done at the same time."
"The solution's speed has room for improvement."
"Customer service is 6/10. Technical support is 6/10."
"Needs individual licence for every new slot which requires a code to be provided by the vendor and activated manually."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"This is an open-source solution and it is inexpensive."
"It's an open-source and free tool."
"Costly."
