| Dev Ops Engineer at Infosys | 3.0 | At my previous company, we used GoCD for deploying code and managing infrastructure pipelines. While it had a colorful and rich user experience, it lacked the simplicity of Jenkins, which is why we eventually switched to Jenkins on AWS. |
| DevOps Architect at a consultancy with 10,001+ employees | 3.5 | I find GoCD valuable for deploying microservices due to its user-friendly, open-source nature and pipeline management features. However, access control and job organization need improvement. Despite its benefits, GoCD's deployment efficiency is similar to Jenkins. |
| Linux System Administrator at Ergode | 4.0 | We use GoCD for deploying projects on AWS, valuing its user-friendly interface for managing pipelines. While integration with GitLab could improve user management, GoCD effectively handles our deployment, reporting, and versioning needs. |
| Application Operations Manager at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees | 4.5 | We use GoCD for production and delivery, particularly with Kubernetes. It provides effective source and pipeline tracking, valuable pipeline groups, and transparent value stream maps, though it could improve authentication features for a complete enterprise solution. |
| Solution Architect | Head of BizDev at Greg Solutions | 4.0 | I found GoCD to be a user-friendly, scalable, and free open-source CD tool with excellent UI and flexible permissions, ideal for transparent delivery. However, its documentation needs improvement, and workflow changes can unfortunately break old deployments. |
| Senior Developer at a tech vendor with 201-500 employees | 3.5 | I found GO's pipeline concept excellent for automating delivery, and setup was easy with no major issues. It's open-source, but lacks advanced reporting and requires a learning curve, so it's not ideal for simple needs. |
| DevOps Engineer at a healthcare company with 51-200 employees | 4.0 | We found GoCD valuable for automating Puppet deployment with visual pipelines and code checking. It's stable, free, and offers great ROI, despite needing improvements in user management, documentation, and advanced GUI features. |
