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.

Deployment agent that allows us to deploy out to various other servers but doesn't provide build automation
I would rate this solution as six out of ten. There isn't a big learning curve. It's a very straightforward and simple tool. It can be used anywhere to deploy your code or to configure files. I would recommend it, but there are already better tools in the market. We feel that it's probably not the best tool available, even though we have used it for quite some time. The automation with the REST APIs and other types of APIs isn't that great. There are some things you need to do manually to set up the tool. Other tools provide things you can do automatically through APIs. Inedo BuildMaster is a good tool if you want to have some deployments in your company. The problem is that it's a very limited tool and needs some additional features, like an approval based process for REST APIs. It only works for deployment-related things. These days, tools like Jenkins and DevOps are coming up with build automation. Because Inedo BuildMaster is a deployment-centered tool, you'll need to use a different tool for build automation, which makes it less likely to be used. If they work on that aspect, the solution would be better.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"In terms of value added it has more than achieved everything we wanted from it and more."
"It has a user-friendly interface, which for free and open-source tools, the UI is really amazing and simple."
"GoCD's open-source nature is valuable."
"The UI is colorful."
"Permission separations mean that we can grant limited permissions for each team or team member."
"After we switched to GO, each team can set-up their own delivery pipeline and run it themselves."
"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."
"Technical support is quick to respond. I haven't had any issues with them."
 

Cons

"It is difficult to assign different access levels because it relies on separate keys for developer and admin access, which could be simplified."
"The tool must be more user-friendly."
"The documentation really should be improved by including real examples and more setup cases."
"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."
"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."
"User management, Documentation, Advanced GUI functionality."
"The documentation should be better. It should be very easy to call REST APIs, and the documentation has to be perfect for that."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

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