GoCD Reviews

GoCD stands out for its hackability, visual pipeline representation, and open-source license. Users appreciate the user-friendly interface, pipeline management features like fan-in/fan-out, and role-based access control. Its LDAP integration enhances permissions, while the plug-in architecture offers extensibility. Unique elements include the value stream map for visibility and transparency. Pipeline management through code simplifies processes. Real-time project tracking, accessibility for management, and easy agent management further highlight its appeal.

• "GoCD's open-source nature is valuable."
• "The UI is colorful."
• "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."

GoCD needs improvement in user management, making it easier to assign privileges and import users. Documentation should include real-world examples. GUI and organization of jobs can be more user-friendly. Flexibility in configuring initial jobs and seamless integration with external tools is required. Enhanced plugin options, streamlined user access control, and better authentication features are important. Users suggest using AI for pipeline creation to minimize errors and simplify the setup process.

• "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 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."
