Smoother deployment with robust integration
Pros and Cons
  • "I am familiar with the entire life cycle of the product."
  • "In our company, procedures or rules need to be completed, which is not a problem with GitHub Actions but with our process."

What is our primary use case?

How has it helped my organization?

The deployments are more confidence and secure

What is most valuable?

I am familiar with the entire life cycle of the product. While some tools work quite well with GitHub Actions, others are more challenging to implement. It's easier with custom developments but more difficult with developments over propietary software. GitHub is rated better from my experience compared to GitLab. The goal is to avoid deployment failures, which GitHub Actions assists with.

What needs improvement?

In our company, procedures or rules need to be completed, which is not a problem with GitHub Actions but with our process.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using the solution for more or less five years.

How are customer service and support?

The company I work with has a support team for this tool. They are covered with the technical teams.

We also work with GitLab, but GitHub is better based on our experience.

What about the implementation team?

The company has technical teams and may collaborate with other companies.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

We also work with GitLab.

What other advice do I have?

GitHub has been a better experience compared to GitLab. I'd rate the solution eight out of ten.

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

Private Cloud

If public cloud, private cloud, or hybrid cloud, which cloud provider do you use?

A versatile tool that seamlessly integrates with hardware and facilitates optimization
Pros and Cons
  • "It offers numerous built-in features for pipeline management, release management, and even work item tracking on boards, which makes it a versatile tool that seamlessly integrates with hardware and facilitates optimization."
  • "The reporting capabilities are somewhat limited."

What is our primary use case?

We use it for the integration and release processes related to our PRCB activities.

What is most valuable?

I find it incredibly convenient and valuable for our CI/CD processes. It covers configuration, integration, and patching, as well as continuous deployment. It offers numerous built-in features for pipeline management, release management, and even work item tracking on boards, which makes it a versatile tool that seamlessly integrates with hardware and facilitates optimization.

What needs improvement?

While our current pipeline handles most of the deployment, we believe there's room for improvement, especially when it comes to generating comprehensive reports and metrics. The reporting capabilities are somewhat limited.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been working with it for eight years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

It offers good stability capabilities.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

It provides a scalable architecture, and there's thorough documentation available.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

We've been using Jenkins for continuous integration and release management, but it hasn't been providing the seamless experience we desired. While Jenkins has the potential and capabilities for these processes, it often requires piecing together multiple solutions.

What about the implementation team?

The deployment process varies based on the type of project we're involved in. The execution typically takes approximately two and a half to three minutes to complete successfully.

What other advice do I have?

It is quite straightforward and useful. I would rate it eight out of ten.
