Bitrise vs. Digital.ai Release

Bitrise is only suitable for Mobile app development. Bitrise supports source code repositories such as GitHub, GitLab, and Bitbucket, and also you can connect with your SSO (Single Sign-On) with your private repositories with GitHub Enterprise. It gives a subscription model where it is free for one-time users and increases it fare as the usage grows up. It supports only a set of platforms. It would be good if there were more platforms supported as the user base of a variety of platforms is wide.

Mainly used in release management where all deployments are well managed and processed further based on the approval system. Complete enterprise-level solution with minor difficulties which need to be added to product improvement features. Integration with other CI-CD tools makes it easier to perform tasks in terms of release and deployments.

Incentivized

• Easy Configuration of CI/CD pipelines.
• Integration Capabilities in Slack, JIRA, Bitbucket.
• Extensive Documentation and Community Support.

Incentivized

• Cross-team release workflow control using email, texts, scripts allow our release management to be truly a 360 process.
• XL Release allowing our Jenkins toolchain to control the beginning of release trains which is very powerful.
• XL release allows us to expose the business process flow for anyone to read direct at the source which runs the process instead of a separate vision.

Incentivized

• Documentation on the underlying systems like VMs could be more extensive to help with debugging.

Incentivized

• Pagination of data - across tool.
• User Roles Management API can be improved.
• Case insensitive ID's are treated differently making user face login and access issues.
• Dependency on Universal template/custom plugins creation should be reduced.
• Code versioning of templates is very difficult.
• Better error handling.
• Futures Timeout Issues.

Incentivized

The tool is easy to use, easy to navigate and learn. Manages releases with proper approvals in a systematic manner. Though it needs minor improvements in terms of pagination (data loading), access management, but, overall the tool helps in increasing productivity and less time for production deployments.

Incentivized

Support is not good at all. To this day, I have to mail my queries and their support site does not log in for me (me alone). But, upon contacting many times, no one helps with a proper response. Though good thing is, I get a proper response over mail too. But, being informative about the tool and not on the issues faced by users outside of the process to get support should also be addressed equally. Which is currently missing in support.

Incentivized

Bitrise requires significantly lower effort needs to be put in order to start using it. It's easy to set up and maintain.

Incentivized

XL release is simpler to configure and deploy to the organization than other change management platforms I have used. That simplicity has minor drawbacks requiring you to fit into a limited set of control methods but that exercise helped us simplify a needlessly onerous process.

Incentivized

• Builds apps in very less time.
• Efficient CI/CD pipeline.
• Security

Incentivized

• XL release has improved our consistency of release process, removing multiple days worth of manual status checking and coordination.
• XL release has allowed us to increase the number of beta releases we can support due to simplifying our release actions.
