Likelihood to Recommend While deploying docker images on kubernetes pods I must say Codefresh helped me a lot. It has made my work easy as an Automation tool. I can setup a simple pipelines to automate my build for kubernetes. but for more complex pipelines Codefresh need some improvement
Read full review Spinnaker suits well for applications which are stateless and can adapt to an immutable architecture of deployment. But for applications which are stateful and cannot afford to spin up new servers for every deployment doesn't go well with Spinnaker. It can handle only deployments which are VM based and cannot support deployments to serverless architecture like AWS Lambda etc.
Read full review Pros Continuous Integration and Continuous Development. we can setup jobs that automatically triggered when there is any changes in code and starts building up the build images automatically and then pushing images to Container Registry We can involve Version control system like github, bitbucket, gitlab etc for integration of Codefresh with our code stored in these Version control systems. On the failure of any jobs/pipeline Codefresh can also send Notification on our email. Read full review Fast deployments. Can be integrated with a good variety of other products. Also provides some insights from your environment. Read full review Cons With Codefresh it's become hard to handle complex pipelines Need to focus more on Documentation part UI can be more attractive Security can be more increased Read full review It does NOT support CFN based deployments Windows based systems finds it difficult to onboard to Spinnaker. Pipeline level access authorisation is not there. Support for EBS volume encryption is probably missing. Attach/detach EBS volumes during deployments is difficult. No support to deploy the artifacts without re-creating the servers. Only pure immutable deployment are allowed. Open-source - so good and bad! Spinnaker on its own has 10 underlying micro services. Managing Spinnaker needs a focussed platform approach. User authentication is easy but authorisation management is not straight forward. Debajit Kataki Sr. Devops Mgr.

Read full review Return on Investment Positive: As an Automation tools I must say it has reduced manual labour , reduced errors and improved quality of work. It easily get integrated with third party tools which increases ease ness in our work Negative: Although being a very good tools in CI/CD It requires improvement in UI, it's speed, security, optimization.
