iOS Developer

Limitation of file conversion as per the subscription is very low.

Product

Some things in the code would need to be tweaked after conversion but I suppose that's normal and expected.

Swiftify is a one of the best tools for code conversion.

The helpful resources and responsive support team add to its appeal.

Apart from converting the language I don’t have much use for it, maybe I am not even aware of many things it can do as I have been ignorant about it, overall good tool but as i said too costly

Technical Team Lead

Swiftify is a useful programme for translating Objective-C code to Swift code. When we work on older projects, Swiftify comes in quite handy.

Lead developer

At times doing the whole project/class be little time taking

I simply love it how easily it is to convert big projects to Swift.

Satisfies and will consider using again for future projects.

Easy to use to convert code from Objective C to Swift

Swiftify helped my team to update our Objective-C code to Swift, in some classes we have 1000+ lines of code and Swiftify make it easier.

Your objective c code may be converted to swift using this tool extremely effectively.

One time when I migrated some code, I saw many compiler warnings, but they were simple to fix.

Jr. iOS Developer

I usually found the optimum solutions in Objective C most of the time. And also I found the old projects in objective C.

The source code limits when converting long files

The tool is really easy to use, quick, and accurate for the most part.

Business Development Executive

The pricing model is probably the only real con in the product

Director of Mobile Development

This can save you some time if you are converting projects from Objective-C to Swift, but it will not flawlessly translate a project.

Software Developer

Sometimes the translation doesn't work well.

Efficient and accurate conversion of ObjC

The conversion were mostly OK most of the time.

Developer 

Easy to convert existing projects to swift

Managing Partner

the fact that you can copy and paste a snippet and convert it is very handy

Developer

Converted a huge file and little updating required after to get everything working.

iOS Engineer

I suggest that there should be an individual subscription/licence available for single users.

iOS developer

I found swiftify very helpful to convert some code and saves me a lots of time.

I begin iOS development with swift an I have no prior knowledge and understanding of objective c.

It is the best objective c to swift converter system that I found.

Consider offering an individual subscription/licence for this product.

You are now required to pay for this system.

Easy to use with just right click and convert.

The GUI still works for read only making it easily accessible to less pipeline technical folks while also giving those maintaining the pipeline all the benefits of "as code".

Development manager

You can customize pipelines in the UI or in YAML files.

Web Developer

Its intuitive interface and powerful automation tools make setting up pipelines a breeze.

DevOps Engineer

Buddy also offers a wide range of pre-built actions and integrations, which can save teams a lot of time and effort.

It is one of the most powerful tools to help push code quickly, and can manage error checking when deploying an application

Lead Developer

The challenge is that when we need help from customer service, they're in a different time zone, making the problem-solving process slower.

QA Lead

Good tool to use for any project but still need some time to capture the market

The experience was so enlightening that I'm now using it in my personal project to deliver updates to my application in a sophisticated manner.

Advanced Computing Research Student

The pipeline management feature in Buddy.works allows for easy creation and management of multiple pipelines, streamlining the development process.

Shopware Developer - Web-Developer

easy automatisation of pipelines and good overview

It offers an easy interface that is easy to understand clearly.

Fullstack Developer

We use Buddy to test and deploy Wordpress applications with minimum effort.

Some actions in the documentation don't match up with how it is used on the pipeline.

Senior Developer

Have used Buddy in several of my roles and would highly recommend it to teams.

Software Engineer

I like that the interface makes buddy really simple and easy to use as a user.

Da Boss

I try to get rid of php errors before I commit, but still it would be useful to make easy check before deploy.

Chief Technology Officer

It's web-UI based work flow builder really stands out and helps beginner mobile devs to easily use continuous integration.

One of the things I liked most about the software is its ability to automate the delivery process, making it easy to deploy updates and new features to users.

A disadvantage of Buddy is that some features are only available on paid plans.

Documentation could be more in depth in some areas, it is a bit of a learning curve at first.

Full-stack web developer

Its intuitive user interface and flexible pipeline configurations make it simple for teams to set up and manage their software development processes.

Full-Stack Developer

FE Developer and PM

The only drawback is that for some features, you need to have an advanced version

Buddy.works is a comprehensive and user-friendly software that offers a wide range of features for continuous delivery and continuous development.

Additionally, I found that the user interface can be a bit overwhelming at times, with multiple menus and options that can be difficult to navigate.

Technical account manager

I like a lot the easy way to configure projects and create pipelines to deploy my application in different environments.

I like Buddy for the ease of use when you are a budding developer looking to learn CI/CD practices.

I also felt that some features, such as configuration management, could be improved to provide more detailed and granular control.

Owner

There are no features missing that I can see but I'm not the developer.

Manager

On the top of that anything more complex that "hello world" runs out of their apparent 2CPU 2GB deployment server.

I do feel like the paid plans could be more flexible, maybe add the ability to mix add-ons to plans.

Cofounder

It is easy to use along with a wide feature and capability set.

Senior Software Developer

Also the first time using it, the "Run Now" button made it appear as though I was starting the deploy, but I wasn't sure where it was going to.

You can easily set up your pipelines to automate your CI and deployments.

Full stack

Buddy's Pro plan doesn't really suffice for memory-hungry builds.

Architect

Parameter action and custom actions help to achieve what we want.

Change the owner of the workspace you can find unter "Billing".

Freelancer

The price is kind of high for me as I don't have a team nor have any financial support, as I'm working in a non-profit org.

Head of Software Engineer

Long story short, I found Buddy, to be honest, I was very constrained with payments, I could afford it but I didn't have payments abroad (only Indonesia), and it turned out that Buddy was free!

Plugins for Liquibase,  soanrqube servers etc

Web Architect

Integrations with AWS, Node are easy to setup to achieve custom workflows

I'd like to have colleagues that are able just to view or run but not to edit.

Frontend Developer

None at this moment, there are times when you wish an action were available but the ones I was thinking about have already been implemented.
