Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"It is saving time for developers, which is saving money for the company."

More Incredibuild Pros →

"The most valuable feature of the solution is its integration between different tools.""It is a stable solution.""It's very easy to learn.""We significantly reduced build times of large projects (more than 80k lines of Scala code) using build time on Jenkins as a time sample. It reduced the developer write-test-commit cycle time, and increased productivity.""Jenkins optimizes the CI/CD process, enhances automation, and ensures efficiency and management of our build and deployment pipeline.""The initial setup is simple.""I like the business logs. It's a very useful tool. Client-server communication is also very fast.""With Jenkins, the pipeline will take your code from any versioning system like GitHub or Bitbucket. All the security scans can happen in one go and then all the tests also get run. You can just build one container in it and deploy it."

Cons
"Stability could be improved. I don't know the reason for the instability because there are no logs that help me to understand the problem."

More Incredibuild Cons →

"For this solution to be a 10, it has to be a lot more stable. Maybe the public version of Jenkins is stable, but in our case it's not stable.""The documentation could be more friendly, and more examples of how to use it.""Jenkins could have better cloud functionality. Currently, we are using the existing legacy model, but we are moving toward the cloud, so it would be great if they could improve in that area. In the future, I would like more cloud features and related training materials, like a video tutorial.""The documentation on plugin development could be better: more examples. ​""I would like them to provide space for people to have a central node that stores all the logs of workspace information in a distributed fashion to facilitate backup and restoration. Currently, everything is stored on one node, so you need to set up distributed storage or an endpoint that you can use for backing up your information.""In our case, we have several products built using Jenkins. It is quite difficult to navigate into the latest stable build in a given OS.""Jenkins is an old product, and we encounter performance issues and slow response. Also, some of the plugins are not stable.""Improvement-wise, I would want the solution's user interface to be changed for the better. In short, the solution can be made more user-friendly."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "Its pricing and licensing are annoying. Every year, I need to renew. If I miss the deadline date, all my processes will stop working. So, I would prefer that I wouldn't need to renew every year, instead have another solution for it. Or, if we could have an enterprise license agreement with the company, then the development team wouldn't need to spend time renewing licenses."
  • More Incredibuild Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "It is a free product."
  • "Jenkins is open source."
  • "​It is free.​"
  • "Some of the add-ons are too expensive."
  • "It's free software with a big community behind it, which is very good."
  • "I used the free OSS version all the time. It was enough for all my needs."
  • "Jenkins is open source and free."
  • "There is no cost. It is open source."

    Moving to TeamCity from Jenkins At work, we’re slowly migrating from Jenkins to TeamCity in the hope of ending some of our recurring problems with continuous integration. My use of Jenkins prior to this job has been almost strictly on a personal basis, although I pretty much only use Travis nowadays. The biggest difference upon initial inspection is that TeamCity is far more focused on validating individual commits rather than certain types of tests. Jenkins’ front page presents information that is simply not useful in a non-linear development environment, where people are often working in vastly different directions. How many of the previous tests passed/failed is not really salient information in this kind of situation. Running specific tests for individual commits on TeamCity is far more trivial in terms of interface complexity than Jenkins. TeamCity just involves clicking the ”…” button in the corner on any test type (although I wish it wasn’t so easy to click “Run” by accident). I generally find TeamCity a lot more intuitive than Jenkins out of the box. There’s a point at which you feel that if you have to scour the documentation to do anything remotely complex in an application, you’re dealing with a bad interface. One disappointing thing in both is that inter-branch merges improperly trigger e-mails to unrelated committers. I suppose it is fairly difficult to determine who to notify about failure in situations like these, though. It seems like TeamCity pulls up the… Read more →
