We performed a comparison between Jenkins and JFrog Pipeline based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about GitLab, Jenkins, Amazon Web Services (AWS) and others in Build Automation."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."
"For business needs, Jenkins is the most relevant choice because it can be self-hosted, the price is good, it’s robust, and requires almost no effort for maintenance."
"Jenkins is a very mature product."
"Automation of chores like deployment, frequent manual tasks (like running scripts on test and production systems) reduced the time used and the number of errors made by engineers, freeing them to do meaningful work instead."
"Jenkins has built good plugins and has a good security platform."
"The most valuable features are Jenkins Pipelines for ALM and full Deploy Cycle."
"GitHub linking is pretty good. We have a deployment application where we can run our tests and add various variables to be passed as assertions to those tests. This is pretty fluid with Jenkins."
"It is a stable solution."
"Testing against multiple run times, versions, and environments is a plus point with the additional pipelines making it more interesting to see what is happening across your development process in a single pane of glass."
"The platform has some amazing features and the integration option makes it very simple to plug with any of our favorite tools."
"Better and easy-to-use integration with Docker would be an improvement."
"The UI of Jenkins could improve."
"The documentation on plugin development could be better: more examples. "
"The documentation could be more friendly, and more examples of how to use it."
"It would be helpful if they had a bit more interactive UI."
"Jenkins could improve by allowing more scripting languages. We need to use Groovy scripting and it is difficult to debug and it is not ideal for creating file scripts. We tried to search for assistance but we did not find much help."
"Upgrading and maintaining plugins can be painful, as sometimes upgrading a plugin can break functionality of another plugin that a job is dependent on."
"Jenkins could improve the integration with other platforms."
"They could work on reducing the number of permissions required while using Bitbucket."
