Find out what your peers are saying about GitLab, Jenkins, Amazon Web Services (AWS) and others in Build Automation."Jenkins is a very mature product."
"We used it for all continuous integration parts, like automation testing, deployment, etc."
"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 of Jenkins are the ease of use and the information about how to use the features is readily available on the internet. Additionally, with the solution, I can use other reporting tools, such as Flow."
"It is open source, flexible, scalable, and easy to use. It is easy to maintain for the administrator. It is a continuous integration tool, and its enterprise version is quite mature. It has good integrations and plug-ins. Azure DevOps can also be integrated with Jenkins."
"Different types of jobs, such as Pipeline, Build, Freestyle, Maven, etc."
"We have started to integrate Pipelines as a part of a build, and built a library of common functions. It simplified and made our build scripts more readable."
"I really like Nx because it is easy to use and works right away."
"Jenkins could improve by adding the ability to edit test automation and make time planning better because it is difficult. It should be easier to do."
"The scriptwriting process could be improved in this solution in the future."
"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."
"Jenkins can be improved, but it's difficult for me to explain. The initial setup could be more straightforward. If you connect Jenkins with bookings and lockouts, it can be challenging."
"The upgrades need improvement."
"Logging could be improved to offer a clearer view."
"The learning curve is quite steep at the moment."
"Jenkins could improve the integration with other platforms."
"There are aspects of Nx that could be improved, particularly the desktop interface, which I find quite unappealing, mostly in black and white."
