I give the solution eight out of ten. The solution has several advantages over its competition because it doesn't require a license, is easy to integrate, and there are a lot of free resources and information available online. I recommend the solution and suggest to anyone thinking about using it to first familiarize yourself with the plugins and know what it is you want to get out of the product before installing it. There are over 2000 people in our organization and over 80 percent of our project use this solution. The solution has readily available documentation and support that can be found online.

Build Automation

Key learnings from peers

Last updated Jun 26, 2024

Valuable Features

"It offers continuous deployment and continuous testing. It enables us to figure out anything."
"Jenkins's automation and orchestration features have significantly improved workflows by automating various processes. Initially, it did not support YAML manifesting or GitOps, but recent versions have introduced these capabilities. Now, the tool supports importing manifest files from Git repositories, enabling the implementation of GitOps pipelines. Compared to other tools like GitLab, it has become a mature tool for running CI/CD pipelines."
"Jenkins has been instrumental in automating our build and deployment processes."

Room for Improvement

"The user interface could be improved, and its reporting capabilities need enhancement. The plugins could be more effective."
"Integrating Jenkins with other tools or solutions has presented some challenges. For instance, when attempting to integrate Jenkins with Kubernetes, I encountered numerous errors, which took several days to resolve. In Jenkins, adding a feature typically involves incorporating the repository feature separately. Jenkins lacks built-in Git repository functionality, necessitating an external Git repository to store Jenkins manifests."
"Support should be provided at no cost, as there is no free support available for any of the free versions."
