Featured Reviews

YashBrahmani - PeerSpot reviewer
Offers a clear visualization and overview of workflows and helpful in managing CI/CD processes
Improvement in the sense that they can do better in terms of management of logs and stuff like that because the console logs are very extensive, and that causes a lot of storage issues. That is one of the things which is there. Also, with respect to the traditional platform and the modern platform, many things have upgraded, and it has quite improved. But when we talk about the performance of the agents, it’s still very crucial because it’s not up to par. It takes a lot of time to provision the agent and to finish the build because of the SSH connection and the JNLP connection. Due to that, sometimes the agent doesn’t get provisioned. Those are some of the blockers that meet up the time in terms of administering the instance.

Saves time for developers, which saves money for the company
We are using the Incredibuild agent to run multiple processes on all available cores. This is the improvement that we did. Instead of the machine's core doing task after task, it is now running on multiple machines. In my working environment, it is saving time for all our developers in regards to the time consumption of the builds. My team has four people who manage and interact with Incredibuild as a product.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The customer support is good. You get good representatives from CloudBees to help you and understand your requirements."
"It’s a very good tool for auditing your project pipelines as well."
"CloudBees assists by automating tasks, previously done manually, in the pipeline setup."
"CloudBees operates seamlessly. Deploying to a cluster is straightforward—just one click, and the job is done."
"CloudBees is the Jenkins tool for building and deploying. There's open-source Jenkins, which is free and can be used by any organization, but it offers a different architecture for Jenkins. If your organization is larger, you might choose the architecture. This way, you can have different masters for different applications, and different teams can manage their masters separately. However, a single person can still control all the masters, whoever manages it for the organization."
"One recent product feature that stands out is the pipeline explorer, which is providing significant value for us right now."
"The security audit product offered by CloudBees is particularly beneficial in automating audit processes, which reduces the time developers spend on audits."
"The most beneficial aspect is that CloudBees integrates with everything, like version one, GitHub, and PDM."
"It is saving time for developers, which is saving money for the company."
 

Cons

"There are connection issues with CloudBees, specifically between Sybase and CloudBees. W"
"It could improve the document upload process."
"We did face some challenges, particularly with the infrastructure."
"The problem with CloudBees is that when you merge it, the pipelines would randomly fail multiple times."
"Sometimes, there are performance issues, however, they may be due to our organization's configuration."
"The platform could integrate better with other tools and support external tools directly."
"To improve efficiency, they should focus on smoother label deployment."
"To use the tool, you need to be familiar with the tool itself and with how it will be incorporated into the culture."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"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."
