Pros
"We never experienced any problems with scalability."

More Concourse for VMware Tanzu Pros →

"We use Jenkins to automatically build Python binaries into several OS's i.e. OS X, Ubuntu, Windows 32-bit and Windows 64-bit.""Jenkins is stable, user-friendly, and helps with continuous integration. As of today, I can't see any tool that's better than Jenkins.""Jenkins is the most widely used development tool, so there are many plugins and it's easy to integrate. There is a large user base to provide community support, which I find very valuable. If I need to find a better way to do something, I can always get help from the community. Automation is about thinking outside of the box, and other users are constantly adding new plugins.""Jenkins optimizes the CI/CD process, enhances automation, and ensures efficiency and management of our build and deployment pipeline.""The most valuable features are Jenkins Pipelines for ALM and full Deploy Cycle.""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.""Jenkins is very stable.""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."

Cons
"I would like to see additional support for things outside of Cloud Foundry."

More Concourse for VMware Tanzu Cons →

"Jenkins could improve the integration with other platforms.""This solution would be improved with the inclusion of an Artifactory (Universal artifact repository manager).""Jenkins can improve by continuing to add additional plugins for all the new solutions that are coming out within the cloud sphere.""It would be better if there were an option to remove its Java dependency. This would make it more compatible with other software, and it could be much better. At present, we have to depend on Java whenever we want to deploy agents.""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.""The UI must be more user-friendly.""We need more licensed product integrations.""Jenkins is an old product, and we encounter performance issues and slow response. Also, some of the plugins are not stable."

    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 →
