GNU Make vs Jenkins comparison

"GNU Make is such an essential tool that it is almost impossible to imagine working without it. Not having it, developers would probably have to resort to doing everything manually or via shell scripts."

"Full-featured syntax allows building strategies as simple or as complex as one wishes, and declarative approach fits the task really well. Wide adoption also means that everybody knows what GNU Make is and how to use it."

"Setup is extremely straightforward."

"I have not encountered any scalability issues with GNU Make. It is as scalable as the project's structure is, and then some."

"Makefiles are extremely easy to work with using any preferred editor. GNU Make can be run directly from the terminal, not requiring any time wasted on clicking."

"The initial setup of GNU Make is straightforward."

"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."

"Jenkins is very easy to use."

"When we have manual tasks, we have to depend on multiple technical teams. With Jenkins, we can bring all the technologies together by the click of a button. We can see results without having to depend on different teams. Jenkins makes life easy for the database and DevOps teams."

"Jenkins has been instrumental in automating our build and deployment processes."

"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."

"The most valuable feature is its ability to connect with different tools and technologies."

"It's a powerful tool for CI/CD."

"It is a stable solution."

"GNU Make does not provide traditional customer support."

"Vanilla GNU Make does not support any kind of colored output. A wrapper named colormake exists to work around this, but native (opt-in) support would be welcome."

"GNU Make requires using the Tab symbol as the first symbol of command line for execution. In some text editors this can be problematic, as they automatically insert spaces instead of tabs."

"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."

"Logging could be improved to offer a clearer view."

"Performance-wise. This needs to be improved. Not only performance-wise, some functionality or some features can be added to Jenkins."

"The support for the latest Java Runtime Environment should be improved."

"The documentation could be more friendly, and more examples of how to use it."

"A more user-friendly UI for creating pipelines would be helpful."

"Jenkins is an old product, and we encounter performance issues and slow response. Also, some of the plugins are not stable."

"This solution could be improved by removing the storage of unnecessary data such as the history of test deployments that were unsuccessful."

"There is no price for this product. No licensing. It’s open-source."

"GNU Make is free and open source software."

"The pricing for Jenkins is free."

"Jenkins is not expensive and reasonably priced."

"We are using the free version of Jenkins. There is not a license required to use the solution because it is open-source."

"Jenkins is a free open-source server."

"Jenkins is a free solution, it is open source."

"We are using the free version of Jenkins. There are no costs or licensing."

"We are using the freeware version of Jenkins."

"The solution is one of the lowest costs compared to competitors."
