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.

Streamlines the CI/CD process with its user-friendly interface, extensive plugin ecosystem and efficient automation capabilities

Jenkins is incredibly user-friendly, so I haven't encountered any difficulties using it. It's the only product I've used for automation, but I find it to be very intuitive and effective. Jenkins has been instrumental in automating our build and deployment processes. We're leveraging Jenkins to automate tasks related to Telco, particularly in upgrading the manual orchestration. It's a critical tool for streamlining our operations.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It is saving time for developers, which is saving money for the company."

"Jenkins has built good plugins and has a good security platform."

"Jenkins's open-based framework is very valuable."

"The most valuable features of Jenkins are the integration of automatic scripts for testing and the user's ability to use any script."

"Jenkins is stable, user-friendly, and helps with continuous integration. As of today, I can't see any tool that's better than Jenkins."

"Different types of jobs, such as Pipeline, Build, Freestyle, Maven, etc."

"For business needs, Jenkins is the most relevant choice because it can be self-hosted, the price is good, it’s robust, and requires almost no effort for maintenance."

"Having builds and test tasks triggered on commit helps not to break the product."

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

More Jenkins pros

Cons

"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."

"It does not have a very user-friendly interface."

"They need to improve their documentation."

"Jenkins can improve by continuing to add additional plugins for all the new solutions that are coming out within the cloud sphere."

"The disadvantage of Jenkins is writing Groovy scripts. There are other CI tools where you do not need to write this many scripts to manage and deploy."

"There is no way for the cloud repositories to trigger Jenkins."

"We cannot change the ownership of any directory or file or any kind of directory."

"Partition security for the workflow of projects is not yet an option."

"Creating a new SonarQube project requires a separate job, and we've encountered some integration issues with Docker and the need for better vulnerability checks."

More Jenkins cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."

"I used the free OSS version all the time. It was enough for all my needs."

"We are using the freeware version of Jenkins."

"Jenkins is open source and free."

"Jenkins is open source."

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

"We use the tool's open-source version which is free. There is an enterprise version which is expensive but comes with better support."

"The tool is open-source."

"The pricing for Jenkins is free."

I generally find TeamCity a lot more intuitive than Jenkins.

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…
