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.

A highly-scalable and stable solution that reduces deployment time and produces a significant return on investment
The dashboard needs to be improved. Though the access management and authentication functionalities are present, the dashboard and UI could be more user-friendly. The product has many plug-ins. Users have to go through the documentation to be able to use the product. The UI must be more user-friendly. The information should be available in the dashboard itself. The users shouldn’t have to refer to the documentation. When a user hovers over the elements on the dashboard, it should reveal information about them.

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 is a very mature product."
"The initial setup is pretty simple."
"The most valuable features are Jenkins Pipelines for ALM and full Deploy Cycle."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is its integration between different tools."
"The most valuable aspect of Jenkins is pipeline customization. Jenkins provides a declarative pipeline as well as a scripted pipeline. The scripted pipeline uses a programming language. You can customize it to your needs, so we use Jenkins because other solutions like Travis and Spinnaker don't allow much customization."
"Very easy to understand for newcomers."
"The most valuable features of Jenkins are the integration with GitHub, and the automation for deployment."
"Jenkins has been instrumental in automating our build and deployment processes."
 

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."
"Sometimes, random errors of metadata are not there, which causes delays. These are essentially gaps in the information being passed to the job."
"Jenkins could simplify the user interface a little bit because it sometimes creates too many features cramped in the UI."
"Centralized user management would be helpful."
"I think an integrated help button, that respected the context of the change/work in hand, would be a worthwhile improvement."
"Upgrading and maintaining plugins can be painful, as sometimes upgrading a plugin can break functionality of another plugin that a job is dependent on."
"This solution would be improved with the inclusion of an Artifactory (Universal artifact repository manager)."
"The user interface could be improved, and its reporting capabilities need enhancement. The plugins could be more effective."
"The scriptwriting process could be improved in this solution in the future."
 

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."
"The tool is open-source."
"Jenkins is open source and free."
"Jenkins is an open-source tool."
"We use the tool's open-source version which is free. There is an enterprise version which is expensive but comes with better support."
"Jenkins is open-source, so it is free."
"There is no cost. It is open source."
"Jenkins is a free open-source server."
"We are using the free version of Jenkins. There are no costs or licensing."

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…
