Saves time for developers, which saves money for the company

I have specific licenses regarding running third-party applications. We are not using IncrediBuild in Visual Studio at all. We are not using it for C++ or compiling. We are using it for running a third-party application, which is our application, where we do automatic generation of code. I am in…

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

In our CI/CD pipeline, we rely on Jenkins to trigger various tasks related to the Telco Cloud infrastructure. It's an essential tool for managing our infrastructure tasks efficiently Jenkins is incredibly user-friendly, so I haven't encountered any difficulties using it. It's the only product…

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."

"It's very useful when you want to automate different processes from beginning to end."

"The auto-schedule feature is valuable. Another valuable feature is that Jenkins does not trigger a build when there is no change in any of the systems. Jenkins also supports most of the open-source plug-ins."

"We really appreciate that this solution is plug and play. When coding in the version control system, this product completes the build process automatically."

"Jenkins has excellent task planning features."

"Jenkins optimizes the CI/CD process, enhances automation, and ensures efficiency and management of our build and deployment pipeline."

"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."

"Also, the ability to customize these plugins is valuable. Its user-friendliness stands out, especially in its user interface which allows easy installation and configuration."

"Jenkins is very easy to use."

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."

"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."

"Jenkins is not an easy solution to use and the configuration is not simple. They can improve the solution by adding a graphical interface that is more user-friendly."

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

"The learning curve is quite steep at the moment."

"Integrating Jenkins with other tools or solutions has presented some challenges. For instance, when attempting to integrate Jenkins with Kubernetes, I encountered numerous errors, which took several days to resolve. In Jenkins, adding a feature typically involves incorporating the repository feature separately. Jenkins lacks built-in Git repository functionality, necessitating an external Git repository to store Jenkins manifests."

"Support should be provided at no cost, as there is no free support available for any of the free versions."

"It would be helpful if they had a bit more interactive UI."

"Adding support for OIDC and internal user databases simultaneously would improve Jenkins."

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."

"It's free software with a big community behind it, which is very good."

"Jenkins is a free open-source server."

"It is a free product."

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

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

"This is an open-source solution for the basic features. However, if an organization wishes to include specific functionality, outside of the basic package, there are extra costs involved."

"It is a cheap solution."

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

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…
