Find out what your peers are saying about GitLab, Jenkins, Amazon Web Services (AWS) and others in Build Automation."It is saving time for developers, which is saving money for the company."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is its integration between different tools."
"It is very useful for us to be able to collect and manage automatic processing pipelines."
"There are a large number of plugins available for integration with third party systems."
"The initial setup is simple."
"Jenkins's open-based framework is very valuable."
"The solution is scalable and concurrent users have access to the platform."
"Configuration management: It is so easy to configure a Jenkins instance. Migrate configuration to a new environment just by copying XML files and setting up new nodes."
"I like the business logs. It's a very useful tool. Client-server communication is also very fast."
"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."
"We cannot change the ownership of any directory or file or any kind of directory."
"In our case, we have several products built using Jenkins. It is quite difficult to navigate into the latest stable build in a given OS."
"The support for the latest Java Runtime Environment should be improved."
"Tasks such as deployment, cloning, database switchover, and all other database missions and tasks are being done through Jenkins. If a job does not go through, at times the error message does not clearly indicate what caused the failure. I have to escalate it to the Jenkins DevOps team just to see what caused the failure. If the error message is clear, then I wouldn't have to escalate the issue to different teams."
"Jenkins is an open-source solution, and people tend to stay on the same version for a long time. When you look for an answer on Google, you often find something that doesn't relate to your implementation. The plugins are both the aspect of Jenkins and also one of the worst because the plugins can have different versions, so it's hard to figure out how to solve the problems."
"This solution would be improved with the inclusion of an Artifactory (Universal artifact repository manager)."
"I would like them to provide space for people to have a central node that stores all the logs of workspace information in a distributed fashion to facilitate backup and restoration. Currently, everything is stored on one node, so you need to set up distributed storage or an endpoint that you can use for backing up your information."
"There is no way for the cloud repositories to trigger Jenkins."
