Testing against multiple run times, versions, and environments is a plus point

We are using Shippable to automate our CI/CD, so we (and our developers) can focus on our core business. Shippable has tremendously increased our product and features delivery by at least three times. The platform has some amazing features and the integration option makes it very simple to plug…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable features of Jenkins are creating builds, and connecting them with Sonar for Sonar analysis. Additionally, we connect it with other vulnerability tools, such as WhiteSource which is useful."

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

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

"It can scale easily."

"Jenkins has a lot of built-in packages and tools."

"Jenkins is very user-friendly."

"There are a large number of plugins available for integration with third party systems."

More Jenkins pros

"The platform has some amazing features and the integration option makes it very simple to plug with any of our favorite tools."

"Testing against multiple run times, versions, and environments is a plus point with the additional pipelines making it more interesting to see what is happening across your development process in a single pane of glass."

Cons

"Jenkins relies on the old version of interface for configuration management. This needs improvement."

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

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

"Better and easy-to-use integration with Docker would be an improvement."

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

"Upgrading and maintaining plugins can be painful, as sometimes upgrading a plugin can break functionality of another plugin that a job is dependent on."

"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."

"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

"They could work on reducing the number of permissions required while using Bitbucket."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is free."

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

"It could be cheaper because there are many solutions available in the market. We are paying yearly."

"It is a cheap solution."

"The open-source version is free, but small companies would not be able to afford the cloud-based version."

"Some of the add-ons are too expensive."

"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."

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

More Jenkins pricing and cost advice

"The pricing is the cheapest compared to the other platforms out there."

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…
