Dinesh-Patil - PeerSpot reviewer
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

"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 a CI/CD tool and is the most robust tool."
"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."
"Jenkins' most valuable feature is Pipeline."
"It's very easy to learn."
"It is very useful for us to be able to collect and manage automatic processing pipelines."
"The initial setup is pretty simple."
"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."
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

"There is no way for the cloud repositories to trigger Jenkins."
"Partition security for the workflow of projects is not yet an option."
"Adding support for OIDC and internal user databases simultaneously would improve Jenkins."
"Jenkins needs a faster deployment process."

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