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…

Easy to use and works right away
There are aspects of Nx that could be improved, particularly the desktop interface, which I find quite unappealing, mostly in black and white. I used Nx in the past on an older Mac, and it seemed more accessible then. The challenge lies in the small space and difficulties in saving. If these issues can be addressed, Nx could become a more user-friendly and effective solution. In the future, to improve Nx, I think enhancing the partition manager in TDE would be beneficial. Currently, it lacks features like specifying the Mount Point, which is important for organizing the root and other directories. The Nx Partition Manager does a decent job, but there is room for improvement. Additionally, it would be great if the installation process could provide more details on what Nx is doing, especially regarding networking setups.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The initial setup is simple."
"We really appreciate that this solution is plug and play. When coding in the version control system, this product completes the build process automatically."
"The most valuable features of Jenkins are the integration with GitHub, and the automation for deployment."
"Jenkins integrates with multiple tools like Bitbucket and makes life easier. We don't have to write a lot of code since a lot of libraries are available."
"The most valuable aspect of this solution is that there are multiple features. We can abstract certain variables and then build our deployment routine while being able to do some abstraction onto the SSH connections."
"Jenkins can be used for elastic management, if you have any sensitive data or credentials you can use them across the environment. Additionally, the solution is easy to use and can be used across multiple use cases."
"We are using the open-source version and there is a lot of plugins and features that are available and it works on agents for free. In other solutions, it will cost extra to use them with the agent."
"Jenkins allows us to automate deployment, so I no longer have to do it manually. That's the primary use case. The other advantage of Jenkins is that it's open source. It was free for me to download and install. It's a product that's been in use for many years, so I can find a lot of support online for any issues that I may encounter while configuring anything for a given use case."
"I really like Nx because it is easy to use and works right away."
 

Cons

"Performance-wise. This needs to be improved. Not only performance-wise, some functionality or some features can be added to Jenkins."
"There are some difficulties when we need to execute the DB script."
"The upgrades need improvement."
"Jenkins could have better cloud functionality. Currently, we are using the existing legacy model, but we are moving toward the cloud, so it would be great if they could improve in that area. In the future, I would like more cloud features and related training materials, like a video tutorial."
"Logging could be improved to offer a clearer view."
"I would like to have an integrated dashboard on top of it and a better UX to look at. The dashboard could be better in terms of integration with other tools. We should be able to have a single pane of glass across all the tools that we use where Jenkins is the pipeline. This can be a very good upgrade to it."
"The user interface could be updated a little."
"The onboarding of Jenkins should be smoother, and it should have more pipelines available as it's deployed on many different servers."
"There are aspects of Nx that could be improved, particularly the desktop interface, which I find quite unappealing, mostly in black and white."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is an open source."
"We are using the free version of Jenkins. There are no costs or licensing."
"It is a free product."
"We are using the freeware version of Jenkins."
"The solution is one of the lowest costs compared to competitors."
"It is a cheap solution."
"Jenkins is an open-source platform."
"There is no cost. 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…
