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

Jenkins is incredibly user-friendly, so I haven't encountered any difficulties using it. It's the only product I've used for automation, but I find it to be very intuitive and effective. Jenkins has been instrumental in automating our build and deployment processes. We're leveraging Jenkins to automate tasks related to Telco, particularly in upgrading the manual orchestration. It's a critical tool for streamlining our operations.

IT Telecom Quality Senior Tester at TIM

Ability to automate tests across various platforms and simplifies test creation

From what I've seen with my colleagues who make the software selection, the prices for this software in Brazil are too expensive to be applied to anything but huge customers. I'm surprised because I was in charge of planning and control at the company before, when there was a manager there. Normally, the company has structural licenses that are based on the company they are selling to. I see that these companies cannot spend this money on Tricentis. I think Tosca is losing this type of market. They should have a different license policy for medium and small companies. The same happened in the past with SAP, which changed its policy and also made licenses for low.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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 has excellent task planning features."

"Jenkins is particularly valuable since it saves time by automating manual tasks."

"The automated elements are easy to use and you can put them into your server."

"We can schedule anything with Jenkins, which is useful for deployment or anything that requires scheduling. It also has multiple plugins we can use for Maven, JUnit, etc."

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

"With Jenkins, the pipeline will take your code from any versioning system like GitHub or Bitbucket. All the security scans can happen in one go and then all the tests also get run. You can just build one container in it and deploy it."

"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."

More Jenkins pros

"Software testing tool that has multiple features. It's good to use for SAP testing, and it helps reduce test execution time."

"The solution can be deployed in DevOps and ERP environments like Oracle Fusion. It accelerates testing with the libraries. The product incorporates libraries and is more sensitive to the scans."

"We are satisfied with the support of Tricentis."

"With one click, it will scan all the elements on the screen, so that the user can select the required elements for automation tests."

"The model-based scriptless automation is the most valuable feature because it needs less maintenance as compared to script-based automation."

"What I find valuable is that Tricentis is always refining the test methodology. They listen to feedback from the analysts about what the testing tool should do, and then Tricentis always implements it. So all the necessary testing functions are already implemented in their tools."

"We can also create customized functions. For example, if something isn't supported in Tricentis Tosca Commander, we can create our own function to integrate it with Tosca Commander, so we can utilize it and integrate with the macros."

"The most important feature is its ability to support the technical automation of specific clients that we cannot use with other tools."

More Tricentis Tosca pros

Cons

"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."

"There are some difficulties when we need to execute the DB script."

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

"UI is quite outdated."

"Jenkins can improve by continuing to add additional plugins for all the new solutions that are coming out within the cloud sphere."

"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."

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

"I do not have any notes for improvement."

More Jenkins cons

"Security, UI, and basic performance improvements could be done to the product to enhance its use."

"You need to spend much more time learning the tool and how to use it, compared to others."

"The Test Management options are still weak - improvement is outlined, but not yet visible. I"

"They should have a different license policy for medium and small companies."

"Might have a learning curve, as it does not follow the traditional Record-Play functionality, but tests have to be built from requirements or Agile story cards."

"Primarily I'm dealing with customers looking for a cheap solution, and they are willing to try open-source automation solutions. So from this perspective, the price of Tosca is not as competitive."

"It requires some coding customization that requires expertise."

"Setup wasn't that straightforward; it was more complex. It all depends on the environment, because there were a lot of errors on our applications. Therefore, it wasn't an easy setup for us."

More Tricentis Tosca cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."

"Jenkins is open source."

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

"Jenkins is open source and free."

"It is an open source."

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

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

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

More Jenkins pricing and cost advice

"I am satisfied with the cost."

"Licensing fees are paid on a yearly basis."

"Tricentis Tosca is an expensive solution and there is an annual license required. The whole licensing process is confusing and it could be made easier."

"Tricentis Tosca is an expensive tool and the licensing is not simple."

"On a scale of one to ten, where one is very cheap and ten is very expensive, I rate the pricing a ten. The licensing model is based on a yearly basis."

"Tricentis Tosca should improve its pricing. It is expensive."

"Tricentis Tosca may be relatively on the higher side in terms of pricing, but their sales rep can give pretty decent deals when asked."

"I would like to see better costing packs. There are several features but USD $11,000 for one license is expensive."

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…
