There are some issues with Jenkins, especially with the SIP job. When you run the SIP job, it triggers child jobs in a sequence, yet often fails post-completion. These issues are open in Jenkins, and while there are fixes and it remains usable, improvements are needed in this area.
Adding support for OIDC and internal user databases simultaneously would improve Jenkins. Currently, you can choose only one method of authentication, which is limiting, especially since we have our own SSO server.
Integrating Jenkins with other tools or solutions has presented some challenges. For instance, when attempting to integrate Jenkins with Kubernetes, I encountered numerous errors, which took several days to resolve. In Jenkins, adding a feature typically involves incorporating the repository feature separately. Jenkins lacks built-in Git repository functionality, necessitating an external Git repository to store Jenkins manifests. In contrast, GitLab offers an integrated Git repository and pipeline runner, streamlining the process. One improvement for Jenkins could be integrating a Git server, simplifying the management of CI/CD pipelines. Currently, with Jenkins, modifying pipeline manifests requires navigating to a separate Git repository. In GitLab, however, manifest changes can be made directly within the repository.
Jenkins should adopt the Pipeline as Code approach by building a deployment pipeline using the Jenkins file. The solution should also include parallel build, artifact management, and automated matter testing.
Performance-wise. This needs to be improved. Not only performance-wise, some functionality or some features can be added to Jenkins. Suppose we used to get a notification for part or field test cases. So that can also be improved on the technical side. We can get a notification through email or Slack channel or Teams channel. So that kind of notification also, they can also be improved on the technical side.
There is room for improvement in the setup. The setup could become easier. Another area of improvement is the user interface. Jenkins could simplify the user interface a little bit because it sometimes creates too many features cramped in the UI. So we would like to have a bit of a streamlined user interface.
The product should provide more visualization as to how many pipelines are performing and how many builds are happening. It should also integrate with Kubernetes and OpenShift.

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 shouldnāt have to refer to the documentation. When a user hovers over the elements on the dashboard, it should reveal information about them.
The support for the latest Java Runtime Environment should be improved. We usually need support with Java Runtime Environment during the installation and administration of Jenkins. Jenkins should add support for Java Runtime Environment.

Improvement-wise, I would want the solution's user interface to be changed for the better. In short, the solution can be made more user-friendly. I feel that Jenkins should make a manual or provide instructions to those planning to use the solution. Our organization has people working in the DevOps team with around ten years of experience. So, people who are fresh graduates would not know how to operate Jenkins. There was an incident in the past in which the organization deleted the production pipeline, and this was because the instructions related to the solution werenāt clear. If the instructions had been provided and the solution had a normal user interface, such an issue could have been avoided altogether.
The solution needs more support for different Docker setups. Right now, it's a bit complicated. If there were better Docker integration, it would be ideal. Right now, there is no easy plug-in. You really have to explore it a bit more to figure out how to do it. We need more licensed product integrations. For example, having a licensed integration with Jira would be great. It is a bit limited in terms of its vision right now.
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 could be improved by removing the storage of unnecessary data such as the history of test deployments that were unsuccessful. In a future release, we would like to have access to more third party plugins and would like to integrate with tools like Kubernetes.
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.

If they could provide some release management and integrated security like JFrog Xray and JFrog SonarQube, that would be ideal. If they could have a built-in security assessment, like a run times security assessment, or some engine within Jenkins, that would be great. We are expecting a collaborative solution. We'd prefer not to have to go through third parties. We want everything in a single place and without having to deal with extra applications and expenses. I would want to see if they can add some security engines or security modules within the Jenkins portal so people wouldn't have to buy or go for some other outside products. As of now, security is the biggest concern. That should be the first priority after any technology. They need to improve their documentation. When you compare it to Red Hat documentation which is very nice, you find that Jenkins does not provide much helpful documentation. The product needs to showcase more use cases.

The solutions integrations support and reporting could be improved. Currently, Jenkins provides the features automatically. However, if we can trigger the job from our mobile, that would be great. We have done it once, but the next time we tried, it did not work. For example, when I was in India, I tried to execute our Jenkins job but could not. However, when I put the privacy on my data and phone, I connected to the VPN, and it automatically triggered.
Jenkins could improve by allowing more scripting languages. We need to use Groovy scripting and it is difficult to debug and it is not ideal for creating file scripts. We tried to search for assistance but we did not find much help.
We have a variety of examples in our organization. We have security configurations that we would like to isolate across our platform. It is not always easy to control the permissions for each user. There are cases where I do not want everyone to have access to the technical aspect of a job or even that the job exists.

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.
For this solution to be a 10, it has to be a lot more stable. Maybe the public version of Jenkins is stable, but in our case it's not stable. There is a knowledge record, but you still need to figure out the way to configure it initially. It has to be easier. There should be some indication that an error is not caused by Jenkins.

There are some 13 commands that we cannot run for Jenkins. For those particular commands, for the smallest small command (not the bigger task at a deeper level), for example, a copy command, we cannot run it from Jenkins. We cannot change the ownership of any directory or file or any kind of directory. In that case, we have a dependency on, for example, Ansible. There are some limited commands in Jenkins.

There are a lot of things that they can try to improvise. They can reduce a lot of configurations. It is currently supporting Groovy for scripting. It would be really good if it can be improvised for Python because, for most of the automation, we have Python as a script. It would be good if can also support Python. We have a lot of Android builds. These Android builds can be a part of Jenkins. It can have some plug-ins or configurations for Android builds. There should also be some internal matrix to check the performance. We also want to have more REST API support, which is currently not much in Jenkins. We are not able to get more information about running Jenkins. More REST API support should be provided.
The solution can be improved by introducing a handbook describing the variety of plugins that are available and what each one is used for. There are so many plugins if you don't have experience with them you can't create a properly working CI pipeline. The addition of automated plugins can improve the solution. The solution's UI can use a facelift and the logs can use more detailed information.

The onboarding of Jenkins should be smoother, and it should have more pipelines available as it's deployed on many different servers. We should be able to do minimal configuration changes and deploy our API from multiple regions like AWS, GCP, or virtual environments like VM.
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.
Jenkins is on-premise (on our infrastructure) and Bitbucket or Azure directories are on the cloud. Therefore, triggering from the repositories to the on-premise, Jenkins is not applicable. We are trying to reach them now, and we are currently using a plan or a process to listen to the repositories every once in a while to know if there are no new changes applied. It triggers the automation for the deployment and the running test cases, and therefore it may take two minutes or three minutes to have the deployment done after the latest commit. This is due to the fact that we are using on-premise Jenkins for on-premise deployment, yet have the repositories on the cloud. There is no way for the cloud repositories to trigger Jenkins. We are trying to research now how to have the Jenkins over a public IP, so the repositories can trigger it.
Many of the Jenkins servers I install are on a system in some restricted zone where the server doesn't have internet access. This is problematic because Jenkins requires many plugins to integrate with GitHub or add custom functions, so it would be helpful if the plugins were pre-installed with the product. Installing them online is easier because I can go ahead and search for the plugins I need. However, I have to download every plugin when I'm using this tool on a server in a high-security zone with no internet access. Each plugin depends on another, so the plugins have to be installed in a particular order, or installing all the plugins is extremely difficult. If the prerequisite is not installed, and I install the other one, it goes out and gives me an error. It's a complicated process to do it. When this tool does not satisfy a particular requirement, I map the requirement to some other tool and proceed with it. There are different tools for various use cases, so I use whatever I have. I don't expect a single product to provide all the functionalities I need.

Jenkins is a Java-based solution, and it's a hassle to initially spin up the solution in Java. Jenkins is highly customizable through plugins, but it has limited out-of-the-box capabilities.

One area for improvement would be the UI, which currently looks quite outdated and requires the user to go through too many steps. In the next release, I would like to have the ability to use the command prompt to navigate between repositories and to enable features.
Sometimes, random errors of metadata are not there, which causes delays. These are essentially gaps in the information being passed to the job. This could be reduced and would save a lot of time. Jenkins runs in correlation with GitHub but can only run one job at a time. Also, that job is a pre-selected job. So, if you select a particular job, then that job would run for all your pull requests. It would be amazing if for pull request one, for example, I could do build one, and for pull request two, I could do build two.

We have issues with the following points: * The usability and user interface could be improved. * Clearer feedback for problems and errors would be useful. * The learning curve is quite steep at the moment. * Our security policy does not allow normal users to introduce additional modules.

This solution would be improved with the inclusion of an Artifactory (Universal artifact repository manager).
The user interface could be updated a little. I think that a REST API is needed to expand the integration capabilities.
They should improve the Version Control tracking system in Jenkins.
I think we have everything we need in Jenkins, really we're content with what we have in it. If I had to name something, I'd like to see more on the cloud, cloud integration, like to Amazon and Google. I'd like to see more plugins for those.
