Find out what your peers are saying about GitLab, Jenkins, Amazon Web Services (AWS) and others in Build Automation."We never experienced any problems with scalability."
"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."
"Jenkins is very stable."
"The solution is scalable and concurrent users have access to the platform."
"This is a great integration tool and very powerful."
"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 has built good plugins and has a good security platform."
"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 is the most widely used development tool, so there are many plugins and it's easy to integrate. There is a large user base to provide community support, which I find very valuable. If I need to find a better way to do something, I can always get help from the community. Automation is about thinking outside of the box, and other users are constantly adding new plugins."
"I would like to see additional support for things outside of Cloud Foundry."
"Upgrading and maintaining plugins can be painful, as sometimes upgrading a plugin can break functionality of another plugin that a job is dependent on."

"Some kind of SaaS product would be helpful in providing organizational structure."
"The scriptwriting process could be improved in this solution in the future."
"Sometimes you have Jenkins restarting because of OOM errors."
"I would like to see even more integrations included in the next release."
"The UI of Jenkins could improve."
"We would like to see the addition of mobile simulators support to this solution, as part of its open-source offering. We currently have to carry out manual testing for these platforms."
