We performed a comparison between Jenkins and Nx based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about GitLab, Jenkins, Amazon Web Services (AWS) and others in Build Automation."Has enabled full automation of the company."
"This is a great integration tool and very powerful."
"Having builds and test tasks triggered on commit helps not to break the product."
"A lot of support material exists via a single web search of exactly what you're looking for."
"The simplicity of Jenkins and the evolving ecosystem of Jenkins are most valuable. Today, you do not have to write a pipeline from scratch. The library functionality of Jenkins helps you to bring all those in ready-made, and you also get the best practices for them. That is a great feature of Jenkins, and that is why it is being used significantly."
"Jenkins has been instrumental in automating our build and deployment processes."
"Jenkins has excellent task planning features."
"Jenkins's open-based framework is very valuable."
"I really like Nx because it is easy to use and works right away."
"The onboarding of Jenkins should be smoother, and it should have more pipelines available as it's deployed on many different servers."
"Jenkins can be improved, but it's difficult for me to explain. The initial setup could be more straightforward. If you connect Jenkins with bookings and lockouts, it can be challenging."
"Jenkins could simplify the user interface a little bit because it sometimes creates too many features cramped in the UI."
"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."
"We cannot change the ownership of any directory or file or any kind of directory."
"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."
"This solution could be improved by removing the storage of unnecessary data such as the history of test deployments that were unsuccessful."
"The documentation could be more friendly, and more examples of how to use it."
"There are aspects of Nx that could be improved, particularly the desktop interface, which I find quite unappealing, mostly in black and white."
