Senior Qe Lead at Cognizant
Consistent automation has improved deployments and supports efficient client-facing workflows
Deployment and other processes are feasible for me, making this a smooth process. The integration part is good. We can use multiple things by integrating with CI/CD pipelines, and this is very feasible for us. This allows us to do our work easily. The productivity is very good. CloudBees is a good and efficient tool. We can work in client-facing scenarios, and since clients have provided these types of tools, we are able to work on them effectively.

AI coding has accelerated our feature delivery and has transformed how our team builds services
I have been noticing recently that Cursor introduced their own model, which is pretty limited; it is very fast, but it is not smart. They might have to improve that, along with the agent selection methodology. When you select auto, you expect it to use the best agent possible and think of the money savings, but it does not always work as expected, sometimes providing bad code or code that has bugs. I think the auto mode selection can improve. Another concern is the pricing; we have been paying a lot for Cursor recently, which I feel has increased within the last few months, possibly due to our usage going up. We are paying an amount similar to a developer's salary for Cursor now. I believe all the needed improvements are primarily around the auto agent selection mode and pricing. If they could be more transparent about it, that would be appreciated. We only see the bill at the end of the month, and it is often a high amount, so transparency in the pricing would be very helpful for us as developers.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"One recent product feature that stands out is the pipeline explorer, which is providing significant value for us right now."
"The security audit product offered by CloudBees is particularly beneficial in automating audit processes, which reduces the time developers spend on audits."
"I find the automation feature most valuable. CloudBees is highly scalable and supports both small and large teams. The deployment process is also faster when compared to on-premise."
"CloudBees is a good and efficient tool."
"CloudBees is a user-friendly tool."
"CloudBees operates seamlessly. Deploying to a cluster is straightforward—just one click, and the job is done."
"CloudBees assists by automating tasks, previously done manually, in the pipeline setup."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is that its GUI is quite simple."
"Previously, tasks that would take weeks or months can now be completed within days because of these AI tools."
"Cursor positively impacts my organization by providing great feasibility and better reliability, enabling faster development processes."
 

Cons

"The problem with CloudBees is that when you merge it, the pipelines would randomly fail multiple times."
"The setup is somewhat complicated. You need a cloud architect and engineer to set it up properly. The initial setup will take time, so you need a good engineer and architect to handle it."
"The user interface of CloudBees is good but could be even more intuitive. Improving the user-friendliness of the interface and having simpler setup configurations would greatly benefit new users."
"It could improve the document upload process."
"One challenge I'd like to highlight is that with CloudBees CI growing bigger and bigger, there are limitations in terms of managing old plugins and services and upgrading them with time."
"I would like to see improved speed and availability."
"I think a preview of the errors would be good just at the point where the error occurs."
"There are connection issues with CloudBees, specifically between Sybase and CloudBees. W"
"Another concern is the pricing; we have been paying a lot for Cursor recently, which I feel has increased within the last few months, possibly due to our usage going up."
"Sometimes Cursor does get stuck, which should be addressed, though the UI remains very good."
