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.

YAML-based configuration and simple deployment but user interface needs modernizing
Travis CI is an okay tool, and I am forced to use it as part of my job. I don't maintain it; it is running somewhere else, and I don't have control over it. The interface is very basic and not user-friendly; it feels like it was stuck in 2010. It is very basic and designed for lightweight CI work, and it cannot handle heavy CI. You cannot do branched flows, and you will have to write shell scripts to send calls here and there. The pipelines are not as detailed as some other CI/CD tools. If Travis is down, you don't have any control over it and need to reach out to their customer support.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It can manage multiple Jenkins instances."
"It’s a very good tool for auditing your project pipelines as well."
"The security audit product offered by CloudBees is particularly beneficial in automating audit processes, which reduces the time developers spend on audits."
"CloudBees assists by automating tasks, previously done manually, in the pipeline setup."
"The solution's most valuable feature is its flexibility."
"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."
"The customer support is good. You get good representatives from CloudBees to help you and understand your requirements."
"The most beneficial aspect is that CloudBees integrates with everything, like version one, GitHub, and PDM."
"The only thing I like about Travis CI is that you have a YAML file to define a Travis flow."
 

Cons

"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."
"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."
"It could improve the document upload process."
"I think a preview of the errors would be good just at the point where the error occurs."
"The platform could integrate better with other tools and support external tools directly."
"We've noticed occasional issues with folder permissions changing unexpectedly. Specifically, permissions sometimes shift from the CloudBees user to the root user. This can cause pipeline failures, as pipelines require the correct CloudBees user permissions to execute properly."
"For CloudBees, I can suggest that the log is very high, which is very hectic for us when trying to find which error is coming."
"Sometimes, there are performance issues, however, they may be due to our organization's configuration."
"The interface is very basic and not user-friendly; it feels like it was stuck in 2010."
