User interface has improved navigation but demands clearer organization for consistent workflows
There is one product for operating system called Google Chrome OS Flex. Google Chrome Enterprise generally updates in the background with a button that appears for relaunching to update. The updates are frequent, occurring every two or three days. While tab history is saved, it can be inconvenient to close and reopen all tabs. When an update occurs, a button appears on Google Chrome Enterprise indicating the need to relaunch. This requires closing all Chrome windows before updating. Google Chrome Enterprise is simple to install. For Google Cloud services, installation is not necessary as services are created directly on the cloud. It is currently running on public cloud. I don't have anything deployed on other clouds, only GCP. I have rated this solution 6 out of 10.

Role-based automation has streamlined secure CI pipelines and supports data-driven delivery decisions
Any product that I create, I will have an improvement expectation for Jenkins on Hardened Ubuntu. The one expectation that I have is that the UI can be still improved. Some more metrics can be established. Nowadays, there are a lot of configurations. I should be able to really connect with AI as another feature that can also be integrated. These are the three or four items that can be added to the improvement toward Jenkins on Hardened Ubuntu.Jenkins on Hardened Ubuntu could include AI chat features in the future to make it even better. When there is a build happening or when there is a job happening, I could ask in the chat how long that takes or what is the current job running. These AI features can be included.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I really like the fact that Chrome OS is super secure, easy to manage, and so forth, it's portable and inexpensive, and Chrome Enterprise is really easy to deploy and manage."
"Google Chrome's reliability is a valuable feature, providing consistent and comprehensive search results."
"In this solution, I enjoy using features that are more sophisticated in terms of centralized management to maintain consistent security."
"I am using Google Admin console for managing my devices; it is actually convenient and I am using that for managing multiple accounts and parent accounts."
"The solution is easy to use."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"I would highly recommend this solution for any enterprise that is looking to use this tool for their workspace."
"The standout advantage of Google Chrome Enterprise is its ease of use; it is easy to share information within the Share Drive."
"I have definitely noticed a reduction in incidents and time saved since switching to Jenkins on Hardened Ubuntu, which saves at least between ten to twenty hours in configuration time, translating to potential savings of hundreds or even thousands of dollars."
"Regarding Jenkins on Hardened Ubuntu's AI capabilities, I find its governance and security to be quite secure."
"Jenkins on Hardened Ubuntu has positively impacted my organization by increasing deployment times, with the number of deployments increasing from around twenty a day to more than double that, and it was easier to retry on failure because if anything failed within the automated pipelines, it was easy to retry."
"Jenkins on Hardened Ubuntu has positively impacted my organization because it works fast and has helped us improve our CI/CD pipelines."
"Jenkins on Hardened Ubuntu is an open-source tool that has many plugins to support all applications, and this stands out as its main advantage."
"We have set up a very critical infrastructure with both Jenkins and the Ubuntu hardening steps without any need for specific challenges."
"Jenkins on Hardened Ubuntu has positively impacted my organization by showing a lot of improvement; it reduces our time and increases our development process, and it helps a lot everywhere."
"Jenkins on Hardened Ubuntu has extremely benefited our CI/CD pipelines; the whole of our build systems are completely running on Jenkins on Hardened Ubuntu and it is a day-to-day activity."
 

Cons

"They need to deal with their memory management."
"Identifying areas for improvement can be challenging since Chrome consistently strives to enhance itself. One aspect I'd like to highlight is virtualization. For instance, if you require desktop-based applications like Cisco or Adobe products on your local machine, Chrome's support is limited. While they offer Linux solutions for virtualization, my query or request would be to expand this to include Windows-based applications. If this were implemented, it would be a valuable enhancement, encouraging broader adoption by companies."
"The performance could improve because it uses many computer resources."
"When troubleshooting any issues, especially security issues, it is not easy to define the root cause."
"Google Chrome Enterprise doesn't use AI in its solution."
"The performance could be faster."
"The updates are frequent, occurring every two or three days. While tab history is saved, it can be inconvenient to close and reopen all tabs."
"The tool is not very user-friendly."
"Jenkins on Hardened Ubuntu can have some enhancements; the UI can be more attractive, as it is just a normal layout right now, so we can have some kind of tiles and devise some separate area to choose that particular pipeline itself related to configuration and the pipeline, but apart from that, functionality-wise, it is good, though sometimes Jenkins is down when we are doing multiple deployments at the same time, which is one major issue."
"I wish it had a more friendly user interface."
"There is a maintenance overhead to using Jenkins on Hardened Ubuntu since the customer is responsible for patching both Jenkins on Hardened Ubuntu and the OS, and although security issues are somewhat handled, Jenkins on Hardened Ubuntu third-party plugins may still be insecure, and hardened images can be too restrictive."
"Initially, I faced some issues with plugins that might be incompatible while setting up Jenkins on Hardened Ubuntu."
"Currently, Jenkins on Hardened Ubuntu is almost obsolete."
"I have not seen a return on investment with Jenkins on Hardened Ubuntu."
"One area Jenkins on Hardened Ubuntu could improve is role control, particularly with RBAC permissions, as this has been an issue for a long time."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Google Chrome Enterprise is a medium-priced solution."
"We are on a monthly subscription for this solution."
"Yearly payments are to be made towards the licensing costs of Google Chrome Enterprise. It is not an expensive solution. I rate the solution's pricing model a six out of ten. There is a need to pay an extra cost in addition to the solution's standard licensing fees."
"So all I can say is just for us since we just recently re-upped our three-year contract for Google Education Enterprise, whatever the name is for their highest level enterprise...I found the pricing to be pretty reasonable overall."
"The product price is very good in my opinion."
"Pricing varies significantly based on different regions and specific requirements. The cost can differ for the Euro price as opposed to the Asia-specific price. Generally, the standard pricing falls within the range of twenty-five to thirty dollars per license. This payment can be structured on a monthly or yearly basis. Opting for the yearly payment plan often comes with an added discount, either directly from Google or through negotiations with your vendor."
