Heroku vs Jenkins comparison

"Valuable for us was the fast deployment. This means the time to market is improved without pain for developers."

"The most valuable feature of Heroku is the continuous integration and applications it provides."

"It's easy to push a change and to deploy new things."

"The product is stable."

"The solution's most valuable feature is the auto maintenance of databases."

"I like the tool's scalability, CLI, and dashboards."

"It is easy to deploy applications, and we don't need to bother about software updates on the server. We don't need to bother about machines, servers, and hardware. We only need to care about the system and functionality that we need or want to develop. They take care of everything else. It provides high availability. It is a pretty good solution that provides everything that we need. It has everything that we need to run our applications. We have many different applications, and we generate three million bills for a company in Brazil. We see more than a billion requests per day in another application. Everything works just fine, and it is very good."

"Thanks to Heroku, we don't need to do as much direct management in AWS."

"It is easy to use."

"I am not aware of the available options in the market right now compared to Jenkins, but I am pretty much happy with the service that Jenkins is providing our company."

"Jenkins optimizes the CI/CD process, enhances automation, and ensures efficiency and management of our build and deployment pipeline."

"The solution is scalable and has a large number of plugins that can help you scale it to your needs."

"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."

"Very easy to understand for newcomers."

"Jenkins allows us to automate deployment, so I no longer have to do it manually. That's the primary use case. The other advantage of Jenkins is that it's open source. It was free for me to download and install. It's a product that's been in use for many years, so I can find a lot of support online for any issues that I may encounter while configuring anything for a given use case."

"It's very easy to learn."

"I improved the application performance by monitoring and adjusting the cleaner configuration to help set better lightweight limits on containers that run the app instances."

"Their support is good, but they can improve their response time."

"Heroku doesn't support Docker images on the CI infrastructure."

"We don't find the pipelines intuitive. The user experience could be better. Having to set up multiple apps, then a pipeline, seems like an overkill on the amount of work to do."

"They could flesh out some of their analytics a little more."

"Heroku should increase its slug size limits."

"Heroku had an authentication problem a few months ago, but they solved it."

"We would like to be notified when something goes wrong in the process. When something is not working, we should get an alert."

"There is no way for the cloud repositories to trigger Jenkins."

"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."

"Sometimes you have Jenkins restarting because of OOM errors."

"It would be better if there were an option to remove its Java dependency. This would make it more compatible with other software, and it could be much better. At present, we have to depend on Java whenever we want to deploy agents."

"The disadvantage of Jenkins is writing Groovy scripts. There are other CI tools where you do not need to write this many scripts to manage and deploy."

"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."

"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."

"I would like to see even more integrations included in the next release."

"The tool is free."

"There is a standard fee for a processing unit, they call them "dynos," and then you pay for add-ons."

"The price of Heroku could be less expensive."

"I rate the tool's pricing a three out of ten."

"Its price is very good."

"Jenkins is a free open-source server."

"Some of the add-ons are too expensive."

"The solution is open source."

"It is a free product."

"I used the free OSS version all the time. It was enough for all my needs."

"It is a cheap solution."

"It could be cheaper because there are many solutions available in the market. We are paying yearly."

"Jenkins is open-source, so it is free."
