We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"It is saving time for developers, which is saving money for the company."

More Incredibuild Pros →

"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.""Jenkins's open-based framework is very valuable.""It is open source, flexible, scalable, and easy to use. It is easy to maintain for the administrator. It is a continuous integration tool, and its enterprise version is quite mature. It has good integrations and plug-ins. Azure DevOps can also be integrated with Jenkins.""The automated elements are easy to use and you can put them into your server.""The most valuable features of Jenkins are creating builds, and connecting them with Sonar for Sonar analysis. Additionally, we connect it with other vulnerability tools, such as WhiteSource which is useful.""Jenkins integrates with multiple tools like Bitbucket and makes life easier. We don't have to write a lot of code since a lot of libraries are available.""I like that you can find a wide range of plugins for Jenkins.""The most valuable feature of Jenkins is its open source."

Cons
"Stability could be improved. I don't know the reason for the instability because there are no logs that help me to understand the problem."

More Incredibuild Cons →

"Jenkins is an open-source solution, and people tend to stay on the same version for a long time. When you look for an answer on Google, you often find something that doesn't relate to your implementation. The plugins are both the aspect of Jenkins and also one of the worst because the plugins can have different versions, so it's hard to figure out how to solve the problems.""Sometimes you have Jenkins restarting because of OOM errors.""I think an integrated help button, that respected the context of the change/work in hand, would be a worthwhile improvement.""Jenkins relies on the old version of interface for configuration management. This needs improvement.""Improvement-wise, I would want the solution's user interface to be changed for the better. In short, the solution can be made more user-friendly.""Tasks such as deployment, cloning, database switchover, and all other database missions and tasks are being done through Jenkins. If a job does not go through, at times the error message does not clearly indicate what caused the failure. I have to escalate it to the Jenkins DevOps team just to see what caused the failure. If the error message is clear, then I wouldn't have to escalate the issue to different teams.""The solution's UI can use a facelift and the logs can use more detailed information.""Jenkins should adopt the Pipeline as Code approach by building a deployment pipeline using the Jenkins file."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "Its pricing and licensing are annoying. Every year, I need to renew. If I miss the deadline date, all my processes will stop working. So, I would prefer that I wouldn't need to renew every year, instead have another solution for it. Or, if we could have an enterprise license agreement with the company, then the development team wouldn't need to spend time renewing licenses."

  • "Jenkins is open source."
  • "​It is free.​"
  • "Some of the add-ons are too expensive."
  • "It's free software with a big community behind it, which is very good."
  • "I used the free OSS version all the time. It was enough for all my needs."
  • "Jenkins is open source and free."
  • "There is no cost. It is open source."

    Moving to TeamCity from Jenkins At work, we’re slowly migrating from Jenkins to TeamCity in the hope of ending some of our recurring problems with continuous integration. My use of Jenkins prior to this job has been almost strictly on a personal basis, although I pretty much only use Travis nowadays. The biggest difference upon initial inspection is that TeamCity is far more focused on validating individual commits rather than certain types of tests. Jenkins’ front page presents information that is simply not useful in a non-linear development environment, where people are often working in vastly different directions. How many of the previous tests passed/failed is not really salient information in this kind of situation. Running specific tests for individual commits on TeamCity is far more trivial in terms of interface complexity than Jenkins. TeamCity just involves clicking the ”…” button in the corner on any test type (although I wish it wasn’t so easy to click “Run” by accident). I generally find TeamCity a lot more intuitive than Jenkins out of the box. There’s a point at which you feel that if you have to scour the documentation to do anything remotely complex in an application, you’re dealing with a bad interface. One disappointing thing in both is that inter-branch merges improperly trigger e-mails to unrelated committers. I suppose it is fairly difficult to determine who to notify about failure in situations like these, though. It seems like TeamCity pulls up the… Read more →
