Saves time for developers, which saves money for the company
We are using the Incredibuild agent to run multiple processes on all available cores. This is the improvement that we did. Instead of the machine's core doing task after task, it is now running on multiple machines. In my working environment, it is saving time for all our developers in regards to the time consumption of the builds. My team has four people who manage and interact with Incredibuild as a product.

Automated pipelines have halved deployment time and allow developers to focus only on coding
The best features that Jenkins offers me are high customizability along with the support of Groovy language, which allows me to write my own functions and logic to deploy applications and configure the pipeline according to my use case. Its high integration capability with many plugins is also a significant advantage. For example, we have certain cloud functions running on Google Cloud Run, and we deploy those in the form of containers. Jenkins is highly integratable with Docker through plugins, so we installed those plugins in Jenkins and provided the credentials and logic for execution. Additionally, we have a Bitbucket environment and AWS deployments where we also use Jenkins' strong AWS plugins to deploy resources effectively. Thanks to these plugins, it's easy to deploy rather than creating custom logic. I have covered pretty much everything about the features of Jenkins.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"For each build that runs where I need to generate a code, it takes around half an hour instead of an hour and a half."
"It is saving time for developers, which is saving money for the company."
"We used it for all continuous integration parts, like automation testing, deployment, etc."
"Using Jenkins we have configured and automated the complete build procedure."
"Jenkins has excellent task planning features."
"The most valuable feature of Jenkins is its open source."
"Jenkins optimizes the CI/CD process, enhances automation, and ensures efficiency and management of our build and deployment pipeline."
"The major benefit of using Jenkins is that it's a very secure way of deploying something to the cloud."
"From a deployment perspective, we don't require any passwords or any permissions and all, everything we can do from Jenkins, and whenever something fails we have the facility to check the logs so we can find the solutions and fix things, plus the initial setup is simple, the stability is good, the dashboards are very good, the solution has been very easy to use, and it offers very good, very clear documentation that is laid out well and easy to explain to a new user."
"It is essential for software development and team collaboration."
 

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."
"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."
"The default settings do not work properly on Mac OS X."
"Pipelines are still young and promising. But this part still has some room for improvement."
"The bug fix speed is very slow."
"The upgrades need improvement."
"Upgrading and maintaining plugins can be painful, as sometimes upgrading a plugin can break functionality of another plugin that a job is dependent on."
"We sometimes face challenges during version upgrades, such as failures when migrating Kubernetes versions."
"I think an integrated help button, that respected the context of the change/work in hand, would be a worthwhile improvement."
 

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."
"The pricing for Jenkins is free."
"It's free software with a big community behind it, which is very good."
"It is a free product."
"It could be cheaper because there are many solutions available in the market. We are paying yearly."
"In our company, we do pay for the licensing of the solution."
"Jenkins is not expensive and reasonably priced."
"The tool is open-source."
"We are using the free version of Jenkins. There is not a license required to use the solution because it is open-source."
