We performed a comparison between Incredibuild and Jenkins based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about GitLab, Jenkins, Google and others in Build Automation."It is saving time for developers, which is saving money for the company."
"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."
"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."
"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."
