Automation has accelerated deployments and standardizes pipelines while reducing operational errors
To improve Jenkins on CentOS 10, there are some challenges we ran into, especially when we first started using it. We missed clearer documentation, both for Jenkins as code and for some environment configurations. As a result, a lot of configurations were learned manually through tests with the team. We also missed more stable plugin updates. We had many problems with incompatibility between plugin versions in Jenkins on CentOS 10. What makes those situations challenging is that we had problems starting and restarting the Jenkins on CentOS 10 application when we needed to reuse plugins from the previous version. Once we updated some plugins to the required version, others became incompatible with the current version. It became a cycle where we had to update Jenkins on CentOS 10, the versions of the plugins we used, and the versions of the plugins they depended on, which made configuration and startup quite difficult in some cases.

Integrated defenses have enabled rapid ransomware prevention and streamlined incident response
Sophos Cybersecurity as a Service is a mature platform with strong endpoint protection, MDR, and integrated security capabilities. However, areas exist where it can continue to evolve. I see opportunities around AI-driven automation, cloud-native security, identity protection, third-party integrations, executive reporting, and proactive risk management. Sophos already provides a strong integrated security platform with MDR, XDR, endpoint protection, and firewall integration. The next evolution is to become even more predictive and autonomous. I would like to see deeper AI-driven response automation, enhanced cloud and identity threat detection, broader third-party integrations, executive-focused risk dashboards, automated compliance mapping, and continuous external attack surface management. These enhancements would not only improve security outcomes but also help CISOs better demonstrate cyber risk reduction and business value. To make it a ten, I would like to see cloud-native workload protection and identity security deeper compared with some specialized competitors. Some enterprises with highly customized SOCs may prefer broader native integration and automation available from platforms such as Microsoft, Palo Alto Networks, or CrowdStrike. Further enhancement in executive reporting and exposure management capabilities is also needed.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Jenkins on CentOS 10 has impacted us positively, mainly because of the open-source nature, and we can customize it to run parallel jobs to reduce the amount of time taken for deployments, reducing it by approximately 40%."
"Deployments are at least eighty to ninety percent faster using Jenkins on CentOS 10 compared to scripting your way and developing your own tools, so the time saved is enormous as well as all the cost that comes with it, which otherwise equals additional cost in engineering time spent."
"Jenkins on CentOS 10 is the main orchestrator that currently helps us ensure, in an automated way, the quality of the product we are delivering."
"The best features Jenkins on CentOS 10 offers in my experience are the automation aspect and CI/CD, which I use a lot."
"Jenkins on CentOS 10 has had a very positive impact on my organization. It gave us predictability and automation."
"Jenkins on CentOS 10 gives back a lot of time, allowing me to work with my colleagues on other tasks and make better use of their abilities."
"The pipeline functionality in Jenkins on CentOS 10 is valuable because it provides a comprehensive view of the entire build and deployment process, and it allows us to automate and monitor every step efficiently."
"With Shared Libraries, I do not need that. I can have one controller and call it in other pipelines as well. I declare it in Jenkins, indicate the repo where it is, and any pipeline that wants to use it just needs to call that method, because when you start the build, it already loads into memory what you need to use. That is really cool."
"Sophos Cybersecurity as a Service has positively impacted our organization by being very beneficial for our business and serving as a valuable income source."
"Sophos Cybersecurity as a Service offers very tight security and compliance; if anybody applies Sophos at their premises, the environment is completely secure and sound."
"Sophos Heartbeat and the Sophos AI-driven ransomware protection for Sophos Cybersecurity as a Service are significant benefits."
"Since the day we started using Sophos Cybersecurity as a Service MDR, there has not been a single incident."
"There is definitely a return on investment when using Sophos products; it all comes down to how deployment is managed, as policy is crucial."
"Support comes not only on problems in terms of security, but also on other matters such as concerns, questions, or inquiries about the license and inquiries about the best way to deploy it."
"Enhanced Threat Hunting and Forensics help my organization address cyberattacks."
"Sophos Cybersecurity as a Service has positively impacted my organization by simplifying cybersecurity operations while improving our ability to detect and respond to threats."
 

Cons

"The difference from what I have presented is that they are easier to deal with regarding AI. GitHub Actions is already integrated with Copilot itself; if there is a build error, it explains in detail where it was and why it happened, and it asks if you want it to make the change. Azure is the same thing. I don't feel that in Jenkins on CentOS 10."
"I would also suggest additional improvements to Jenkins on CentOS 10, including a better user interface, simpler plugin management, and stronger integration with cloud-native technologies."
"I believe Jenkins on CentOS 10 could be improved by updating its interface, making it a bit more intuitive and modern."
"The plugins in Jenkins on CentOS 10, while really great because of the huge ecosystem, can also be a pain point because you never know how long they will be maintained, and there's a slight instability there; if you depend on some plugin that does an integration with some product and the plugin is not maintained anymore, you're blocked from using the product features that would integrate through the plugin, and it doesn't have high availability natively."
"I give Jenkins on CentOS 10 a score of 8 because I see that some plugins are maintained by the community and are not actually supported by Jenkins."
"I believe the main challenges with Jenkins on CentOS 10 are in maintenance."
"Regarding how Jenkins on CentOS 10 can be improved, it is not specific to CentOS 10, but Jenkins is a bit resource-intensive. It consumes significant system resources, especially if there are large codebases running or large projects running, and running it on a server does cost money."
"Jenkins also has a simple scheme that is good but risky: you can copy the /var/lib/jenkins folder, which stores all the service data, and move it to a new server."
"The issue is that I am mentioning the need for more education because customers are using the solution, but I do not think they are maximizing the use or the functionalities of the solution."
"Unfortunately, Sophos Cybersecurity as a Service doesn't provide that kind of visibility into what software or tools are installed on a particular system."
"There are a lot of technical issues with the implementation of Sophos Cybersecurity as a Service, particularly because we are currently implementing the XG series, where Citrix is the endpoint, leading to a lot of confusion."
"To make it a ten, I would like to see cloud-native workload protection and identity security deeper compared with some specialized competitors."
"The disadvantages of Sophos Cybersecurity as a Service include that the support, specifically after-sales support, needs to be improved."
"Sophos Cybersecurity as a Service is continuously consuming more resources, which leads to slower PC performance, so reducing resource consumption would be better for both Sophos products and our sales."
"In terms of improvement, Sophos testing after implementation is quite difficult."
"Sophos Cybersecurity as a Service could be improved by adding features such as patch management and file encryption, as these are currently missing."
