Efficient resource allocation and robust workflow with autoscaling capabilities
In Kubernetes, we use node-based architecture with nodes and pods and follow practices like RBAC and rollback. Multiple pods can run concurrently. We benefit from Kubernetes' ability to autoscale pods and use horizontal pod autoscalers to adjust the number of pods based on metrics like CPU or memory usage, ensuring efficient resource allocation and stability under load.

Testing against multiple run times, versions, and environments is a plus point
We are using Shippable to automate our CI/CD, so we (and our developers) can focus on our core business.  Shippable has tremendously increased our product and features delivery by at least three times. The platform has some amazing features and the integration option makes it very simple to plug…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable features of Jenkins are the ease of use and the information about how to use the features is readily available on the internet. Additionally, with the solution, I can use other reporting tools, such as Flow."
"I like that you can find a wide range of plugins for Jenkins."
"Jenkins is a very mature product."
"Jenkins is stable, user-friendly, and helps with continuous integration. As of today, I can't see any tool that's better than Jenkins."
"With Jenkins, the pipeline will take your code from any versioning system like GitHub or Bitbucket, all the security scans can happen in one go and then all the tests also get run, and you can just build one container in it and deploy it."
"Also, the ability to customize these plugins is valuable. Its user-friendliness stands out, especially in its user interface which allows easy installation and configuration."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is its integration between different tools."
"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."
"The platform has some amazing features and the integration option makes it very simple to plug with any of our favorite tools."
"Testing against multiple run times, versions, and environments is a plus point with the additional pipelines making it more interesting to see what is happening across your development process in a single pane of glass."
"Shippable has tremendously increased our product and features delivery by at least three times."
 

Cons

"There are some 13 commands that we cannot run for Jenkins."
"With few plugins, like Monitoring, it crashes."
"Some plugins have critical bugs and are not able to be used."
"The UI must be more user-friendly."
"We cannot change the ownership of any directory or file or any kind of directory."
"Many of the plugins needs to be streamlined, their terminology needs to be the same and some plugins should be split into multiple smaller plugins."
"Jenkins relies on the old version of interface for configuration management. This needs improvement."
"The user interface could definitely be improved, and I rate it close to zero."
"They could work on reducing the number of permissions required while using Bitbucket."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We are using the free version of Jenkins. There are no costs or licensing."
"Jenkins is open source and free."
"It's free software with a big community behind it, which is very good."
"Jenkins is open source."
"Jenkins is open-source, so it is free."
"Jenkins is an open-source platform."
"The solution is one of the lowest costs compared to competitors."
"It is an open source."
"The pricing is the cheapest compared to the other platforms out there."
