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 feature of Jenkins is its continuous deployment, and we can deploy to multi-cluster and multi-regions in the cloud."
"It is open source, flexible, scalable, and easy to use."
"It's a powerful tool for CI/CD."
"Jenkins has allowed for streamlined automated testing, building, and smoke testing of release candidates."
"Currently, using Jenkins for automatic testing is the most valuable feature for us."
"I am not aware of the available options in the market right now compared to Jenkins, but I am pretty much happy with the service that Jenkins is providing our company."
"We used it for all continuous integration parts, like automation testing, deployment, etc."
"Jenkins Job DSL plugin was a game changer for me personally."
"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 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."
 

Cons

"This solution could be improved by removing the storage of unnecessary data such as the history of test deployments that were unsuccessful."
"They need to improve their documentation."
"There are a lot of things that they can try to improvise. They can reduce a lot of configurations. It is currently supporting Groovy for scripting. It would be really good if it can be improvised for Python because, for most of the automation, we have Python as a script. It would be good if can also support Python. We have a lot of Android builds. These Android builds can be a part of Jenkins. It can have some plug-ins or configurations for Android builds. There should also be some internal matrix to check the performance. We also want to have more REST API support, which is currently not much in Jenkins. We are not able to get more information about running Jenkins. More REST API support should be provided."
"Jenkins can improve by continuing to add additional plugins for all the new solutions that are coming out within the cloud sphere."
"We cannot change the ownership of any directory or file or any kind of directory."
"We sometimes face challenges during version upgrades, such as failures when migrating Kubernetes versions."
"Jenkins could improve by allowing more scripting languages. We need to use Groovy scripting and it is difficult to debug and it is not ideal for creating file scripts. We tried to search for assistance but we did not find much help."
"Jenkins takes a long time to create archive files."
"They could work on reducing the number of permissions required while using Bitbucket."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It could be cheaper because there are many solutions available in the market. We are paying yearly."
"This is an open-source solution for the basic features. However, if an organization wishes to include specific functionality, outside of the basic package, there are extra costs involved."
"Jenkins is an open-source platform."
"Jenkins is a free solution, it is open source."
"The pricing for Jenkins is free."
"We are using the freeware version of Jenkins."
"We use the tool's open-source version which is free. There is an enterprise version which is expensive but comes with better support."
"Jenkins is not expensive and reasonably priced."
"The pricing is the cheapest compared to the other platforms out there."
