Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Jenkins is free and open source."

"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 Jenkins is its open source."

"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."

"The most valuable features of Jenkins are its ease of use and good plugins available. You are able to connect to a lot of solutions."

"Continuous Integration. Jenkins can integrate with almost any systems used for application development and testing, with its plugins."

"The solution is scalable and has a large number of plugins that can help you scale it to your needs."

"Jenkins is a very mature product."

More Jenkins pros

"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

"Centralized user management would be helpful."

"Jenkins is an old product, and we encounter performance issues and slow response. Also, some of the plugins are not stable."

"Jenkins takes a long time to create archive files."

"Jenkins should adopt the Pipeline as Code approach by building a deployment pipeline using the Jenkins file."

"Jenkins could have better cloud functionality. Currently, we are using the existing legacy model, but we are moving toward the cloud, so it would be great if they could improve in that area. In the future, I would like more cloud features and related training materials, like a video tutorial."

"For this solution to be a 10, it has to be a lot more stable. Maybe the public version of Jenkins is stable, but in our case it's not stable."

"Better and easy-to-use integration with Docker would be an improvement."

"The enterprise version is less stable than the open-source version."

More Jenkins cons

"They could work on reducing the number of permissions required while using Bitbucket."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I used the free OSS version all the time. It was enough for all my needs."

"Jenkins is a free solution, it is open source."

"Jenkins is a free open-source server."

"In our company, we do pay for the licensing of the solution."

"The pricing for Jenkins is free."

I generally find TeamCity a lot more intuitive than Jenkins.

Moving to TeamCity from Jenkins At work, we’re slowly migrating from Jenkins to TeamCity in the hope of ending some of our recurring problems with continuous integration. My use of Jenkins prior to this job has been almost strictly on a personal basis, although I pretty much only use Travis…
