Find out what your peers are saying about GitLab, Jenkins, Amazon Web Services (AWS) and others in Build Automation."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."
"A lot of support material exists via a single web search of exactly what you're looking for."
"Jenkins's open-based framework is very valuable."
"Continuous Integration. Jenkins can integrate with almost any systems used for application development and testing, with its plugins."
"We really appreciate that this solution is plug and play. When coding in the version control system, this product completes the build process automatically."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is its integration between different tools."
"We significantly reduced build times of large projects (more than 80k lines of Scala code) using build time on Jenkins as a time sample. It reduced the developer write-test-commit cycle time, and increased productivity."
"It can scale easily."
"I really like Nx because it is easy to use and works right away."
"A more user-friendly UI for creating pipelines would be helpful."
"The disadvantage of Jenkins is writing Groovy scripts. There are other CI tools where you do not need to write this many scripts to manage and deploy."
"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."
"Centralized user management would be helpful."
"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."
"The upgrades need improvement."
"I would like to see even more integrations included in the next release."
"The product should provide more visualization as to how many pipelines are performing and how many builds are happening. It should also integrate with Kubernetes and OpenShift."
"There are aspects of Nx that could be improved, particularly the desktop interface, which I find quite unappealing, mostly in black and white."
