Jenkins Reviews

We usually just use Jenkins for the CI, continuous integration, part. That is the use case we have.

The performance is fine. With the huge chunk of connectors that it has, you can literally connect to anything, and you can add anything in the pipeline. The connector parts are seamlessly able to integrate into different products and systems. That is the best part.

The initial setup is pretty simple. 

It's stable. 

Whatever is commonly used and whatever I have required, I have always found that Jenkins has integration with those platforms. I'm fully satisfied on that front.

It would be helpful if they had a bit more interactive UI.

I've been using Jenkins for a while. I've used it at this organization and in my past organization.

The solution is stable. We haven't had any real issues. There are no bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. 

I can't comment on scalability as I have never really tried to scale it previously. It's not part of our requirements. 

I'm not sure how many people in our organization actually use the solution.

I've never needed that assistance of technical support. I can't speak to how useful they are if you run into issues. 

The implementation process is pretty straightforward. It's not too complex. 

I can't recall exactly how long it took to deploy.

Licensing is not my domain. I can't speak to the exact costs. 

Many teams use Jenkins here. Some may use it on the cloud, and others may use it on-premises. 

I'm using the latest version of the solution.

I'd rate the solution nine out of ten. The reason we love it is the huge amount of connectors that Jenkins has. It has seamless connectivity with literally every product from Octopus, and you can integrate everything into your pipeline seamlessly. That was the reason we switched to Jenkins.

The solution is a continuous integration tool.

The most valuable features of the solution are the vast number of resources available online to all users and that it is open source.

The solution can be improved by introducing a handbook describing the variety of plugins that are available and what each one is used for. There are so many plugins if you don't have experience with them you can't create a properly working CI pipeline. The addition of automated plugins can improve the solution.

The solution's UI can use a facelift and the logs can use more detailed information.

I have been using the solution for one and a half years.

The solution is stable.

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

Aside from having to select the appropriate plugins the initial setup is straightforward.

The implementation was done in-house.

The solution is open source.

Before choosing the solution I evaluated TeamCity and GitHub Actions.

I give the solution eight out of ten.

The solution has several advantages over its competition because it doesn't require a license, is easy to integrate, and there are a lot of free resources and information available online.

I recommend the solution and suggest to anyone thinking about using it to first familiarize yourself with the plugins and know what it is you want to get out of the product before installing it.

There are over 2000 people in our organization and over 80 percent of our project use this solution.

The solution has readily available documentation and support that can be found online.

We are using Jenkins for running our test jobs, and multi-cluster deployments in the cloud.

The most valuable feature of Jenkins is its continuous deployment. We can deploy to multi-cluster and multi-regions in the cloud.

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.

I have been working with Jenkins for approximately three years.

Jenkins is not always stable. We have encountered approximately 20 percent downtime.

The scalability of Jenkins could improve. If we are running a lot of jobs, it is not scaling up or down very well.

We have multiple jobs running and they can be between 50 to 100 at a time.

I have not used another solution prior to Jenkins.

The initial setup of Jenkins is a one-click deployment to multiple regions which is helpful. Additionally, it is easy to configure, and it is straightforward.

Jenkins is easy to maintain.

My advice to others is they should use Jenkins in the cloud. If they try to access the solution outside of the cloud environment, you need to configure whitelists and other configurations and keep an eye on them.

I rate Jenkins a seven out of ten.

I can install Jenkins for integration from multiple developers and automate application delivery, staging, and production environments.

Jenkins is very useful. I can install Jenkins for integration from multiple developers and automate application delivery, staging, and production environments. It's very easy.

I do not have any notes for improvement.

The scalability of Jenkins is good.

I never have had to contact their support team for any reason.

I also considered using CodeDeploy or Jenkins.

I would give Jenkins a rating of nine on a scale from one to ten.

We're using Jenkins for projects. We just need to run Jenkins pipelines and stuff.

We use iPlus for web application testing automation. Multiple people can work on the same piece of code. Once we push the code to the Git repositories, by default, we need to check if it's working and if the code passes the tests. 

If any tests fail, we need to verify the logs in Jenkins. So, those are the main things we do with Jenkins.

Pipelines are the most valuable feature. We mostly work on pipelines; it's only because we have to verify the nightly build sign to see whether it is correctly done or not. So, for that kind of function, we usually work on the technical side.

Performance-wise. This needs to be improved. Not only performance-wise, some functionality or some features can be added to Jenkins. 

Suppose we used to get a notification for part or field test cases. So that can also be improved on the technical side. We can get a notification through email or Slack channel or Teams channel. So that kind of notification also, they can also be improved on the technical side. 

I have been using Jenkins for six to eight months. 

I would rate the stability a ten out of ten. I didn't face any crashes. It is hundred percent stable. 

I would rate the scalability a nine out of ten. We have multiple vendors, so we care. We are also one of the vendors for this project. 

So in our project, we are using almost 20 to 25 members using Jenkins.

I would rate my experience with the initial setup a nine out of ten, where one is difficult, and ten is easy.

Jenkins is very user-friendly.  

The time taken for deployment depends on the performance of the engine. Sometimes, it may be slow. Usually, we won't face a performance issue. So, within a fraction of a second or within a fraction of a minute, the deployment can be done.

The deployment depends upon the code. If it is a small piece of code or it's a large piece of code. So it depends on the code.

We have a separate DevOps team for maintenance and other tasks.

This is not open source. It's price-based, for example, premium-based.  

Stability-wise, reliability-wise, and performance-wise, it is a good tool. 

Overall, I would rate the solution a nine out of ten.

We use Jenkins in CI/CD pipelines. 

Jenkins integrates with multiple tools like Bitbucket and makes life easier. We don't have to write a lot of code since a lot of libraries are available. 

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. 

I have been working with the solution for one and a half years. 

I would rate the product a nine out of ten. 

Jenkins is pretty scalable and I would rate it an eight out of ten. My company has more than 100 users for it. We use the tool every day. 

We report to our infrastructure team about the plugin issues. 

We wrote our own custom scripts before Jenkins. 

The tool requires maintenance whenever upgrades are available. 

We use the tool's open-source version which is free. There is an enterprise version which is expensive but comes with better support. 

I would rate Jenkins a nine out of ten. 

For the deployment of modules, we use Jenkins in our company.

My core work does not involve the use of Jenkins. It is something we use in the deployment process. Basically, the solution is used for interface upload and module deployment.

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.

I feel that Jenkins should make a manual or provide instructions to those planning to use the solution. Our organization has people working in the DevOps team with around ten years of experience. So, people who are fresh graduates would not know how to operate Jenkins. There was an incident in the past in which the organization deleted the production pipeline, and this was because the instructions related to the solution weren’t clear. If the instructions had been provided and the solution had a normal user interface, such an issue could have been avoided altogether.

I have used Jenkins for two and a half years. Though I am not very sure, I would say that I am using the solution's latest version. If you consider the technical side of the solution, then we are using in our company the same one being used by YouTube and Netflix.

Stability-wise, it's a pretty decent tool. Basically, It's an average product. So, I won't rate it the best or worst, as it's somewhere in the middle. If I was given to choose a better deployment service, I would definitely use that service rather than using Jenkins. I rate the solution's stability a six out of ten.

I rate the solution's scalability somewhere between seven to eight out of ten. Approximately five to ten people in my company are using Jenkins. If we plan to get more modules in our company, we will have to increase the number of employees. Currently, we don't have any plans to increase the use of the solution.

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 get involved in web testing, development, and PROD for the solution's deployment process. However, I am not aware of the core setup process for Jenkins. Also, we are not involved in the pipeline readiness process, as the DevOps team does it. Therefore, I am not aware of how the initial setup was done.

Around five to ten people from the DevOps team are required to deploy and maintain the solution. Also, the deployment model for the solution is a cloud-based one. It only takes approximately five to ten minutes to deploy the solution.

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

I would definitely recommend the solution to those planning to use it in the future. Overall, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.

We primarily use the solution for CI, continuous integration, and as a content server. 

The solution is quite scalable and user-friendly. It's very easy to learn. 

The initial setup is straightforward. 

It's stable.

The solution can scale.

It has good documentation to help with troubleshooting. 

The solution needs more support for different Docker setups. Right now, it's a bit complicated. If there were better Docker integration, it would be ideal. Right now, there is no easy plug-in. You really have to explore it a bit more to figure out how to do it. 

We need more licensed product integrations. For example, having a licensed integration with Jira would be great.

It is a bit limited in terms of its vision right now. 

I've been using the solution for three years. 

The solution is stable. Sometimes the host server may be down. However, most of the time, it's stable. 

I'd rate the stability nine out of ten.

It's a pretty scalable solution. We find it easy to expand. 

We're using it for a large application and haven't had any issues. It's a bit close sometimes; however, it doesn't crash at regular intervals. Sometimes there might be some server down or something that might cause an issue.

I'd rate the scalability nine out of ten. 

We have about 300 or more people using the solution. We tend to use the product on a weekly basis. 

It is an open-source solution and has good documentation. 

I've also used Bamboo, which is a bit more user-friendly. It has good integrations and licensing.

The solution offers a very straightforward setup. If you have a little bit of technical knowledge, it shouldn't give you any trouble. I'd rate the ease of setup nine out of ten. 

The solution is open-source. 

We're a partner.

Before using the solution, it is helpful to have some Git or CI/CD experience under your belt. It would help with context when starting to use Jenkins. 

I'd rate the solution eight out of ten.
