February 4, 2019 5.0 Jenkins make our life easy with removing the risk of manual errors and help in speeding the process. The Jenkins community is the best one stop place where you can discuss the stuff and get the solution. Once you adopt it you will surely feel the difference with the quality and fast delivery of the product. Pros Jenkins is an open source automation server that help in pure automation with continuous integration and help in fast delivery of the product. It is highly recommended with Java language application as it itself writing in it. The numbers of plugins make this tool special. We can also configure the mail notification on different events like build failed and unstable build. The best thing in it is easy to configure with the help of web interface where we can check the errors and other important notifications. The integration of Jenkins help in to deliver the product with CI/CD model. Cons Jenkins should come with the in-build backup option and I always keep missing it and adding the other third party software to keep maintain the backup before deployment. Multiple Jenkins jobs do need to setup in case of multiple language application is used by the product.

Senior Software Engineer Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great Continuous Integration Tool " September 5, 2020 5.0 \* We have been using for Dev / Int / Prod deployment for Continuous Integration / Continuous Deployment Jenkins for a long time and all I can say that everything is much more easier than the previous deployment procedure. Pros \*Among all continuous integration tools , Jenkins is the best. \* Deployment is not a problem when you use Jenkins \* If a problem happens during the deployment of the process, all the people knows the issue. \* You can have Dev - Int - Prod environments and if one fails you won't be able to deploy your product to other environment. \* SonarQube integration is great \* Cons \* If two person tries to deploy the product at the same time, we come across with errors. That's why someone should say that please stop the deployment for the environment Development, Integration or Production environment. So the least thing is synchronous deployment should be done for the product in the same environment which will not come with an error. Review Source VD Venkateswarlu D.

Very stable and kicked ass. Pros We automated the heck out of Jenkins. Oh yes, when somebody checks in, Jenkins will build. However, we went way beyond that by detecting new branches in Source Control and establishing jobs for that new branch and later when the branch was closed (per our definition) we would be delete all the jobs. As a result, our internal customers didn’t need to “remember” to add jobs to Jenkins. We automatically detect and ran those jobs as they created new stuff. Cons As a user, Jenkins is very straight forward, but our automated job creation software was pretty complex and interfacing with Jenkins at that level was certainly not a normal user feature. Reason for choosing Jenkins Cost. At the enterprise level, we were paying like $500,000.00 per year. Jenkins cut those costs to almost nothing. Review Source TW Thushan W. Software Engineer Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Jenkins make the SDLC more easy" May 26, 2023 5.0 Pros Most of the IT companies are using jenkins to automate the SDLC that means automating steps like build, test and deploy. With jenkins we can build pipelines with customized workflows to automate. This gives high security and integrate with other tools like AWS and kubernetes. A very flexible tool that I use to enhance the quality of a software. Cons I had to learn and ask from community to learn things. So for a new comer cannot use jenkins without a technical knowledge.

Jenkins Has various security models to suit any enterprise. commit into a Git code repository can start off a Jenkins jobs which in turn runs a Test suite and an application Deployment. Cons We experience had some difficulty with utilizing Ansible with Jenkins to permit a pipeline build. This points Jenkins could improve by permitting a spotless method for define build pipelines. Dashboards should be better provisioned in the core item. also need to provide ability to export data. Review Source vsrP vidya sagar reddy P.

Pros Most of the IT companies are using jenkins to automate testing, building and deployment stages of the code. We can configure jenkins to automatically trigger these steps when code merge happens to the repository. If the deployment or build got failed, I go through the jenkins logs and find the issue. There's a big community support for jenkins and we can get tech help from them. Cons Jenkins need considerable memory, CPU and storage resources of the server to run.

The plugins make Jenkins very flexible so you can achieve different goals on your project, from continuous development to integration, or even both. Pros Jenkins supports lots of plugins which makes it very flexible and powerful. Its user-friendly GUI makes it easy to learn and follow even if you not experienced, nevertheless, if you need support there's a lot of documentation out there or optionally you may count on its extensive community to support you. Cons Depending on the number of parameters on a job, it takes some time to load, some browsers even present a "This page is taking too long to load". Jenkins is frequently updated but the plugins are not always updating that fast, so you rely on others to get it updated/fixed for the new versions. Review Source Abhinav K. Sr Software Integrator Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Jenkins: A continuous integration tool." December 25, 2019 5.0 Jenkins is an open source tool for continuous integration and Delivery. It is highly recommended for new projects which likely to opt DevOps methodology.

The open source code help modifying tool as per your own needs. Jenkins also supports cloud based platform. It come with many plugins for continuous integration and continuous delivery support.

Software Technical Lead Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "The best independent solution for continuous delivery " June 5, 2019 4.0 Jenkins has made configuring and using deployment jobs for my team's applications very simple and straightforward for a very long time. Pros Jenkins is part of the old guard of open-source CI/CD servers that you can deploy on your own wherever you want and run in whichever way you like. It offers a great deal of flexibility through a bunch of amazing plugins, with support for almost all version control systems and build environments. The modern features such as deployment pipelines which can be written in code and the addition of many UI improvements make Jenkins the easiest and most favored free CI/CD tool out there today. Cons Jenkins has a slight disadvantage when compared to cloud-based CI/CD tools as maintaining your own server brings in a component of risk and extra maintenance cost. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Senior Software Engineer Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Swiss army knife of automation" October 22, 2018 4.0 Pros I like that it keeps a log of all of your previously made jobs on disk. This makes it so that not only do you keep old builds themselves, but also their outputs right within the ui. This makes debugging why a build failed pretty instant so long as you can get onto your jenkins instance relatively simply. Cons The UI itself is disorienting sometimes and the plugin landscape, while vast, has a very high amount of variance when it comes to helpful text. You either know exactly what a particular tool does or you don't. I've found the help text particularly unhelpful for most things I did not know 100% about initially. So basically, sensible defaults for things would help, but this is less on Jenkins core product and more about its community.

Cons Integration with plugins requires more knowledge than it should. Review Source Mo F. DevOps Engineer Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Essential for any DevOps Shop" February 12, 2022 5.0 Jenkins pipelines continue to automate daily repetitive tasks for our teams which gives us back time to focus on other areas and deliver value. Pros Mostly like that this is an open source software with huge community support. We use Jenkins plugins for deploying our applications to Azure, GCP and even Oracle Cloud. There are plugins for almost every tool used out there. I really like that you can run pipelines fully automated, scheduled or run with parameters to change outcomes by creating template like scripts. Cons Lots of outdated plugins but it's a matter of finding new ones that have replaced the legacy ones.
