Member of Technical Staff 3 Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "One of the best CI/CD experience" January 14, 2023 3.0 Pros \- It has huge customisation options while creating a new CI/CD pipeline- It greatly reduces the developer effort by automating a lot of stuff- Great for running regular cron jobs Cons \- The UI can be made much better - The erorr reporting in case of pipeline failures can be much better. One of the competitor which wins over Jenkins here is CircleCI Alternatives considered [CircleCI](https://www.capterra.com/p/150380/CircleCI/) Review Source NK Nick K. CEO Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "A solid choice for CI/CD at scale" August 14, 2023 4.0 Still the gold standard for CI/CD. Look elsewhere if you are running complex pipelines as there are tools better suited to it. Pros Relatively straight forward to use once its setup and well tuned. Developers know it, and its easy to hire devops folks with lots of Jenkins experience. Cons The access control story is still convoluted and requires attention. Easy to make mistakes. Setup is improved but still not as easy as newer competitors. Complicated pipelines are likely better suited to more modern tools Alternatives considered [CircleCI](https://www.capterra.com/p/150380/CircleCI/) Reason for choosing Jenkins Cost Review Source Rajat M. Test Lead Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "An excellent and useful tool for Build pipeline management and execution over cloud." August 20, 2022 4.0 Pros It's easy to use, User friendly interface and have integration with multiple platforms. Can manage multiple cloud pipeline for my project and also can integrate it with Jira and Bitbicket for my Test execution as well. Cons I can't find any cons as such, sometimes Jenkins becomes slow due to storage issues. Review Source SR Sakshi R. Infrastructure engineer Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Excellent CI/CD tool - Jenkins" September 17, 2022 4.0 I am working with Jenkins since 2 years, and as a DevOps engineer, I am using Jenkins on daily basis to integrate the code and deploying it. if someone just started learning DevOps then Jenkins is the free and best tool for practice. I STRONGLY recommend it. Jenkins helps me alot in achieving my daily task.Thanks Jenkins!! Pros I personally feel Jenkins is the best CI/CD tool.First of all it is free that makes it more famous in Market.It is very easy to integrate with source code management software's like GIT, Bitbucket,GitHub etc...Jenkins contains huge plugins that enhances its features.it's easy to work with Jenkins. Cons No such major dislikes, but Jenkins UI is outdated and not as such user friendly, UI needs to be improve otherwise everything is good. Review Source OP Onur P. Co-Founder Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Jenkins Review" September 7, 2023 5.0 I am really satisfied with Jenkins considering that it's open-source. Pros First of all, it's an open-source tool. We need appreciate the efforts of Jenkins team. It's very stable and has a lot features on top of it. Also writing pipelines with groovy language is quite straightforward. Cons Jenkins can improve the UI and its elements. It can provide more clear UI for the users. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Software Engineer Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Automation made easy with Jenkins" April 15, 2021 5.0 My overall experience has been pretty great. It makes automating the builds and pipelines pretty easy. Pros Jenkins is a great tool to automate things. It has a number of features to help you with that - You can select the type of pipeline - You can create jobs to trigger automatic builds - You can integrate multiple plugins in the pipeline - It has support for different testing tools, security vulnerability tools, etc - The dashboard and UI are neat and clean - It can be deployed very easily and has multiple options(docker, jar, cloud) for doing that. Cons While installation there are a lot of plugins which get installed. Some of the plugins give error and they are not at all used as well. So maybe the plugin repository can be updated once in a while to keep it up to date. Apart from that I love Jenkins. There are no cons to be listed out in Jenkins. It works well and serves the purpose.

I have used to integrate multiple testing solutions and the pre and post build options are amazing Pros The pipeline feature offered by Jenkins is the best feature.It allows different stages in a pipeline and to plan the execution smartly Cons The authentication is quite complex and the workspace is also something not very easy or simple Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Fullstack Developer Computer Software Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "CI/CD For every project." December 10, 2021 4.0 It is a very powerful tool that helps with the continuous integration of a software development project, ensuring that the parameters and validations defined by the devops and quality teams are always met. It is ideal to make it indispensable in the integration and deployment of projects. Pros Full integration of a development project. Uniting different applications and additional software according to the need and parameterization of the work team. Cons To make the best use of this tool, it is necessary to know very well its functionalities and how they should be parameterized. What makes its manipulation can only be given by a few members of the work team. Reason for choosing Jenkins Due to its great background, community and stability. This tool is the leader in its area and not for nothing, it is undoubtedly the best. Review Source PS Pranay S. Software Engineer Computer Software Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Handy tool for CI/CD" August 9, 2022 5.0 Pros It takes care of all the CI/CD processes and also has good 3rd party compatibility Cons Its a bit time consuming to understand how to setup and lacks documentation Review Source James H. Delivery Engineer Internet Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Jenkins can do anything!" August 8, 2019 5.0 Pros If you need to automate it, Jenkins can do it: software builds, test suites, deployments, monitoring, housekeeping and maintenance tasks. The vast ecosystem of plugins extends its functionality in just about any direction you could want. It's an unopinionated tool: Jenkins never tells you how to do something, instead it gives you the means to do whatever you want, however you want. Cons Scripted pipelines still lack a lot of features, requiring the usage of unwieldy Groovy syntax. Beware of constant security vulnerabilities in both Jenkins and its many plugins, not to mention dead plugins. It's best to keep Jenkins relatively isolated on a company intranet and limit its access to other systems. Review Source João C. Mobile Developer Internet Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great tool for continuous integration" May 3, 2019 4.0 Setting one Jenkins system on my own proved to be a bit tricky, as there is no "installer" that makes it ready to use. I have little knowledge on the DevOps side as I'm a mobile developer. But I rely a lot on Jenkins for my apps continuous integration. No Pull Request is merged if Jenkins says no. It really helped me becoming a better programmer, as I tend to review my code a lot before Jenkins runs my tests. Pros Allow complex flows to be built, and these flows are easily written in just one file. Cons The UI could be greatly improved, as it looks super deprecated. Also setup is not very simple for someone that is not from DevOps (like me). Also debugging problems are also not very easy to do. I often rely on someone from DevOps to help me debug something related to the tool (not the tests) Review Source VR Verified Reviewer IT Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Jenkin Best Automation tool for Devops" April 26, 2022 4.0 well previously while we commit the code we have to do it manually by login to each server and pulling the code from git and restarting services, so when we have 10 servers we need to do the same time, actually it wastes time and sometimes we confuse the multi terminal command console and missing some server not update. but thanks to Jenkin we just prepare one and then we trigger one-click deploy the same code to multi-server at the same time. Pros a very powerful tool and automation for DevOps as we set up only one time and we can manage the trigger to do the multi things at the same time to multi servers. the ssh, git, and ansible integration let me modify and push or deploy the code to multi-server at the same time. ansible let me push the configuration management to the different servers at the same time, it's very easy and does not confuse the server. Cons well, it is a bit difficult for the new developers if they don't know the multi-components inside, but after that it will be much more easy than the manual work. Review Source Pavel K. Test Automation Engineer Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Jenkins is an ideal tool for test automation tasks" November 27, 2018 4.0 I personally don't like or use open source solutions, because of (often) chaotic and unreliable development, with many bugs and illogical UI. Jenkins is one of two exceptions I'm actively using ;) Pros What I like about Jenknins is it's plugin support, modularity and weekly builds, which means Jenkins is constantly developed and improved . There is plenty of plugins available, which make it easy to integrate with various build servers and cloud solutions, different reporting tools and so on. I'm using it for test automation tasks (together with Ranorex) and it's quite reliable solution. Cons Jenkins can be quite hard to setup for a man with previous experience with it. But there are many nice and easy to follow tutorials. Review Source pW pathmika W. Software Engineer Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Best CI/CD tool " April 28, 2023 5.0 Most of the companies using jenkins to automate their software deployment steps. This reduce the repetitve tasks and saves out time a lot. Pros Jenkins is a powerful tool that we used to automate code building, testing and deployment. We use jenkins to create CI/CD tool for all of our projects. This integrated with most of the version control systems like git. Jenkins can be run on a single machine or multiple machines to enhance the scalability. User interfaces are very informative and we know where to navigate next. Cons Jenkins is complex to use without any prior knowledge. So new users need to know how to use it. Review Source MG Manjunath G. Team Lead Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Jenkins - a great build tool for the masses" December 26, 2019 4.0 Jenkins is currently used as a CI tool wherein we can commit to GIT which in turns kicks of Jenkins and it takes care of test cases execution and deployment.. its basically our CI-CD line. Pros 1\. Great plugin ecosystem, has everything we need for a CI tool..great integration with test suites, GIT and other products. 2. Robust ecosystem of developments all year around, quick bug fixes 3. set up on Azure , AWS is a breeze 4. Scheduling jobs has been its strongest forte 5. Auditing capabilities is pretty useful Cons Plugins might be needed for the basis task, can improve the out of the box capabilities. UI can be improved, its clunky it needs to be an enterprise level tool set with easy abort for hung jobs... sometimes we need to restart Jenkins to get this going Auditing features can be improved to track user level data Error messaging can be enhanced..its pretty basic at the moment with exception handling capabilities Roles/Security feature around user privileges needs to offered too Reason for choosing Jenkins Jenkins was open source, had a robust presence in customer developer environment Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Software Development Analyst Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Jinkins is tool which helps user to integrate and deploy code on different different server." August 5, 2018 4.0 it is over all good experience . Pros I use Jenkins as a java developer.what I like in jenkins is a user can make a script and can use same script to build your code.You can immediate find if there is any issue with build. It will send notification to whole team regarding build failure so there is no need to directly do changes in Application. by build failure itself you can do your code testing .Most important thing is you can build and deploy code on time basis so automatic it will build at that time. Cons Jenkins has so many plugin so its little bit time taking thing to add plugins and it also does not support micro services. It also take time to build code Review Source Marek H. Senior Software Engineer Biotechnology Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Powerful tool, with not so nice user experience" May 5, 2023 3.0 Pros I never encountered that something could not be done on Jenkins. Jenkins is very versatile tool for CICD purposes. Cons The UI is a bit complex and the learning curve is steep. The UI of the website has not changed much in last years making it look a bit out-dated.We usually highly under-estimated time spent on any workflow that needed to be done in Jenkins. Switched from [GitHub](https://www.capterra.com/p/129067/GitHub/) (more specifically GitHub Actions) We decided that it suits better our use cases. Review Source Fernando R. CCO Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Tool for support building, deploying and automating any project." July 21, 2022 5.0 We cover the complete development cycle with continous integration, testing and continous delivery Pros Easy and visual UI for checking project state. Easy installation and configuration Cons There are not any things we do not like about this software Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Aws devops manager Broadcast Media Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "A awesome open source CICD tool" August 5, 2022 4.0 Pros Its open source, and flexibility with plugins to customise Cons Ui/UX is not that great.. but they have a medium type ui to start with Alternatives considered [CircleCI](https://www.capterra.com/p/150380/CircleCI/) Review Source Pavol R. Java Developer Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "The obvious choice, but not the best one" May 13, 2021 4.0 Well, it's the obvious choice, I have been working with it for years and it's not much that surprises me. But if you are serious with your CI it's probably better to use some commercial options or cloud-based solutions. Pros You can do almost anything in Jenkins. Large amount of plugins, that can be used for your specific case and integration with 3rd party tools. It is multi-platform and supports many different OS for build agents. It's free! Cons The user interface looks very dated and if you are new to Jenkins it can take time to navigate around. As with any other similar tool, maintaining it is a nightmare if you do not do it regularly. It can break easily if plugin misbehaves. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Software QA Engineer Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Continuous Deployment/Delivery" July 20, 2022 5.0 I had a great experience in installing and deploying the tool. Adding roles for the users were also easy and I can easily manage my scripts. Pros Its a great software for delivering the software to the developer and production. Its easy to write pipeline scripts and deploy. Cons It sometimes gets hard to find the plugin required to activate new feature. Proper plugin description must be added. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Senior Product Manager Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Best automation in the market" August 15, 2022 5.0 Pros Jenkins provides the best features in the market for full software stack management and automation. From the easy installation, docker plugin, Google chat integration, AWS seamless integration and more, it helps everything run smoothly and keep me aware of when something goes ill. Cons Self-service can take awhile to get used to and there does need to be expertise in a lot of areas to smoothly run, however I don't think this is untrue with most complex software integrations. Review Source NK Nishant K. Netbackup administrator Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Jenkins - user review" October 12, 2022 4.0 Overall experience has been good.. Trying docker, jenkins, kubernetes snd and feeling good to go a level higher. Pros Jenkins - easy to install If not, start with docker Super encrypted authentication Easy to build, use parameters No need to write long codes Short small scripting works Easy to use and connect with containers. Cons Error is not shown or reflected much.. Need to work on that ourselves only. Review Source Yasiru G. DevOps Engineer Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Continuous Integration with Jenkins " October 10, 2020 4.0 Overall experience is really good with Jenkins. It has a simple and sophisticated user interface and functions with good performance even when the workload is high. Pros Jenkins allows you to create CI pipelines according to your liking. Jenkins have integration with almost all major VCS. Users have to declare the pipelines using a Jenkinsfile and then Jenkins will automatically detect that file and execute the pipeline according to the instructions in the detected jenkinsfile. Cons Jenkinsfile has to be written in their own language which based on groovy. There's a bit steep learning curve for that. That's the issue I see in Jenkins. Review Source IM Imran M. Senior Security Consultant Telecommunications Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Jenkins the king" October 27, 2022 5.0 It has been brilliant, working with Gitlab and Github. Security scans within pipeline with Fortify and Sonaqube. Pros The community support, versatility and integrations Cons It does what it says, in some complex CI/CD scenarios integrations become tricky Alternatives considered [Bamboo](https://www.capterra.com/p/253795/Bamboo/) Reason for choosing Jenkins Opensource and free.
