### "Tool to build your CI/CD pipeline"

December 6, 2019

5.0

I used Jenkins on daily basis, As a developer i need to compile my code on the go and Jenkins help me to create the jobs and keep a track on the progress we made.

Pros

Jenkins is one of the most commonly used tools to Version, Build, Compile and Deploy your code in your environment

Cons

I think its the Cost to host the instance, Now a days world is moving towards server less architecture which saves capital cost for the consumer

### "On-premises Continuous Integration"

April 15, 2019

4.0

I've used Jenkins in a few different places and I'm very happy with it, but it's an old software system and it's showing his age.

Pros

Jenkins is one of the oldest CI tools out there and still enjoys large usage and a big community. This means flexibility through a great number of plugins, and constant updates. With Jenkins it's relatively easy to basically automate any part of your development process.

Cons

Jenkins flexibility comes with the fragmentation and difference in quality of the plugins. Also adding more and more plugins makes things more complicated since not everything has been standardised.

### "Best tool for CI/CD Integration"

March 13, 2018

5.0

I am using it for CI/CD purpose. We have created different stages in pipeline job to install product, update product, uninstall product, re-install product.

Pros

One of the most powerful tools to manage your build and deployment. It has 'n' number of features and advantages which makes a developer life easy. Pipeline jobs, creating multiple jobs, dependent jobs, parameterizing jobs, scheduling jobs, coupling two jobs together and so many more features.

Cons

There are plugins for almost everything, but the plugins are somewhat not safe. It might compromises the security. Not everyone prefers having plugin.

### "A great DevOps tool to manage builds"

April 22, 2018

4.0

The main benefit is build management. But apart from this main functionality, we were able to integrate many third party application and features as well which are quite useful.

Pros

The ease with which we can use this for team builds. The features which can be included is really great and the results are wonderful. We can configure a lot of things with Jenkins and it's really good.

Cons

One of the major negative points of Jenkins is scenarios when the build fails sometimes and the exact reason becomes unknown. We had to trigger build manually again and the build goes fine. So sometimes build issues are there.

### "Jenkins avoid flaws to be detected by your customer"

May 6, 2022

5.0

Jenkins has improved the quality of our software drastically! Now it is a key element in our CI/CD process. We are delivering now a more stable software, thanks Jenkins for that! We can identify in advance testing and integration problems and avoid outage and emergency situations.

Pros

Opensource, multi platform, easy to install, configure and use. We can find lot of information in the web, documentation on site is excellent!

Cons

I do not recall any negative aspect of this software solution. Once you learn all the potential features and plugins available, you can configure your project and CI/CD pipeline effectively.

Reason for choosing Jenkins

Easier to implement as it supports most of the script/code software languages.

### "Promising software for automated integration and testing"

June 1, 2022

5.0

I used Jenkins with Github. Github was configured with Jenkins to examine new pull request integration, run some verification tools, build the repository with the new changes, and run all unit and integration tests. It is a lot of work for a person to do them manually, even for one time. Jenkins keeps doing it each time there is a pull request and change in the repository, which save huge amount of development and testing time. Therefore, I am extremely happy using Jenkins.

Pros

Jenkins makes developers' life much easier by offering automated code integration and code testing. The trigger to run builds, integration, and tests can be configured in various ways. Therefore, common bugs can be detected as Jenkins keeps running pre-defined tests at different events, such as pull requests on GitHub.

Cons

I have not found anything in Jenkins that I do not like.

### "Jenkins Review"

November 15, 2022

4.0

Pros

I like the easy ability to pipeline into my online repos. I can create multibranch pipelines and have different deployment stages in my jenkins file too, allowing for multi-version deployment for one service

Cons

I'm not a fan of Blue Ocean within Jenkins. I've had issues setting up pipelines and managing services within that interface.

### "Create and run ad-hoc and timely scheduled jobs"

October 10, 2020

5.0

This is a really great tool for storing, managing and scheduling ad-hoc scripts, i had a great experience with Jenkins

Pros

all simple ad-hoc things need a place where it can be deployed, scheduled and run, each of the small jobs can't be deployed on a server like tomcat , so we have a server which supports this kind of use cases called Jenkins, Jenkins is majorly used for OCD deployment processes, and other adhoc jobs ,say you need to do a timely check on resource states etc .. in the Jenkins you can set the executer as machines for different projects and so that the lode can be distributed , we can have a windows or a ubuntu host , in ether of ths we can run which ever commands we run on the terminal in the Jenkins, it has a good version management, it shows the diff between the versions , and any time we can revert to the older versions, using Jenkins parallel processing are archived, there are lot of plugins available for Jenkins , using which we can do many great things, it uses cron string script for scheduling, you can easily setup Jenkins in the local and experiment on it, it has a great inline documentations, support git integrations too

Cons

its a great tool i don't see any flaws, in the input parameters we could have more input types like drop down , radio buttons options etc, and

### "Jenkins review"

July 9, 2019

5.0

I have used Jenkins for more than 6 months for implementing DevOps culture in our organization to accomplish continuous integrations and continuous delivery for our software developments. It is very easy to use for making software builds. It automatically create build when it trigger code commits.

Pros

Jenkins is an open source software so you can use it for free of charge. It deploys the code instantly and generate reports. It can be install and configured according to the requirement of continuous integrations and continuous delivery. Jenkins is platform independent so that it can run on windows, linux and mac os and it's very easy to install and configure for DevOps.

Cons

Cost of the server that need to install jenkins can not be predicted. Because the load can be increased due to number of commits, volume of code and size of other assets. But, with the use of high performance server we can easily prevent from this issue.

### "The best Opensource CI tool"

July 21, 2021

5.0

Pros

It's an amazing tool that supports software development activities by facilitating Continuous Integration & Continuous Deployment. The pipelines are easily customizable to produce any kind of workflow. It helps us to build and deploy multiple times daily. The community support is great and supports a variety of platforms. The plugins helps to add numerous functionality at will. Overall an amazing product.

Cons

First time, it could seems a bit hard to configure. Also the reporting can be improved. But the merits easily overcomes the demerits for Jenkins.

### "The most feature rich continuous integration solution out there."

September 18, 2020

4.0

Jenkins is great, but it is starting to show it's age some with it's maturity :)

Pros

Flexibilty and Configurability of the system. Lots of plugins available.

Cons

The biggest issue with Jenkins is with the plethora of features comes from volunteers means over time some useful plugins fall by the wayside over time. You may rely a feature that may get deprecated with a no possible path forward. Second problem is that I have a love hate relationship with the Jenkins Pipeline. Great in concept but poor in true testability. Requires a lot scaffolding to test Pipeline code.

### "Great Devops Tool For Sofware Development"

November 24, 2019

5.0

Jenkins helps me to check my build problems and give the appropriate fixes for the build, it's been a great experience and lucky to have this tool as part of my daily software development work. Easy to integrate with third-party tools like Git, Slack for notifications.

Pros

Jenkins provides great automaton features for Software Development, it's must tool for Agile Methodology, very easy to integrate with software like Slack, Git to get the periodic alerts during continuous integration and deployment process.

Cons

UI design can be improved a lot better and artificial intelligence can be integrated with this product.

### "Industry Standard For Testing Automation"

July 12, 2019

5.0

In our business, we are constantly running tests to ensure that our systems are running smoothly. Jenkins is able to handle all of our testing needs and makes it easy for developers and testers to get the results and information they need without taking up too much time.

Pros

Jenkins makes it easy to manage testing. It can handle multiple pipelines of test suites that can easily be started with the push of a button. It's results reporting and parsing is clear and intuitive, making analysis and debugging a much simpler process.

Cons

The UI design is a bit dated. Would be nice to have a more modern looking interface.

January 19, 2023

5.0

Pros

Jenkins is very customizable in every aspect, which makes it attractive. Plus, is free.

### "Near perfect automation server"

August 24, 2018

5.0

Jenkins is highly recommended from my side. It decreases the risks of manual build and helps in maintaining the code quality.

Pros

Jenkins is one of the most preferred automation server in the software development world. The ability to schedule jobs on the go for your software build makes it very handy. It's easy integration with Sonar helps you determine your code quality and performance every time you run a job, making it very very useful for developers.

Cons

The only con is the time required to create a job. But once that's done, it's a cake walk from there on.

### "CI/CD at the finest"

July 21, 2019

5.0

Overall, my experience with Jenkins has been great! There isn't much negatives that I could say about this software except that it meets our needs as a software company and it allows us to ship stuff out to production quickly and without errors.

Pros

We use this to automate most of our builds from staging to production, we even use it for unique cases where we can run mobile tests on different cloud devices all at once. It saves our team lots of time from having to make the deployments and configuration changes into different environments. Deployments would be a lot more time consuming and tedious if we did not have Jenkins to do it for us.

Cons

The least thing that I liked about the software is the configuration of builds, it can be overwhelming as there are plugins that you can get to build many different project types. But as you use the software more, you end up just copying the build configuration from another working project to use as a base for your builds.

### "Continuous integration Tool"

May 6, 2020

5.0

I've been through times when I had to switch from Oracle's JDK to OpenJDK and vice versa, due to high CPU consumption. When configured, the tool is very consistent and facilitates the work of software developers

Pros

\- Open source tool for continuous integration in software projects - Robust application and has a plugin for really everything. Tool that has been in the market for a long time, is very consistent and does what it promises.

Cons

Sometimes taking care of a Jenkins instance is not very easy, it is necessary to have relevant knowledge about the tool, mainly for using Java.

### "Jenkins\_04-07-2022"

July 4, 2022

5.0

Pros

It allows you to turn repetitive tasks into simple functional solutions with the right plugins. You can easily configure the deployment structures of frontend, backend and 3rd party applications, and their parametric management very easily.

Cons

As in many technologies, Jenkins also supports you to achieve the same result in different ways. If you do not have conscious devops personnel, maintenance of deployment scripts becomes incredibly difficult.

### "Jenins Review"

April 15, 2019

4.0

Pros

Jenkins is one of the leading software that enables me to automate part of my job, I can creating scripts using Jenkins to creating folder and set config setting in order to update a release version of our application. With Jenkins I am able to set certain parameters to using specific plug-in that work with a configuration setting that i need to do. Moreover, with Jenkins The installations is super easy there is no need to configure my PC to a certain setting for Jenkins, i just install the software and let it do its own thing. The continuous delivery gives me the ability to create extensive projects that can automate part of my job.

Cons

Not enough Documentation when I need help with a particular plug-in installation. Jenkins does not provide a clear instructions on functionality of a plug-in and sometimes i get stuck with it.

### "Best automation server available"

March 22, 2020

5.0

Jenkins is a must to have for a software company. You can automate many manual tasks with Jenkins. You can save lots of time by using Jenkins.

Pros

It is the best automation server available. You can automate various processes using Jenkins. Jenkins has centralize interface where you can manage your jobs all at once. Easy to understand even with less knowledge about Jenkins. Jenkins job setup is simple yet powerful. Jenkins agents are useful to mange different tasks.

Cons

Jenkins has relatively smaller plugins store. It would be great if there are more plugins. Jenkins doesn't have easy way to see the logs in child jobs. It would be grate if we can see the Jenkins console output from parent pipeline or job

### "The Best CICD pipeline server"

September 13, 2018

4.0

Pros

Jenkins new Blue Ocean features are amazing for working with CICD pipelines. In addition, the pipeline declarative syntax that allows you to define the entire build process in a Jenkinsfile within your code case so that you do not have to manually create jobs from the Jenkins UI is amazing.

Cons

From an administration perspective, sometimes Jenkins can be fickle and difficult to troubleshoot. Luckily there is an enormous community of users so usually a good google search can help get us back on track.
