Pros It runs your builds faithfully and collects any sorts of information about the results. Integrations and plugins mean that it fits in whatever pipeline you have. It's battle tested and stable. Cons The age of the architecture shows, Blue Ocean has a subset of features forcing to juggle with the old interface. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Programmer Analyst Consumer Goods Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Jenkins automates your project compilements and deployments" February 17, 2021 5.0 great software to automate any deployments to, for example, QA or dev environments after a branch for example "testing" is checked in. This helps test faster and remove the load to the developer. Pros Jenkins can be automated to automatically compile and/or deploy any revisions that oyu have made to SVN, GIT, and others. It can be done to a branch or to any branch. You can select the environment to deploy and many more things. This depends of the developer that creates the script for the deployment but after that you can automate it that when it detect a change in your repository to take action. Cons It requires someone to take care of it and develop all the scripts for the automatic deployments. This requires specific knowledge or training but that reduces the complexity for the other users.

Powerful features for expressing complex pipelines. Cons Plugins often break when used in certain combinations making it nerve-wracking to upgrade. Review Source JS Justin S. DevOps Engineer Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "The Nagios of CI tools: old, clunky, but still "works"" February 17, 2020 3.0 Nobody ever got fired for choosing Nagios as an IT monitoring tool, and nobody ever got fired for choosing Jenkins as a CI tool. However, both products are, in my estimation, relics from an age when better options really weren't available. Jenkins is free, widely used, and has a vibrant ecosystem. However, at this point, I feel certain that it's coasting on its past reputation. Before settling for Jenkins, I would carefully examine more modern products in this space such as GitLab CI. Pros Jenkins can be set up on-premise and comes with no licensing fees. Considering the cost of some CI platforms, that's a HUGE advantage. There are enough plugins that you can find added functionality for almost anything. Cons Jenkins can be kind of like WordPress - there is such heavy reliance on plugins that they can sometimes cause unexpected behavior when interacting with each other. Jenkins is significantly harder to get started with than something like GitLab CI. When tasked with creating pipelines for my own development projects, I opted for GitLab CI, and I feel like I'm missing absolutely nothing. The stock Jenkins interface is absolutely horrible. It looks like a leftover from 10+ years ago. (Another similarity with NAgios...) Review Source Mohit A. Principal Consultant Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Jenkins for CICD" November 17, 2022 5.0 Pros Jenkins provides many plugins and configurations and latest feature of pipeline as code is very good. Cons Can enhance more plugins integrations and make it more compatible with continuous delivery. Review Source Pavan S. Sr.Consultant Insurance Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great code build tool" January 23, 2019 4.0 Overall it is great toom to build my .net applications and connects seamlessly with Github and with Jfron artifactory and Octopus Deploy Pros It is great code build tool for my .net applications and integrates seamlessly with Github and it contains rich set of plugins for various activities Cons Sometimes it gets slow with multiple apps building up it and gets mysterious with apps builds on one mode and fails on other node. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Principal Consultant Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Perfect tool for DevOps automation" July 11, 2021 5.0 Excellent tool and ecosystem to drive DevOps related SDLC processes like continuous integration and delivery Pros Great automation to drive CI/CD automation of Software development. Very easy to setup, configure and maintain. Has huge community support and plugins to integrate different tools Cons RBAC can be improved, we have to use plugins to setup the same. Setting up SAML based authentication was a bit tedious. Review Source Saranga D. Associate Technical Lead Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Great build platform for no cost" August 17, 2019 4.0 Jenkin provides many features at no cost as it's an open source tool. In initial phase it might take some time and effort to make it configured to run smoothly. But then afterwards, when people are familiar with the tool it requires less. Pros \* Ability to even analyze test cases \* Rich set of options for CI/CD operations \* Contain different build pipelines (normal projects, parameterized projects, etc...) \* Can develop our own plugins as well as various pre-developed plugins are available Cons \* Not easy to setup in some environments (specially in mac) Alternatives considered [Travis CI](https://www.capterra.com/p/179183/Travis-CI/) Review Source CT Carlos T. DevOps Manager Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Jenkins - CI Mean Machine" May 10, 2022 5.0 Pros Ease of use and seamless integration with other pieces of software used. Cons The UI is stuck in the 90's. By now I would expect for the UI to be a bit more user friendly especially for new users. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Senior Software Engineer Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "One of best CICD tool" December 4, 2019 5.0 Overall I would say it is good, If you want use CICD go for it. Pros I am using Jenkins for more than 5 years for CICD, It has great feature for pulling the code from Codebase and automatically start building. History of Build is availbe at Jenkins is great feature. It is secure Cons Sometimes it becomes very tough for the newer to configure Jenkins on the server. But Overall it can be ignored.

DevOps Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Jenkins - A must have tool" August 10, 2018 4.0 Build and Deployment are handled using Jenkins. Integration with Gitlab. Our daily automation suite run over jenkins. Pros \> Easy to install, easy setup, open source. > Supports lots of operating systems > Supports Maven build, Gradle build, Wrappers. > Can schedule daily jobs to run automatically. > Good set of plugins. > Clone jenkins setup option is there. Cons \> Doesn't support multiple apps to be selected and deploy one after other automatically, have to select and deploy each app individually, explicitly using for loop and delimiter we can make it work like that but if any plugin is there, that would be much helpful. > Sometimes plugin becomes too confusing to use, as with the same name have multiple plugins, should have proper documentation on what does what plugin do. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer DevSecOps Engineer Computer Software Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Jenkins: Best Open Source CI tool" July 24, 2021 5.0 Jenkins is a great tool for setting up the CICD pipelines for both on-prem and cloud platforms. Pros 1\. It's opensource and free 2. Tons of plugins available to add features 3. Great community support available Cons 1\. User interface is very old and outdated 2. Managing Jenkins server is difficult 3. Integration with some key cloud providers isn't available Review Source AN André N. Principal Software Engineer Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Extremely powerful and configurable CI" June 15, 2020 4.0 I've been quite happy with Jenkins so far, as it allows us to have full control over our CI/CD infrastructure. Pros \- free - extremely extensible - very configurable - cross platform - easy to get up and running - declarative pipelines - good documentation Cons \- user interface got stuck in the 90's (there's still hope with blue ocean) - some more complex pipelines are not yet supported (e.g. nested parallel) Switched from [GoCD](https://www.capterra.com/p/147886/GoCD/) GoCD was very sluggish and brittle, due to a single configuration for the whole instance. It is also far less configurable and extensible than Jenkins.

There is a huge plugin network to do exactly what you want and what you need.
