Senior Sfotware Engineer Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Easy Deployment/ Easy Delivery" July 31, 2020 4.0 It has helped me achieve so many things with so little knowledge. It is the heart of my orchestration system built for a very large distributed system as a software engineering intern. Because of it's reliability, it is still being used as that. Very easy to use and mixing with your creativity you can achieve almost anything . Pros Ability to perform any kind of deployment/orchestration. Cons Security Vulnerability. It can be attacked from multiple places. Alternatives considered [Travis CI](https://www.capterra.com/p/179183/Travis-CI/)[TeamCity](https://www.capterra.com/p/136011/Teamcity/) Reason for choosing Jenkins Because It was oldest and enough documentations around there for support. and very rich plugins availability. Review Source SM Sagar M. Senior Quality Engineer Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Jenkins Review - Automation perspective" May 5, 2020 4.0 Overall i like Jenkins as a tool very powerful one for CI CD implementation in day to day life. Pros First and foremost thing Jenkins is open source & now a days lot of plugin support for Jenkins makes CI - CD pipeline runs quite smooth with out any hick-ups. Jenkins supports all major version control and user can add native scripts to make runs in pipeline smooth. Also Jenkinsfile in groovy will trigger particular build automation runs (unit, integration, api or UI automation scripts) as soon as new code has been checked in helps a lot in finding bugs in early stage of SDLC. Also user can trigger nightly automation runs and by morning results will be ready. Cons When user is using some reporting like Allure , Extent JS report etc. which heavily relies on Javascript to render beautiful reports. As Jenkins due to some security reasons do not allow JS rendering by default user needs to turn off few things to see reporting. Some time Jenkins may become slow when more jobs are in pipeline and can delay work and may require admin to jump on bounce server nodes. Review Source Shubham K. Cloud Engineer Information Technology and Services Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Jenkins - Greatest of All Time for test automation." February 6, 2023 5.0 my overall experience has been a great one so far Pros what i like most is it provides wide range plugins. Cons managing jenkins dashboard is little hard when we have too many jobs to be executed. Alternatives considered [TeamCity](https://www.capterra.com/p/136011/Teamcity/) Reason for choosing Jenkins Because port flexibility feature available in TeamCity. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Test Automation Lead Information Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Average tool but having nice concept to revolutionize test automation" February 21, 2019 4.0 We are extensively using Jenkins to run our nightly automated test and it works perfectly fine. Pros \- Easy configuration of Job - plenty of plugins available to meet the continous Integration objective - Large open source community support - Build, test , deploy is so easy Cons \- Sometimes it gets crash and need to restart the server Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Sr. Systems and Security Architect Research Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Jenkins is a well thought out Continuous Integration / Continuous Deploy system." June 5, 2018 4.0 My company is able to build, test and deploy our applications as we move forward into the DevOps methods of building software. Pros Jenkins has a lot of people who use it and have no problem letting everyone know how they performed their tasks. The CloudBees company, the support company of Jenkins, is dedicated to the success of Jenkins. It has anumber of nice plug-ins that allow a developer to use PowerShell and other scripting environments. Cons Jenkins is very Java centric. If you do not know Java you find Jenkins a bit difficult to start using. It uses Groovy as its primary scripting language, which is a Java based scripting language. Review Source SS Sudharshan S. Architect Computer Software Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Jenkins definitely a worthy product" August 4, 2022 5.0 Prototyping, fully capable production Pipelines Pros I have used to prototype in several needs Cons I do not like the UI. Wish there were more freeware plugins Review Source Ceppy A. ICT Business Solution Manager Mining & Metals Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Best Deployment Tool" April 28, 2022 4.0 Been using Jenkins for years, love it and ready to move to Jenkins X Pros Integrated with most git/repository platform, intwgrated with most containerized platform and any cloud/on-prem platform Cons Not too easy to use (require basic devops skills) Review Source DO Darren O. Associate Strategist Consumer Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Helps us to sort through data with multiple clients" November 10, 2023 5.0 Pros Jenkins allows us seamlessly switch back and forth between our clients to parse through their data. Cons We only use Jenkins for one purpose and it allows for that, so there isn't any con that I have. Review Source AK Avi K. Software Architect Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Still king of the hill" April 23, 2020 4.0 It requires effort and focused attention, but if you put that effort in you can do anything you need. Though you might find yourself stuck for a while the community support is great and somebody has probably already found a solution you are looking for. Pros Jenkins can be used for all steps in the CI/CD pipeline. It's flexible and not restricted to a single style. Cons Jenkins resource configurations can be hard to figure out at first. You have to grow with usage, and it's not just a quick out of the box solution.

Review Source NL Noé L. IT developer Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Jenkins is a great continuous integration tool" January 9, 2023 5.0 I have used Jenkins for many years and never had to complain Pros Jenkins is a great tool to manage code deployment, testing and reporting, and code quality cheking for multiple projects Cons Jenkins' integration can be a bit difficult and upgrading the software and its addons may take a while if you aren't used to it Review Source Martin P. RTE Internet Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Industry standard for CI/CD" October 5, 2021 5.0 Good Pros Very good tool for CI/CD. It is a standard in the industry. A lot of community support. Cons Horrible UI/UX. Almost ugly and outputting. But you are not using it for the looks. Review Source Adrian A. QA engineer Computer & Network Security Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Proven CI workflows" March 23, 2021 5.0 To be honest there are many great success stories for Jenkins, sure there are other paid and free tools, specially on CI workflows but Jenkins has a proven track record and awesome community support that is hard to beat. Pros Robust and easy to deploy automation server. Makes my test automation workflows possible with little effort and no subscription costs Cons Like many other open source project it can feel a bit outdated on the UI department but this is really just a personal minor complaint . Review Source Trabelsi H. Web developer Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Easy CI/CD for free" August 22, 2019 4.0 Jenkins is one of the best CI/CD system it fits for small projects to big enterprise solutions. It leverages development experience and eliminate routine tasks. Pros Jenkins is one of the best choice when you need a CI/CD system. It easy to setup and install and works well for all operating systems. There is a huge number of plugins that you can install to perform specific tasks or to integrate it with a third party tool. Cons Things start to be more complex especially if you have multiple pipes from different sources. Alternatives considered [GitLab](https://www.capterra.com/p/159806/GitLab/) Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Ecommerce Business Analyst Sporting Goods Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "An Excellent Deployment Tool" March 4, 2020 5.0 We are currently migrating to a new website platform and Jenkins has made this transition as easy as we could have hoped for. Pros We love that Jenkins coordinates and monitors our deployments. The integration with other tools is also very convenient. Every deployment is automatically posted in Google hangouts for the team to see. Cons This is a small gripe, but the UI is incredibly dated looking. The functionality is great, but the tool looks like its 20 years old. Review Source Azeem A. DevOps Intern Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Easy to setup a pipeline that meets your need" July 24, 2019 5.0 Satisfactory Pros Configuring deployment to a site is super easy, it is all click and use. Jenkins plugins are available to allow you to extend its feature e.g a SSH Publish plugin and many more. Easy to use I would say. Cons The refresh on version 2 could have been made better, it should reload without a user noticing the screen refresh. Reason for choosing Jenkins Overall ease of use Switched from [GitLab](https://www.capterra.com/p/159806/GitLab/) It was easier to configure with jenkins Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Software Developer Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Best CI tool for builds" January 29, 2020 5.0 Overall experience have been continuously improving over the time we are exploring more features of jenkins Pros The ease of automating the build process and the ease with which it can be integrated with Git so no manual work is needed Cons Scripting and more scripting but that is kind of base of all programming Review Source KV Karen V. Software Engineer Aviation & Aerospace Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "An older, but great CI/CD tool" August 25, 2022 4.0 Pros Jenkins is the main tool that we use for our CI/CD pipeline. It's great for identifying errors as it continually runs a suite of tests against a commit to ensure that none of our changes broke any important functionalities. I like how Jenkins embraces the idea of tool chain integration, as you can use plug-ins like Selenium to further improve your testing. Cons The biggest con is that it is a bit outdated compared to other CI/CD tools, and it is not the most intuitive to navigate and manage for a new user. I also did not like that a lot of the Jenkins plugins were no longer being maintained/supported. Jenkins also has some latency issues, and it can be difficult to optimize its performance. Review Source BO Bernard O. IT Admin E-Learning Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Jenkins Review" April 21, 2023 4.0 Pros Creating pipelines will always work smooth like with Jenkins never had an issue with it in anyway whatsoever. Cons Better visuals and graphics really. Its not the best looking but gets the job done. Review Source Nir Z. Web Application Team Lead Computer Networking Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Awesome building machine" October 29, 2018 5.0 Pros Very flexible. can run builds, run different jobs, parallel, in queue, run scripts and soooooooooo much more! sometimes feels like they thought about everything that we actually need Cons we have several jenkins machines. the old versions are buggy and sometimes not stable. Review Source CB Christian B. Director of Technology and Integrations Law Enforcement Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Jenkins makes continuous integration dead simple" May 1, 2019 4.0 I had to build hundreds of applications and it would have been impossible without Jenkins. Anyone who wants to produce good and consistent software will need to have a build system. Jenkins is so well known and used, you won't find a team without someone who can use it. The web interface is dead simple and the notifications are essential. Did you break the build? Jenkins will keep you informed. It makes coding a much happier and easier experience. Get it! Pros \- Write your own scripts, run on a schedule - Keeps build output - Tracks overall build health - Notify the whole team when a build breaks - Run build agents on any device Cons \- It can be challenging to debug your custom scripts - Not everything can be done from the web interface (command line required) Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Senior Software Engg Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Jenkins Review" February 29, 2020 3.0 We are using Jenkins for configuring GitHub for pulling the delta/new code changes and deploying them in AWS. And we are achieving this by auto-deploying with the help of Jenkins. Pros Jenkins was helpful in making the deployment of code automatically whenever the code change is pushed into the configured code base software using Jenkins. Cons The only con about Jenkins is that sometimes the code deployment is delayed and need to be triggered manual from Jenkins GUI. Review Source Yuhsiang Y. Data Analyst Insurance Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Great product for work and distribution works" July 15, 2022 4.0 Pros Very user friendly and easy to use, I used this almost daily. Cons Sometimes the error is not very clear for where the distributions go wrong. Review Source YY Yusuf Y. AI & ML Engineer Telecommunications Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Your need for CI & CD" April 21, 2022 5.0 Pros Very easy to write Groovy scripts and deploy to Jenkins. You can ship your application from development environment to production with just a few line of codes. Cons The user interface could be more usable and catchy. Review Source GJ Gaurav J. Assistant consultant Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Achieve synergies by Continues Integration with jenkins" September 7, 2021 5.0 Pros Capability to hook up with any number of standard tools from source code management to testing including unit test, build, code scans, artifact management, deploy, test etc with tools like bitbucket, junit, ms test, nunit, sonar, artifactory, ansible, aws etc Cons Sometimes in case of failures the logs are not straightforward and you need to read between lines or guess/ hit and trial the solution which makes troubleshooting little difficult but overall 90% of time it’s pretty accurate and you can resolve it in seconds Review Source Florian M. QA Engineer Computer Software Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Easy to learn, hard to master" February 22, 2019 5.0 We were able to save some days of work with just an easy setup and are working on more complex one which will save even more. Highly recomend it! Pros There is almost nothing you can't do with jenkins, so many plugins, you can write your own code, your imagination (and coding skill) is basically the limit. Cons Setting up some jobs and do something is really easy, although setting up pipelines and finding the right plugins can be quite complex Review Source Similar Products Featured ## Related categories [Continuous Integration](https://www.capterra.com/continuous-integration-software/)
