Data Engineer Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "A great tool for deployment control" March 12, 2023 5.0 We use Jenking along with BitBucket which is our main Git repository for version control. These tools are connected so that we use the master branch in BitBucket to switch and update versions between our different environments like DEV, Test and PROD. Pros I like the fact that Jenkins is a really customizable tool for deployments. In your Jenkins jobs you can choose between deploying some of the features of your branch and also impose rules of deployment like what will be deployed first and last to check for dependencies and prevent errors. Cons There is nothing that I do not like in Jenkings. The UI is very simple and easy to use. The only thing I could say here is that some times the errors in the console output are not very straight forward in order to understand what component of the deployment really failed.

Pros Best of Jenkins is it comes with wide range of the plugin suite and is used as the automation server software that can achieve continuous integration. It supports wide range of the operating system like UNIX,LINUX,Windows,etc. Good thing is it is open source and can we used with wide range of the major tools like CVS,GIT,ANT,Maven etc. Jenkins is easy to use and is very flexible. In jenkins we can integrate large number of the servers as a result team across the world can work continuously integrating the project.Jenkins helps the developers in customizing the tool.In all most all the enterprise applications these Jenkins are used as a main tool for the continuous build and integration tool. Cons The least about the software is that there is only the tracking on version control but there is no tracking on jenkins itself which is a major drawback. Cost of the Jenkins is unpredictable and may vary time by time. This Jenkins has another drawback as this does not allow the commit made by one person to be view by another person and tracking the Jenkins build process is bit difficult in large projects Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Platform Engineer Banking Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Jenkins - Feature Rich tool for CI/CD but ugly UI " October 13, 2022 4.0 Jenkins is an absolutely great tool for CI/CD & testing of your source code repositories. It allows branching strategies to work seamlessly & enables administrator to give very specific roles to users as well. One of the best things I like about Jenkins is the ability to re-run any failed pipeline & simply removing the stages that are not required to be run again so it can focus on failed part only. Pros Jenkins provides best & seamless integrations with any source code repositories. It's very easy to get started with Continuous integration, continuous delivery & testing environment with Jenkins. It also has huge number of plugins to help create pipelines in a complex use-case. Can be easily integrated with slack or other messaging platform for alerts. Also allows easy scheduling & re-run for failed pipelines. Cons Feature wise Jenkins is great, but it comes with a very outdated UI which I just find ugly. Navigation & feature enablement can be rather easy if they work on their UI & make it up to mark with other alternatives like circleCI Alternatives considered [CircleCI](https://www.capterra.com/p/150380/CircleCI/) Reason for choosing Jenkins Better features & a rather seamless integration with most source code repositories.

We are integrating it with Blazmeter for automation load testing. We can track all deployment from console and also track log if we are facing any issues. It has best GUI which will update about each CI/CD pipeline state. Pros Jenkins is best CI/CD pipeline automation tool. We are using this for all our project repository. It's syntax is very easy to learn. I am using this for regular pipeline deployment as well as the scheduled pipeline trigger based on the regular expression. It reads the mapping from jules file and deploy code to mapped environment. Cons No issue find yet. As per me it's best CI/CD automation tool. Review Source João Q. Software Architech Information Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Overall very good " September 8, 2023 5.0 Pros It is highly extensible and It is easy to use. Cons It can be a security risk - Jenkins is a web application, so it is susceptible to security attacks. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Line Producer & Sysops Admin Computer Games Used the software for: 2+ years ### "The best open source solution for build machines" February 11, 2021 4.0 I would strongly recommand to consider Jenkins for your build machines. It's free, powerful and offers a lot of options that payed solution might not even propose. Pros Jenkins is fully open source, making it easy to install on almost any system. Jenkins comes with many different plugins that allows you to use it with your favorite Engine, versioning solution, etc... Jenkins offers many different ways of creating builds scenario, easy to understand steps, and strong scripting Cons It's not always easy to find support, and you might need to rely on your web searching skills in order to find some help. Updates can sometimes break plugins so you need to be careful with those. Luckly enough, there are ways to revert updates if necessary. It's not for Everyone, since setting up a server could take time and a lot of trial and errors. Alternatives considered [TeamCity](https://www.capterra.com/p/136011/Teamcity/) Reason for choosing Jenkins We were already used to Jenkins from our previous project and the plugins available with Jenkins, for our versioning solution, are better maintained and more up to date than the TeamCity ones. Review Source Hung V. Solution Architecture Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Powerful CICD tool to handle all stage in pipeline" December 17, 2019 5.0 We use Jenkins as the main CICD in our project, we organize jobs with similar function into Group, we create jobs for the build, compile, and unit test each time a developer check-in their code to a specified branch and build a new version of artifact when having master branch commit. We add some additional plugin and create Jenkins jobs for run system test, automation test, and integration test automatically when having new commit to master and have jobs for deploy our new code to destination VMs on demand. Pros Jenkins is very simple to installation and configuration as standalone or cluster, just a few clicks to get Jenkins ready, it is flexible and easy to create Pipeline and Job from UI or by YML file. Jenkins support many plugins allows it easy to integrate with other tool and software such as AWS, Sonar, JMeter... and Jenkins support almost major language and OS. Cons Jenkins UI is simple and it is hard for manage when we have a large number of jobs and pipelines. It does not have features for tracking job history, sometimes accident deletes or changes a job and we unable to recover it. Alternatives considered [GitLab](https://www.capterra.com/p/159806/GitLab/) Reason for choosing Jenkins We choose Jenkins as it is simple and flexible but powerfull to handle our CICD pipeline, it is popular and easy to find document and support from the community and easy to integrate with our source repository on Bitbucket, it also works well with our technology stack including Jmeter, Selenium, Java, Tomcat and AWS Review Source VR Verified Reviewer SDET Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Hero of all the CICD tools alive" January 14, 2023 5.0 Saves our timeIncresed our productivityAutomated so many daily tasksDeployment happens automatically without manual interventions Pros Free open source toolTesting processContinous IntigrationContinous deploymentRelease process streamlinePipeline management Cons Web UI needs improvementNothing from functionality wise Reason for choosing Jenkins Because its opensource and best available CICD tool Review Source AG Andrew G. Software Engineer Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Quick build user turning Jenkins" October 17, 2022 4.0 I use jenkins daily as a build and deployment tool in an enterprise software setting. Pros The build monitoring and deployment automation are the key features for me. It also integrates well with version control. Cons I like the quick build layout and UI better Switched from [QuickBuild](https://www.capterra.com/p/171023/QuickBuild/) Only switched for certain apps that are cloud managed Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Web Developer Computer Software Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Jenkins for Web Developers" November 20, 2023 4.0 Pros Its open source which means free of use with no cost. It can easily catch bugs and automate the testing process, making it fast. Cons It can be tough to understand as a beginner if you are configuring complex build pipelines or integrating many plugins. Alternatives considered [Travis CI](https://www.capterra.com/p/179183/Travis-CI/)[GitLab](https://www.capterra.com/p/159806/GitLab/) Reason for choosing Jenkins Jenkins is widely used and it is open source Switched from [GitLab](https://www.capterra.com/p/159806/GitLab/)[Azure DevOps](https://www.capterra.com/p/170547/VSTS-DevOps/) It was an internal company decision to switch softwares Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Software Technical Architect Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Jenkins - Your best friend for CI/CD." May 27, 2019 5.0 I am using Jenkins to implement our CI/CD processes and boost our development team productivity. Pros \* Easy installation, it's really easy to install and configure, in a couple of hours you can have your Jenkins server up and running. \* Cross-platform: You can have your Jenkins master on Linux, and your slaves in Linux/Windows. \* It has a plug-in for everything. I am using plug-ins to integrate with Git/JIRA/Slack/Maven/Python/etc. \* Manage Jenkins is easy and user-friendly. \* You can configure your CI/CD pipelines, it's a very flexible tool. \* Schedule jobs are easy to set and reliable, you can trust them to run scheduler tasks. \* You can have your automation on Jenkins, once deployment pipeline is done, you can trigger your automation testing. It's great because you have everything in one single place and everything is coordinated. Cons \*When Jenkins slave is installed on Windows as service, and your server receives a Java update, sometimes your slave will get broken. I have faced this issue several times, and it's difficult to debug what is happening. The best option is to uninstall the slave has service and re-install. Review Source SD Sudipta D.

Software Quality Assurance and Automation Computer Software Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Jenkins for test automation" August 29, 2019 5.0 As a Software Quality Assurance and Automation, my main job after writing and automating the tests, is being able to run the tests daily. When the test base exceeds ten test cases, it becomes difficult and time consuming to execute test cases daily. That's why I use Jenkins, as it allows me to run my test cases daily, and the best part is that I can run mobile and web test cases, and test cases that combine the two. I created a jenkins job to execute the tests daily, and send me and to my team the execution report by email. The report contains all the passes and fails and screenshots of the failed test cases, the consumed time and the percentage of the passed and failed. I simply couldn't find a better tool to execute automated test cases. Pros \-The execution of the test cases on a daily basis -Executing mobile and web test cases -Recover the automation code from git for the test execution -The high quality reports generated by jenkins, that contain the time exeuction, the passes and fails, screenshots of the failed steps and the exact code line where the test failed -Configuring the email list where the report is sent -The easiness of use when it comes to checking the report -The free Jenkins documentation online On top of all, Jenkins is free :D Cons \-It is very hard to create a Jenkins job for beginners Reason for choosing Jenkins It is by far the best of its kind and it's free.

Automation Test Specialist(SDET) Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Review for Jenkins" May 9, 2022 4.0 I have used Jenkins on cloud instances to run Java, Python, Shell as well as Robot framework scripts for various projects. Using Jenkins in my projects have reduced the dependency of running code from local system and have reduced execution time. The scripts can be easily run by anyone who has access to those Jenkins instance. Also, client can easily view the results of past runs of the jobs from Jenkins. Pros Jenkins is an essential tool for running automated scripts without human intervention. Jenkins can be directly integrated with the scripts stored in github via Jenkins Source Code Management and those scripts can be run using Jenkins projects. Various kinds of projects like Free style, maven projects can be created using Jenkins. Also, in the Post Build options mail ids can be configured to send reports and alerts after completion of test run. The Jenkins jobs can be selected to run in various suitable schedules daily, weekly or as required. Cons The configuration part of Jenkins is bit complicated. Not all Jenkins plugins are compatible with the code and updating Jenkins configuration is a cumbersome process. Also, sometimes, the Jenkins instances slow down a lot increasing the code execution time.

Cost is moderate for the specifications it provides. Best CI/CD in the market. Pros One of the best ci/cd tool available in the market with less cost. This can be easily integrated with Github and jobs can be easily automated. Pipelines can be easily written in json language with predefined structures that are already present. Cons Backing up of the pipelines is little difficult compared to other applications and Jenkins team is working on the same , I hope it will be taken care asap. Customer care support can be improved . Reason for choosing Jenkins Cost effective compared to other products.

And will be using in future too. Pros Installation and management is pretty much straight forward. And it can be deploy as a docker container which is a major plus point. Cons The UI interface is need more development when comparing to other tools. And rectifying build issues are harder. Alternatives considered [AWS CodePipeline](https://www.capterra.com/p/234449/AWS-CodePipeline/) Reason for choosing Jenkins The Pricing and the compatibility (availability of plugins) Review Source RS Rajiv S. Senior Software Engineer Computer Software Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "CICD review of Jenkins" December 16, 2023 5.0 I am delighted with the use of Jenkins as it makes me in control and provides useful features for configuration and management for integration and deployment Pros Jenkins provide easy build, pipeline, Version Control Management with ease of usability and control Cons Understanding the failure logs should be simplified Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Lead Software Test Automation Engineer Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Flexible and constantly developing software for building robust Continuous Delivery" July 29, 2018 4.0 We visualized and streamlined our software release process thanks to Jenkins pipelines. Pros Rich set of functions that allow to schedule different software processes execution. Even more rich choice of plugins an ease to develop own plugin. We use Jenkins to streamline software we develop releases. We have changes signed daily for release and this is where Jenkins pipelines come to the stage. As soon as developer code is ready for review, it goes through automatic code quality checkup before other people start to review it. After review Jenkins takes care of the rest of phases such us preparing and deploying integration build and then safe roll out to our production servers Cons Not much options available for making backups. We also experienced serious issues when trying to perform major upgrade of Jenkins: the error was that Jenkins can no longer read job configs of older format (while we expected it converts all jobs automatically). As a result we need to perform a piece of manual work to perform an upgrade. Review Source SM Shreyash M. Software Engineer Investment Banking Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Simple but efficient" August 26, 2022 5.0 Very clean and efficient Pros Very easy to create and customize multiple pipelines to handle all kinds of jobs for CI/CD Cons Slightly unfriendly user interface. Can be sometimes unclear as to what can be done Switched from [TeamCity](https://www.capterra.com/p/136011/Teamcity/) Teamcity was a lot of bells and whistles and also expensive Review Source Uddipan M.

The process makes software deployment very easy. Integration with git hub along with several plugins are very useful. Pros Jenkins is easy to learn software tool to ensure support automated deployments. Easy structure, pipeline management, effective security control helps, plugins, etc helps the product to be globally acceptable.

April 26, 2022 5.0 Since when we adopted Jenkins (back in the middle age), our lives changed drastically for better! Today it is a vital piece in our CI/CD pipeline. Jenkins allows us to deliver better software, as we can identify almost on the fly automatic testing problems or building / integration errors. Pros Easy to install, manage and use. Dashboard very intuitive. Learning curve is very short , a walk on the park! Cons Difficult to say what I don´t like. Maybe the logo showing a guy using a red bow tie. Or wait! I got it! He is like a James Bond / 007 agent disguised, ready to find, kill, eliminate blockers and bugs in our software development process!!! Review Source shaik A.
