Automation has saved hours and now generates multiple mobile builds and store deployments daily
One of the best features is setting up multiple applications. The best feature is that we have a single code for multiple applications and multiple keystores for generating multiple applications and multiple APKs. Bitrise has the support to use multiple keystores, by which we can generate multiple unique applications and deploy them directly to the Play Store. Bitrise is positively impacting our organization by saving manual effort—saving two hours of every developer effort. In Android, it saves two hours, but in iOS, when we are generating the iOS build, it takes more than an hour. With Bitrise, as a team of 10 to 12 people, we are able to independently generate the build and save overall 20 to 40 hours per day. If a developer saves two hours of time, he can spend these two hours on any particular feature or any CRS completion. We just need to go to Bitrise and generate the build, and the build will create in parallel while I can complete my work on my local system.

Has a community of plugin providers but needs improvement in Kubernetes integration
Integrating Jenkins with other tools or solutions has presented some challenges. For instance, when attempting to integrate Jenkins with Kubernetes, I encountered numerous errors, which took several days to resolve. In Jenkins, adding a feature typically involves incorporating the repository feature separately. Jenkins lacks built-in Git repository functionality, necessitating an external Git repository to store Jenkins manifests. In contrast, GitLab offers an integrated Git repository and pipeline runner, streamlining the process. One improvement for Jenkins could be integrating a Git server, simplifying the management of CI/CD pipelines. Currently, with Jenkins, modifying pipeline manifests requires navigating to a separate Git repository. In GitLab, however, manifest changes can be made directly within the repository.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"With Bitrise, as a team of 10 to 12 people, we are able to independently generate the build and save overall 20 to 40 hours per day."
"It's very easy to learn."
"I like the business logs. It's a very useful tool. Client-server communication is also very fast."
"Jenkins optimizes the CI/CD process, enhances automation, and ensures efficiency and management of our build and deployment pipeline."
"I like that you can find a wide range of plugins for Jenkins."
"The most valuable feature is its ability to connect with different tools and technologies."
"It can scale easily."
"Jenkins's open-based framework is very valuable."
"Jenkins allows us to automate deployment, so I no longer have to do it manually. That's the primary use case. The other advantage of Jenkins is that it's open source. It was free for me to download and install. It's a product that's been in use for many years, so I can find a lot of support online for any issues that I may encounter while configuring anything for a given use case."
 

Cons

"Bitrise has to work more on the error part. Sometimes I face issues when I trigger a build to generate, and I get a build failed without getting the proper log, which sometimes makes the user too annoyed."
"Adding support for OIDC and internal user databases simultaneously would improve Jenkins."
"Jenkins could have better cloud functionality. Currently, we are using the existing legacy model, but we are moving toward the cloud, so it would be great if they could improve in that area. In the future, I would like more cloud features and related training materials, like a video tutorial."
"Better and easy-to-use integration with Docker would be an improvement."
"There are some issues with Jenkins, especially with the SIP job."
"There are some difficulties when we need to execute the DB script."
"This solution could be improved by removing the storage of unnecessary data such as the history of test deployments that were unsuccessful."
"They need to improve their documentation."
"I would like to see even more integrations included in the next release."

I generally find TeamCity a lot more intuitive than Jenkins.
Moving to TeamCity from Jenkins At work, we’re slowly migrating from Jenkins to TeamCity in the hope of ending some of our recurring problems with continuous integration. My use of Jenkins prior to this job has been almost strictly on a personal basis, although I pretty much only use Travis…
