KishoreKumar4 - PeerSpot reviewer
Senior Qe Lead at Cognizant
Consistent automation has improved deployments and supports efficient client-facing workflows
Deployment and other processes are feasible for me, making this a smooth process. The integration part is good. We can use multiple things by integrating with CI/CD pipelines, and this is very feasible for us. This allows us to do our work easily. The productivity is very good. CloudBees is a good and efficient tool. We can work in client-facing scenarios, and since clients have provided these types of tools, we are able to work on them effectively.

YAML-based configuration and simple deployment but user interface needs modernizing
Travis CI is an okay tool, and I am forced to use it as part of my job. I don't maintain it; it is running somewhere else, and I don't have control over it. The interface is very basic and not user-friendly; it feels like it was stuck in 2010. It is very basic and designed for lightweight CI work, and it cannot handle heavy CI. You cannot do branched flows, and you will have to write shell scripts to send calls here and there. The pipelines are not as detailed as some other CI/CD tools. If Travis is down, you don't have any control over it and need to reach out to their customer support.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable features are Java features, microservice communication, payment validation, Jenkins Sonar, management master to CloudBees, Blue Ocean, JobConfig, and support."
"CloudBees is a good and efficient tool."
"I find the automation feature most valuable. CloudBees is highly scalable and supports both small and large teams. The deployment process is also faster when compared to on-premise."
"It can manage multiple Jenkins instances."
"The solution's most valuable feature is its flexibility."
"CloudBees is a user-friendly tool."
"Scalability largely depends on how the tool is set up within your infrastructure"
"CloudBees is the Jenkins tool for building and deploying. There's open-source Jenkins, which is free and can be used by any organization, but it offers a different architecture for Jenkins. If your organization is larger, you might choose the architecture. This way, you can have different masters for different applications, and different teams can manage their masters separately. However, a single person can still control all the masters, whoever manages it for the organization."
"The only thing I like about Travis CI is that you have a YAML file to define a Travis flow."
 

Cons

"For CloudBees, I can suggest that the log is very high, which is very hectic for us when trying to find which error is coming."
"The problem with CloudBees is that when you merge it, the pipelines would randomly fail multiple times."
"The platform could integrate better with other tools and support external tools directly."
"If you're logged in and working for about thirty minutes and then go idle for five to ten minutes, Jenkins will prompt you to re-authenticate."
"It could improve the document upload process."
"I would like to see improved speed and availability."
"When I started with CloudBees, I found the configuration at the CD level to be quite challenging when creating end-to-end orchestration or release execution flows."
"Sometimes, there are performance issues, however, they may be due to our organization's configuration."
"The interface is very basic and not user-friendly; it feels like it was stuck in 2010."
