Rajat Rawat - PeerSpot reviewer
DevOps Specialist at a manufacturing company with 5,001-10,000 employees
Deployment agent that allows us to deploy out to various other servers but doesn't provide build automation
I would rate this solution as six out of ten. There isn't a big learning curve. It's a very straightforward and simple tool. It can be used anywhere to deploy your code or to configure files. I would recommend it, but there are already better tools in the market. We feel that it's probably not the best tool available, even though we have used it for quite some time. The automation with the REST APIs and other types of APIs isn't that great. There are some things you need to do manually to set up the tool. Other tools provide things you can do automatically through APIs. Inedo BuildMaster is a good tool if you want to have some deployments in your company. The problem is that it's a very limited tool and needs some additional features, like an approval based process for REST APIs. It only works for deployment-related things. These days, tools like Jenkins and DevOps are coming up with build automation. Because Inedo BuildMaster is a deployment-centered tool, you'll need to use a different tool for build automation, which makes it less likely to be used. If they work on that aspect, the solution would be better.

Automated pipelines have halved deployment time and allow developers to focus only on coding
The best features that Jenkins offers me are high customizability along with the support of Groovy language, which allows me to write my own functions and logic to deploy applications and configure the pipeline according to my use case. Its high integration capability with many plugins is also a significant advantage. For example, we have certain cloud functions running on Google Cloud Run, and we deploy those in the form of containers. Jenkins is highly integratable with Docker through plugins, so we installed those plugins in Jenkins and provided the credentials and logic for execution. Additionally, we have a Bitbucket environment and AWS deployments where we also use Jenkins' strong AWS plugins to deploy resources effectively. Thanks to these plugins, it's easy to deploy rather than creating custom logic. I have covered pretty much everything about the features of Jenkins.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Technical support is quick to respond. I haven't had any issues with them."
"We have started to integrate Pipelines as a part of a build, and built a library of common functions. It simplified and made our build scripts more readable."
"Jenkins is a CI/CD tool and is the most robust tool."
"Jenkins has allowed for streamlined automated testing, building, and smoke testing of release candidates."
"We use Jenkins to automatically build Python binaries into several OS's i.e. OS X, Ubuntu, Windows 32-bit and Windows 64-bit."
"This solution has provided us with better quality and less time to market for our software products."
"Jenkins's automation and orchestration features have significantly improved workflows by automating various processes. Initially, it did not support YAML manifesting or GitOps, but recent versions have introduced these capabilities. Now, the tool supports importing manifest files from Git repositories, enabling the implementation of GitOps pipelines. Compared to other tools like GitLab, it has become a mature tool for running CI/CD pipelines."
"In my opinion, this is the best open source solution for CI and CD."
"We really appreciate that this solution is plug and play, and when coding in the version control system, this product completes the build process automatically."
 

Cons

"The documentation should be better. It should be very easy to call REST APIs, and the documentation has to be perfect for that."
"It could be cheaper because there are many solutions available in the market."
"Jenkins could improve by adding the ability to edit test automation and make time planning better because it is difficult. It should be easier to do."
"In my opinion, there is an issue with the scalability. After Jenkins has big count of jobs, it begins to lose performance and you need to start one more server with a separate Jenkins and migrate some jobs there."
"We need more licensed product integrations."
"It would be better if there were an option to remove its Java dependency. This would make it more compatible with other software, and it could be much better. At present, we have to depend on Java whenever we want to deploy agents."
"Jenkins could improve in areas related to Kubernetes and Docker container integration, like machine allocation of nodes and Marshaling integration improvements."
"It could be cheaper."
"The user interface could definitely be improved, and I rate it close to zero."

"Some of the add-ons are too expensive."
"The solution is open source."
