Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution is scalable and concurrent users have access to the platform."

"GitHub linking is pretty good. We have a deployment application where we can run our tests and add various variables to be passed as assertions to those tests. This is pretty fluid with Jenkins."

"There are a large number of plugins available for integration with third party systems."

"The automated elements are easy to use and you can put them into your server."

"The most valuable feature of the solution is its integration between different tools."

"It is very useful for us to be able to collect and manage automatic processing pipelines."

"Having builds and test tasks triggered on commit helps not to break the product."

"Jenkins is a CI/CD tool and is the most robust tool."

More Jenkins pros

"Testing against multiple run times, versions, and environments is a plus point with the additional pipelines making it more interesting to see what is happening across your development process in a single pane of glass."

"The platform has some amazing features and the integration option makes it very simple to plug with any of our favorite tools."

Cons

"The documentation on plugin development could be better: more examples. "

"The bug fix speed is very slow."

"The enterprise version is less stable than the open-source version."

"Sometimes, random errors of metadata are not there, which causes delays. These are essentially gaps in the information being passed to the job."

"The solution's UI can use a facelift and the logs can use more detailed information."

"We would like to see the addition of mobile simulators support to this solution, as part of its open-source offering. We currently have to carry out manual testing for these platforms."

"Jenkins needs a faster deployment process."

"Support should be provided at no cost, as there is no free support available for any of the free versions."

More Jenkins cons

"They could work on reducing the number of permissions required while using Bitbucket."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The tool is open-source."

"The solution is one of the lowest costs compared to competitors."

"It is free."

"The pricing for Jenkins is free."

"Jenkins is an open-source tool."

"It's free software with a big community behind it, which is very good."

"In our company, we do pay for the licensing of the solution."
