Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It is easy to use."

"Has enabled full automation of the company."

"The most valuable feature is its ability to connect with different tools and technologies."

"I like that you can find a wide range of plugins for Jenkins."

"Jenkins is stable, user-friendly, and helps with continuous integration. As of today, I can't see any tool that's better than Jenkins."

"Also, the ability to customize these plugins is valuable. Its user-friendliness stands out, especially in its user interface which allows easy installation and configuration."

"Continuous Integration. Jenkins can integrate with almost any systems used for application development and testing, with its plugins."

"Jenkins has a lot of built-in packages and tools."

More Jenkins pros

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

"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."

Cons

"Adding support for OIDC and internal user databases simultaneously would improve Jenkins."

"UI is quite outdated."

"Jenkins is not an easy solution to use and the configuration is not simple. They can improve the solution by adding a graphical interface that is more user-friendly."

"Jenkins relies on the old version of interface for configuration management. This needs improvement."

"Jenkins should adopt the Pipeline as Code approach by building a deployment pipeline using the Jenkins file."

"The documentation could be more friendly, and more examples of how to use it."

"Its schedule builds need improvement. It should have scheduling features in the platform rather than using external plug-ins."

"Partition security for the workflow of projects is not yet an option."

More Jenkins cons

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

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The open-source version is free, but small companies would not be able to afford the cloud-based version."

"It is an open source."

"There is no cost. It is open source."

"Jenkins is a free solution, it is open source."

"We are using the free version of Jenkins. There is not a license required to use the solution because it is open-source."

"This is an open-source solution for the basic features. However, if an organization wishes to include specific functionality, outside of the basic package, there are extra costs involved."

"We are using the freeware version of Jenkins."

"We are using the free version of Jenkins. There are no costs or licensing."

More Jenkins pricing and cost advice

"The pricing is the cheapest compared to the other platforms out there."

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…
