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

"It is easy to install."
"The most valuable feature is its ability to connect with different tools and technologies."
"It's very useful when you want to automate different processes from beginning to end."
"There are a large number of plugins available for integration with third party systems."
"It's a powerful tool for CI/CD."
"It's fantastic. I like it, and I have no problem with it."
"With Jenkins, the pipeline will take your code from any versioning system like GitHub or Bitbucket. All the security scans can happen in one go and then all the tests also get run. You can just build one container in it and deploy it."
"I can install Jenkins for integration from multiple developers and automate application delivery, staging, and production environments."
"Easy to configure, works well, has 'free' options (like Social)."
 

Cons

"Sometimes, random errors of metadata are not there, which causes delays."
"I would like to see even more integrations included in the next release."
"There might be unnecessary overheads if you're trying to use Jenkins for very simple deployments."
"The major drawback with Jenkins is the lack of support."
"I would like to have an integrated dashboard on top of it and a better UX to look at. The dashboard could be better in terms of integration with other tools. We should be able to have a single pane of glass across all the tools that we use where Jenkins is the pipeline. This can be a very good upgrade to it."
"Polish for the user interface, stability of plugins beyond the very most commonly used ones."
"The solution could improve by having more advanced integrations."
"Some kind of SaaS product would be helpful in providing organizational structure."
"I had a little problem in redeploying applications using a specific framework (reactor + spring) in a Maven multi-module project."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing for Jenkins is free."
"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."
"The solution is one of the lowest costs compared to competitors."
"Jenkins is open source."
"It could be cheaper because there are many solutions available in the market. We are paying yearly."
"Jenkins is an open-source tool."
"We are using the free version of Jenkins. There is not a license required to use the solution because it is open-source."
"Some of the add-ons are too expensive."
