Find out what your peers are saying about GitLab, Jenkins, Amazon Web Services (AWS) and others in Build Automation."We never experienced any problems with scalability."
"The most valuable features of Jenkins are its ease of use and good plugins available. You are able to connect to a lot of solutions."
"Continuous Integration. Jenkins can integrate with almost any systems used for application development and testing, with its plugins."
"This solution has helped us in automating the build and test process, reducing time."
"The simplicity of Jenkins and the evolving ecosystem of Jenkins are most valuable. Today, you do not have to write a pipeline from scratch. The library functionality of Jenkins helps you to bring all those in ready-made, and you also get the best practices for them. That is a great feature of Jenkins, and that is why it is being used significantly."
"This is a great integration tool and very powerful."
"I like that you can find a wide range of plugins for Jenkins."
"Jenkins allows us to automate deployment, so I no longer have to do it manually. That's the primary use case. The other advantage of Jenkins is that it's open source. It was free for me to download and install. It's a product that's been in use for many years, so I can find a lot of support online for any issues that I may encounter while configuring anything for a given use case."
"Different types of jobs, such as Pipeline, Build, Freestyle, Maven, etc."
"I would like to see additional support for things outside of Cloud Foundry."
"Improvement-wise, I would want the solution's user interface to be changed for the better. In short, the solution can be made more user-friendly."
"I would like them to provide space for people to have a central node that stores all the logs of workspace information in a distributed fashion to facilitate backup and restoration. Currently, everything is stored on one node, so you need to set up distributed storage or an endpoint that you can use for backing up your information."
"Logging could be improved to offer a clearer view."
"Jenkins can be improved, but it's difficult for me to explain. The initial setup could be more straightforward. If you connect Jenkins with bookings and lockouts, it can be challenging."
"Sometimes you have Jenkins restarting because of OOM errors."
"Jenkins could improve by allowing more scripting languages. We need to use Groovy scripting and it is difficult to debug and it is not ideal for creating file scripts. We tried to search for assistance but we did not find much help."
"Jenkins should adopt the Pipeline as Code approach by building a deployment pipeline using the Jenkins file."
"This solution would be improved with the inclusion of an Artifactory (Universal artifact repository manager)."
