We performed a comparison between Jenkins and Nx based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about GitLab, Jenkins, Amazon Web Services (AWS) and others in Build Automation."This is a great integration tool and very powerful."
"The auto-schedule feature is valuable. Another valuable feature is that Jenkins does not trigger a build when there is no change in any of the systems. Jenkins also supports most of the open-source plug-ins."
"The solution is scalable and concurrent users have access to the platform."
"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."
"For business needs, Jenkins is the most relevant choice because it can be self-hosted, the price is good, it’s robust, and requires almost no effort for maintenance."
"The most valuable feature of Jenkins is its open source."
"Automation of chores like deployment, frequent manual tasks (like running scripts on test and production systems) reduced the time used and the number of errors made by engineers, freeing them to do meaningful work instead."
"The most valuable features of Jenkins are creating builds, and connecting them with Sonar for Sonar analysis. Additionally, we connect it with other vulnerability tools, such as WhiteSource which is useful."
"I really like Nx because it is easy to use and works right away."
"Partition security for the workflow of projects is not yet an option."
"Jenkins takes a long time to create archive files."
"Jenkins could simplify the user interface a little bit because it sometimes creates too many features cramped in the UI."
"It would be helpful if they had a bit more interactive UI."
"The onboarding of Jenkins should be smoother, and it should have more pipelines available as it's deployed on many different servers."
"The bug fix speed is very slow."
"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."
"Support should be provided at no cost, as there is no free support available for any of the free versions."
"There are aspects of Nx that could be improved, particularly the desktop interface, which I find quite unappealing, mostly in black and white."
