We performed a comparison between Jenkins and Microsoft Azure 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."It has a lot of community posts and support."
"This solution has helped us in automating the build and test process, reducing time."
"The most valuable aspect of Jenkins is pipeline customization. Jenkins provides a declarative pipeline as well as a scripted pipeline. The scripted pipeline uses a programming language. You can customize it to your needs, so we use Jenkins because other solutions like Travis and Spinnaker don't allow much customization."
"Jenkins is very user-friendly."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is its integration between different tools."
"I am not aware of the available options in the market right now compared to Jenkins, but I am pretty much happy with the service that Jenkins is providing our company."
"We really appreciate that this solution is plug and play. When coding in the version control system, this product completes the build process automatically."
"The most valuable features are Jenkins Pipelines for ALM and full Deploy Cycle."
"The solution has high stability."
"In terms of scalability, it is perfect."
"It is a stable solution because it depends on the workload you expect. Based on that data, you can configure how many users it can handle."
"There are several products within Azure."
"It is easy to install."
"Azure is very flexible."
"The stability is very good. The performance is excellent."
"It is easy to deploy."
"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."
"The product should provide more visualization as to how many pipelines are performing and how many builds are happening. It should also integrate with Kubernetes and OpenShift."
"Support should be provided at no cost, as there is no free support available for any of the free versions."
"It could be cheaper."
"The solution could improve by having more advanced integrations."
"There are a lot of things that they can try to improvise. They can reduce a lot of configurations. It is currently supporting Groovy for scripting. It would be really good if it can be improvised for Python because, for most of the automation, we have Python as a script. It would be good if can also support Python. We have a lot of Android builds. These Android builds can be a part of Jenkins. It can have some plug-ins or configurations for Android builds. There should also be some internal matrix to check the performance. We also want to have more REST API support, which is currently not much in Jenkins. We are not able to get more information about running Jenkins. More REST API support should be provided."
"We need more licensed product integrations."
"There is no way for the cloud repositories to trigger Jenkins."
"The product's initial setup process and stability need improvement."
"It would be advantageous if the dashboard had more clarity, in terms of the visibility that it provides."
"The security of the solution could always be much better."
"The level of authorization or authorization cascading can be improved. We have the most powerful admins and then we have sub-admins, but the level of authorization is not that easy to handle or manage."
"The deployment was quite complex."
"The tool needs to improve its navigation."
"More expensive than other solutions without justification."
"Integration with more platforms needs improvement."
