Find out what your peers are saying about GitLab, Jenkins, Amazon Web Services (AWS) and others in Build Automation."It's a highly customizable DevOps tool."
"The automated elements are easy to use and you can put them into your server."
"Jenkins has been instrumental in automating our build and deployment processes."
"Very easy to understand for newcomers."
"Configuration management: It is so easy to configure a Jenkins instance. Migrate configuration to a new environment just by copying XML files and setting up new nodes."
"Jenkins has built good plugins and has a good security platform."
"Jenkins' most valuable feature is Pipeline."
"The most valuable feature is its ability to connect with different tools and technologies."
"We use Jenkins to automatically build Python binaries into several OS's i.e. OS X, Ubuntu, Windows 32-bit and Windows 64-bit."
"There's also room for improvement in debugging pipeline issues, which can sometimes become complex."
"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."
"This solution would be improved with the inclusion of an Artifactory (Universal artifact repository manager)."
"Developer documentation for plugins, plugin development, integrations: Sometimes it’s tricky to do pretty obvious things."
"Jenkins relies on the old version of interface for configuration management. This needs improvement."
"We need more licensed product integrations."
"Centralized user management would be helpful."
"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."
"The user interface could be updated a little."
