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's very useful when you want to automate different processes from beginning to end."
"Jenkins has excellent task planning features."
"Jenkins optimizes the CI/CD process, enhances automation, and ensures efficiency and management of our build and deployment pipeline."
"Different types of jobs, such as Pipeline, Build, Freestyle, Maven, etc."
"The most valuable features of Jenkins are the integration of automatic scripts for testing and the user's ability to use any script."
"Jenkins has a lot of built-in packages and tools."
"The most valuable feature is its ability to connect with different tools and technologies."
"A lot of support material exists via a single web search of exactly what you're looking for."
"Azure Active Directory: Has powerful security and auditing capabilities that we use to secure all our apps."
"The integration with Databricks is the most valuable aspect of the solution."
"It's very easy to build a new service and get it into production."
"The most valuable feature is the virtual machine."
"In terms of scalability, it is perfect."
"Provisioning a server is fast, taking only one or two minutes before it is ready."
"The pricing is quite good, and it is designed as pay-per-use."
"The solution is user-friendly and compatible."
"Partition security for the workflow of projects is not yet an option."
"The UI of Jenkins could improve."
"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."
"We cannot change the ownership of any directory or file or any kind of directory."
"The onboarding of Jenkins should be smoother, and it should have more pipelines available as it's deployed on many different servers."
"Performance-wise. This needs to be improved. Not only performance-wise, some functionality or some features can be added to Jenkins."
"Jenkins should adopt the Pipeline as Code approach by building a deployment pipeline using the Jenkins file."
"Jenkins needs a faster deployment process."
"I would want Microsoft Azure to provide some credits that can be used to test and validate Microsoft’s different solutions since it is an area where the product lacks."
"The solution should improve the shared cache. For the shared cache, Microsoft uses RADIUS third-party services. We have a lot of trouble with RADIUS and I suppose that is due to the fact that is not owned completely by Microsoft."
"I think Azure Active Directory and also the backup solutions provided in Azure need to be improved by Microsoft. The backup solution is not a very enterprise solution, and it is very simple. I think in comparison with other backup solutions like Nakivo and Veeam Backup, it can be improved to have a lot of options."
"It can be cheaper, which might simplify things a bit."
"Ideally, Microsoft Azure should be compatible with the applications that we are using in my environment."
"Its subscription price could be cheaper."
"The interface is not easy to use. I'd like to see them develop a better interface, more graphical information about the resource and the consumer."
"In the next release, I would like to see better security."
