"The integration is a good feature."
"The solution provides good integrations."
"The integration with other AWS services has streamlined our workflow."
"The integration is a good feature."
"The initial setup is simple."
"When we have manual tasks, we have to depend on multiple technical teams. With Jenkins, we can bring all the technologies together by the click of a button. We can see results without having to depend on different teams. Jenkins makes life easy for the database and DevOps teams."
"This solution has helped us in automating the build and test process, reducing time."
"A lot of support material exists via a single web search of exactly what you're looking for."
"Very easy to understand for newcomers."
"Continuous Integration. Jenkins can integrate with almost any systems used for application development and testing, with its plugins."
"The automated elements are easy to use and you can put them into your server."
"We are using the open-source version and there is a lot of plugins and features that are available and it works on agents for free. In other solutions, it will cost extra to use them with the agent."
"While working on building images for multiple applications within a single script, I encountered an issue where looping functionality was not supported as expected."
"There is no persistent storage or preservation of workspace between the builds."
"The deployment fails sometimes."
"They can further improve the integration of the Bitbucket for CodeBuild."
"It can be improved by including automated mobile reporting integrations."
"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."
"The UI of Jenkins could improve."
"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 enterprise version is less stable than the open-source version."
"Jenkins is an open-source solution, and people tend to stay on the same version for a long time. When you look for an answer on Google, you often find something that doesn't relate to your implementation. The plugins are both the aspect of Jenkins and also one of the worst because the plugins can have different versions, so it's hard to figure out how to solve the problems."
"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 would like to see the addition of mobile simulators support to this solution, as part of its open-source offering. We currently have to carry out manual testing for these platforms."
