We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"It is saving time for developers, which is saving money for the company."

More Incredibuild Pros →

"The initial setup is pretty simple.""It is a stable solution.""The most valuable features of Jenkins are the ease of use and the information about how to use the features is readily available on the internet. Additionally, with the solution, I can use other reporting tools, such as Flow.""Jenkins is very easy to use.""Jenkins allows us to automate deployment, so I no longer have to do it manually. That's the primary use case. The other advantage of Jenkins is that it's open source. It was free for me to download and install. It's a product that's been in use for many years, so I can find a lot of support online for any issues that I may encounter while configuring anything for a given use case.""The initial setup is simple.""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 optimizes the CI/CD process, enhances automation, and ensures efficiency and management of our build and deployment pipeline."

Cons
"Stability could be improved. I don't know the reason for the instability because there are no logs that help me to understand the problem."

More Incredibuild Cons →

"Logging could be improved to offer a clearer view.""I think an integrated help button, that respected the context of the change/work in hand, would be a worthwhile improvement.""It would be helpful if they had a bit more interactive UI.""Jenkins could improve the integration with other platforms.""The bug fix speed is very slow.""I would like to have an integrated dashboard on top of it and a better UX to look at. The dashboard could be better in terms of integration with other tools. We should be able to have a single pane of glass across all the tools that we use where Jenkins is the pipeline. This can be a very good upgrade to it.""For this solution to be a 10, it has to be a lot more stable. Maybe the public version of Jenkins is stable, but in our case it's not stable.""Sometimes, random errors of metadata are not there, which causes delays. These are essentially gaps in the information being passed to the job."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "Its pricing and licensing are annoying. Every year, I need to renew. If I miss the deadline date, all my processes will stop working. So, I would prefer that I wouldn't need to renew every year, instead have another solution for it. Or, if we could have an enterprise license agreement with the company, then the development team wouldn't need to spend time renewing licenses."
  • More Incredibuild Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "It is a free product."
  • "Jenkins is open source."
  • "​It is free.​"
  • "Some of the add-ons are too expensive."
  • "It's free software with a big community behind it, which is very good."
  • "I used the free OSS version all the time. It was enough for all my needs."
  • "Jenkins is open source and free."
  • "There is no cost. It is open source."

    Moving to TeamCity from Jenkins At work, we’re slowly migrating from Jenkins to TeamCity in the hope of ending some of our recurring problems with continuous integration. My use of Jenkins prior to this job has been almost strictly on a personal basis, although I pretty much only use Travis nowadays. The biggest difference upon initial inspection is that TeamCity is far more focused on validating individual commits rather than certain types of tests. Jenkins’ front page presents information that is simply not useful in a non-linear development environment, where people are often working in vastly different directions. How many of the previous tests passed/failed is not really salient information in this kind of situation. Running specific tests for individual commits on TeamCity is far more trivial in terms of interface complexity than Jenkins. TeamCity just involves clicking the ”…” button in the corner on any test type (although I wish it wasn’t so easy to click “Run” by accident). I generally find TeamCity a lot more intuitive than Jenkins out of the box. There’s a point at which you feel that if you have to scour the documentation to do anything remotely complex in an application, you’re dealing with a bad interface. One disappointing thing in both is that inter-branch merges improperly trigger e-mails to unrelated committers. I suppose it is fairly difficult to determine who to notify about failure in situations like these, though. It seems like TeamCity pulls up the… Read more →
