Pros
"Technical support is quick to respond. I haven't had any issues with them."

More Inedo BuildMaster Pros →

"Jenkins is very user-friendly.""Jenkins is stable, user-friendly, and helps with continuous integration. As of today, I can't see any tool that's better than Jenkins.""It's very easy to learn.""Very easy to understand for newcomers.""The most valuable features of Jenkins are creating builds, and connecting them with Sonar for Sonar analysis. Additionally, we connect it with other vulnerability tools, such as WhiteSource which is useful.""We have started to integrate Pipelines as a part of a build, and built a library of common functions. It simplified and made our build scripts more readable.""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.""This solution has helped us in automating the build and test process, reducing time."

Cons
"The documentation should be better. It should be very easy to call REST APIs, and the documentation has to be perfect for that."

More Inedo BuildMaster Cons →

"We cannot change the ownership of any directory or file or any kind of directory.""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.""The solution could improve by having more advanced integrations.""Sometimes, random errors of metadata are not there, which causes delays. These are essentially gaps in the information being passed to the job.""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.""Jenkins is an old product, and we encounter performance issues and slow response. Also, some of the plugins are not stable.""Sometimes you have Jenkins restarting because of OOM errors.""It could be cheaper."

    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 →
