"The most notable aspect is its user interface, which we find to be user-friendly and straightforward for deploying and comprehending pipelines. We have the ability to create multiple pipelines, and in addition to that, the resource consumption is impressive."
"The most valuable features of Jenkins are the integration with GitHub, and the automation for deployment."
"The initial setup is simple."
"Jenkins is stable, user-friendly, and helps with continuous integration. As of today, I can't see any tool that's better than Jenkins."
"For business needs, Jenkins is the most relevant choice because it can be self-hosted, the price is good, it’s robust, and requires almost no effort for maintenance."
"Jenkins is a very mature product."
"The solution is scalable and has a large number of plugins that can help you scale it to your needs."
"The most valuable features of Jenkins are the integration of automatic scripts for testing and the user's ability to use any script."
"The most valuable feature is its ability to connect with different tools and technologies."
"The aspect that requires attention is the user management component. When integrating with BitLabs and authenticating through GitLab, there are specific features we desire. One important feature is the ability to import users directly from GitLab, along with their respective designations, and assign appropriate privileges based on that information. Allocating different privileges to users is a time-consuming process for us."
"The documentation really should be improved by including real examples and more setup cases."
"The tool must be more user-friendly."
"The user interface could be updated a little."
"Performance-wise. This needs to be improved. Not only performance-wise, some functionality or some features can be added to Jenkins."
"This solution would be improved with the inclusion of an Artifactory (Universal artifact repository manager)."
"Centralized user management would be helpful."
"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."
"Its schedule builds need improvement. It should have scheduling features in the platform rather than using external plug-ins."
"The scriptwriting process could be improved in this solution in the future."
"Jenkins could improve the integration with other platforms."
