We performed a comparison between Jenkins and Nx 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."The most valuable features of Jenkins are the integration with GitHub, and the automation for deployment."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is its integration between different tools."
"Jenkins has built good plugins and has a good security platform."
"It's very useful when you want to automate different processes from beginning to end."
"Jenkins can be used for elastic management, if you have any sensitive data or credentials you can use them across the environment. Additionally, the solution is easy to use and can be used across multiple use cases."
"Jenkins is very stable."
"The automated elements are easy to use and you can put them into your server."
"We really appreciate that this solution is plug and play. When coding in the version control system, this product completes the build process automatically."
"I really like Nx because it is easy to use and works right away."
"I sometimes face a bottleneck when installing the plugins on an offline machine. Mapping the dependencies and then installing the correct sequence of dependencies is a nightmare, and it took me two days to do it."
"Upgrading and maintaining plugins can be painful, as sometimes upgrading a plugin can break functionality of another plugin that a job is dependent on."
"Jenkins could have better cloud functionality. Currently, we are using the existing legacy model, but we are moving toward the cloud, so it would be great if they could improve in that area. In the future, I would like more cloud features and related training materials, like a video tutorial."
"The solution's UI can use a facelift and the logs can use more detailed information."
"This solution could be improved by removing the storage of unnecessary data such as the history of test deployments that were unsuccessful."
"Centralized user management would be helpful."
"It would be better if there were an option to remove its Java dependency. This would make it more compatible with other software, and it could be much better. At present, we have to depend on Java whenever we want to deploy agents."
"Improvement-wise, I would want the solution's user interface to be changed for the better. In short, the solution can be made more user-friendly."
"There are aspects of Nx that could be improved, particularly the desktop interface, which I find quite unappealing, mostly in black and white."
