"We really appreciate that this solution is plug and play. When coding in the version control system, this product completes the build process automatically."
"Jenkins optimizes the CI/CD process, enhances automation, and ensures efficiency and management of our build and deployment pipeline."
"The most valuable feature of Jenkins is its continuous deployment. We can deploy to multi-cluster and multi-regions in the cloud."
"The initial setup is simple."
"There's also room for improvement in debugging pipeline issues, which can sometimes become complex."
"Its schedule builds need improvement. It should have scheduling features in the platform rather than using external plug-ins."
