We performed a comparison between Jenkins and Microsoft Azure 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."Jenkins integrates with multiple tools like Bitbucket and makes life easier. We don't have to write a lot of code since a lot of libraries are available."
"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."
"I like that you can find a wide range of plugins for Jenkins."
"The most valuable features of Jenkins are the integration with GitHub, and the automation for deployment."
"We are using the open-source version and there is a lot of plugins and features that are available and it works on agents for free. In other solutions, it will cost extra to use them with the agent."
"When we have manual tasks, we have to depend on multiple technical teams. With Jenkins, we can bring all the technologies together by the click of a button. We can see results without having to depend on different teams. Jenkins makes life easy for the database and DevOps teams."
"We used it for all continuous integration parts, like automation testing, deployment, etc."
"Has enabled full automation of the company."
"The focus on security is excellent. We really appreciate that about the solution."
"To me, the most valuable Azure features are AKS, Cloud SQL, security, and account management."
"In general, the entire suite of PaaS is valuable. It enables a true breakdown of IT siloes and allows an organization to embrace DevOps."
"Reliable with ease of provisional services."
"The tool's most valuable features are SQL servers and Managed Instance databases."
"Being cloud-based saves the provisioning aspect of an on-premises solution."
"It is a reliable solution that is easy to set up."
"There are many useful features. We use web apps, so instead of starting a web server, we just have machines running some web services. This was helpful for us in terms of the scalability of the application. We also use Active Directory for authentication and some services for the data backup. It is a very good and reliable solution. It was easy to implement this solution. It fits very well into our plans and covers our needs to provide infrastructure in the cloud. The portal to configure new resources is very easy, and it is very easy to allocate new resources."
"It does not have a very user-friendly interface."
"The disadvantage of Jenkins is writing Groovy scripts. There are other CI tools where you do not need to write this many scripts to manage and deploy."
"Jenkins relies on the old version of interface for configuration management. This needs improvement."
"Performance-wise. This needs to be improved. Not only performance-wise, some functionality or some features can be added to Jenkins."
"Jenkins could simplify the user interface a little bit because it sometimes creates too many features cramped in the UI."
"I think an integrated help button, that respected the context of the change/work in hand, would be a worthwhile improvement."
"The solution's UI can use a facelift and the logs can use more detailed information."
"Partition security for the workflow of projects is not yet an option."
"An issue I encountered was around the integration of Identity. I lost some important information and I would like to see improvements with this."
"I'd like to see better integration with S/4HANA integrated and other services, like monitoring, for example."
"The management portal can be confusing sometimes. We have difficulty navigating the menus because the terminology is unclear, especially when referring to the content or actionable items."
"I would like to see it more easily accessible."
"There could be more documentation and video tutorials to incorporate each and every feature. This way one can easily get the knowledge and implement it."
"The solution needs a more integrated password feature."
"Because it has a lot of features, a person just coming into Microsoft Azure might feel that it is a bit complex."
"The solution needs to offer more data analysis services."
