Find out what your peers are saying about GitLab, Jenkins, Amazon Web Services (AWS) and others in Build Automation."It's a highly customizable DevOps tool."
"I love Jenkins. I like that you work on anything, and you make anything. Jenkins is very important for my team. I am satisfied with the product."
"The most valuable features of Jenkins are the integration of automatic scripts for testing and the user's ability to use any script."
"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 is very user-friendly."
"The initial setup is pretty simple."
"We used it for all continuous integration parts, like automation testing, deployment, etc."
"Jenkins has been instrumental in automating our build and deployment processes."
"The most valuable feature of Jenkins is its continuous deployment. We can deploy to multi-cluster and multi-regions in the cloud."
"There's also room for improvement in debugging pipeline issues, which can sometimes become complex."
"I would like to have an integrated dashboard on top of it and a better UX to look at. The dashboard could be better in terms of integration with other tools. We should be able to have a single pane of glass across all the tools that we use where Jenkins is the pipeline. This can be a very good upgrade to it."
"The documentation could be more friendly, and more examples of how to use 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."
"The enterprise version is less stable than the open-source version."
"Its schedule builds need improvement. It should have scheduling features in the platform rather than using external plug-ins."
"And I don't care too much for the Jenkins user interface. It's not that user-friendly compared to other solutions available right now. It's not a great user experience. You can do just fine if you are a techie, but it would take a novice some time to learn it and get things done."
"I think an integrated help button, that respected the context of the change/work in hand, would be a worthwhile improvement."
"Jenkins could simplify the user interface a little bit because it sometimes creates too many features cramped in the UI."
