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 has been instrumental in automating our build and deployment processes."
"It's very useful when you want to automate different processes from beginning to end."
"The most valuable features of Jenkins are creating builds, and connecting them with Sonar for Sonar analysis. Additionally, we connect it with other vulnerability tools, such as WhiteSource which is useful."
"I like the business logs. It's a very useful tool. Client-server communication is also very fast."
"I like that you can find a wide range of plugins for Jenkins."
"The most valuable features of Jenkins are the ease of use and the information about how to use the features is readily available on the internet. Additionally, with the solution, I can use other reporting tools, such as Flow."
"Automation of chores like deployment, frequent manual tasks (like running scripts on test and production systems) reduced the time used and the number of errors made by engineers, freeing them to do meaningful work instead."
"The solution is scalable and has a large number of plugins that can help you scale it to your needs."
"The automated connectors to some of our critical enterprise systems are an important feature. These are very large, critical, global HCM systems."
"The main benefit of Microsoft Azure is that it is cloud-based. We are using Microsoft Visual Studio for our code and it is tightly integrated with Microsoft Azure. Additionally, the solution is user-friendly."
"The tool’s stability is good."
"It's easy to use, and it's scalable. If we want to grow our product more, we can do it."
"In Azure, everything is pretty straightforward. Once you know it, the platform is very easy to use."
"We like that you sign in only once and that grants access to all of the Microsft applications, as well as others such as ServiceNow and SAP Concur."
"It is a very easy-to-use platform, and it is very powerful in terms of data backup and Blob storage. It has very good features, especially if you are using Microsoft products, such as Windows, Microsoft SQL Server."
"The pricing is quite good, and it is designed as pay-per-use."
"Jenkins can be improved, but it's difficult for me to explain. The initial setup could be more straightforward. If you connect Jenkins with bookings and lockouts, it can be challenging."
"It does not have a very user-friendly interface."
"Jenkins could improve by allowing more scripting languages. We need to use Groovy scripting and it is difficult to debug and it is not ideal for creating file scripts. We tried to search for assistance but we did not find much help."
"We cannot change the ownership of any directory or file or any kind of directory."
"Centralized user management would be helpful."
"The user interface could be updated a little."
"Jenkins could improve by adding the ability to edit test automation and make time planning better because it is difficult. It should be easier to do."
"Sometimes, random errors of metadata are not there, which causes delays. These are essentially gaps in the information being passed to the job."
"The pricing in our region can be a bit high."
"The solution could improve by providing better tutorials and documentation."
"When we are doing transfers of records in large amounts, for example, petabytes of data or few long datasets, the performance should not degrade as it does."
"Potential improvements to the price calculator tool"
"The solution's email hosting pricing could be improved."
"Technical support could be improved."
"The integration pipeline could be a bit more broad in terms of applications."
"It would be nice if there was an on-premises version of the solution, and it wasn't just cloud-based."
