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."Jenkins is very stable."
"The solution is scalable and concurrent users have access to the platform."
"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."
"Different types of jobs, such as Pipeline, Build, Freestyle, Maven, etc."
"GitHub linking is pretty good. We have a deployment application where we can run our tests and add various variables to be passed as assertions to those tests. This is pretty fluid with Jenkins."
"Jenkins has a lot of built-in packages and tools."
"The most valuable aspect of Jenkins is pipeline customization. Jenkins provides a declarative pipeline as well as a scripted pipeline. The scripted pipeline uses a programming language. You can customize it to your needs, so we use Jenkins because other solutions like Travis and Spinnaker don't allow much customization."
"Jenkins optimizes the CI/CD process, enhances automation, and ensures efficiency and management of our build and deployment pipeline."
"I really like Nx because it is easy to use and works right away."
"Its schedule builds need improvement. It should have scheduling features in the platform rather than using external plug-ins."
"The solution's UI can use a facelift and the logs can use more detailed information."
"The UI of Jenkins could improve."
"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."
"The product should provide more visualization as to how many pipelines are performing and how many builds are happening. It should also integrate with Kubernetes and OpenShift."
"The onboarding of Jenkins should be smoother, and it should have more pipelines available as it's deployed on many different servers."
"The scriptwriting process could be improved in this solution in the future."
"The solution could improve by having more advanced integrations."
"There are aspects of Nx that could be improved, particularly the desktop interface, which I find quite unappealing, mostly in black and white."
