Jenkins is an open source continuous integration tool.https://media.trustradius.com/product-logos/a9/F3/EHQMKIKITL3V.JPEGOpen SourceJenkins: The CTCI tool we've all been waiting for2019-03-14T16:54:26.632ZWe use Jenkins to automate our CD/CI jobs across a variety of applications. It is used by our QA teams to set up automatic testing for software deployments, and by our deployment team to deploy those applications in an automated fashion. This tool is crucial to any DevOps setup and will allow your teams to deploy as often as they would like with minimal effort or employee intervention.,Automatic jobs: there are infinite possibilities when it comes to Jenkins. You can run code against any testing suite you can imagine or conjure up. You can deploy applications at any time anywhere, automatically with no human intervention. If a certain stage fails, it will notify the team and your sysadmin of the issue so you can resolve it as quickly as possible
Automatic rollback: because of how Jenkins works, it can hold off publishing code and integrate locally to run QA procedures before pushing to deployment. This means that bugs are caught before your servers are updated and prevents a faulty program from affecting your downtime in the first place. Its a game changer for high availability.,Very un-intuitive UI can be very confusing for first-time users. It will take a decent amount of time to get any new users comfortable with using the tool
It is open-source, but because of this, there is not a lot of support out there for Jenkins-related issues. Because of the possibilities of Jenkins with plugins and customization, there is a decent chance any errors you encounter will be the first of their kind and will have to be solved by you and you alone.,9,Has cut our deployment time drastically by incorporating automatic integration and QA testing into our workflow.
Has the ability to deploy our staged code automatically once green-lit by the QA team and the software devs.,TeamCity and Travis CI,Ansible, Amazon Relational Database Service, Atom,9Dylan CauwelsSimple but powerful opensource CICD tool2019-03-21T17:37:52.360ZWe use Jenkins as CICD server for our java application, We use both freestyle and pipeline project to have full lifecycle build from compile, unit test, code scan, build, deploy and run automation, performance test.
We use the freestyle and pipeline and they give us flexibility on what action we expect, we just compile and run unit test on every code checking, build a new snapshot artifact and deploy to test server then perform smoke automation test when merge to master, and run full automation test.,Installing Jenkins is easy, just download the software and few clicks or use command line, chef cookbook, Ansible task... which it already supports. Configuring Jenkins is simple for adding users, variables, plugins
Integrates well with other DevOps tool such as Maven, Gitlab, SonarQube, Selenium...
Easy for debugging and customized jobs
The documentation is clear and rich
Has many plugins
Great support from community,The dashboard is hard to manage when we have many jobs
Add some default plugins in Jenkins original package,9,Do not have the backup or baseline for jobs scripts, accident delete jobs could not recover
Pipeline only support Groovy
Poor support for Docker,CircleCI,Apache Maven, SonarQube, Selenium,9Hung VuAn amazing tool, but far from being perfect (unfortunately)2019-02-27T05:29:22.079ZWe're using Jenkins to perform part of our deployment pipeline. For our Development team, all the code tests are performed through Jenkins and on the DevOps side, all configuration management is performed by Jenkins integrated to Git, Puppet and Terraform. Also, their role on our day by day activities is quite important since we also use test routines on our configuration management pipeline and these tests are executed by Jenkins.,Manages the entire deployment pipeline, since the Git commit, going through several test types and the deployment.
Integrates with a bunch of other technologies.
Jenkins is amazingly flexible. The boundaries are your imagination. Just be ready to invest some time learning its several features.,Native integration with cloud providers. We still needing third-party plugins, that in some cases are not very efficient.
Needs better documentation.
A better front end. There is a lot of space for improvements in this specific aspect.,9,We deliver software in a more reliable way.
We perform tests which many times are requirements on the security processes.
Performing all those tasks in an automated way, we are saving engineers time.,Puppet Enterprise (formerly Puppet Data Center Automation), HashiCorp Vault, Terraform, Zabbix, Docker, Kubernetes,7Erlon Sousa PinheiroJenkins: The defacto standard build tool2019-02-07T17:11:31.620ZJenkins is our standardized build tool for all our software teams. It has allowed us to move to a standardized continuous integration development cycle rather than the ad-hoc build and deploy structure that was used in the past. Having the ability to manage all our builds from a single web platform has been great for the management of our build process. We now have the ability to easily pull build logs and to determine where individual builds we're deployed. Jenkins has been highly beneficial for our company.,Manage continuous integration. It can be set up.
Allows a single point of access for all our companies build information.
It is also highly configurable and allows our individual teams to customize the builds as necessary.,We have had some trouble with using Ansible with Jenkins to allow a 'pipeline' build. This points to a potential area Jenkins could improve by allowing a clean way to define build pipelines. It has the ability to define promotions to specific environments but the UI for that feature is not intuitive.
There were a few examples where saving build configuration changes would not actually save the changes.
Jenkins is a great tool, but the UI for the list of projects becomes hard to navigate when you have a large number of projects. It could use an updated design.,10,Jenkins has reduced our time to market since we can integrate various deployments and test suites directly into the build
Jenkins has reduced the training time required for our new engineers. Since this is the defacto build tool, most of our new hires already understand how to use it.
Jenkins is also a free tool which provides these benefits without costing the company, although there are companies that provide support.,Microsoft Azure,FF4J (Feature Flipping for Java), Togglz, Ansible,10Mark CarpenterLet your workforce interact by keeping them on same page!2019-03-28T17:08:59.805ZWe use this technology throughout the company. Most of the time we integrate this with Git. Just by installing a Git plugin to the dashboard we are ready to rock and automate. We do the following process (this step by step guide will brief you more on our work): 1. Install and Integrate Git plugin with the dashboard of Jenkins (localhost:8080), 2. provide the URL/repository URL, 3. git pulls request so as to sync save all data to Jenkin workspace, 4. go to SCM, and select Git in freestyle project, 5. execute the operations and some batch commands, and 6. you are done! Now you are ready to automate your tests (Plugin wise) and debugging. We mostly use mailer application which triggers a mail to all the recipients when our production code builds successfully.,Real-time deployment and synchronization.
Automated Test cases and debugging.
We really like the tool/plugin called Mailer.
Best for DevOps. Reduced builds and processing time.,Once we organized a hackathon with our GitHub Storage. Jenkins was integrated at that time. We had a 20GB plan, but it oversized to 50GB. We had to bear a large sum of money which was unpredicted by our company. Being a startup we cannot bear such mistakes.
Jenkins cannot be easily studied and managed. We have to recruit personnel part-time for managing and servicing the server.
Though it is open source, there is no dedicated community driven forum or support. There are 3rd party discussion and support portals. Thus, we use Gitter always for debugging and solutions.,8,We mostly rely on freelancers all over the world which understand our problem statement and start to work on immediately because of Jenkins. This keeps the production safe and lets the work to carry on in another environment.
Integration to GitHub helped a lot to sync our older releases of the projects. Better updates were given to the customers. The "GitHub issues" plugin is a savior for updates and patches.
Most of our Ubuntu servers were ready to cope up with the technology rather than the windows systems. Thus we migrated to Ubuntu systems all over the workforce. Easy installation on Ubuntu helped in delivering the release at the right time.,Bitbucket, Codacy,9Verified UserJenkins is quick to learn and quick to implement2019-05-05T02:04:29.312ZMultiple departments use Jenkins for deploying code to our dev/test/stage environments, and our ops team uses it primarily to deploy code to production endpoints.,Code package deployment. It wraps up and pushed out the code quickly and easily.
Good UI - verbose output is available, and there's an easy walk-through deploy process.
Multiple scripting language support - Jenkins can integrate PowerShell, Python, etc.,Documentation in the application itself is a bit thin.
Outside automation and integration aren't easily understandable. It would be nice to work in Ansible with Jenkins.,8,It's Open-source, so there's little to no cost overhead for deploying and updating Jenkins.
It's well known in the industry, so many employees are already familiar with it.
Multi-platform support means we don't have to rely upon Windows OS (and associated licensing) to use Jenkins.,Chef and Puppet Pipelines (formerly Distelli),GitHub,9Verified UserJenkins - Best Open-Source Continuous Integration Software on the market2018-11-28T20:01:43.338ZThe engineering team at several of my previous companies used Jenkins as a Continuous Integration and Automation tool. We used it for managing deployments of our applications across various environments, as well as a way to manually run various operations, such as running Tests or Invoking scripts. Jenkins has some good user permissions, that allow us to delegate specific responsibilities to various individuals without worry of someone doing something they shouldn't be allowed to. The setup is quite simple, and the software is very intuitive to use.,Continuous Integration - A commit into a Git code repository can kick off a Jenkins job, which in turn runs a Test suite and an application deployment
History - View of everything that's been run and by whom
Flexible - Tons of plugins that allows Jenkins to integrate with other software/tools used in your companies tech stack,Sometimes, plugins are needed for even basic tasks. It would be nice if the base functionality included more, so you don't need to search and install a bunch of plugins.
The UI can be a little clunky. Although there is a Blue Ocean project that rethinks the UI of Jenkins and is much nicer.
While the user management works, it is a little naive. You cannot do things in bulk or things that are TOO complex.,10,Time - No longer need to manually run deploys, test scripts, etc. since Jenkins will do it automatically for you.
Resources (People) - Automating tasks requires less things needing to be done, thus not requiring as many developers
Code Quality - Because of continuous integration and automation capabilities, we can put quality checks into the workflow and run tests to make sure things are working and don't break (without needing to do any extra work),CircleCI and Ansible,CircleCI, Datadog, MySQL, LastPass, Okta, Concur Expense, Concur Travel and Expense, GitHub, BitbucketGabriel SamarooJenkins as my Continuous Integration tool of choice2018-09-07T16:34:32.874ZThis tool made the development flow fluid. Standout features are the continuous integration and a variety of support offered for creating packages for a number of technologies like, Java, C#, C++, etc and across multiple platforms that makes releases easier for faster roll out of business functionalities . It also has hundreds of plugins that can help you setup continuous integration and continuous delivery tool chain in quick time. You can easily scale out Jenkins across multiple machines, and support simultaneous large number of builds, tests and deployments across multiple platforms.,There are plenty of plugins available which helps us automate most of the jobs.
You can do anything with Jenkins as there are a huge number of community plugins. There is a learning curve of course but after you've mastered it's quick sailing.
The ability to schedule jobs on the go for your software build is very useful.,I particularly don't like the user interface. There's a lot of scope for improvement. I would actually say a complete revamp is required.
It is quite time consuming and not intuitive to create a job.
The new build pipelines feature is good but needs to be refined and issues needs to be ironed out.,7,Has streamlined the build, release and deployment schedules with the automation it provides
Very easy to run automated tests and promote code to higher environments.
Scripting support helps to customize as per the organization's needs.,TeamCity and Bamboo,Puppet Enterprise (formerly Puppet Data Center Automation), Docker, Mule ESBRamendra SahuJenkins - when you want a dedicated, non SaaS CI/CD2018-06-27T02:09:50.489ZJenkins is as our R&D build and deploy pipeline.
It allows us to:
1) Run end to end and unit tests every time we push new code.
2) Compile and bundle our code.
3) Deploy images and containers it to our Azure servers (Kubernetes).
4) Give us a nice dashboard to view that status of the tests, builds, and deployment.,It is heavily used in the industry and it's open source. This is a huge benefit as there is a lot of learning material and more importantly there are many friends that can help you set things up correctly.
The new UI/UX design is very user friendly and gives you good viability into your deployment pipeline status.
Lots of helpful plugins that are well supported.
Setup on Azure was quite straight forward.,It does require setup unlike other SaaS products like CircleCI which just require an account.
Lots of plugins is also a disadvantage as you need to install quite a few and installation errors are not always easy to decipher.
The UI could use better search options, especially through the logs.,8,Having a CI/CD pipeline, in general, helps you push new features faster and more reliably.
In the short term - a large setup cost.
Long-term - no cost for SaaS products.,CircleCI,CircleCI, GitHub, Trello, NanoboxSagiv FrankelJenkins provides solid support for Continuous Integration and Continuous Delivery2018-04-09T19:23:57.108ZJenkins is currently used to build and deploy our Amazon infrastructure. We practice the principles of infrastructure as code, meaning our infrastructure config and setup is checked into a revision control system and built via Chef and other scripts. Jenkins manages building that automatically or on demand and ensures that everything that is checked in is working properly.,Configurability - Jenkins supports all sorts of options for different build types (Microsoft, Unix, etc.).
Performance - The Jenkins user interface responds pretty well and can handle a number of projects.
Plugins - Generally if you have a third party system to integrate with, Jenkins generally has a plugin for it.,User Interface - The UI feels a bit dated and can be hard to use at times.
Error messaging could be friendlier - sometimes it can be hard to decipher what went wrong.
Configuration of roles could be easier. It would be nice if it was easier to give access to certain users for certain build options/projects/etc.,8,Streamlined building our server infrastructure, which gave us more time for other development efforts.
Helped improve code quality - we were able to verify that the code was compiling properly with each check-in.
Made deployments more bullet proof - with a standard flow for deploying our code/infrastructure, it made less room for human error.,TeamCity,TeamCity, GitHub, New Relic APM, SlackKevin Van HeusenJenkins CI/CD2018-04-02T20:11:34.611ZWe primarily use Jenkins as part of our build infrastructure for compile and build, typically executing mavens builds but also ant scripts for more complex tasks and workflows,Is an excellent automation container
Is excellent at integration with many other tools and services
Is superbly well supported in the dev community with over 1k plugins
Is very easy to recruit for, having high market penetration and lots of candidates with experience
Has a number of security models to suit any enterprise or small user
Is very scalable both horizontally and vertically,History retention is an area that should improve
Trend analysis should be better supported in the core product
Dashboards need to be better provisioned in the core product,10,Deployment automation is the biggest gain. You can plug anything into anything using Jenkins as the UI
Simplifying complex tasks via UI
Capturing complexity and removing/reducing key man dependencies,Bamboo,Selenium, XL Deploy, XL ReleaseNeale FouldsUnparalleled Flexibility2018-01-19T16:51:16.203ZJenkins is an extremely powerful continuous integration/continuous delivery tool. It can be used to automate a very diverse set of operations - including, but also well beyond, application deployments. This is thanks to amazing flexibility and the impressive number of available plugins.
In the traditional sense, Jenkins easily addresses the following problems:
Build and release automationTest automation with result report generationTest coverage reportsVersion control pollingStatus notificationsConditional, concurrent and branched pipelinesMaster-slave architectureCredentials storage
Really, any custom scheduled or event-driven (primarily via version control events) workloads - of course don't go crazy with that, you don't want to schedule data science jobs on Jenkins for example. Key word is "operations".
Thanks to its large community and amount of available plugins, you can easily:Integrate with Slack to push notifications, also true for many other chat servicesIntegrate with GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket via hooks (as opposed to polling)Create and restore backupsIntegrate with external authentication providers (e.g. OAuth)Define your pipelines as code,Large and diverse selection of plugins
Build and release automation
Operations automation,Does not encourage modular and repeatable design patterns: while Pipeline plugin (pipeline as code) partially solves the problem but it's not quite there yet. You cannot encapsulate your entire pipelines in self-contained, reusable and deployable code.
Jenkins hasn't caught up in treating containers as first-class citizen. Workloads run directly atop the Jenkins node. This means potential security issues and lacking the ability to constraint resources allocated to workloads.
It's very plugins-driven. Although the quantity and diversity of available plugins is amazing; but the plugins architecture makes it easy to bloat your Jenkins node with plugins and destabilize it over time. Plugins are installed globally (with ability to enable/disable at job-level).,8,Jenkins is a great investment if used for heavily customized workloads.
For traditional CI/CD problem, the ROI will decrease as Jenkins in its current design does not encourage modular and reusable patterns,Concourse, Drone.io and CircleCI,KubernetesAiman NajjarAutomate anything and everything with Spinnaker2018-07-06T16:56:47.821ZJenkins is the tool we use for building our code, running our test cases and also for few of the inhouse datacenter deployments.
Apart from the regular CICD, we also use it for many of our other automation tasks, for example automating regular operational tasks like disk cleanup, log rotation etc.,Jenkins has plugins for achieving anything and everything.
Jenkins is very flexible and has gone beyond just the CI capabilities.
Very active development and frequent releases with new features and bug fixes.
Very good authentication/authorization features with fine-grained access control.,Sometimes installing the wrong plugins ends up with Jenkins in a non-startable state.
When there is a huge number of builds, loading the Jenkins UI takes minutes. Sometimes times out as well.
Lacking user level minute audit logging. It's difficult to find out which users installed/upgraded plugins.
There were cases where jobs were in a hung state and could not be aborted as well. Jenkins restart was the only solution.,10,Its a great ROI. Jenkins helps in automating most of the stuff.
The way Jenkins handles the scale is quite impressive. Have one master and multiple slaves of different OS types help achieve any kind of automations.
We are able to achieve CICD for many applications with just one master slave Jenkins setup.
The Jenkins team is very much updated with current trend technology of cloud (AWS, GC etc. ) and also supports container technologies (Docker and orchestrating it using Kubernetes ); because of this, there is no need to think of another tool for any new technologies. And enterprises can use Jenkins for long-term stability with full trust.,TeamCity and CircleCI,GitHub, Chef, Spinnaker, Docker, KubernetesVerified UserJenkins turns time-consuming tasks into automated successes2018-01-24T00:15:50.001ZJenkins is used across our entire organization. For our dev shop, it mains our build cycle by completing builds of code and handling deployment of code. In addition, we even utilize it to roll out database schema changes. If this wasn't enough, we also utilize Jenkins to generate content based off of markup. Jenkins has allowed us to meet the needs of our dev department of continuous integration while allowing customers to put out content in a timely manner.,Jenkins will allow you to setup continuous integration quickly for your development lifecycle. In addition to setting up your code to compile and perform unit testing, Jenkins can handle deploying the code to the needed servers.
Jenkins will allow you to set up processes that you wouldn't even expect to need - in our case we used it to manage our database schema by utilizing the ability to run scripts to run liquibase updates.
Jenkins has so many plugins, you can even integrate your deployments to update the associated task when it is ready for QA. In our case, we utilized plugins to integrate with JIRA and to notify us in our team chat that a build was ready for testing.,When setting up plugins, it can be tricky when you run into errors as sometimes the errors are not explanatory.
Jenkins requires plugins for most tasks, it would be nice to see things that are needed for most installations to be out of the box. This would tie them into the product more nicely and hopefully make those plugins easier to use.
Lucky for us, we run a fairly monolithic codebase which makes unit testing easier to set up. However, research shows that setting up this type of testing for micro-services with Jenkins is problematic as you cannot test multiple services at once.,9,Jenkins allowed us to roll out a critical piece of our product which is a home-grown content build system. When changes are checked-in, Jenkins monitors these changes and allows content to be ready to push out when ready to go. This has allowed the CMS system to be sold to customers which offered a positive effect on ROI.
The only negative impact is that some processes can be quite technical to set up - leaving this task to only be completed by either IT or the development team.,,Trello, FileMaker ProVerified UserQuick review of Jenkins2018-04-12T16:15:36.012ZMy organization has deployed Jenkins as the main continuous integration tool for their projects which is responsible for automating all the unit tests, integration tests, end-to-end tests and also the process of releasing the final products as configured.,Jenkins creates a comprehensive platform to automate the project builds.
Jenkins can be configured to build the projects as periodically (nightly builds) or in the event of subversion commitment.
Jenkins provides a user-friendly portal to do the configurations you need.,Jenkins can improve their product by integrating agile frameworks for the platform directly.
They can think further on Jenkins to improve the security as such issues were claimed in the recent past.
Jenkins UIs are sometimes slow responsively.,8,Jenkins provides a continuous overlook on a project's health which impacts the ROI positively.
Sometimes Jenkins claims build issues due to various reasons. So taking time to resolve them may it cause to block the release process and which also affects the ROI negatively.
Jenkins is open-source and it is freely available for anyone to use. Hence it impacts the ROI positively.,TeamCity,JIRA Software, Atlassian Confluence, Apache SubversionVerified UserAutomate your environment with Jenkins2018-03-16T21:55:39.700ZCurrently Jenkins is being used across the IT team in our organization. It simply does the hard job of automating all the repetitive tasks, includes details in projects, inside builds, follows workflows, accesses operating systems, and alerts when it's done, or, based on decisions during tasks, what to do. This reduced a lot of work for our dev teams, but also now is helping the infrastructure team and other departments. The knowledge of Jenkins utilization replicates really fast inside our organization as at least one people inside every team learned about or knows how to use it to build a simple job to automate a task, workflow or a deploy. Jenkins also allows us to monitor what's being done, helping managers and the team have an overview of how a pipeline is running. Another problem that Jenkins solved is centralizing automation. As it's controlled by a web console, it's easy to check what is being done, access logs of old jobs, view the entire console output and know exactly who and when a job was last executed. Also, you may set permissions by project, by job, or what you or your organization needs.,Continuous Delivery

It increases productivity by automating processes.,Automated scheduled jobs,I think the UI is not the greatest.,8,It has saved us time and money by not having to manual run jobs
It produces fewer bugs in our software by running automated tests,,Slack, JIRA Service Desk, JIRA Software, Atlassian Confluence, Google Drive, SeleniumVerified UserThe venerable open source build tool trusted by companies large and small2017-11-13T21:33:47.919ZI used Jenkins to manage both development and release builds of software at my two previous roles (IBM and Red Hat.) In both cases, each department had its own instances, so that plugins could be customized and managed on a per-team, per-product basis. It enables teams to manage a fleet of build servers (slaves in Jenkins parlance) that can build source code and run tests in an automated fashion, across platforms - this enables cross-platform software to be tested against various versions of Windows and Linux, for example. It can also be used for simple automation tasks, though other tools like Ansible are better suited for those tasks.,Minimal but extensible and flexible: Out of the box, Jenkins provides rudimentary capabilities to manage a host system with a framework for running build tasks and installing tools. There are many extension points available for plugins, and so a rich ecosystem of plugins is available. Many version control systems are supported, and integrations with other tools through plugins is excellent.
Cross-platform: Supports many platforms and architectures quite easily, thanks to its implementation in Java
Design focus: With Blue Ocean, you can get a nice-looking web interface for free
Rich ecosystem: As Jenkins has been around for quite some time, there is a rich ecosystem of blogs, tutorials, guides, and documentation available for performing most of the day-to-day tasks you would need. There are also various vendors like CloudBees that offer hosted services.
Ease of deployment: Jenkins can be deployed quite easily as a standalone JAR file. There are also system packages available for many Linux operating systems, such as Debian.,Difficult to manage build configurations: builds are generally configured through the user interface, which is easier to modify (especially for casual users rather than dedicated release engineers), but this results in changes that can be difficult to track, especially if multiple people have write access to the system. Some teams manage this by restricting people that can modify builds, but this creates a bottleneck. Ideally, the system would provide a good audit trail and change history, allowing changes to be tracked and reverted easily. Competing offerings get around this by version-controlling their configuration (e.g. Travis CI, Drone, AppVeyor) but this results in a slightly higher learning curve.
Quality of plugins varies widely: plugins are in various states of maintenance, and some are woefully incomplete and no longer updated. It can be difficult to know whether a plugin is well-written or not, or even actively maintained.
Builds are often not easily reproducible: By default, builds are run on the slave systems, which can retain state between runs that cause difficult-to-debug failures. It's possible to get around this by using VM snapshots and periodically reverting to clean systems, or by using the Docker plugin to run builds inside ephemeral containers.
Plugins are globally scoped: Because plugin versions and the Jenkins version are per-installation, companies with multiple teams typically run multiple instances of Jenkins. This leads to a maintenance nightmare and a lot of duplicated effort across teams keeping the systems patched, but is necessary because software requires different toolchains. It would be nice if Jenkins supported plugins on a "per tenant" basis, even though the running version would still be one-per-instance. Some platforms (such as OpenShift) get around this by running Jenkins inside a container, but that leaves out Windows slaves.,8,Low investment: As the software is open source, there is no purchase required for on-premises installations, and there is a low barrier to entry for companies offering hosted solutions. This leads to competition on price, and therefore lower prices.
Saves time by automating manual tasks: There are often a lot of repetitive tasks that need to be done to prepare for a release, and Jenkins enables these tasks to be run easily and frequently (for example, running tasks on every pull request)
Near-immediate returns: Spend a day or two and easily automate most common tasks. Reports are visible so that managers and team leads can keep an eye on code quality.,Docker, OpenShift and Travis CIJonathan YuJenkins is a flexible Open Source CI/CD tool.2017-12-11T21:23:00.204ZJenkins is one of the best open source Continuous Integration and Continuous Deployment tools.
