Overall Satisfaction with Jenkins

Jenkins is being used by the whole organization.

Jenkins is being used as the orchestration layer for our Continuous Delivery Pipelines. The DSL is used to set up Pipeline-As-Code.
  • Jenkins offers flexibility to implement any customer use case.
  • Jenkins has a plugin ecosystem that's helpful to avoid writing too much custom code.
  • Jenkins is free.
  • Jenkins has a buzzing community and great docs.
  • Jenkins lends itself to containerization.
  • Jenkins Pipeline-As-Code should be declarative instead of requiring users to write groovy code/script.
  • Jenkins should offer a better dashboard with KPIs that customers care about.
  • Jenkins should improve their UI and graphical visualization of Pipelines.
  • Jenkins offers automated orchestration for workflows that would have to be manually executed otherwise. Personnel cost is always going to be higher than tools, and hence this is a huge cost benefit.
  • Jenkins is free, so does not add to the infrastructure cost, unless you purchase the CloudBees distribution.
  • Jenkins is well-known in the industry and hence training cost is bare minimum.
Jenkins addresses most use cases.
