Overall Satisfaction with Jenkins

Jenkins is a continuous integration tool on which my team relies heavily. My whole company uses Jenkins. It starts our build process, and goes all the way to start the code pipeline, from then our release goes from qa env, to e2e, and to production. Each job on Jenkins starts automatically when we push a new code to master.
  • Continuous integration
  • Zero downtime and automatic/scheduled jobs
  • No manual effort
  • Jobs can be turned enabled and disabled at any time with any configuration settings
  • For my team in particular, we have some common accounts that we use, which makes it difficult to understand who initiated the job
  • Could use a UI upgrade
  • Don't have mobile flow
  • No manual work
  • Zero downtime
  • Fast and efficient
It is a great tool for companies who are trying to minimize manual effort and are looking for more automatic release processes. It works great to start our regression tests, code coverage builds, or any ind of automatic ob under the roof. It is easily configurable and jobs can be easily copied and linked to GitHub repo.
