Overall Satisfaction with Jenkins

My 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.
  • 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.
As an open-source product, Jenkins can be recommended for any company who needs continuous integration/delivery for their projects. However, Jenkins offers the extended functionalities through their plug-ins which seems good in most cases but sometimes, this may lead to having unwanted functionalities and security issues in the platform in the case of using of multiple plug-ins for doing a specific task.
