Overall Satisfaction with Jenkins

Jenkins is used by my team to automate the build pipeline we have for our codebase. We use it to run builds on our code base automatically on a daily basis to help maintain the functionality of the code. It also automatically runs test cases for each push of code to our repository. It allows users to test their code in the cloud instead of locally and helps mimic a production environment.
  • Jenkins is an open-source CI/CD tool with a massive community and lots of plugins and functionality.
  • We are able to use Jenkins with multiple source code repositories and with various other tools.
  • Jenkins has a very active user base and is very frequently updated to add features, security fixes, and other enhancements.
  • Open source Jenkins has little in terms of formal support so it can be problematic to troubleshoot some issues.
  • Jenkins plugins are created and supported by the community in most cases so you are at the mercy of the collaborators to maintain the code unless you want to join the effort yourself.
  • There are a few popular software suites that are not fully compatible with Jenkins in their current state.
  • Open-source
  • Free
  • Lots of plugins
  • Automation helps cut down man hours
  • Open-source Jenkins is free so there is no cost other than man hours
  • Jenkins is great
