Overall Satisfaction with Jenkins

Jenkins runs our continuous delivery and deployment pipelines for multiple on-premise environments. Through the use of its plugins, we're able to extend its capabilities.
  • Stability
  • Extensible by plugins.
  • Dated UI.
  • Jenkins DSL for writing pipelines instead of YAML.
  • Multiple worker nodes.
  • Pro: Allows for automating the basic compiling and automated testing part of SDLC.
  • Con: Not easy to debug the pipeline definitions.
It's mostly stable and well-known within the DevOps community.

Do you think Jenkins delivers good value for the price?

Yes

Are you happy with Jenkins's feature set?

Yes

Did Jenkins live up to sales and marketing promises?

I wasn't involved with the selection/purchase process

Did implementation of Jenkins go as expected?

I wasn't involved with the implementation phase

Would you buy Jenkins again?

No

Jenkins is a great pick if the team already has experience with it, mostly because it will get the job done. There are new CI/CD tools these days for achieving the same use cases which are more integrated into e.g. SCM.
