Overall Satisfaction with Jenkins

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Jenkins as a main
CICD in our project, we organize jobs with similar function into Group, we
create jobs for the build, compile, and unit test each time a developer
check-in their code to a specified branch and build a new version of artifact
when having master branch commit.

We add some additional
plugin and create Jenkins jobs for run system test, automation test, and
integration test automatically when having new commit to master and have jobs
for deploy our new code to destination VMs on demand.

Pros and Cons

Pros

continuous deployment
continuous integration
continuous delivery also it's the best integration tools in the market

Cons

Jenkins UI looks bit classic, and it is hard for manage when we have a large number of jobs and pipeline
It does not have features for tracking job history, sometimes accident deletes or changes to a job and we unable to recover it.
User and roles management needs some improvement

Return on Investment

It made very good impact in business by fastening the process
It provides single place for building all the jobs
I don't see any negative impact from Jenkins

Usability

Jenkins is very simple to
installation and configuration as standalone or cluster, just a few clicks to
get Jenkins ready, it is flexible and easy to create Pipeline and Job from UI
or by YML file. Jenkins support many plugins allows it easy to integrate with
other tool and software such as AWS, Sonar, JMeter... and Jenkins support
almost major language and OS.
