Reliable CI/CD Tool with Powerful Automation Capabilities

One of the best CI/CD experience

Nobody ever got fired for choosing Nagios as an IT monitoring tool, and nobody ever got fired for choosing Jenkins as a CI tool. However, both products are, in my estimation, relics from an age when better options really weren't available.

Jenkins is free, widely used, and has a vibrant ecosystem. However, at this point, I feel certain that it's coasting on its past reputation. Before settling for Jenkins, I would carefully examine more modern products in this space such as GitLab CI.

The Nagios of CI tools: old, clunky, but still "works"

Automate Your CI/CD Pipeline

Overall very good 

Simplifying Deployment Pipelines with Jenkins

Jenkins is one of the most known CI/CD tools on the market. It is outstandingly flexible and can be easily adapted to companies' needs without unnecessary concessions. The enormous number of plugins that allows various actions makes the usage incredibly adaptable. To tell the truth, sometimes plugins are deprecated and old, but the most important ones are quickly updated to the latest versions. Free and reasonably priced paid versions are a huge advantage on the market - it is one of the reasons for Jenkins being widely used across companies. Great customer support and documentation makes usage convenient. What is more, Jenkins has a big community that is actively participating in the project. If any problem occurs, it is probably resolved on the internet - in some forum or in the documentation.
However, not everything is so great. The biggest flaw of Jenkins is its lack of intuitiveness. Because it contains a huge number of features, it may be too complex, especially for new users that do not have an experience in CI/CD. Also, the design is quite cumbersome and can look outdated.
All in all, Jenkins is an amazing tool for CI/CD and I strongly recommend it to everyone who needs a flexible utility for pipelines management and monitoring.

Incredibly flexible CI/CD

Jenkins is a powerful and flexible automation server that facilitates CI/CD processes. Its extensive plugin ecosystem, flexibility, community support, and cost-effectiveness make it a popular choice for organizations of all sizes. However, users should consider the steep learning curve, complex setup and maintenance, user interface, security considerations, and resource requirements when evaluating Jenkins for their software development and delivery needs.

Flexible and Scalable

We use Jenking along with BitBucket which is our main Git repository for version control. These tools are connected so that we use the master branch in BitBucket to switch and update versions between our different environments like DEV, Test and PROD.

A great tool for deployment control

Jenkins helps me to automate ton of manual tasks and saves lot of time and effort. Not just developers, it can be used as reporting tool for code analysis and functionality which will help the management.It is quite easy to setup and orchestrate pipeline.

Best CICD 

I like working with Jenkin day in and out. 

Simply the best

I've been quite happy with Jenkins so far, as it allows us to have full control over our CI/CD infrastructure.

Extremely powerful and configurable CI

Still the gold standard for CI/CD. Look elsewhere if you are running complex pipelines as there are tools better suited to it.

A solid choice for CI/CD at scale

Around 2007 my team selected it to automate the deployment process and some server maintenance processes. In that time I passed a few days around studing the real importance of the tool reading tecnical papers. We even integrated it with a chat tool so the deployment was performed through the company's chat bot triggered by anyone who had access to the user's contact monitored by jenkins. Over time I came to use it in other companies as developer operator only, most of the time the start of execution was not automatic but always integrated or with github.com or with Atlassian Bitbucket and Amazon CodeCommit. At the moment I use it as a developer and its integration is completely automated.

The best free and open source option on the market to task automation

This tool was not easy to integrate, however it has huge effect on our development quality. With the testing scripts and Jenkins we are able to isolate most of the bugs minutes after we push to git.

Jenkins review

I'm a jenkins user for past 5 years and I can recommend jenkins as the leading CI/CD tool exist in the market.

A tool which I use everyday

Saves our timeIncresed our productivityAutomated so many daily tasksDeployment happens automatically without manual interventions

Hero of all the CICD tools alive

The best open source CI/CD

Overall, without Jenkins CI/CD will be really difficult 

Best CICD tool ever. Does the job and saves much time

It is a very good CI CD tool. If you use standard plugins and use standard CI CD workflows, and avoid complex groovy code, then Jenkins hits the sweet spot between user friendliness and flexibility. 

Flexible CI and CD tool

Jenkins for Web Developers

I use Jenkins primarily to run builds for all of our repos and execute a large number of automated tests. It is incredibly useful to manage CI tasks and activity across many repos.

For all your CI/CD needs!

Is the better tool to the CI/CD Deployment, for DevOps is a Must.

Jenkins is Mandatory for DevOps Style

Overall, my experience with Jenkins has been great!  There isn't much negatives that I could say about this software except that it meets our needs as a software company and it allows us to ship stuff out to production quickly and without errors.

CI/CD at the finest

Basically I am Full Stack developer, But I am doing Testing, UI/UX, SEO and more because I am working in startup company. Jenkins is my first test tool and this last testing tool also because it's very easy to learn no need any experience to learn Jenkins. Second thing Jenkins didn't take more space in your laptop because it's run completely run in website just minimum setups only have in your system and more easy to integrate. My side opinion Jenkins don't have the drawbacks it's really very well of all testers.
