Flexible CI and CD tool

Reviewed 3 years ago

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.

Pros

Allows creating simple as well as very customized Jenkins pipelines. Allows scripting using Groovy and shell scripts. Has tons of useful plugins , easily integrates with many other software systems. It hits the sweet spot between high customizability and developer friendliness if you stick to standard workflows. Complex customization of build pipelines is also possible.

Cons

The ability to build very customized build pipelines is sometimes also a disadvantage. It's too easy to create a complicated pipeline with Groovy code which could be difficult to maintain. Also the Jenkins UI can be confusing for a novice user.

Versatile program with important features

Reviewed 7 months ago

An experience of average satisfaction, we did not like that we had to spend extra budget to hire a new software that would bring together the capabilities that Jenkins could not contain enough for our team to feel comfortable, but on the other hand we do accept that it has improvement systems that They improved our developed software.

Pros

A program that in the team generated high expectations for generating build automation, where Jenkins can be configured to automatically execute software builds every time changes are made to the source code, this ensures that any new code integration is tested and verified instantly, making it easy to detect and fix early errors or compatibility issues.

Cons

Under support for Microservices, which in our case and given that our company Google operates at large scale, often with architectures based on microservices, Jenkins could not handle multiple projects and microservices simultaneously, not allowing independent and specific builds and deployments as required. We needed, in this sense, we had to use a program similar and added to the one we already had.
