Find out what your peers are saying about GitLab, Jenkins, Amazon Web Services (AWS) and others in Build Automation."It's a highly customizable DevOps tool."
"The solution is scalable and has a large number of plugins that can help you scale it to your needs."
"Jenkins's open-based framework is very valuable."
"Distributed execution of build and test jobs."
"The simplicity of Jenkins and the evolving ecosystem of Jenkins are most valuable. Today, you do not have to write a pipeline from scratch. The library functionality of Jenkins helps you to bring all those in ready-made, and you also get the best practices for them. That is a great feature of Jenkins, and that is why it is being used significantly."
"With Jenkins, the pipeline will take your code from any versioning system like GitHub or Bitbucket. All the security scans can happen in one go and then all the tests also get run. You can just build one container in it and deploy it."
"We significantly reduced build times of large projects (more than 80k lines of Scala code) using build time on Jenkins as a time sample. It reduced the developer write-test-commit cycle time, and increased productivity."
"Jenkins optimizes the CI/CD process, enhances automation, and ensures efficiency and management of our build and deployment pipeline."
"We really appreciate that this solution is plug and play. When coding in the version control system, this product completes the build process automatically."
"There's also room for improvement in debugging pipeline issues, which can sometimes become complex."
"Jenkins takes a long time to create archive files."
"Better and easy-to-use integration with Docker would be an improvement."
"Jenkins could improve by adding the ability to edit test automation and make time planning better because it is difficult. It should be easier to do."
"It could be cheaper."
"Logging could be improved to offer a clearer view."
"The solution's UI can use a facelift and the logs can use more detailed information."
"The UI must be more user-friendly."
"The upgrades need improvement."
