MA Mahammad A. DevOps Engineer Enterprise (\> 1000 emp.) 5/21/2024 "cloudbees service now integration for release automation" 3/5 What do you like best about CloudBees? Cloudbees provides a way to manage all releases under one central location. The fact that it seemlessly integrates with Jenkins for triggering/pulling/updating CI build status back to the relwas pipeline is quite useful. Meaning I don't have to go back to my Jenkins CI web page to look for build status of each trigger. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about CloudBees? The over complexity of defining and using a plugin or a simple environment variable to be utilized inside a procedure seems more complex when compared to working with Jenkins or gitlab CI tools. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is CloudBees solving and how is that benefiting you? Cloudbees manages releases and it's timelines under one roof for each project. Each release can be associated with one single pipleljne per project. Jenkins CI builds status can be integrated as one step to capture build statuses in the same release pipeline run and also the entry and exit gates for approving the next procedure for deployments is quite useful as each gate can be configured with its own set of users to approve the deployments.

Management of the controllers through the Operations Center. This option is a magnificent way to scale up or down the CI infrastructure needed in a company. Even if OpenSource Jenkins is an excellent solution, I think the Operations Center and Cloudbees proprietary plugins bring the biggest value to Cloudbees CI. Furthermore, the new HA/HS features enable seamless upgrades and 100% uptime. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about CloudBees? Unsupported plugins can be too easily installed by controller admins (not system admins). These plugins can cause issues all over the platform. Also, some improvements can be made in differentiating Controller admins from Operations Center admins, as, sometimes, the customers (controller admins) try to modify their controller's specifications, possibly causing infrastructure issues, like worker node overload. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is CloudBees solving and how is that benefiting you? Cloudbees CI is solving most business needs related to Continuous Integration and Deployment. The solution is also easily scalable on modern platforms, enabling users to get the most out of the infrastructure provided. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

BS Bhushan s. Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 9/8/2023 "Review on cloudbees" 3/5 What do you like best about CloudBees? Bringing lots of people and tools together, let them chat with each other and get the delivery of the product as fast as possible. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about CloudBees? Sometimes it's too complex the built the flow of the company, setting up people is the other huge pain and lastly grouping the last in the stages is another issue Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is CloudBees solving and how is that benefiting you? Simultaneously feature release on single app. First we had two engineers but after fund raise we have 40 engineers(5 pods) releasing new feature every two weeks Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

VC Vivian C. Chief Information Security Officer Enterprise (\> 1000 emp.) 3/28/2022 "Our Success Is Dependent on It." 3/5 What do you like best about CloudBees? Cloudbees gives a more streamlined approach to managing our business. My most efficient program for Jenkins to date, it delivers Jenkins at scale. Kubernetes cluster management has become a breeze thanks to a user-friendly interface and a simple-to-use application. The majority of our cloud-hosted applications run smoothly on Cloudbees as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about CloudBees? It would be wonderful if the open-source version had the ability to maintain a multi-master setup, given the fact that we must. The Cloudbees support team informs us that the plugin is a level 6 supported plugin and that nothing can be done. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering CloudBees: It is simple to update and share Pipeline thanks to the plugins that make it possible for others to go through changes to the configuration and execute unit tests on them if necessary. This feature, which allows users to easily add and remove nodes without the need for any software licensing, is available on the vast majority of operating systems. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is CloudBees solving and how is that benefiting you? With all of the features that may be hosted either on-premises or in the public cloud, CloudBees CI is a key answer for our firm when it comes to reworking the tools that are tested there. Ensures that all of your development teams using Jenkins have access to the same self-service platform. CloudBees CI is designed to work on Kubernetes on current cloud platforms. I think it does a great job of connecting the cloud with connections to preserve periodicity. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Director of IT Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 4/25/2022 "The use of cloud bees for efficient scheduling of jobs" 3/5 What do you like best about CloudBees? An efficient archiver. It has a copy of everything in case something goes wrong. A Pipeline procedure is employed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about CloudBees? Only one or two service builds can be scheduled at a time. When a build fails, more services are triggered to be built in the pipeline. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering CloudBees: I am not generally good at recommending but I think they should pay special attention to the pipelines and investigate before purchasing the software.

We currently use this for feature flagging new releases within our platform. It's easy enough to build a target group based on certain attributes and update that to rollout features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about CloudBees? Initial load time of the Cloudbees UI, and there have been a few instances where the load of the system and updating of a feature flag has degraded the performance of our app Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is CloudBees solving and how is that benefiting you? I solely use this from an administrative/operations side of enrolling customers in new paid features within our platform. It does the trick, but we are moving to a more expansive platform Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Cloudbees hasn’t added much to Jenkins. And Jenkins stopped innovating since a long time ago." 2.5/5 What do you like best about CloudBees? Jenkins Operation Center somewhat tries to simplify deploying and managing Jenkins for admins Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about CloudBees? Compared to more modern cicd tools like gitlab ci, drone ci, Jenkins lacks a lot of features Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Show More Validated ReviewerIncentivizedSource: G2 invite on behalf of seller MS Martin S. Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 11/13/2020 "Very customizable, but also very time consuming to maintain" 2.5/5 What do you like best about CloudBees? Shared libraries, that allow us to create one Pipeline that is used by multiple projects of the same type. Our previous engine didn't allow this and when we needed to introduce a change to the delivery process, we had to update hundreds of pipelines manually. This goes away with Shared libraries. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about CloudBees? Maintenance burden is a hell. You need an engineer full time to keep an eye on updates of the products, updates of the plugins, making sure all the used plugins are still compatible (in case they fall into community tier), and all the setup and maintenance that comes with a product that you host yourself (infrastructure maintenance and updates, pagerduty setup, proper guidelines for support of internal teams using the product...etc). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering CloudBees: If you consider purchasing CloudBees yourself, make sure you have enough capacity to carry on the related maintenance burden. Also that the team has enough experience with the underlying infrastructure. If not, rather look at SaaS solutions like Jfrog Pipelines or CircleCI. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is CloudBees solving and how is that benefiting you? At the moment, we have problems with underlying kubernetes infrastructure - we're still tuning what is the right memory setup, number of pods per team, what their size should be, etc. Also, there are some plugins (proprietary, developed by CloudBees), which has bugs that make them impossible to use in larger scale. Usually their support is quite helpful, but sometimes, they will tell you - this is infrastructure, you need to deal with it yourself. Which sometimes is true, but sometimes would be nice to provide couple of hints or articles about how to do that, especially if you don't have years of experience with kubernetes, docker and AWS EKS (this is our setup). The benefit of using CloudBees compare to using Jenkins for sure is the Operations Center which allow nice Cluster management (restarts and updates of all the connected masters at once). On the down side, even though are masters (the ones that execute the actual jobs) are the same, they behave quite stochastic and require large deal of troubleshooting during maintenance windows (sometimes they bet stuck at unready status, sometimes they time out on attaching persistent volumes...etc).
