"An open source CI-CD server written in Java"
4/5
What do you like best about Jenkins?

Jenkins works on all platforms be it Windows, Mac or Linux.

Jenkins is opensource and hence free to use although we need a physical server to host it.

It provides tonnes of plugins to support build deployment and automation. Creating our own plugins is also easy. We can write custom plugins to integrate Jenkins with other tools, to add or modify builds and more. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Jenkins?

Jenkins setup and configuration requires coding skills.

Jenkins is based on a single server architecture. It doesn't allow server to server federation which causes performance issues in largescale setup. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Easy and efficient"
4/5
What do you like best about Jenkins?

Best plugin support and build mechanism, commendable programming language integration phenomenon, built-in APIs for integration and smoothest deployment platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Jenkins?

Everything is good with Jenkins except the fact that in weaker network server it doesn't work. While starting with Jenkins, global declaration of each plugin until it's successfully added is a headache. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Jenkins: My experience using it"
3.5/5
What do you like best about Jenkins?

It is a very popular automation server that helps the team to improve the quality, speed and cost-effectiveness of the software development process. It is free, open-source, versatile, easy to use, scalable, and secure. It helps automate the testing process, build and deployment process, and task automation, otherwise to be done manually. Likable features: Jenkins pipelines, declarative pipelines, Jenkins jobs DSL. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Jenkins?

First thing: it can be complex to set up and configure due to its vast options/features. It is hungry for resources, i.e. it uses a lot of resources, which can be a problem for smaller projects. There is difficulty in troubleshooting if something goes wrong in Jenkings; there is no easy way to figure it out. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Most efficient and reliable tool for build and test code using pipeline"
5/5
What do you like best about Jenkins?

Jenkins is a very easy to setup tool to integrate and deploy software products. I like the way it does unit and integration tests on the code before creating a deployment package. It is very easy from Jenkins to publish snapshot/releases in to different repositories such as Nexus, AWS ECR, etc Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Jenkins?

Jenkins can add a feature to not allow pipeline building without user login for security purposes. Which is the only change I want to see. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
