Vorteile

The amount of information in the search results is significant, and it is easy to operate because it is free (easy to stop in case of emergency). A Docker agent and JenkinsX are also available, so they are compatible with the latest technology. Because it can be used not only on-premises but also with Kubernetes, it is helpful because the learned technology can be used for a long time, even if the stage changes.

Nachteile

Since the configuration screen is displayed in a tabbed format, there are times when you cannot see what you want to edit unless you show it at the bottom of the browser screen.

Vorteile

I never encountered that something could not be done on Jenkins. Jenkins is very versatile tool for CICD purposes.

Nachteile

The UI is a bit complex and the learning curve is steep. The UI of the website has not changed much in last years making it look a bit out-dated.We usually highly under-estimated time spent on any workflow that needed to be done in Jenkins.

Vorteile

Jenkins has excellent process automation capabilities and extensive features supporting it. You can create pipelines and jobs to support CICD projects. You also have extensive flexibility to set up the ideal job fitting your needs. There are also integrations to the widely used version control solutions. Moreover, Jenkins can be used in other programs using groovy and other programming languages. Jenkins is also a locally deployable solution, making it suitable for preventing security threats.

Nachteile

The access control tools in Jenkins are inadequate for big projects with multiple levels of stakeholders. More often than not, this requires numerous instances of Jenkins running to prevent unauthorised access.

Vorteile

Currently Jenkins is the only CI tool which has the largest set of plugins, it gives you more control over how it should work, like you can customize pipeline of continuous integration and delivery. There are plugins allow you to run Jenkins in kubernetes and docker but we never ran it on containers. Huge number of plugins available for Jenkins which allow you to integrate with other tools and customize it to your needs, plugins are available at Jenkins update center. Great thing about Jenkins is it work on windows, Linux and mac OS. Cost of using Jenkins is free because its open source although you need server to host it, you must maintain and update and that's your responsibility.

Nachteile

Jenkins is not easy to use you need to configure it and host it before using unlike tools like travis CI which is ready to be used.
Learning curve is steep because it has lot of features and customization which is little bit hard at start.
Hosting server is needed to host Jenkins, which means you also need to pay for hosting.
Maintenance and updation is user responsibility.

Vorteile

Jenkins is very simple to installation and configuration as standalone or cluster, just a few clicks to get Jenkins ready, it is flexible and easy to create Pipeline and Job from UI or by YML file. Jenkins support many plugins allows it easy to integrate with other tool and software such as AWS, Sonar, JMeter... and Jenkins support almost major language and OS.

Nachteile

Jenkins UI is simple and it is hard for manage when we have a large number of jobs and pipelines. It does not have features for tracking job history, sometimes accident deletes or changes a job and we unable to recover it.

Gründe für den Wechsel zu Jenkins

Vorteile

I've been using Jenkins for several years and find it extremely useful in solving any CI scenario from easy to very complex. With its rich library of plugins and active community, it's relatively easy to develop and debug pipelines. I like that some plugins provide embedded pages within builds for things like test reports, commit history, etc. Jenkins can also be easily integrated with a large number of external applications.

Nachteile

In my experience with Jenkins, I find plugin management to be the most troublesome. It is often the case, that plugins are no longer maintained, lack documentation, or break things with upgrades.

Vorteile

Jenkins provide easy build, pipeline, Version Control Management with ease of usability and control

Nachteile

Understanding the failure logs should be simplified

Vorteile

Relatively straight forward to use once its setup and well tuned. Developers know it, and its easy to hire devops folks with lots of Jenkins experience.

Nachteile

The access control story is still convoluted and requires attention. Easy to make mistakes. Setup is improved but still not as easy as newer competitors. Complicated pipelines are likely better suited to more modern tools

Vorteile

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.

Nachteile

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.

It's quite hard to configure Jenkins especially for beginner or newcomers. Things could go very complex since it has lot of features.

Vorteile

Jenkins plays a pivotal role in the DevOps toolchain, seamlessly integrating with other popular tools like Git, JIRA, Docker, and Kubernetes. It enables teams to automate and orchestrate their entire software development lifecycle, promoting collaboration and efficiency.

Nachteile

Jenkins' user interface may feel outdated and less intuitive compared to more modern CI/CD tools. The documentation, while comprehensive, might require improvement in terms of organization and ease of use. New users may need to rely on community resources and tutorials to navigate through initial setup and configuration.

Vorteile

It is easy to get started with a simple pipeline for your code.

Nachteile

Integration with plugins requires more knowledge than it should.

Vorteile

Best and one of the most must have software for an person in IT, it can automate the build and releasing of any application

Nachteile

It is very time consuming. Nothing else .

Vorteile

Jenkins allows to create perfectly customized pipeline for automated continuous deployment and integration. It has all necessary features to support project of any size.

Nachteile

The documentation of pipeline configuration could be more easy to read and could have better examples.

Vorteile

The support for pipelines-as-code is good. The user interface is good enough where it doesn't get in the way but it lets you still do a lot of things, you don't need to code your pipelines but of course you can if you want to make your life easier. My use cases (Running maven or gradle commands, running docker containers) were well supported.

Nachteile

You need an in-house expert most of the time, since there are of course bugs and workarounds that only a heavy user would be able to navigate. The flexibility it gives you sometimes comes with the price of being too complex if you have simple use cases.

Vorteile

It’s features and the product is open source. It also has api support which is amazing

Nachteile

The cron schedule, every time It’s hard to understand or use this.

Vorteile

Makes it easy to deploy applications/services into different environments like DEV/QA/PROD. Easy to implement GitHub webhooks into job builds.

Nachteile

Does not provide application monitoring or management functionality straight out of the box. Pipelines can be slow if configured incorrectly.

Vorteile

Jenkins is one of the best automation tool for deployment. It’s easy to configure and maintain. The Jenkins implementation don’t need large code based enchantment to configure and implement it which makes it easy to opt. The build pipeline is easy to manage with it. Jenkins helps in boosting the agile process with automation which helps in speeding the delivery of the product. Jobs are easy to configure the build and deploy the code on multiple servers at once. Various third party pulgins give the wings to it. The large plugin community and easy plugin development make the process easy.

Nachteile

Jenkins jobs configuration wizard should be more enhanced and should come with some more features which help to setup the jobs faster. Jenkins should also increase the documentation on the plugins development. Before updating Jenkins we always need to check its compatibility with the other plugins we are working with, this process should be simple.

Vorteile

Jenkins is a powerful tool for achieving the continuous integration and delivery. Jenkins provide the various plugins to build, test and deploy the code. Implementing the application don't need any major code changes. Large scale infrastructure can be easily managed by the distributed Jenkins architecture to build and deploy the projects in faster way. The rich set of plugins help in setting up the jobs steps. The open source code of Jenkins provide the transparency about each module.

Nachteile

Jenkins should provide the recommendation of pipelines as per the product needs. View filters need more enhancement for customization and Throttle build plugins keep stopping in the latest update. There are a limited plugins for snapshot of configuration as I think it should be an in-build feature of Jenkins itself.

Vorteile

Jenkins is an essential tool for running automated scripts without human intervention. Jenkins can be directly integrated with the scripts stored in github via Jenkins Source Code Management and those scripts can be run using Jenkins projects. Various kinds of projects like Free style, maven projects can be created using Jenkins. Also, in the Post Build options mail ids can be configured to send reports and alerts after completion of test run. The Jenkins jobs can be selected to run in various suitable schedules daily, weekly or as required.

Nachteile

The configuration part of Jenkins is bit complicated. Not all Jenkins plugins are compatible with the code and updating Jenkins configuration is a cumbersome process. Also, sometimes, the Jenkins instances slow down a lot increasing the code execution time.

Vorteile

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.

Nachteile

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.

Vorteile

You can customize a lot of things and also create shared libraries and use JTE to simplify the work

Nachteile

You need to keep updating the versions and has a lot of security issues

Vorteile

I love that Jenkins and all plugins are completely free, and how customisable and extensible it is. You have complete control over every aspect of your pipelines and every tiny cog and dial is tweakable.

Nachteile

There is a steep learning curve, and setting up and maintaining the Jenkins environment can be an entire day job on its own. If you don't have a dedicated DevOps team to manage it, you might find yourself losing many productive hours to maintaining the CI system, and you might be better off with a CI system that does more for you out-of-the-box.

Vorteile

Jenkins is an incredibly versatile and reliable tool for continuous integration and continuous deployment (CI/CD). As a senior automation tester, I appreciate its seamless integration with various version control systems, making it easy to trigger automated tests whenever new code is pushed by a developer. The extensive plugin ecosystem allows for significant customization and expansion of its functionalities. One of my favorite features is its ability to expose Allure reports, providing detailed and visually appealing test result reports that are easy to share with stakeholders.

Nachteile

While Jenkins is a powerful tool, it can be quite complex to set up and configure, especially for those who are new to it. The user interface, although functional, feels outdated and can be cumbersome to navigate at times. Additionally, managing a large number of plugins can sometimes lead to compatibility issues and maintenance overhead.

Vorteile

The main reason to like Jenkins' is online interface, which offers integrated assistance and real-time error checking, makes it simple to set up and configure. The second thing it's very easy handle and they provide lots of plugins for pipeline project automation testing. Thirdly, there is The Continuous Delivery feature makes software delivery more dependable, automated, and efficient, which promotes better cooperation, quicker software releases, and higher-quality software overall. These are the reasons why I continue to use Jenkins

Nachteile

My side opinion Jenkins don't have the drawbacks it's really very well of all testers.

Vorteile

In its time, Jenkins was an outstanding tool. It was my go to for automation or all kinds, not just continuous integration. I have successfully delivered several projects with it. Jenkinsfiles and JCASC have been solid attempts to improve the Jenkins experience over the years.

Nachteile

Jenkins is hard to operate, gives you fewer and fewer options for well-maintained plugins and it's relatively easy to break pipelines in hard to understand ways. I would not recommend using Jenkins now that there are so many better options. I have spent many hours in an organisation where it was the preferred tool, trying to make pipelines more reliable, build custom plugins and meet security standards. It can be done but other products have so much of that prebuilt, why spend the time!
