It has easy connectivity for getting our pipelines into the cloud on AWS
The primary use case is CI/CD.
How has it helped my organization?
It has improved our pipeline automation. It has been there from the initial phases, just manually deploying everything that we need to by doing the builds. It does all the sanity checks to having a completely automated pipeline. This is where we sit now. It has been there all the way along the road for us.
It does everything that we need it to do for our team.
What is most valuable?
It works. It has easy connectivity for getting our pipelines into the cloud on AWS. We have no complaints, as it has always done what we wanted it to do.
What needs improvement?
Nothing is perfect, and there is room for improvement in the product. I am reserving judgment for the unknown.
For how long have I used the solution?
One to three years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
Our team does not put much stress on it, but it's a shared instance. I'm sure enterprise-wide that there's a lot of stress. Teams are constantly building and deploying, but it works seamlessly for us. We don't see any performance degradation.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
It is being used enterprise-wide. We have never had any performance issues. It does what it's supposed to do.
How is customer service and technical support?
We have not used the technical support.
From an organizational perspective having technical support available, even though we haven't needed it, is definitely a nice thing to have rather than rely on the open source community as a whole for a baseline product like Jenkins. It is worth the money to have that support available when you need it.
Which solutions did we use previously?
We were using an open source version of it, Jenkins. When we found out it was available enterprise-wide and a license already existed, we transitioned into it.
How was the initial setup?
The integration and configuration of CloudBees in our AWS environment was pretty much plug and play. We have admin rights anytime we need to plug into a new service. We just download a plugin, and it spins up and works.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
Pricing must be fair because we just renewed our license a couple months ago.
What other advice do I have?
