CI stuff that matters
What do you like best about the product?
Cloudbees is one such tool which can be used not only for CI it has great security, governance and audit is well in place. Build , Test. & run matters. Kudos to the simplified tool all in one.
What do you dislike about the product?
I would prefer to use script instead of the UI.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
By implementing the CI, i am solving many problems like quicker turn around time, efficiency and more reliable. Automation is all that matters in CI.
Automation is necessary and so is CloudBees CI
What do you like best about the product?
CloudBees CI is a great tool for automation. Automation is the need of the hour for each individual for each firm. Automation helps you speed up processes and decrease the time taken to be delivered to the customer. That is what is needed. Everyone has very less time and want things integrated and delivered quickly.
What do you dislike about the product?
The errors can be more subtle and crisp. Using some scripting the errors can be made more readable.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
there are multiple benefits as can be seen while using the tools, including the interface and how it is to use the tool. the tool is a lot handy to use and interact with. In this automation workd such tools help in faster and continuous integration.
Complete CI
What do you like best about the product?
design is good and documentation is good
What do you dislike about the product?
sometime need to look for scripts on google
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
isolation of releases and branching
Well supported orchestration for your CI pipelines
What do you like best about the product?
Scripted masters and Kubernetes based system which allows us to scale out our pipelines and services without manual intervention.
What do you dislike about the product?
Upgrading and keeping an eye for patches can be time-consuming. Though the Cloudbees support and advisor removes the time for investigations.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have saved numerous hours of maintenance and debugging by taking advantage of CloudBees support and their CI advisories.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
CloudBees CI is flexible with a large ecosystem of every needed plugin and well supported by their support team. With helm, upgrading Cloudbees CI is easier than it's ever been, though it still requires keeping an eye on the changes and parsing the release notes with a critical eye. A poorly executed upgrade can take your system offline for hours.
Cloud bee has Mature CI Product
What do you like best about the product?
I liked complete workflow design capabilities. Has a very good UI , covers almost all features
What do you dislike about the product?
Even though product has very rich features configuring them is bit Complex
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It has integration to electric cloud which makes project management and release management Very easy
Recommendations to others considering the product:
CloudBees products are very good with great features which makes build and deployment easy
The standard in CI/CD - with great advantages of the paid version, but also disadvantages
What do you like best about the product?
Jenkins is extended by many helpful enterprise plugins like role based access, templates and many more and especially by connecting the various Jenkins to one huge cluster that you can manage and operate like one large Jenkins including trigger and copy artifact. Installed on a cloud system like OpenShift, you can even spin up a new Jenkins with one click. License allows any number of Jenkins instances.
Teams can be onboarded and managed easily with templates.
Automated and quality assured updates of most important plugins make maintenance a lot easier.
Support is professional and fast in most cases.

What do you dislike about the product?
The paid version is quite expensive. The license model was improved - it formerly was per master and executors which could lead to architecture based on license. Today it is better, now based on users (logged in or committing to SCM) , but with high costs per user, which can lead to hight costs very fast or it might lead you to try to limit number of users or switch some projects back to open source Jenkins losing the clustering advantages for these teams.
Changes and bugfixes sometimes can take a long time if they are important for you but not relevant for (many) other customers.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Jenkins, the de facto standard for CI, can be a lot more useful with the enterprise plugins and with the clustering option.
You can manage large projects or many teams and projects a lot better than with one large Jenkins (Jenkinstein) or with many small non-connected ones.
Refactoring is made easier by just moving directories/projects around in the cluster.
Jobs can run as if they were on one large Jenkins (i.e. trigger, copy artifacts etc.)

CloudBees CI is to use for any sort of automation for build and deployments
What do you like best about the product?
Very useful when using with multi branch pipelines. Easy to connect agents and adding separate Jenkins nodes for different products when we have more load. We can easily connect the other tools like bitbucket , Harness, artifactory and Jira to have easy automation. Blue ocean UI is very much recommended by our developers and testing team to have more visibility in the logs.
What do you dislike about the product?
Difficult UI to use while configuring the jobs. And Global config takes very long time to load.Deployments are a bit difficult to configure . Windows connectivity to Amazon AWS agents is having lot of bugs. Sometimes we experience lot of problems with number of plugins and it is difficult to identify which plugin is causing the problems.Lot of times we endup in uninstalling the plugin which are old or deprecated. Only few of them are supported by Cloudbees support.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use CloudBees CI for our daily builds and deployments. And also use CloudBees CI for self service jobs which help to increase the developer productivity. We use for our CI for almost all the products and Test Automation and also for mobile device testing.
We are also solving all the automation required for the QA teams and Dev Ops teams and also UI teams for day to day automations.

Good product to automate everything
What do you like best about the product?
Lots of plugin and open source version too
What do you dislike about the product?
Interface is outdated and slow sometimes
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We automated all our build and releases globally
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Make sure to not just add plugins you need to understand what you are doing first
Cloudbees CI has good plugin support and configurability.
What do you like best about the product?
Most 3rd party tools are supported usually via a plugin. Documentation on cloudbees is really good.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's sometimes hard to diagnose build failures. We see often see networking problems when agent disconnections. It's hard to manage large number of plugin versions.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It's good for creating automation and building source code and pushing to repositories.
An easy CI to learn and implement complex networks of builds
What do you like best about the product?
The ability to add multiple plugins that make room for so many use-cases. Most importantly the Pipeline plugin with shared libraries makes builds configuration management quite manageable. With a mix of declarative and scripted pipeline, we can create some really complex pipelines that make use of several other plugins and still be able to manage them, source control them and share with ease. The ability to add custom plugins is great to be able to cater some personalized solutions.
What do you dislike about the product?
The UI lacks visual appeal, and editing pipeline configurations from the UI is still not easy and even possible in some cases. Blue Ocean is a nice visualization of the pipeline but it lacks many custom features and is not as easy to use as projected. Multiple pipeline builds running on the server makes memory management bit of an issue. Not many customization options for user profile. Needs to be updated for modern color scheme and design.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Managing multiple build configurations using the Pipeline plugin, the benefit of Pipelines coupled with shared libraries is immense. The multi-branch pipeline plugin allows us to create multiple jobs for different branches with a click. Combined use of declarative and scripted pipeline helps us share build configurations easily with only as much information needed to be shared. Shared libraries are really powerful to use in almost all of our pipelines due to the fact that they are so lightweight.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It can really scale for multiple projects and the use of Pipeline suite of plugins makes it very manageable and shareable with others that can review the configuration changes and also run unit tests on them. The option to add nodes and remove nodes easily without having to license any on majority of the OSes out there is a huge plus.
