It facilitates team collaboration and integration with other tools like AWS service. It is a CI/CD tool which can ensure testing of software products before and after delivery and deployment. Its a cost effective means which removes manual efforts. > > **Cons**: It requires a lot of skills and can be learned over several years. Unfortunately, it cannot be executed locally without a server and setup. > > I started using Jenkins on a trial basis on my personal computer around 5 years ago. I must compared to another similar tool like TeamCity, it requires more to setup. However, in my current place of work, I have been using it on a day to day basis, and loving the experience. Its been very good and I am still developing my skills and experience. ----- ### "Massive Plugin Ecosystem" — 5.0/5 > **Flavio** | *11 March 2026* | Banking | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: I think the best feature in Jenkins is that I can customise it in my way and also integrates with major tec tools. It automates build, test and deployment processes and think this boosts team productivity. It's an open source widely adopted and integrates with GitHub quite well. > > **Cons**: Interface sometimes can be a bit challenging to understand. Should be a bit more use intuitive, so beginners can find it challenging to break through steep learning curve. ----- ### "Using Jenkins in managing CI/CD process" — 5.0/5 > **Jim** | *28 November 2025* | Telecommunications | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Jenkins is super powerful and ease to use in CI/CD, it can integrate all critical phases in checking out, building, testing and delivery. > > **Cons**: The plugin management is still complicated and required lots of rebooting, for example. If I forgot to install git plugin, I will need to reinstall it and reboot the whole Jenkins. > > I already used Jenkins since 2012, it is my first priority in CI/CD, it can be easily used in personal projects in container, as well as big corporate level IT projects. ----- ### "The Industry Standard for Flexible, Enterprise-Grade CI/CD Pipelines" — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *23 January 2026* | Government Administration | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The strongest feature is the Master-Slave architecture, which allows us to distribute heavy build workloads across multiple agents efficiently. I also rely heavily on Jenkins Pipelines (Jenkinsfile) to define our entire build-and-deploy process as code, which supports our agile development cycle perfectly. The sheer number of plugins available means I can integrate it with almost anything in our stack, from Docker and Kubernetes to SonarQube and Artifactory. > > **Cons**: The user interface (UI) feels a bit dated compared to newer tools like GitLab CI or CircleCI. Also, managing plugins can sometimes be a headache, specifically 'dependency hell' where updating one plugin breaks another. It requires careful maintenance to keep the controller stable. > > I have used Jenkins extensively to orchestrate end-to-end CI/CD infrastructure for highly secure government and financial environments. It serves as the backbone of our automation, handling everything from code checkout (Git/Bitbucket) to Docker image creation and deployment to Kubernetes clusters. While it requires some maintenance effort, its flexibility and control are unmatched for complex, custom enterprise workflows. ----- ### "Quick and flexible solution" — 5.0/5 > **Marvin** | *10 June 2026* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Easy to get started and running and does a great job at getting you going fast. Deployment was easy and the out of the box features allowed us to set up your automation quickly and easily. > > **Cons**: Unfortunately we had a bit of problems with long term reliability, though that was partly because of the self hosting, it also had problems with updates breaking automations > > Overall a solid choice for free open source automation. It has some weaknesses like many open source software has with lack of polish but overall definitely a recommendation for a quick and flexible solution. ----- Page: 1 / 24\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.co.uk/software/171026/jenkins?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.co.uk/software/171026/jenkins) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | ko | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
