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. ----- ### "Jenkins-Pros/Cons" — 4.0/5 > **saheed** | *15 October 2025* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10 > > **Pros**: Jenkins is a very good tool in software development and project execution. 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. ----- ### "Flexible automation platform with strong testing capabilities" — 4.0/5 > **Nikitha** | *5 September 2026* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Jenkins provides useful Features for automating software development and testing workflows. It can support Project Management by helping teams organize and monitor automated builds and deployments. The platform is also useful for Team Collaboration because developers and other technical team members can share build information and track workflow status. Once configured properly, Jenkins can make recurring development and Testing tasks more efficient. Overall, it provides good Value for Money for teams that need a flexible automation platform. > > **Cons**: The main drawback is the Ease of Use, especially for new users. Setting up pipelines and configuring plugins can require technical knowledge, and the interface can feel less intuitive than some newer tools. There can also be configuration issues or failed builds that require troubleshooting. I have limited direct experience with Customer Support, so I cannot strongly evaluate that aspect. > > My overall experience with Jenkins has been positive for development automation and Testing workflows. Its Features provide a high level of flexibility, while Project Management and build tracking capabilities help teams monitor ongoing work. Team Collaboration is useful when multiple developers need visibility into builds and deployment status. Although the Ease of Use could be improved for beginners and configuration can sometimes require troubleshooting, Jenkins provides good Value for Money for teams that need customizable automation. ----- ### "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. ----- ### "Functional but becomes way too complex" — 3.0/5 > **Edgar** | *22 December 2024* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 2.0/10 > > **Pros**: The software itself is stable, it runs well and is not too complex to install > > **Cons**: The fact that pipelines are built either with a UI which makes the pipeline tough to read when you have lots of conditions. The groovy language can also be used to write pipelines, but really ?? Let’s use a more common scripting language for this, maybe Python or ruby. ----- 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
