Updates are very frequent ----- ### "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. ----- ### "Reliable and Flexible CI/CD Solutio" — 5.0/5 > **Arti** | *6 May 2026* | Accounting | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: As a Jenkins user, I like how flexible it is and how many plugins are available to fit different needs. It integrates well with our tools and helps automate builds and deployments efficiently. Once everything is set up, it saves a lot of time and makes our workflow smoother. > > **Cons**: I find it can be difficult to set up and maintain, especially with many plugins. The UI feels outdated and not very intuitive. Managing pipelines and troubleshooting failures can take time, and plugin compatibility issues sometimes cause instability. > > Overall experience has been positive. It’s powerful, flexible, and supports extensive automation with a wide range of plugins. While setup and maintenance can be tricky and the UI feels a bit outdated, it significantly improves our CI/CD workflows once configured. Despite occasional plugin issues, it’s a reliable tool that saves time and boosts productivity for our development team. ----- ### "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.com.au/software/171026/jenkins?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.com.au/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
