Review for CloudBees CI

  • March 14, 2022
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Few of the aspects of Cloudbees which was very useful was their security system and scalability aspect. The security system ensured that segregate jobs are with respective agents only and unauthorized user does not access that. The scalability aspect allowed for increased workload without disrupting the work. It is very easy to use and can be easily integrated with different version control providers.
What do you dislike about the product?
It does not provide progress/ estimated time required to build, test and deploy. It would be better if I can get the overview to highlight areas of improvement.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It was used for continuous delivery purpose of the website and it had resulted in less lead time as it was easy to set up and deploy and it was easily integrated with other environment

Enhances system performance and overall efficiency

What do you like best about the product?
Jenkins, a string platform, can be made unbeatable with a little help from CloudBees. It is now easier for developers to concentrate on their work rather than spend time preparing for deployment. Because we can spend more time developing rather than merely deploying, productivity should rise as a result of CloudBees' help. Everything, from development to testing, can be automated.
What do you dislike about the product?
Other than the implementation expense, I saw nothing that might be regarded a drawback. Otherwise, everything seems to be working as it should. Training is required for new users; beyond that, it's a piece of cake.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As a result of CloudBees CI, software development and delivery processes become more transparent and open. It's not only good for the coders; it's good for the whole firm. These advantages ensure that the company can better plan and implement its marketing strategies in accordance with these benefits.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
This instrument is one that I often suggest since it is so solid and dependable. This prevents users from accessing repositories that they are not supposed to be able to interact with. It's also possible to create "folders" in CloudBees to separate off the execution of certain jobs onto different agents.

It's simple to use and offers a variety of options for integration

  • March 03, 2022
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
This makes it simple to manage kubernates pods and Docker deployments. It simplifies the whole build automation process and makes validation simple. The CloudBees crew provides excellent customer service. It is a cloud-native solution for continuous integration. We are utilizing the open-source Docker image for Cloudbee's Jenkins distribution, and we appreciate the constant upgrades, testing, and other work that goes into making such a product available to the public.
What do you dislike about the product?
Given the fact that we must maintain a multi-master configuration, it would be ideal if facilities for this were included in the open-source version as well. When we have difficulties with plugins, we are informed by Cloudbees support that the plugin is a level 3 supported plugin and that nothing can be done.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Managing numerous build settings with the Pipeline plugin is quite convenient, and the value of utilizing Pipelines in conjunction with shared libraries is enormous. With a single click, the multi-branch pipeline plugin allows us to generate numerous jobs for various branches at once. The combined usage of declarative and scripting pipelines allows us to simply exchange build settings with just the information that is required to be provided at the time. Because they are so lightweight, shared libraries are extremely useful in practically all of our processes and may be used in a variety of ways.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
As a result of the usage of the Pipeline suite of plugins, it is quite manageable and can be shared with others who can examine the configuration changes and also run unit tests on them as needed. The ability to simply add and remove nodes without the need to license any software on the vast majority of operating systems available is a significant bonus.

Critical Factor for Our Success

  • March 02, 2022
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Cloudbees provides a more simplified solution to handle our management operations. It delivers Jenkins at scale and is the most efficient software for Jenkins I have used. Nowadays I can easily manage Kubernetes clusters from an appealing interface and easy-to-navigate software. We also utilize with ease Cloudbees for a majority of our cloud-hosted applications, and it works well.
What do you dislike about the product?
While we frequently spin containers, we have experienced one and a few times a slow performance. Also, more enhancements could be directed towards improving the code snippets of Cloudbees. The learning curve is also pretty slow, and newly onboarded users have to be walked through, which is time-consuming.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We fixed the issues we had on bug detection. Now, this can be done much earlier. Cloudbees has given us a good return for our investments since it is rich in CI resources. Working in the back-end, we utilize Cloudbees in testing pipelines before their release.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I have experienced firsthand the fantastic framework of Cloudbees CI, enjoying the favorable pricing that assures you returns on your investments within just a few months. I'd urge all potential buyers to explore it.

Good product but lots of competition in the market

  • March 01, 2022
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Huge array of plugins available. Pipelines have great simple visualistion. The tools is very flexible and extensibe. Account Management team are very helpful.
What do you dislike about the product?
Officially supported plugins are not always availble. Running a large installation can get expensive compared to some other tools available for much less cost.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Building and deplyoing code using CI/CD pipelines. Managing infrastructure pipelines. Automation makes these tasks very efficient and easy. Turaround time has greatly increaded. Developer productivity has increased.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Talk to the account team about how best to implement the tools. Look at the community plugins and support available. Also check the competition - tools is great but do you need the full blown product or can you manage to start CI/CD journey easier and cheaper.

Some CloudBees Jenkins plugins provide very valuable features

  • March 01, 2022
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Teams can get up and running fast with pre-configured templates thanks to the onboarding tools. I highly recommend utilizing Jenkins for automation because of the excellent support and the accuracy and effectiveness of the output. I appreciate your help in this area because it's so straightforward and helpful. Cloudbee Jenkins is a popular DevOps platform automation tool.
What do you dislike about the product?
The relocation was complicated by the fact that certain teams used spinners in their internal operations, which needed calibration. There may be no bees gone, but I don't think that's the case. The CloudBees proprietary plugins appear to have a few issues here and there, which might cause crashes from time to time.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Jenkins Assistant will be easier to handle now that we're transitioning to DevOps, so developers may customize their own processes without interfering with others. On top of Jenkins, CloudBees CI provides excellent support and additional features. Although the costs and lack of access to proprietary components are a drawback, it is crucial to evaluate the increased capability to see whether it is worth the price.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
To orchestrate our CI processes and automate routine engineering tasks, we're utilizing CloudBees CI. Since moving away from Jenkins, we've seen a significant increase in the speed and reliability with which we can create and release software.

CloudBees, the company that enables our success.

  • March 01, 2022
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The people at Cloudbees always strive to be at the forefront of the software industry and support their customers on the road to technological modernization. The team I got to work with is very helpful and professional.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is really nothing to highlight. We have some delays, but they are inherent to the size of our own projects, teams, and the companies we have acquired that have not yet finished merging with us. Cloudbees was not a stopper at any point.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Platform scalability and technological upgrade. They have a great team and solutions for both. We have started the quest for our platform upgrade and modernization.

It simplifies and expedites the automated processes

  • March 01, 2022
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
With a 3D architecture-based application, CloudBees CI is a powerful automation solution. It clarifies how the software we utilized with CloudBees CI was built with continuous integration and delivery in mind. Very professional and educated CloudBees customer service representatives are here to assist you. If you're not a Java programmer, you may find that these plugins and documentation help fill in the gaps in Jenkins' plugins and documentation. It's not always easy to figure out where they're headed. I may, however, ask for a rapid solution if I have a requirement. I like how meticulously you explain each step in your tutorials.
What do you dislike about the product?
Everything is in order, and the customer is getting excellent service, but the documentation might be improved so that new users can get up and running quickly and understand how the scripts work. Information such as where to seek for an update file or how to handle a certain folder may be absent from the instructions at times.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It makes the automated chores simple and fasts to perform without affecting our developer's team atmosphere or compliance requirements. Teams can get up and running fast with pre-configured templates thanks to the onboarding tools. If you have your own Jenkins server and utilize it for critical functions, purchasing a service agreement is a good investment. The money you spend now will spare you the agony of tomorrow.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
As a result, I had to make sure that the new Jenkins installation had all of the same features as our original Jenkins installation. The human effort may be reduced as well, and it does so in a clever way. Overall, it's a good fit for our team of developers who use CloudBees CI to do automated tasks. In the area of continuous integration and delivery, CloudBees is delivering excellent service.
