Provides a user-friendly and simple user interface
What is our primary use case?
We are running over 200 applications in CloudBees. We integrate different DevOps tools like Vault, SonarQube, Nexus, Nexus IQ, and Ansible with CloudBees. We use the tool to create multiple pipelines, like multi-branch pipelines, declarative pipelines, standalone pipelines, and parameterized pipelines.
We upgrade CloudBees on a time-to-time basis. We create the Docker images and push them to Harbor using CloudBees. We also create nodes like the Ansible and Docker nodes to run the images on that particular node. For the dot net application, we configured the Windows slave machine on CloudBees.
What is most valuable?
CloudBees's user interface is very simple and user-friendly. If anyone knows a little bit about CloudBees, they can understand it better regarding where to go, how to go, how to create a pipeline, and what parameters they have to configure. Users don't have to dig too much. They just need to log in, and everything is there for them to read and operate.
What needs improvement?
I noticed that CloudBees runs too slowly because some applications run more than 50 pipelines. When we try to open it, it takes too long and shows an error message saying the service is unavailable. While raising a case with the vendor, the vendor asks us to share the support bundle logs for the pipeline. When we try to download the support bundle logs, it still shows me the service unavailable error.
How are customer service and support?
When we tell the support team about our problem, we don't get the exact solution. The same issues keep repeating, and they ask us to upgrade the plug-in for many issues. However, upgrading the plug-in does not help fix the issue.
We are facing some issues for which we have tried everything, but it hasn't been fixed. The support team told us to upgrade the version to fix those issues, but I don't know whether that was correct.
How would you rate customer service and support?
How was the initial setup?
The solution's initial setup is simple for someone who knows CloudBees well.
What other advice do I have?
We have an option called configuration management in the cloud. We have installed a Vault plugin and mentioned the Vault URL and the token in the configuration management. Using that, we have integrated CloudBees with Vault. For SonarQube, we installed a SonarQube plugin and then mentioned the URL, username, and password. Using that, we integrated SonarQube with CloudBees.
I would recommend the solution to other users. New users should see the plug-ins and features, regardless of their version. When you try to implement CloudBees in your environment, you should build the infrastructure based on how many applications CloudBees can support and how many pipelines you will run on those applications. This prevents CloudBee's performance from becoming slow.
Customers will get upset and give bad reviews if the solution's performance worsens. Users must keep these things in mind before implementing CloudBees in their environment.
Overall, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.

cloudbees service now integration for release automation
What do you like best about the product?
Cloudbees provides a way to manage all releases under one central location.
The fact that it seemlessly integrates with Jenkins for triggering/pulling/updating CI build status back to the relwas pipeline is quite useful. Meaning I don't have to go back to my Jenkins CI web page to look for build status of each trigger.
What do you dislike about the product?
The over complexity of defining and using a plugin or a simple environment variable to be utilized inside a procedure seems more complex when compared to working with Jenkins or gitlab CI tools.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Cloudbees manages releases and it's timelines under one roof for each project. Each release can be associated with one single pipleljne per project. Jenkins CI builds status can be integrated as one step to capture build statuses in the same release pipeline run and also the entry and exit gates for approving the next procedure for deployments is quite useful as each gate can be configured with its own set of users to approve the deployments.
Great solution for overall service integration and can simplify various manual tasks
