KishoreKumar4 - PeerSpot reviewer
Senior Qe Lead at Cognizant
Consistent automation has improved deployments and supports efficient client-facing workflows
Deployment and other processes are feasible for me, making this a smooth process. The integration part is good. We can use multiple things by integrating with CI/CD pipelines, and this is very feasible for us. This allows us to do our work easily. The productivity is very good. CloudBees is a good and efficient tool. We can work in client-facing scenarios, and since clients have provided these types of tools, we are able to work on them effectively.

YAML-based configuration and simple deployment but user interface needs modernizing
Travis CI is an okay tool, and I am forced to use it as part of my job. I don't maintain it; it is running somewhere else, and I don't have control over it. The interface is very basic and not user-friendly; it feels like it was stuck in 2010. It is very basic and designed for lightweight CI work, and it cannot handle heavy CI. You cannot do branched flows, and you will have to write shell scripts to send calls here and there. The pipelines are not as detailed as some other CI/CD tools. If Travis is down, you don't have any control over it and need to reach out to their customer support.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"CloudBees operates seamlessly. Deploying to a cluster is straightforward—just one click, and the job is done."
"The security audit product offered by CloudBees is particularly beneficial in automating audit processes, which reduces the time developers spend on audits."
"The most valuable features are Java features, microservice communication, payment validation, Jenkins Sonar, management master to CloudBees, Blue Ocean, JobConfig, and support."
"Scalability largely depends on how the tool is set up within your infrastructure"
"CloudBees's user interface is very simple and user-friendly."
"CloudBees is a user-friendly tool."
"One recent product feature that stands out is the pipeline explorer, which is providing significant value for us right now."
"The solution's most valuable feature is its flexibility."
"The only thing I like about Travis CI is that you have a YAML file to define a Travis flow."
 

Cons

"A lot of stability issues are there with CloudBees."
"Improvements in resolution time may vary since every environment has different needs."
"For CloudBees, I can suggest that the log is very high, which is very hectic for us when trying to find which error is coming."
"There are connection issues with CloudBees, specifically between Sybase and CloudBees. W"
"To use the tool, you need to be familiar with the tool itself and with how it will be incorporated into the culture."
"I would like to see improved speed and availability."
"We've noticed occasional issues with folder permissions changing unexpectedly. Specifically, permissions sometimes shift from the CloudBees user to the root user. This can cause pipeline failures, as pipelines require the correct CloudBees user permissions to execute properly."
"We did face some challenges, particularly with the infrastructure."
"The interface is very basic and not user-friendly; it feels like it was stuck in 2010."
