CloudBees Continuous Integration vs. Travis CI

If you're running Jenkins in your enterprise and it's in the critical path of your software pipelines, I highly recommend CloudBees Jenkins over the open source version of the product to ensure you've got the customer and technical support you'll need for your Jenkins platform to be successful.

TravisCI is suited for workflows involving typical software development but unfortunately I think the software needs more improvement to be up to date with current development systems and TravisCI hasn't been improving much in that space in terms of integrations.

• It's simple and easy to get started (it can detect the language being used based on build configuration files like a Maven pom.xml).
• It's free (as in beer) for open source projects.
• It has a responsive staff (you can file issues on GitHub to ask for new languages or packages to be supported, and the turnaround time isn't too bad for the free offering).
• The user interface is beautiful and easy-to-use, including features like live-tailing in-progress builds.
• It supports specifying private environment variables and encrypted credentials, so that you can safely automate deployments (for example, pushing built docker images to DockerHub).

Incentivized

• File or Workspace Management
• Agent configurations at master level
• Better Support for issues in product

• Travis CI is a fairly mature platform now, and most, if not all of the common complaints have been improved. This includes documentation and logs with color support.

TravisCI hasn't had much changes made to its software and has thus fallen behind compared to many other CI/CD applications out there. I can only give it a 5 because it does what it is supposed to do but lacks product innovation.

Support seems very unreachable from my experience. They handle cases if developers are facing issues, support seems to be very limited. It's not like other tools in a market where every mail is being taken priority and responses are sent. We see a lack in this particular aspect when it comes to CloudBees Jenkins Platform.

After the private equity firm had bought this company the innovation and support has really gone downhill a lot. I am not a fan that they have gutted the software trying to make money from it and put innovation and product development second.

Easy to lean, use, highly customizable pipelines, works well for version control, etc. Example Digital.ai gives all those features which can be done in Jenkins like builds, deployment, release management, etc. But, it requires universal templates to be created which are difficult to maintain and readable like groovy pipelines in Jenkins.

Jenkins is probably the leading choice for automation and has loads of features and a large community behind it, but it can be overkill for many projects. It also has more of a web 1.0 look and interface. CircleCI is another similar big competitor, but cannot compete with Travis CI's free account [in my opinion].

Incentivized

• Positive - Handles number of requests
• Positive - Customizations of pipelines helps integrate many type of frameworks
• Negative - Cache management on agents for dependencies downloaded
• Positive - credential management helps reduce configurations to be done for each project job at manual level

Incentivized

• It saves you in infrastructure and setup costs, since running a server and installing and maintaining Jenkins can be a hassle.
