Brakeman Scanner vs. GoCD

GoCD is easy to set up. So if you just want to get some pipelines up & running quickly, & they're quite stable, or you can have many pipelines for different needs then GoCD is great. Still, if you only want to have a few pipelines, but with the flexibility to run them with different parameters dynamically, then Jenkins is better.

• Pipeline-as-Code works really well. All our pipelines are defined in yml files, which are checked into SCM.
• The ability to link multiple pipelines together is really cool. Later pipelines can declare a dependency to pick up the build artifacts of earlier ones.
• Agents definition is really great. We can define multiple different kinds of environments to best suit our diverse build systems.

• UI can be improved
• Location for settings can be re-arranged
• API for setting up pipeline

I prefer using GoCD compared to Jenkins. The UI makes sense, I like the simplicity to hit the 'Play' button for a straightforward deployment of the 'Play +' if you need to override some settings when deploying whereas Jenkins, you have the whole page for each pipeline. The environment makes sense but can often confuse the user while GoCD simply has a drop-down to select your environment.

• ROI has been good since it's open source
• Settings.xml need to be backed up periodically. It contains all the settings for your pipelines! We accidentally deleted before and we have to restore and re-create several missing pipelines
• More straight forward use of API and allows filtering e.g., pull all pipelines triggered after this date
