    They don't even do any unit testing so I guess I'll be configuring the Git plugin and whatever build engine they want to use. NAnt or whatever.

    Can't think how Jenkins can be anything other than a tiny part of environments and builds.

    And didn't it used to be called Hudson?

    Used it predominantly to manage unit testing so far. Not too awful unlike some systems I've used, certainly not a waste of time.

    I've not used Jenkins but used TeamCity (and Bamboo for a little bit) for .NET CI and then Octopus Deploy for deployments.

    It depends on what you mean by "doing" Jenkins.

    As previously said, it's pretty damned easy to set up Jenkins as a stand alone that just builds the software. If you are talking about the set-up that I am responsible for - several servers, multiple slaves building for OSX, Windows, linux, iOS and android and then also automatically deploying virtualised (where possible) test environments and running multiple tests against the artefacts then it gets a little more complex.
