I don't have a lot of detail for you, unfortunately, but a team I managed a couple years back used Jenkins extensively for automation work. They viewed it as a way to do "crons with a gui". (that was a direct quote from the team member most responsible for the Jenkins system)
This team managed a very large infrastructure, and had a number of housekeeping jobs that needed to go check on various things throughout the servers they managed. They used Jenkins, but i imagine they could have used something else. Probably they adopted it because the dev org they worked with used Jenkins for build stuff.
