We performed a comparison between AWS CodePipeline and Jenkins based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Build Automation solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."It's a perfect solution if you are just using AWS."
"I find performance to be the most valuable CodePipeline feature. It works perfectly and smoothly."
"In AWS, the Cloud DevOps is a managed service from CodeCommit and this has removed the need for a lot of manual steps."
"Code deployment is the best feature."
"The product is cost-effective and integrates well with the AWS environment."
"AWS CodePipeline offers multiple integrations and it has its own set of features in the area of code scanning and dynamic code testing."
"It helps develop CI/CD implementations with centralized management of code building, deployment, and version control."
"The integrations are good."
"We really appreciate that this solution is plug and play. When coding in the version control system, this product completes the build process automatically."
"Jenkins has built good plugins and has a good security platform."
"Jenkins optimizes the CI/CD process, enhances automation, and ensures efficiency and management of our build and deployment pipeline."
"A lot of support material exists via a single web search of exactly what you're looking for."
"We are using the open-source version and there is a lot of plugins and features that are available and it works on agents for free. In other solutions, it will cost extra to use them with the agent."
"This solution has helped us in automating the build and test process, reducing time."
"The most valuable features of Jenkins are the ease of use and the information about how to use the features is readily available on the internet. Additionally, with the solution, I can use other reporting tools, such as Flow."
"The automated elements are easy to use and you can put them into your server."
"The migration process from one source code to another needs improvement."
"AWS CodePipeline doesn't offer much room for customization."
"The tool does not provide automated features for evidence collection."
"There could be a possibility of deploying tag-based conditions for different environments using the same code base."
"The support team’s response time must be improved."
"If there are many dependancies involved in the setup, it may take a long time."
"In the next release, I would like to see fewer timeout errors."
"If you're talking about multi-cloud, you can't use it."
"There is no way for the cloud repositories to trigger Jenkins."
"The solution's UI can use a facelift and the logs can use more detailed information."
"Sometimes, random errors of metadata are not there, which causes delays. These are essentially gaps in the information being passed to the job."
"Jenkins could improve by allowing more scripting languages. We need to use Groovy scripting and it is difficult to debug and it is not ideal for creating file scripts. We tried to search for assistance but we did not find much help."
"We cannot change the ownership of any directory or file or any kind of directory."
"Jenkins needs a faster deployment process."
"It can be improved by including automated mobile reporting integrations."
"Jenkins can be improved, but it's difficult for me to explain. The initial setup could be more straightforward. If you connect Jenkins with bookings and lockouts, it can be challenging."
