We performed a comparison between AWS CodeDeploy and Microsoft Azure DevOps based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Release Automation solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."AWS CodeDeploy operates on an on-demand basis. This means that you only pay for the exact duration of the deployment process. Whether it takes one minute, two minutes, or even longer, you're only charged for the time it takes to complete the deployment. You're not locked into paying for dedicated servers."
"I found the default settings of AWS CodeDeploy to be highly beneficial for my deployment workflows. For instance, when deploying a Node.js application, I manually installed the necessary components on my AWS instance, such as the web server required by developers. Then, I created deployment scripts for starting and stopping instances and performing the deployment itself. These scripts were stored alongside my code in GitHub, ensuring they executed seamlessly with the CI/CD pipeline. Since the project wasn't overly complex, I opted for the default settings, which proved to be efficient and straightforward for deployment."
"The product's initial setup phase is easy."
"The product is easy to use."
"It's just like every other AWS resource I use. It gets the job done."
"It is very flexible."
"You can easily integrate AWS CodeDeploy with multiple services."
"What I like the most about this product is that it's free and it's secure."
"We can eliminate some of the middleman processes."
"Azure enables us to create a staging environment through to a production environment in an easier way and then get the code and run that."
"Provides us with user histories."
"Technical support has been excellent. On that side, Microsoft is very good. The customer support of Microsoft has really improved this past year. On the cloud side also we are very satisfied because it offers very good support."
"Great project management feature and Git-based repository."
"The most valuable feature in automating our build and release processes with Azure DevOps is the scheduling capability."
"The automated bill feature is most valuable. As with most software developers, I can build code on my machine, but if one of my coworkers can't build the same code on theirs, there are always issues in trying to track it down. The automated bill process makes it a lot easier to track down where the issues are and find out what bugs aren't being included for whatever reason."
"I faced some stability issues."
"Deployment and stability should be improved."
"Improvements could be made to AWS CodeDeploy in terms of its agent's compatibility across different operating systems. Currently, there are instances where the agent may not work seamlessly with certain integrations, leading to issues with registering protocols on authorized servers."
"We have faced some issues and bugs along the way when it comes to stability."
"AWS CodeDeploy doesn't provide multiple plugins like Jenkins, which is a shortcoming where improvements are required."
"AWS should provide its own templates in the console so that I don't need to go anywhere else to get the template for AWS CodeDeploy or AWS CodeBuild."
"I would like to see improvement in the metrics and the dependencies."
"The communication could work better, especially for the development team."
"There are some areas that need improvement such as tracking."
"There could more integration with other platforms."
"I think that they have some menus there that are not very well placed."
"They do very frequent releases, there's a complete change in UI kind of stuff. Sometimes it feels like they change it too often."
"Incorporating security tools directly into DevOps is crucial, as many existing DevOps solutions lack robust security features."
"The tutorials for building pipelines are an area that is a bit technical for a beginner."
