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."The integrations are good."
"I find performance to be the most valuable CodePipeline feature. It works perfectly and smoothly."
"Code deployment is the best feature."
"The product is cost-effective and integrates well with the AWS environment."
"The product is a one-stop solution that you can use to integrate, deploy and host your application."
"AWS CodePipeline has valuable integration features."
"The integration with other applications is fabulous."
"The most valuable feature of AWS CodePipeline is the flexibility of the configuration."
"The simplicity of Jenkins and the evolving ecosystem of Jenkins are most valuable. Today, you do not have to write a pipeline from scratch. The library functionality of Jenkins helps you to bring all those in ready-made, and you also get the best practices for them. That is a great feature of Jenkins, and that is why it is being used significantly."
"The solution is scalable and concurrent users have access to the platform."
"Jenkins has been instrumental in automating our build and deployment processes."
"The initial setup is pretty simple."
"We use Jenkins to automatically build Python binaries into several OS's i.e. OS X, Ubuntu, Windows 32-bit and Windows 64-bit."
"I am not aware of the available options in the market right now compared to Jenkins, but I am pretty much happy with the service that Jenkins is providing our company."
"It's very useful when you want to automate different processes from beginning to end."
"For business needs, Jenkins is the most relevant choice because it can be self-hosted, the price is good, it’s robust, and requires almost no effort for maintenance."
"It would be a much better tool if it could be made compatible with other cloud services as well since this is an area the product currently lacks."
"The tool does not provide automated features for evidence collection."
"The support team’s response time must be improved."
"The solution could improve the documentation. Sometimes we have some issues with the documentation not updating after releasing .NET 6. We had some issues with building the code pipeline, and it was not updating the documentation. It's better to update the code documentation."
"In the next release, I would like to see fewer timeout errors."
"The setup time is a bit long."
"There could be a possibility of deploying tag-based conditions for different environments using the same code base."
"The migration process from one source code to another needs improvement."
"I would like to have an integrated dashboard on top of it and a better UX to look at. The dashboard could be better in terms of integration with other tools. We should be able to have a single pane of glass across all the tools that we use where Jenkins is the pipeline. This can be a very good upgrade to it."
"Jenkins relies on the old version of interface for configuration management. This needs improvement."
"The documentation could be more friendly, and more examples of how to use it."
"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."
"The solution could improve by having more advanced integrations."
"The learning curve is quite steep at the moment."
"Logging could be improved to offer a clearer view."
"Sometimes, random errors of metadata are not there, which causes delays. These are essentially gaps in the information being passed to the job."
