We performed a comparison between AWS CodeDeploy and Microsoft Azure DevOps based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, GitLab, Red Hat and others in Release Automation."It is very flexible."
"It's just like every other AWS resource I use. It gets the job done."
"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."
"You can easily integrate AWS CodeDeploy with multiple services."
"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 is good for the purpose it is designed for. It is good for maintaining a repository of application code, creating pipelines for deploying the code, building the code, and deploying the code. It can be easily used by developers. There are no issues."
"Microsoft Azure DevOps integrates well with other components, such as Synapse, which is a data warehouse tool of Azure. It is a framework platform for BI and integrated with other tools, such as Power BI."
"The most valuable aspect of Azure DevOps for me is its robust version control functionality, which is critical for our workflow."
"Most of the features are very valuable for us, especially the source code control and task management."
"The one thing that really stands out to me is how you can filter and how you can do your reporting and filter the tasks and everything by user."
"I like the entire tool because it is a one-stop-solution for DevOps."
"I really like the Microsoft DevOps survey."
"Typically the sprints themselves and managing the tasks have essentially eliminated our need for reporting."
"AWS CodeDeploy doesn't provide multiple plugins like Jenkins, which is a shortcoming where improvements are required."
"We have faced some issues and bugs along the way when it comes to stability."
"I faced some stability issues."
"Deployment and stability should be improved."
"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."
"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."
"As for room for improvement, more features need to be added to the classic pipeline. The build and release pipelines are present, but there has not been much improvement there."
"I would like to see more customization available to the administrator."
"The functions have too much dependency right now, so it makes it really, really hard to upgrade and make a change in the code."
"Reporting across multiple projects could be improved."
"Azure has not yet advanced to the performance level of the other major competitors and is missing integration with important technologies."
"There are some areas that need improvement such as tracking."
"I would like to see better interoperability with the agile scaling frameworks."
"If they could build up requirement traceability metrics, then it would be great."
