We performed a comparison between AWS CodePipeline and CircleCI 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."In AWS, the Cloud DevOps is a managed service from CodeCommit and this has removed the need for a lot of manual steps."
"I find performance to be the most valuable CodePipeline feature. It works perfectly and smoothly."
"AWS CodePipeline has valuable integration features."
"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."
"Code deployment is the best feature."
"The tool's recent version helps us to run pipelines in parallel. The integration with other AWS services has greatly impacted our use of AWS CodePipeline. It made tasks such as integrating with Jira and provisioning instances much easier."
"It's a perfect solution if you are just using AWS."
"It's a stable product."
"The ability to automate the build process in a seamless way and run workflows effortlessly. It supports parallel builds so it can scale well. Also, it covers the basics of any build and integration tool, including email notifications (especially when tests are fixed), project insights, etc."
"The automation workflow in CircleCI related to third-party applications is very good and allows standardization of applications."
"The solution offers continuous integration and continuous delivery."
"Enables us to detect exactly which build failed and why, and to push multiple builds to our production environment at a very fast rate."
"Some of the most valuable features include container-based builds, integration with Bit Bucket and being able to store artifacts."
"The migration process from one source code to another needs improvement."
"The product’s pricing needs improvement."
"AWS CodePipeline doesn't offer much room for customization."
"The support team’s response time must be improved."
"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 setup time is a bit long."
"If there are many dependancies involved in the setup, it may take a long time."
"There could be a possibility of deploying tag-based conditions for different environments using the same code base."
"Integration with Microsoft Azure is one area for improvement. Azure is growing in its user base, and supports various cloud infrastructure components such as Service Fabric, App Service, etc. Some of Azure’s deployment models (like Kudu) require a steep learning curve, but if CircleCI would come up with such features (deployment to App Service) out of the box, it would be amazing."
"Billing is a mess."
"The solution’s pricing could be better."
"There needs to be some improvement in the user interface of CircleCI."
