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."AWS CodePipeline has valuable integration features."
"Code deployment is the best feature."
"It helps develop CI/CD implementations with centralized management of code building, deployment, and version control."
"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."
"The product is a one-stop solution that you can use to integrate, deploy and host your application."
"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."
"The product is cost-effective and integrates well with the AWS environment."
"Jenkins is very easy to use."
"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."
"Having builds and test tasks triggered on commit helps not to break the product."
"Jenkins allows us to automate deployment, so I no longer have to do it manually. That's the primary use case. The other advantage of Jenkins is that it's open source. It was free for me to download and install. It's a product that's been in use for many years, so I can find a lot of support online for any issues that I may encounter while configuring anything for a given use case."
"The solution is scalable and has a large number of plugins that can help you scale it to your needs."
"Jenkins is stable, user-friendly, and helps with continuous integration. As of today, I can't see any tool that's better than Jenkins."
"Jenkins has excellent task planning features."
"Jenkins is very user-friendly."
"The migration process from one source code to another needs improvement."
"The setup time is a bit long."
"The tool does not provide automated features for evidence collection."
"AWS CodePipeline functions well, but there's room for improvement in providing technical support to regular customers who haven't purchased developer support. I mean, having it available for everyone, even if it's not a 24-hour service. It would be more useful if specific support hours were available for assistance."
"The product’s pricing needs improvement."
"In the next release, I would like to see fewer timeout errors."
"The support team’s response time must be improved."
"If there are many dependancies involved in the setup, it may take a long time."
"Jenkins can improve by continuing to add additional plugins for all the new solutions that are coming out within the cloud sphere."
"It can be improved by including automated mobile reporting integrations."
"Jenkins could improve the integration with other platforms."
"The documentation is not helpful, as it is not user-friendly."
"Improvement-wise, I would want the solution's user interface to be changed for the better. In short, the solution can be made more user-friendly."
"The UI must be more user-friendly."
"Sometimes you have Jenkins restarting because of OOM errors."
"The documentation could be more friendly, and more examples of how to use it."
