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."The product's initial setup phase is easy."
"It's just like every other AWS resource I use. It gets the job done."
"It is very flexible."
"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."
"You can easily integrate AWS CodeDeploy with multiple services."
"The product is easy to use."
"I think the most usable thing is that you can follow the whole progress of the development process. This makes it very useful for us."
"It is a well-integrated product in terms of the development lifecycle."
"The solution is good for everything, including end-to-end planning and its deployment and testing."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is task management."
"Everything that's related to the pipeline has been very good."
"What I like most about Azure DevOps is how easy it is to manage projects and control deployments."
"We use all the DevOps features and services, like reports, Boards, Pipelines, Artifactory, etc. The interface is interactive and intuitive. The platform visuals and workflow are straightforward in Azure DevOps."
"The most valuable feature is automation with version control."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"The solution's roadmap and Gantt charts could be improved."
"While reporting in Azure DevOps is a robust capability, there's always room for enhancement, particularly in providing more granular reports."
"The only downside is that the deployment could be a little challenging but it is manageable."
"Project management could be improved."
"Its testing features are limited and can be improved a little more. They should provide more options from the testing and build perspective. Currently, we have to use a third-party product for testing. It would be great if it has more than one testing tool."
"When converting to DevOps, it was difficult to map."
"When we don't have some permissions, we have to research how to get them."
"I would like to automate notifications on sprint planning. When we are getting to the end of sprint planning, we would be automatically notified."
