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 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 integration with other applications is fabulous."
"It's a perfect solution if you are just using AWS."
"The product is cost-effective and integrates well with the AWS environment."
"The integrations are good."
"I find performance to be the most valuable CodePipeline feature. It works perfectly and smoothly."
"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."
"Jenkins integrates with multiple tools like Bitbucket and makes life easier. We don't have to write a lot of code since a lot of libraries are available."
"A lot of support material exists via a single web search of exactly what you're looking for."
"It is a stable solution."
"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 a lot of built-in packages and tools."
"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."
"Automation of chores like deployment, frequent manual tasks (like running scripts on test and production systems) reduced the time used and the number of errors made by engineers, freeing them to do meaningful work instead."
"Jenkins can be used for elastic management, if you have any sensitive data or credentials you can use them across the environment. Additionally, the solution is easy to use and can be used across multiple use cases."
"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 product’s pricing needs improvement."
"The migration process from one source code to another needs improvement."
"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 tool does not provide automated features for evidence collection."
"The learning curve is quite steep at the moment."
"Jenkins can improve by continuing to add additional plugins for all the new solutions that are coming out within the cloud sphere."
"Jenkins is not an easy solution to use and the configuration is not simple. They can improve the solution by adding a graphical interface that is more user-friendly."
"The user interface could be updated a little."
"Jenkins relies on the old version of interface for configuration management. This needs improvement."
"Some kind of SaaS product would be helpful in providing organizational structure."
"Jenkins takes a long time to create archive files."
"The scriptwriting process could be improved in this solution in the future."
