We performed a comparison between AWS CodeBuild 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."It works seamlessly with AWS Elastic Container Registry (ECR)."
"The integration is a good feature."
"The integration is a good feature."
"The solution provides good integrations."
"The integration with other AWS services has streamlined our workflow."
"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."
"There are a large number of plugins available for integration with third party systems."
"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."
"This is a great integration tool and very powerful."
"Jenkins's open-based framework is very valuable."
"I love Jenkins. I like that you work on anything, and you make anything. Jenkins is very important for my team. I am satisfied with the product."
"Has enabled full automation of the company."
"The most valuable feature is its ability to connect with different tools and technologies."
"While working on building images for multiple applications within a single script, I encountered an issue where looping functionality was not supported as expected."
"There is no persistent storage or preservation of workspace between the builds."
"They can further improve the integration of the Bitbucket for CodeBuild."
"The deployment fails sometimes."
"They need to improve their documentation."
"I sometimes face a bottleneck when installing the plugins on an offline machine. Mapping the dependencies and then installing the correct sequence of dependencies is a nightmare, and it took me two days to do it."
"This solution could be improved by removing the storage of unnecessary data such as the history of test deployments that were unsuccessful."
"There are a lot of things that they can try to improvise. They can reduce a lot of configurations. It is currently supporting Groovy for scripting. It would be really good if it can be improvised for Python because, for most of the automation, we have Python as a script. It would be good if can also support Python. We have a lot of Android builds. These Android builds can be a part of Jenkins. It can have some plug-ins or configurations for Android builds. There should also be some internal matrix to check the performance. We also want to have more REST API support, which is currently not much in Jenkins. We are not able to get more information about running Jenkins. More REST API support should be provided."
"Jenkins should adopt the Pipeline as Code approach by building a deployment pipeline using the Jenkins file."
"The product should provide more visualization as to how many pipelines are performing and how many builds are happening. It should also integrate with Kubernetes and OpenShift."
"Jenkins is an old product, and we encounter performance issues and slow response. Also, some of the plugins are not stable."
"Sometimes you have Jenkins restarting because of OOM errors."
