We performed a comparison between AWS CodePipeline and GitHub Actions 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 product is cost-effective and integrates well with the AWS environment."
"AWS CodePipeline has valuable integration features."
"The product is a one-stop solution that you can use to integrate, deploy and host your application."
"AWS CodePipeline offers multiple integrations and it has its own set of features in the area of code scanning and dynamic code testing."
"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."
"The integrations are good."
"Creating workflows in YAML format is straightforward and easy to comprehend. This includes both understanding and writing workflows. Additionally, the downloading aspect for third-party instances can also be easily done. It's worth noting that vulnerability analysis and similar tasks should be part of our automation through data workflows. Furthermore, we can break down our processes step by step, starting from building, then moving on to analysis, testing, and finally deploying in production and the clear environment. All of these tasks can be efficiently managed within this platform."
"I have optimized job execution time by running test scripts in parallel and creating multiple pipelines; we've significantly reduced execution times. What could take 50 minutes can be cut down to just 8 to 10 minutes through these optimizations."
"The level of automation achievable is really good. So, the custom workflow creation and Marketplace Actions improved our project's efficiency."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is that it is a good product that offers stability and performance."
"It offers numerous built-in features for pipeline management, release management, and even work item tracking on boards, which makes it a versatile tool that seamlessly integrates with hardware and facilitates optimization."
"The main benefit is collaboration. It allows us to easily collaborate with other developers, regardless of location. For example, we can collaborate with both our African and German colleagues seamlessly. It's platform-agnostic, so it is flexible and not tied to any OS, so we can work on Linux, Windows, web, and even Oracle applications. It's flexible, reliable, and overall an excellent tool for our needs."
"The tool does not provide automated features for evidence collection."
"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."
"There could be a possibility of deploying tag-based conditions for different environments using the same code base."
"The product’s pricing needs improvement."
"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 support team’s response time must be improved."
"If there are many dependancies involved in the setup, it may take a long time."
"There is a part that detects outdated libraries. If that feature could be more intuitive and informative, that would be nice."
"The reporting capabilities are somewhat limited."
"We can leverage this database tool to manage everything within our environment and data burners, allowing for customization and execution. An additional advantage is the capability to modify aspects like file size, making processes more efficient and faster across the pipelines. Regarding improvements or implementations, I believe there should be enhancements made to the deployment tool. It should be integrated as part of the solution. Infrastructure-wise, we already have tools like GitHub and RobSpot, and data enables us to automate various processes, which is quite beneficial. As for further enhancements, I'm uncertain. I've shared everything I know. However, if there's something specific you'd like to see in future releases, a feature that may not exist yet but would be desirable, I can't provide any input on that matter."
"The UI could be better."
"The solution's integration capabilities and UI are areas of concern where improvement is required to make the product more user-friendly."
"The primary area for improvement I see is in artifact management, especially for saving screenshots or videos from failed tests or data-driven actions. Currently, the configuration for saving these artifacts is complex."
