Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"In AWS, the Cloud DevOps is a managed service from CodeCommit and this has removed the need for a lot of manual steps.""The product is cost-effective and integrates well with the AWS environment.""The product is a one-stop solution that you can use to integrate, deploy and host your application.""It's a perfect solution if you are just using AWS.""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.""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.""Code deployment is the best feature."

Cons
"There could be a possibility of deploying tag-based conditions for different environments using the same code base.""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 migration process from one source code to another needs improvement.""AWS CodePipeline doesn't offer much room for customization.""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.""If there are many dependancies involved in the setup, it may take a long time.""In the next release, I would like to see fewer timeout errors.""The setup time is a bit long."
