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 integration with other applications is fabulous."
"The product is cost-effective and integrates well with the AWS environment."
"It helps develop CI/CD implementations with centralized management of code building, deployment, and version control."
"The product is a one-stop solution that you can use to integrate, deploy and host your application."
"Code deployment is the best feature."
"AWS CodePipeline has valuable integration features."
"I find performance to be the most valuable CodePipeline feature. It works perfectly and smoothly."
"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 like the business logs. It's a very useful tool. Client-server communication is also very fast."
"The most valuable aspect of this solution is that there are multiple features. We can abstract certain variables and then build our deployment routine while being able to do some abstraction onto the SSH connections."
"The most valuable features of Jenkins are the integration with GitHub, and the automation for deployment."
"This solution has helped us in automating the build and test process, reducing time."
"It has a lot of community posts and support."
"Has a good interface, is reliable and saves time."
"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."
"The auto-schedule feature is valuable. Another valuable feature is that Jenkins does not trigger a build when there is no change in any of the systems. Jenkins also supports most of the open-source plug-ins."
"The setup time is a bit long."
"In the next release, I would like to see fewer timeout errors."
"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."
"If you're talking about multi-cloud, you can't use it."
"The product’s pricing needs improvement."
"AWS CodePipeline doesn't offer much room for customization."
"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."
"This solution could be improved by removing the storage of unnecessary data such as the history of test deployments that were unsuccessful."
"The documentation could be more friendly, and more examples of how to use it."
"There is no way for the cloud repositories to trigger Jenkins."
"Performance-wise. This needs to be improved. Not only performance-wise, some functionality or some features can be added to Jenkins."
"The onboarding of Jenkins should be smoother, and it should have more pipelines available as it's deployed on many different servers."
"It could be cheaper."
"I would like to see even more integrations included in the next release."
"Upgrading and maintaining plugins can be painful, as sometimes upgrading a plugin can break functionality of another plugin that a job is dependent on."
