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."AWS CodePipeline has valuable integration features."
"The product is a one-stop solution that you can use to integrate, deploy and host your application."
"The integrations are good."
"It helps develop CI/CD implementations with centralized management of code building, deployment, and version control."
"The most valuable feature of AWS CodePipeline is the flexibility of the configuration."
"The product is cost-effective and integrates well with the AWS environment."
"The integration with other applications is fabulous."
"Code deployment is the best feature."
"The most valuable feature of Jenkins is its continuous deployment. We can deploy to multi-cluster and multi-regions in the cloud."
"There are a large number of plugins available for integration with third party systems."
"Jenkins is very user-friendly."
"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."
"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 initial setup is pretty simple."
"Continuous Integration. Jenkins can integrate with almost any systems used for application development and testing, with its plugins."
"Distributed execution of build and test jobs."
"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."
"There could be a possibility of deploying tag-based conditions for different environments using the same code base."
"If you're talking about multi-cloud, you can't use it."
"The product’s pricing needs improvement."
"The migration process from one source code to another needs improvement."
"The setup time is a bit long."
"In the next release, I would like to see fewer timeout errors."
"AWS CodePipeline doesn't offer much room for customization."
"I think an integrated help button, that respected the context of the change/work in hand, would be a worthwhile improvement."
"The enterprise version is less stable than the open-source version."
"Support should be provided at no cost, as there is no free support available for any of the free versions."
"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 needs a faster deployment process."
"The solution could improve by having more advanced integrations."
"Logging could be improved to offer a clearer view."
"It would be helpful if they had a bit more interactive UI."
