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."The integration with other AWS services has streamlined our workflow."
"It works seamlessly with AWS Elastic Container Registry (ECR)."
"The solution provides good integrations."
"The integration is a good feature."
"The integration is a good feature."
"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."
"Different types of jobs, such as Pipeline, Build, Freestyle, Maven, etc."
"GitHub linking is pretty good. We have a deployment application where we can run our tests and add various variables to be passed as assertions to those tests. This is pretty fluid with Jenkins."
"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 features of Jenkins are the integration of automatic scripts for testing and the user's ability to use any script."
"The simplicity of Jenkins and the evolving ecosystem of Jenkins are most valuable. Today, you do not have to write a pipeline from scratch. The library functionality of Jenkins helps you to bring all those in ready-made, and you also get the best practices for them. That is a great feature of Jenkins, and that is why it is being used significantly."
"For business needs, Jenkins is the most relevant choice because it can be self-hosted, the price is good, it’s robust, and requires almost no effort for maintenance."
"The initial setup is pretty simple."
"There is no persistent storage or preservation of workspace between the builds."
"The deployment fails sometimes."
"They can further improve the integration of the Bitbucket for CodeBuild."
"While working on building images for multiple applications within a single script, I encountered an issue where looping functionality was not supported as expected."
"Jenkins could simplify the user interface a little bit because it sometimes creates too many features cramped in the UI."
"And I don't care too much for the Jenkins user interface. It's not that user-friendly compared to other solutions available right now. It's not a great user experience. You can do just fine if you are a techie, but it would take a novice some time to learn it and get things done."
"Developer documentation for plugins, plugin development, integrations: Sometimes it’s tricky to do pretty obvious things."
"We need more licensed product integrations."
"Sometimes, random errors of metadata are not there, which causes delays. These are essentially gaps in the information being passed to the job."
"Some kind of SaaS product would be helpful in providing organizational structure."
"In our case, we have several products built using Jenkins. It is quite difficult to navigate into the latest stable build in a given OS."
"Jenkins is an old product, and we encounter performance issues and slow response. Also, some of the plugins are not stable."
