We performed a comparison between AWS CodePipeline and CircleCI 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 most valuable feature of AWS CodePipeline is the flexibility of the configuration."
"I find performance to be the most valuable CodePipeline feature. It works perfectly and smoothly."
"AWS CodePipeline offers multiple integrations and it has its own set of features in the area of code scanning and dynamic code testing."
"It helps develop CI/CD implementations with centralized management of code building, deployment, and version control."
"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."
"In AWS, the Cloud DevOps is a managed service from CodeCommit and this has removed the need for a lot of manual steps."
"Some of the most valuable features include container-based builds, integration with Bit Bucket and being able to store artifacts."
"It's a stable product."
"Enables us to detect exactly which build failed and why, and to push multiple builds to our production environment at a very fast rate."
"The solution offers continuous integration and continuous delivery."
"The automation workflow in CircleCI related to third-party applications is very good and allows standardization of applications."
"The ability to automate the build process in a seamless way and run workflows effortlessly. It supports parallel builds so it can scale well. Also, it covers the basics of any build and integration tool, including email notifications (especially when tests are fixed), project insights, etc."
"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."
"AWS CodePipeline doesn't offer much room for customization."
"The tool does not provide automated features for evidence collection."
"If there are many dependancies involved in the setup, it may take a long time."
"The support team’s response time must be improved."
"The solution could improve the documentation. Sometimes we have some issues with the documentation not updating after releasing .NET 6. We had some issues with building the code pipeline, and it was not updating the documentation. It's better to update the code documentation."
"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."
"Billing is a mess."
"Integration with Microsoft Azure is one area for improvement. Azure is growing in its user base, and supports various cloud infrastructure components such as Service Fabric, App Service, etc. Some of Azure’s deployment models (like Kudu) require a steep learning curve, but if CircleCI would come up with such features (deployment to App Service) out of the box, it would be amazing."
"The solution’s pricing could be better."
"There needs to be some improvement in the user interface of CircleCI."
