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 product is cost-effective and integrates well with the AWS environment."
"AWS CodePipeline offers multiple integrations and it has its own set of features in the area of code scanning and dynamic code testing."
"The most valuable feature of AWS CodePipeline is the flexibility of the configuration."
"It's a perfect solution if you are just using AWS."
"Code deployment is the best feature."
"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."
"The integration with other applications is fabulous."
"It helps develop CI/CD implementations with centralized management of code building, deployment, and version control."
"Jenkins optimizes the CI/CD process, enhances automation, and ensures efficiency and management of our build and deployment pipeline."
"We use Jenkins to automatically build Python binaries into several OS's i.e. OS X, Ubuntu, Windows 32-bit and Windows 64-bit."
"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."
"Jenkins has a lot of built-in packages and tools."
"I like the business logs. It's a very useful tool. Client-server communication is also very fast."
"This is a great integration tool and very powerful."
"Has enabled full automation of the company."
"Jenkins is stable, user-friendly, and helps with continuous integration. As of today, I can't see any tool that's better than Jenkins."
"The tool does not provide automated features for evidence collection."
"If you're talking about multi-cloud, you can't use it."
"The product’s pricing needs improvement."
"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 setup time is a bit long."
"The migration process from one source code to another needs improvement."
"The support team’s response time must be improved."
"Jenkins relies on the old version of interface for configuration management. This needs improvement."
"I would like to have an integrated dashboard on top of it and a better UX to look at. The dashboard could be better in terms of integration with other tools. We should be able to have a single pane of glass across all the tools that we use where Jenkins is the pipeline. This can be a very good upgrade to it."
"Improvement-wise, I would want the solution's user interface to be changed for the better. In short, the solution can be made more user-friendly."
"There are some difficulties when we need to execute the DB script."
"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."
"Its schedule builds need improvement. It should have scheduling features in the platform rather than using external plug-ins."
"Developer documentation for plugins, plugin development, integrations: Sometimes it’s tricky to do pretty obvious things."
"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."
