We performed a comparison between AWS Amplify and Microsoft Azure DevOps based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Release Automation solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The most valuable feature of AWS Amplify is authentication."
"The link with Figma is very nice. You can create your design in Figma, and then you can import it into AWS Amplify and use it. You can link it to your data source and data bindings."
"Typically, whenever we make changes and need to switch environments (e.g., dev to production), it's easy for our developers to maintain the state of each environment and make customizations as needed. They don't necessarily need to involve the cloud team for basic management."
"It's very user-friendly, and the documentation is good. The most valuable feature is backlog item creation, where we pick features and other things. The burndown chart created for projects to be maintained by the development teams is also useful."
"The creation of test plans is valuable and I like the reporting features."
"It has a good GUI, and it's very user-friendly."
"Microsoft has good integration with its other products, such as Office, Teams, et cetera."
"This is an all-in-one, one-stop shop, nothing comes close."
"The most valuable feature is automation with version control."
"Fields can be customized and the reporting is good."
"It's got something that you won't find in other products."
"AWS Amplify could improve in the deployment. It would be beneficial to have more methods, such as automation."
"Its capability to handle big projects needs to be improved. If you generate a user interface in Figma and import everything where all components are in one directory, currently, it is complicated. It isn't able to cope with that. For small projects, it is not an issue, but if you have big projects and you want to use AWS Amplify, then it gets more difficult. That is the most important point for me. It should be improved to cope better with bigger projects."
"AWS can implement multiple web applications, and cross-platform applications, like iOS."
"Azure has not yet advanced to the performance level of the other major competitors and is missing integration with important technologies."
"The active directory password system needs some improvement because many times the password for the active directory expires before the set time."
"I would like to see DevOps have the ability to give us something with a compatibility or traceability matrix."
"The UI, the user experience, is challenging for newcomers."
"The installation time of this solution depends on the environment it is being implemented in. We had a couple of projects that took around two weeks of implementation. This included the whole integration of the DevOps and everything together."
"Reporting across multiple projects could be improved."
"We would like some bidirectional synchronization. It's the requirement if you want to analyze it to software requirements, et cetera. That's something that most of the tools aren't that good at."
"They have to add more features such as schedules and more flexibility in the platform."
