We performed a comparison between AWS CodeDeploy and Microsoft Azure DevOps based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, GitLab, Red Hat and others in Release Automation."AWS CodeDeploy operates on an on-demand basis. This means that you only pay for the exact duration of the deployment process. Whether it takes one minute, two minutes, or even longer, you're only charged for the time it takes to complete the deployment. You're not locked into paying for dedicated servers."
"The product is easy to use."
"I found the default settings of AWS CodeDeploy to be highly beneficial for my deployment workflows. For instance, when deploying a Node.js application, I manually installed the necessary components on my AWS instance, such as the web server required by developers. Then, I created deployment scripts for starting and stopping instances and performing the deployment itself. These scripts were stored alongside my code in GitHub, ensuring they executed seamlessly with the CI/CD pipeline. Since the project wasn't overly complex, I opted for the default settings, which proved to be efficient and straightforward for deployment."
"It is very flexible."
"The product's initial setup phase is easy."
"It's just like every other AWS resource I use. It gets the job done."
"It is possible to add third-party extensions to increase the usability of the product."
"If someone is considering developing and deploying the infrastructure in this solution, then using this tool is perfect because it's fully integrated with the pipelines and with a server core repository."
"It's graphical representation and tools are easy to use."
"Azure Port is considered the most valuable feature."
"You get a complete solution with Azure DevOps. You can do everything in one place, starting from requirement gathering until you release the product. It is a reliable, scalable, and handy product."
"The extensibility of the work item forms and customizations as well as the backend API to query the data, et cetera, and manipulate the data programmatically are all very valuable aspects of the product."
"Before using this solution, we had to deploy our applications, from pre-production to production, manually."
"It is stable. I like Azure a lot. All our guys are Microsoft certified."
"AWS CodeDeploy doesn't provide multiple plugins like Jenkins, which is a shortcoming where improvements are required."
"Improvements could be made to AWS CodeDeploy in terms of its agent's compatibility across different operating systems. Currently, there are instances where the agent may not work seamlessly with certain integrations, leading to issues with registering protocols on authorized servers."
"Deployment and stability should be improved."
"We have faced some issues and bugs along the way when it comes to stability."
"I faced some stability issues."
"The ability to integrate Microsoft Azure DevOps with other platforms and Microsoft products can be improved."
"The solution's roadmap and Gantt charts could be improved."
"Its price can also be reduced. It would be great if they are a little bit more competitive in terms of pricing because many open-source products are currently available in the market."
"The ability to extend work items was more flexible than it is now. Talking version control, one of our customers had some issues because they found it very difficult to manage more than 1000 repositories for one team project."
"I think that they have some menus there that are not very well placed."
"I would like to see more customization available to the administrator."
"The functions have too much dependency right now, so it makes it really, really hard to upgrade and make a change in the code."
"I have not been able to use the integration with automation features, such as test management automation, with a framework that is written in Java."
