"All features are useful. Our customer doesn't have any complaints about the tool. It works pretty well for what they want and what they need to do."
"The tool does not provide automated features for evidence collection."
"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 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."
"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."
"In the next release, I would like to see fewer timeout errors."
"The setup time is a bit long."
"If there are many dependancies involved in the setup, it may take a long time."
"AWS CodePipeline doesn't offer much room for customization."
"Its logging can be improved. When something goes wrong, it is not always very easy to find the problem. It is hard to identify whether the problem is because of low memory in the server or some configuration in Rational Build Forge. The error logs are not very detailed, and they should provide more information. It should also have more integration with third-party tools. It would be great to have more integration with third-party tools."
"Not user friendly for the layman."
