We performed a comparison between AWS CodeDeploy 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."It's just like every other AWS resource I use. It gets the job done."
"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."
"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's initial setup phase is easy."
"The product is easy to use."
"You can easily integrate AWS CodeDeploy with multiple services."
"The most valuable feature is the ease of use and performance."
"It is good for the purpose it is designed for. It is good for maintaining a repository of application code, creating pipelines for deploying the code, building the code, and deploying the code. It can be easily used by developers. There are no issues."
"The most valuable aspect of Azure DevOps for me is its robust version control functionality, which is critical for our workflow."
"It's a great product for the CI/CD process."
"It is a cloud-based system. So, it is stable and scalable."
"It is good for monitoring purposes. We are using the build pipelines of Microsoft Azure. They are also valuable."
"I like the entire tool because it is a one-stop-solution for DevOps."
"The automated bill feature is most valuable. As with most software developers, I can build code on my machine, but if one of my coworkers can't build the same code on theirs, there are always issues in trying to track it down. The automated bill process makes it a lot easier to track down where the issues are and find out what bugs aren't being included for whatever reason."
"Deployment and stability should be improved."
"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."
"I faced some stability issues."
"AWS should provide its own templates in the console so that I don't need to go anywhere else to get the template for AWS CodeDeploy or AWS CodeBuild."
"We have faced some issues and bugs along the way when it comes to stability."
"As for room for improvement, more features need to be added to the classic pipeline. The build and release pipelines are present, but there has not been much improvement there."
"Proper Gantt charting should be a feature that is included because as it is now, we have to create it ourselves."
"It's too technical sometimes because it's meant for network developers. The CI/CD pipelines are not very easy to manage because it requires a lot of input. So it could be easier to manage."
"Compared to JIRA, I think Azure DevOps is missing some management elements, like some reporting features. It would be helpful if some things were clearer when we're adding attributes. For instance, sometimes we want to add some categories or attributes, and it's not so easy."
"I would like to see more customization available to the administrator."
"Incorporating security tools directly into DevOps is crucial, as many existing DevOps solutions lack robust security features."
"There are some areas that need improvement such as tracking."
"The test management section needs to be improved."
