Considered Both Products	CloudBees Codeship Ramindu Deshapriya Lead Consultant - Technology Chose CloudBees Codeship Codeship is easier to use than Jenkins because it does not require you to set up your own server, and it provides a large amount of out-of-the-box integrations for version control systems and cloud environments. AWS CodePipeline is native to AWS and cannot deploy applications … Incentivized Helpful? Alex Lada Senior Web Developer Chose CloudBees Codeship Codeship has been easier for our devops team to work with as far as making delivery plans and build scripts. Anecdotally, it has been more stable over time, cutting down on time investigating why some random part of the delivery process has broken. I am not sure why this is, … Incentivized Helpful? Kariem Hussein CTO Chose CloudBees Codeship We have been using Codeship for a few years, and what we like is that it's very clear what is built and when. We usually only have one-liners for any configuration option (build, test, deploy) and this way all changes to the build are managed in the version control system and … Incentivized Helpful? Maxim Milovanov Senior Software Engineer Chose CloudBees Codeship Our company uses Jenkins for all internal deployment processes for one very important reason - it's hosted internally. But Codeship is great for personal use - it has intuitive UI, easy setup and tons of integrations. Incentivized Helpful? Claudio Fernando Maciel Sr. Software Developer Chose CloudBees Codeship Back in those days, we didn't know about Gitlab, and Bitbucket didn't provide a CI pipeline. Jenkins is just too much for the simple tasks we wanted to achieve, besides, we didn't have a dedicated server for the sole purpose of having our code pipelined though continuous … Incentivized Helpful?	GNU Make Jonathan Yu Transmission Planning Software Engineer Chose GNU Make I'm a full-stack developer that has used various build tools, including Maven, Gradle, and NPM/yarn. For our C projects, I also investigated CMake and Ninja, but they seemed more difficult to learn and more tedious to work with. GNU Make is a single binary that can be easily … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose GNU Make A lot of existing projects we had been running are based on GNU Make, it does not make sense to move away from that. To build on top of those, GNU Make had been used. A lot of experienced engineers in the team are already familiar with the GNU Make syntax and structure and no … Incentivized Helpful?

User Testimonials
	CloudBees Codeship	GNU Make
Likelihood to Recommend	Codeship is very well suited to teams that have specialized devops members along with other specialized developers. It lets the other developers focus on what they do best, without having to learn another technology stack. This has cut down on a lot of headaches at our company with developers needing to deploy code to various different hosting services across different content management systems. The experience to push code is essentially the same for a developer no matter what the underlying technology is Incentivized Alex Lada Senior Web Developer Read full review	Makefiles are machine-readable documentation that make your workflow reproducible. If the build process is a very continuous flow of operations within scope, it will do it well and also act as a documentation of all the dependence. For some long-term projects, Make has been used extensively and being maintained to do the job. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Pros	Easy and fast deployment A lot of tool integrations (Slack, GitHub, Bitbucket, GitLab) Getting tests to run is fast and easy Incentivized Maxim Milovanov Senior Software Engineer Read full review	Performance and accuracy of cross-module dependencies. Simple to write and easy to understand. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Cons	UX: The overall UX is not bad, but it still needs a lot of improvement. It took me quite a while to realize that in order to switch projects I needed to press my current project name so a dropdown would appear. Integration with bitbucket is somewhat hidden from the users's hands. Got to make some improvements there. Incentivized Claudio Fernando Maciel Sr. Software Developer Read full review	No dependency management tools (but there are no cross-platform tools of this type anyway) Tedious to do cross-compilation (Debug & Release builds, 32- and 64-bit builds, x86/ARM builds) Incentivized Jonathan Yu Transmission Planning Software Engineer Read full review
Support Rating	No answers on this topic	In general, it is fair to say the support is sufficient although we do not deal with support directly. There are a lot of forum people chiming in with suggestions or recommendations of particular usage or issues we run into. Since it is open software, patch and fixes will be available from time to time. A lot of information is available in the web now for knowing GNU Make from learning, example, teaching, etc. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Alternatives Considered	Codeship is easier to use than Jenkins because it does not require you to set up your own server, and it provides a large amount of out-of-the-box integrations for version control systems and cloud environments. AWS CodePipeline is native to AWS and cannot deploy applications reliably to other cloud environments such as GCP or Azure. Incentivized Ramindu Deshapriya Lead Consultant - Technology Read full review	I'm a full-stack developer that has used various build tools, including Maven, Gradle, and NPM/yarn. For our C projects, I also investigated CMake and Ninja, but they seemed more difficult to learn and more tedious to work with. GNU Make is a single binary that can be easily downloaded, even for Windows under MingW32, is straightforward to learn, and works pretty well despite its age.

Return on Investment	We have a few small projects with different developers and Codeship shows everyone clearly, if something work, or if it doesn't. In one small project with a team of three developers, we have configured two builds and it takes 2-5 minutes for everyone on the team to push changes to an infrastructure handling a little over 3M users.
