Featured Reviews

Vijay Londhe - PeerSpot reviewer
Assistant Programmer at Mahadis
Enables centralized code management but lacks modern CI/CD integrations
There is room for improvement in Apache Subversion, especially when comparing it with other version control systems such as GitHub or GitLab, where many improvements could be made. Improvements I would like to see in Apache Subversion include configurations, customizations, and functionalities such as those provided by GitHub Actions for immediate pipeline triggers, as well as the version controlling and CI/CD platform offered by GitLab. In future updates of Apache Subversion, I would like to see CI/CD integrations as well as build and deployment servers. The lack of latest features includes basic requirements such as pull requests, CI/CD platform integration, and artifact storage such as GitHub packages, which it does not offer.
Andrea-Carella - PeerSpot reviewer
DevOps Engineer at Sorint
Has improved repository management through policy customization but needs better integration with external tools
AWS CodeCommit is a good product to use when you also have to use CodePipeline because it is all integrated in the same system, which is beneficial. However, the integration with other code pipeline tools outside the AWS world is uncertain, as there has been no experience with that integration. The number of users for AWS CodeCommit is generally less compared to other version control systems. To improve the adoption of AWS CodeCommit with respect to others that are more used in the market, something would need to be done to increase market share, as people are often more educated to use GitLab or GitHub. AWS CodeCommit is quite easy to learn in general, but competitors have a bigger market share in this particular area for many reasons.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"I find the strong point of Apache Subversion to be that it is a centralized version control system, allowing us to keep our code repositories at a central server."
"We have developed automation to speed up common repetitive processes."
"Apache Subversion is a scalable solution."
"The ease of installation, configuration, and user friendliness."
"As an open source solution it's very effective, will be very useful for individual and for small teams."
"AWS CodeCommit is simple and cheap."
"AWS CodeCommit has the usual version control features, and it integrates with AWS CodeGuru for code reviews."
"AWS CodeCommit's user interface is nice, and it's easy for people to pick up."
"What I find best about AWS CodeCommit is its seamless integration with the AWS ecosystem."
"It helps us to install our code idea projects."
"The solution is quite scalable."
"The most valuable features of AWS CodeCommit include the least privilege access from IAM, where permissions are granted only for the specific repository the developer is working on, which allows for hundreds of repositories with controlled access per project."
"AWS CodeCommit is highly user-friendly."
 

Cons

"The most valuable feature is CLI."
"Its handling of complex merging needs work."
"It's easy, cost effective but not a enterprise tool therefore the community has to work with that direction."
"Apache Subversion should be easier to use."
"The lack of latest features includes basic requirements such as pull requests, CI/CD platform integration, and artifact storage such as GitHub packages, which it does not offer."
"There is room for improvement in how AWS CodeCommit handles mass changes, like Fortran, which is designed to make these alterations in a friendly manner across AWS requirements."
"The number of users for AWS CodeCommit is generally less compared to other version control systems."
"Although CodeCommit's user interface is good, it can be improved when compared to other version controls like GitHub, GitLab, or Bitbucket."
"There are some options in Bitbucket that are not available in AWS CodeCommit. For example, code reviewer. We can't add a code reviewer in AWS CodeCommit, and we can't fork the repository online. These are the two things that Bitbucket has, but the solution doesn't have. Also, Jira has a debugging option that AWS CodeCommit doesn't have. Another thing is that Bitbucket charges three dollars per month per user. Compared with AWS CodeCommit, that only charges one dollar per month. So, AWS CodeCommit is cheaper than Bitbucket. But it does not have enough features that Bitbucket has. Additionally, it will be good if you upload one video or documentation on how to use AWS CodeCommit for beginners. That will be more helpful. There you can add more details about pricing. There are not many details about pricing. Bitbucket has a table where they have mentioned everything in detail, like, what features for how much price, how much longer you can use and how many users can use."
"The Git interfaces in AWS CodeCommit definitely need work. When we migrated our payment processing system at Huntington, we found the web UI to be basic compared to GitHub and GitLab."
"The solution could be more user-friendly and cheaper."
"Migration in and out of CodeCommit should be improved."
"There is room for improvement in Insight Analytics."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The tool's price is good."
"AWS CodeCommit is competitively priced against all the other competitors."
"The solution is expensive."
"As for pricing, you can add the table in detail. You can visit Bitbucket or refer to any other tools. There, you can see what is the difference between your pricing and other prices. You have only mentioned it in a single line. Other tools have been mentioned in a table format, like, how many users, premium, normal accounts, and other things."
