    Getting the code from Git Hub, uploading it to the repository, making changes, and deploying it to a specific environment makes AWS tremendous and easy to work with. Once you know how to do it, it is easy to replicate. On the other hand, if you are new, it gets confusing, and you need guidance on the steps to take not to compromise the application.

    For large, complex software deployments that have a number of install scenarios and executables that interact with one another, EMCO MSI Builder is well-suited. It is able to track software installs, registry changes, file additions, and deletions, modifying shortcuts and anything else that would be needed to prepare big deployment projects for large organizations.

    Usability
    Amazon AWS
    Here is where AWS as a whole stepped up big. The UI is more intuitive and easy to use. The separation is clear, and the guides are abundant. They still need to create starter tutorials for newcomers so we don't lose much time learning/teaching others. Having someone with basic knowledge and examples where they can gain experience will make it better.

    Jenkins supports a lot of plugings. Also with Jenkins, it is possible to manage everything through our own server. Those are 2 points where I rate Jenkins as one of the best DevOps Tool

    EMCO Software
    Provides advanced functionality for the enterprise level software deployment analyst over and above the basic tools that Microsoft included with the original APP-v sequencing tool, allowing the analyst greater control over what is captured and how it is captured. This makes the impact of needing to change the deployment package easier to maintain and update
