# Best Build Automation Software - Page 5 *By [Adam Crivello](https://research.g2.com/insights/author/adam-crivello)* Build automation software automates commonly performed tasks in the software development process. Tasks tend to be simple and repeatable, and include things such as compiling source code or running automated tests. Build automation software often integrates with software testing products, version control systems, IDEs, bug tracking tools, and PaaS providers. To qualify for inclusion in the Build Automation category, a product must: - Automate repetitive tasks in the software development process, such as compiling code or running tests - Integrate with other development tools like version control systems, IDEs, or testing frameworks - Support the creation and management of build pipelines to streamline development workflows ## Top Build Automation Software at a Glance | # | Product | Rating | Best For | What Users Say | |---|---------|--------|----------|----------------| | 1 | [GitHub](https://www.g2.com/products/github/reviews) | 4.7/5.0 (2,306 reviews) | Repo-native CI/CD pipeline automation | "[Effortless Version Control and Collaboration with Fast, Reliable Workflows](https://www.g2.com/survey_responses/github-review-12814767)" | | 2 | [Postman](https://www.g2.com/products/postman/reviews) | 4.6/5.0 (1,745 reviews) | API test automation with CI/CD pipeline integration | "[Streamlining API Testing and Development](https://www.g2.com/survey_responses/postman-review-12958633)" | | 3 | [Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform](https://www.g2.com/products/red-hat-ansible-automation-platform/reviews) | 4.6/5.0 (369 reviews) | Agentless multi-environment build and deployment automation | "[Consistent, Scalable Automation That Boosts Stability and Efficiency](https://www.g2.com/survey_responses/red-hat-ansible-automation-platform-review-12121846)" | | 4 | [Bitrise Mobile DevOps Platform](https://www.g2.com/products/bitrise-mobile-devops-platform/reviews) | 4.8/5.0 (233 reviews) | Mobile-first CI/CD pipeline automation | "[Effortless Build Automation and Mobile Releases with OTA Updates](https://www.g2.com/survey_responses/bitrise-mobile-devops-platform-review-12991445)" | | 5 | [Google Cloud Build](https://www.g2.com/products/google-cloud-build/reviews) | 4.5/5.0 (61 reviews) | Serverless CI/CD pipelines inside GCP ecosystem | "[Google Cloud Build is the best serverless platform](https://www.g2.com/survey_responses/google-cloud-build-review-11964403)" | | 6 | [Jenkins](https://www.g2.com/products/jenkins/reviews) | 4.4/5.0 (555 reviews) | Plugin-extensible CI/CD pipeline automation | "[Easy Integrations, Solid Docs, and Highly Customizable Jenkins Pipelines](https://www.g2.com/survey_responses/jenkins-review-12878117)" | | 7 | [Control-M](https://www.g2.com/products/control-m/reviews) | 4.3/5.0 (159 reviews) | Cross-platform batch job dependency orchestration | "[Efficient Scheduling, Some Reporting Hiccups](https://www.g2.com/survey_responses/control-m-review-12963668)" | | 8 | [AWS CodeBuild](https://www.g2.com/products/aws-codebuild/reviews) | 4.2/5.0 (37 reviews) | AWS-native CI/CD pipeline build automation | "[Seamless AWS-Native CI/CD with Effortless Serverless Auto-Scaling](https://www.g2.com/survey_responses/aws-codebuild-review-12781839)" | | 9 | [Appcircle](https://www.g2.com/products/appcircle/reviews) | 4.9/5.0 (44 reviews) | Mobile-native iOS and Android build automation | "[Documentation and Support Make Advanced Pipeline Setup Straightforward](https://www.g2.com/survey_responses/appcircle-review-12761900)" | | 10 | [Azure DevOps Server](https://www.g2.com/products/azure-devops-server/reviews) | 4.2/5.0 (192 reviews) | End-to-end CI/CD with Visual Studio-native traceability | "[Centralized Development Tracking and Test and validation Planning with Azure Devops Server](https://www.g2.com/survey_responses/azure-devops-server-review-12601022)" | ## How Many Build Automation Software Products Does G2 Track? **Total Products under this Category:** 73 ### Category Stats (Jul 2026) - **Average Rating**: 4.39/5 The average rating of products in this category, based on all submitted ratings - **Top Trending Product**: BMC AMI Data (+0.53%) - Among all products in this category, BMC AMI Data recorded the largest rating increase compared to last month *Last updated: July 02, 2026* ## How Does G2 Rank Build Automation Software Products? **Why You Can Trust G2's Software Rankings:** - 30 Analysts and Data Experts - 9,200+ Authentic Reviews - 73+ Products - Unbiased Rankings G2's software rankings are built on verified user reviews, rigorous moderation, and a consistent research methodology maintained by a team of analysts and data experts.
