In the context of introductory Electromagnetic theory, you can use Ampere's law when the symmetry of the problem permits i.e. when the magnetic field around an 'Amperian loop' is constant. eg: to find the magnetic field from infinite straight current carrying wire at some radial distance.
Biot-Savart law is the more brute force approach, you evaluate this integral when there is not enough symmetry to use Ampere's law. eg: to evaluate the magnetic field at some point along the axis of a current loop.
