We performed a comparison between Bamboo and Bitbucket based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about GitLab, Jenkins, Google and others in Build Automation."In Bamboo, build and deployment have been segregated. The build plan and deployment plan are different. When comparing Bamboo to other solutions, the native feature you will not find in another tool, such as Jenkins. They have segregated the build and deployment plan. This means, building the application and deploying it are two separate parts in Bamboo, they have segregated it apart from the UI. This makes the tool a bit better compared to other tools."
"It's one of the best solutions in this line of work. We have many Atlassian products. We use Bamboo, JIRA, Service Desk, and some other Atlassian plugins. We like that it's easy to integrate into each other. It's a suite of services."
"The most valuable features are compiling and deployment."
"The platform helps us with automated and timely backup. It provides data replication as well."
"The most valuable features of Bamboo are its performance and UI. Additionally, there are a lot of useful plugins, integration with other solutions, such as Bitbucket and Jira, and a helpful online community."
"Bamboo's integration with the rest of Atlassian's tech tools, like Jira, helps manage the end-to-end development and release process."
"Bamboo was used extensively in our organization for PCA compliance."
"One of the big things that made us choose Bamboo, is it seamlessly integrates its APIs into NetSuite, which is our main ELP system."
"The product's initial setup phase experience was good."
"It's straightforward to adapt to, with user-friendly features and a convenient UI."
"It seems to be quite scalable."
"Bitbucket has a pull request-based method, similar to Git's merge request feature."
"The product's most valuable feature is output backup."
"Bitbucket is significantly cheaper compared to GitHub and it provides on-premises hosting."
"The setup was okay, and it was well-integrated."
"We have a couple of different tools that allow us to tie source code changes to report bugs. It's integrated with a bug tracking system and also integrated with what requires a tracking system. So we have better facilities. We get with the command line and can type all that stuff in and get the same kind of trust, but when we d it all manually, it's not likely to happen."
"Bamboo can improve by providing more with scripting, such as they have with Jenkins. Bamboo is more UI-driven at this time, Jenkins is going in that direction too."
"Bamboo could improve by having compatibility with GitLab. It would be better to have this platform for deploying code and storing container registries. Bamboo does not have a container registry. Additionally, there could be more features added."
"The marketing strategy of Bamboo is an area of concern where improvements are needed."
"It's a little outdated. It's three years old."
"The performance around the deployment feature could be improved."
"Bamboo’s technical support services, in terms of speed of response, need improvement."
"It can be challenging for someone new to the system or ecosystem to grasp, making it difficult to train new people and help them understand."
"It would be great if Bamboo could introduce a more containerized deployment model."
"It goes well with other Atlassian solutions like Jira or Bamboo, but integration with other third-party solutions is more complex."
"Bitbucket's Initial setup is a little complicated because you need to install and configure the solution. It can take one or two days to deploy Bitbucket. If you have a high workload, you can deploy it on multiple server farms as needed"
"Bitbucket should consider having a CI/CD if they don’t have it already."
"One of the areas the solution could improve on is when there is a merging conflict it is quite confusing. When I am having a merging conflict I get stuck on the page, then I need to search how to handle the particular problem. For example, finding what the commands are which can be used."
"Bitbucket's usability and integration with other tools could be improved somewhat. My other issue is that Bitbucket, GitHub, GitLab, and all the other ones use slightly different jargon for the same things. They should come up with a standard language for all these tools."
"Bitbucket should integrate a static code analyzer."
"Bitbucket could improve its security. For example, the user access security could improve."
"There could be more AI features included in the product."
