Bamboo vs CircleCI vs Travis CI comparison

"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 feature of Bamboo is that it is a good tool for CI/CD integration."

"The most valuable features are compiling and deployment."

"The most useful feature of Bamboo is its integration with other solutions such as Jira and BitBucket, also offered by Atlassian. It is easier to use tools all provided by one vendor."

"It can do the CI pipeline well."

"Bamboo was used extensively in our organization for PCA compliance."

"The platform helps us with automated and timely backup. It provides data replication as well."

"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."

"The solution offers continuous integration and continuous delivery."

"Some of the most valuable features include container-based builds, integration with Bit Bucket and being able to store artifacts."

"Enables us to detect exactly which build failed and why, and to push multiple builds to our production environment at a very fast rate."

"The automation workflow in CircleCI related to third-party applications is very good and allows standardization of applications."

"It's a stable product."

"The ability to automate the build process in a seamless way and run workflows effortlessly. It supports parallel builds so it can scale well. Also, it covers the basics of any build and integration tool, including email notifications (especially when tests are fixed), project insights, etc."

"The only thing I like about Travis CI is that you have a YAML file to define a Travis flow."

"It would be great if Bamboo could introduce a more containerized deployment model."

"Integrating workflows with other platforms can be challenging. The capabilities of these platforms sometimes fall short compared to others. Initially, it was difficult for us because the plugins were very limited."

"The tool is not capable of using YAML efficiently."

"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."

"The marketing strategy of Bamboo is an area of concern where improvements are needed."

"Scalability depends on the use case. If it is really a big customer with a lot of tests, it might not be a scalable option for them."

"The performance around the deployment feature could be improved."

"One area that could be enhanced is the governance process, particularly with regard to building approvals and transitions between stages. In comparison to other solutions, such as Jira, which features a workflow that supports approval processes, this capability is not natively available in Bamboo. To implement this functionality, integration with other solutions, such as GSM may be necessary. Although some add-ons, such as Adaptavist ScriptRunner, are available in the market to circumvent this limitation, they may not offer the exact functionality needed. Therefore, there is certainly room for improvement in this area."

"There needs to be some improvement in the user interface of CircleCI."

"Billing is a mess."

"The solution’s pricing could be better."

"Integration with Microsoft Azure is one area for improvement. Azure is growing in its user base, and supports various cloud infrastructure components such as Service Fabric, App Service, etc. Some of Azure’s deployment models (like Kudu) require a steep learning curve, but if CircleCI would come up with such features (deployment to App Service) out of the box, it would be amazing."

"The interface is very basic and not user-friendly; it feels like it was stuck in 2010."

"The server products for small teams used to offer excellent pricing. However, Atlassian has since changed the offering and the pricing is more expensive. I do still think the solution offers good value for money."

"There is a subscription required to use Bamboo."

"I rate the solution's pricing a three out of five."

"I rate the product’s pricing a five out of ten."

"The price of Bamboo is reasonable."

"If Bamboo could provide more flexibility on pricing, that would help. On the agent side, if you want to increase the number of agents it should be less expensive. If they can provide some better pricing model, it will help, whether we are going to use it or are already using it."

"The price of CircleCI could be less expensive."
