Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"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.""Bamboo was used extensively in our organization for PCA compliance.""In my experience Bamboo is scalable.""One of the significant benefits of Bamboo is its built-in support for numerous clients and the ability to tailor its capabilities to your specific requirements. This high level of customization enables you to create pipelines that are ideally suited to your needs, making it an invaluable tool for conducting advanced testing.""Bamboo's integration with the rest of Atlassian's tech tools, like Jira, helps manage the end-to-end development and release process.""The platform helps us with automated and timely backup. It provides data replication as well.""The most valuable feature of Bamboo is that it is a good tool for CI/CD integration.""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."

More Bamboo Pros →

"We never experienced any problems with scalability."

More Concourse for VMware Tanzu Pros →

"The platform has some amazing features and the integration option makes it very simple to plug with any of our favorite tools.""Testing against multiple run times, versions, and environments is a plus point with the additional pipelines making it more interesting to see what is happening across your development process in a single pane of glass."

More JFrog Pipeline Pros →

Cons
"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’s technical support services, in terms of speed of response, need improvement.""The marketing strategy of Bamboo is an area of concern where improvements are needed.""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.""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.""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.""It would be great if Bamboo could introduce a more containerized deployment model.""The performance around the deployment feature could be improved."

More Bamboo Cons →

"I would like to see additional support for things outside of Cloud Foundry."

More Concourse for VMware Tanzu Cons →

"They could work on reducing the number of permissions required while using Bitbucket."

More JFrog Pipeline Cons →

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "There is a subscription required to use Bamboo."
  • "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 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."
  • "The price of Bamboo is reasonable."
  • "I rate the product’s pricing a five out of ten."
  • More Bamboo Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "The solution is bundled in with Cloud Foundry so the pricing is not independent."
  • More Concourse for VMware Tanzu Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "The pricing is the cheapest compared to the other platforms out there."

    A biased and subjective comparison of Bamboo and Jenkins as CI servers for mobile development, based on practical experience with both. Continuous Integration and Continuous Deployment (Delivery, Distribution) has been around for quite a while. But surprisingly enough on a global scale it pretty much just got into its teen years in regards to mobile development. Well, subjectively, of course. You can see all levels of mobile CI these days. Some would still install builds from Xcode, others would have a quickly patched up build server under their desk. Xcode Bots meet the needs of yet another group of people. Travis CI is good and for open source projects it’s probably the best option. And guess what, I know few successful iOS development companies that develop apps for enterprise clients, and have no CI at all. The advanced level of CI would include distributed build systems with multiple build nodes, support for automated unit and UI tests, running tests on simulator and physical devices, automatic deployment to TestFlight, Hockey App, Over the Air, and much more. It becomes not just mobile development, but spans into areas like DevOps and others. Etsy’s blog post is somewhat outdated but still a very good example of where this path can take you. If you decide to take mobile CI under your total control, you have to pick a build server to start with. I personally have worked with Bamboo for 1.5 years and I’m dealing with Jenkins right now, so I have few insights… Read more →
