Bamboo vs Heroku comparison

"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."

"The tool is useful for continuous deployment."

"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's integration with the rest of Atlassian's tech tools, like Jira, helps manage the end-to-end development and release process."

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

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

"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."

"What I found most valuable about this solution is that it's easy to use and integrate with GitHub actions."

"It's easy to push a change and to deploy new things."

"It is easy to deploy applications, and we don't need to bother about software updates on the server. We don't need to bother about machines, servers, and hardware. We only need to care about the system and functionality that we need or want to develop. They take care of everything else. It provides high availability. It is a pretty good solution that provides everything that we need. It has everything that we need to run our applications. We have many different applications, and we generate three million bills for a company in Brazil. We see more than a billion requests per day in another application. Everything works just fine, and it is very good."

"One of the best things about Heroku is that it is very easy and straightforward to deploy an application."

"The platform is very Node.js-friendly, which is something that is important to us."

"The product is stable."

"The most valuable feature of Heroku is the continuous integration and applications it provides."

"I like the tool's scalability, CLI, and dashboards."

"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."

"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."

"Bamboo is a bit complicated to use compared to other solutions, such as GitLab. You have to integrate different actions that are difficult that could be made easier."

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

"It should be much easier to use. It shouldn't require a lot of reading to be able to use it. It should have just two or three screens rather than hundreds of screens requiring a lot of clicking. It also requires a lot of integration. It has a steep learning curve. It takes a lot of time to understand and put in the data. There is also no proper training."

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

"Bamboo’s technical support services, in terms of speed of response, need improvement."

"We don't find the pipelines intuitive. The user experience could be better. Having to set up multiple apps, then a pipeline, seems like an overkill on the amount of work to do."

"They could flesh out some of their analytics a little more."

"We have to do daily restarts of some processes, which is annoying, and the support for custom CI could be better."

"I improved the application performance by monitoring and adjusting the cleaner configuration to help set better lightweight limits on containers that run the app instances."

"Their support is good, but they can improve their response time."

"The pricing could be improved because scaling the database becomes costly."

"Heroku doesn't support Docker images on the CI infrastructure."

"Heroku should increase its slug size limits."

"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."

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

"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 solution's pricing a three out of five."

"There is a subscription required to use Bamboo."

"Its price is very good."

"I rate the tool's pricing a three out of ten."

"There is a standard fee for a processing unit, they call them "dynos," and then you pay for add-ons."

"The price of Heroku could be less expensive."

"The tool is free."
