Automation has streamlined build and deployment workflows and provides clear project reporting
Regarding improvements for Bamboo, I can't think of anything right now. Bamboo is serving the purpose that we needed it for. I would say pipelines for model building could be an area of focus. However, I can't really comment on that because I haven't looked at Bamboo to assist with machine learning pipelines. If they haven't focused on building MLOps pipelines, that's definitely an area where they could assist businesses. I haven't looked at what Bamboo offers for MLOps, so it's possible that they've already built in features. Machine learning and AI are in big demand at the moment. If they haven't focused too much on MLOps, that's probably where they can improve.

Saves time for developers, which saves money for the company
We are using the Incredibuild agent to run multiple processes on all available cores. This is the improvement that we did. Instead of the machine's core doing task after task, it is now running on multiple machines. In my working environment, it is saving time for all our developers in regards to the time consumption of the builds. My team has four people who manage and interact with Incredibuild as a product.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Bamboo has proven its value for the teams."
"It can do the CI pipeline 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 main benefits Bamboo provides for me and my team are the automation to pick up code changes and automate the deployments, building images."
"Ability to interface easily with other Atlassian applications."
"Thanks to Bamboo we are able to build changes made by development quite quickly and allow them to deploy to our internal environments when needed (as well as automated during the night)."
"The deployment mechanism was neat, and I liked how it allowed you deploy the same release to multiple environments."
"We use Bamboo to automate all our test builds and deployments. It integrates with tools like the ReportPortal to help us check and evaluate processes. When we initiate commands, it automatically checks for scaling issues or failures related to new code. Based on these evaluations, it provides reports in the ReportPortal, helping us decide whether to implement changes."
"It is saving time for developers, which is saving money for the company."
"For each build that runs where I need to generate a code, it takes around half an hour instead of an hour and a half."
 

Cons

"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."
"Bamboo’s technical support services, in terms of speed of response, need improvement."
"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."
"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."
"From my personal experience regarding scalability and the ability to scale, I find that sometimes the agents run out of resources and then it takes quite a while to get additional infrastructure."
"Personally I'm in the process of moving away from Bamboo."
"It would be great if Bamboo could introduce a more containerized deployment model."
"While the community may grow over time, please ensure your current/future processes are not hindered by Bamboo's faults."
"Stability could be improved. I don't know the reason for the instability because there are no logs that help me to understand the problem."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I rate the solution's pricing a three out of five."
"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."
"I rate the product’s pricing a five out of ten."
"There is a subscription required to use Bamboo."
"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."
"Its pricing and licensing are annoying. Every year, I need to renew. If I miss the deadline date, all my processes will stop working. So, I would prefer that I wouldn't need to renew every year, instead have another solution for it. Or, if we could have an enterprise license agreement with the company, then the development team wouldn't need to spend time renewing licenses."
