We performed a comparison between Bamboo, Jenkins, and TeamCity based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about GitLab, Jenkins, Amazon Web Services (AWS) and others in Build Automation."One of the big things that made us choose Bamboo, is it seamlessly integrates its APIs into NetSuite, which is our main ELP system."
"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."
"In my experience Bamboo is scalable."
"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 platform helps us with automated and timely backup. It provides data replication as well."
"It can do the CI pipeline well."
"Bamboo's integration with the rest of Atlassian's tech tools, like Jira, helps manage the end-to-end development and release process."
"This is a great integration tool and very powerful."
"Jenkins is very user-friendly."
"Having builds and test tasks triggered on commit helps not to break the product."
"This solution has helped us in automating the build and test process, reducing time."
"Jenkins has excellent task planning features."
"The most valuable features of Jenkins are creating builds, and connecting them with Sonar for Sonar analysis. Additionally, we connect it with other vulnerability tools, such as WhiteSource which is useful."
"It's very useful when you want to automate different processes from beginning to end."
"Jenkins has built good plugins and has a good security platform."
"It's easy to move to a new release because of templates and meta-runners, and agent pooling."
"The flexibility of TeamCity allows it to fit in workflows that I have yet to imagine."
"The integration is a valuable feature."
"I have not yet implemented the remote build feature, but this will be a big plus. We want to be able to build legacy products on a build agent without developers needing to have obsolete tool sets installed on their local PC."
"TeamCity's GUI is nice."
"The most valuable aspect of the solution is its easy configuration. It also has multiple plugins that can be used especially for building .net applications."
"We would like to see better integration with other version controls, since we encountered difficulty when this we first attempted."
"VCS Trigger: Provides excellent source control support."
"It would be great if Bamboo could introduce a more containerized deployment model."
"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."
"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."
"Bamboo’s technical support services, in terms of speed of response, need improvement."
"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."
"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."
"It's a little outdated. It's three years old."
"Partition security for the workflow of projects is not yet an option."
"Logging could be improved to offer a clearer view."
"The scriptwriting process could be improved in this solution in the future."
"And I don't care too much for the Jenkins user interface. It's not that user-friendly compared to other solutions available right now. It's not a great user experience. You can do just fine if you are a techie, but it would take a novice some time to learn it and get things done."
"I sometimes face a bottleneck when installing the plugins on an offline machine. Mapping the dependencies and then installing the correct sequence of dependencies is a nightmare, and it took me two days to do it."
"The documentation on plugin development could be better: more examples. "
"Jenkins could simplify the user interface a little bit because it sometimes creates too many features cramped in the UI."
"The product should provide more visualization as to how many pipelines are performing and how many builds are happening. It should also integrate with Kubernetes and OpenShift."
"We've called TeamCity tech support. Unfortunately, all their tech support is based in Europe, so we end up with such a big time crunch that I now need to have one person in the US."
"I need some more graphical design."
"It will benefit this solution if they keep up to date with other CI/CD systems out there."
"Their online documentation is fairly extensive, but sometimes you can end up navigating in circles to find answers. I would like them (or partner with someone) to provide training classes to help newcomers get things up and running more quickly."
"REST API support lacks many features in customization of builds, jobs, and settings."
"Integrating with certain technologies posed challenges related to time and required support from the respective technology teams to ensure smooth integration with TeamCity."
"The upgrade process could be smoother. Upgrading major versions can often cause some pain."
"If there was more documentation that was easier to locate, it would be helpful for users."
