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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Bamboo was used extensively in our organization for PCA compliance."
"One of the big things that made us choose Bamboo is it seamlessly integrates its APIs into NetSuite, which is our main ELP system, and the fact that it's integrated within Oracle products and can manage statutory people in our organization, with features and functionality that are all huge selling points."
"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)."
"Bamboo has proven its value for the teams."
"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 most valuable features of Bamboo are its performance and UI. Additionally, there are a lot of useful plugins, integration with other solutions, such as Bitbucket and Jira, and a helpful online community."
"With Bamboo's integration with Jira, we were able to update build status and test reports to Jira bugs/tasks."
"Easy to configure, works well, has 'free' options (like Social)."
 

Cons

"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."
"Bamboo’s technical support services, in terms of speed of response, need improvement."
"The REST API for our deployment project is still very basic and lacks the ability to provide a decent amount of custom automation."
"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."
"We are lacking proper support for branched builds using multiple source repositories."
"It should be much easier to use. It shouldn't require a lot of reading to be able to use it."
"It's a little outdated. It's three years old."
"It would be great if Bamboo could introduce a more containerized deployment model."
"I had a little problem in redeploying applications using a specific framework (reactor + spring) in a Maven multi-module project."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I rate the solution's pricing a three out of five."
"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."
"The price of Bamboo is reasonable."
"I rate the product’s pricing a five out of ten."
"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."

What advice do you have for others considering Bamboo?
The term multi-stage building plans in Bamboo doesn't really ring a bell for me. I just use the standard features. I would rate my overall experience with Bamboo an eight out of ten.
