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

"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."
"It can do the CI pipeline well."
"The deployment mechanism was neat, and I liked how it allowed you deploy the same release to multiple environments."
"The platform helps us with automated and timely backup. It provides data replication as well."
"It can do the CI pipeline well."
"The technical support provided by Atlassian is very good."
"The most valuable features are compiling and deployment."
"Bamboo's integration with the rest of Atlassian's tech tools, like Jira, helps manage the end-to-end development and release process."
"Easy to configure, works well, has 'free' options (like Social)."
 

Cons

"While the community may grow over time, please ensure your current/future processes are not hindered by Bamboo's faults."
"Bamboo’s technical support services, in terms of speed of response, need improvement."
"The solution needs to support more customization in the training. What's offered is pretty generic. They need better training and should offer more guidance."
"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 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."
"Bamboo can improve by providing more with scripting, such as they have with Jenkins."
"I had a little problem in redeploying applications using a specific framework (reactor + spring) in a Maven multi-module project."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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 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."

Bamboo vs. Jenkins
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…
