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.

Data-driven experiments have transformed feature rollouts and now validate business impact
I feel that overall my experience with Split has been positive regarding necessary improvements, particularly around user experience and enhancements to the user interface, especially for larger teams. As experimentation programs grow, users must navigate many feature flags and different environments, so making discovery, organization, and lifecycle management more intuitive would be beneficial. While Split integrates well with many tools, additional connectivity with analytics and BI reporting platforms could provide a more seamless experience for organizations. There are areas where Split can be improved, particularly around advanced reporting and visualization capabilities. While the platform manages experiments and feature rollouts effectively, having more robust, out-of-the-box reporting options would allow business stakeholders to interpret results without relying on external tools. Additionally, as organizations grow, managing and overseeing feature flags becomes more challenging, so enhancing governance capabilities would be beneficial. In terms of user experience and integrations, I think the platform could enhance those areas as well. Users often need to navigate through a large number of feature flags as experimentation programs scale, so improvements to the user interface that simplify discovery, organization, and lifecycle management would be valuable, especially for larger teams. While Split integrates effectively with many tools, increasing connectivity with analytics and BI reporting could help organizations enhance their operations.

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."
"The deployment mechanism was neat, and I liked how it allowed you deploy the same release to multiple environments."
"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."
"Bamboo's integration with the rest of Atlassian's tech tools, like Jira, helps manage the end-to-end development and release process."
"In my experience Bamboo is scalable."
"The technical support provided by Atlassian is very good."
"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."
"The tool is useful for continuous deployment."
"Split has increased some of our CVR; for example, in a recent pop-up model experiment, our conversion was around 15% and once we started the experiment, the on-variant won by increasing the CVR up to 35%, making it a really good tool for determining which particular feature would deliver the expected CVR."
"Split has positively impacted my organization by improving both developer experience and customer experience."
"Split is a great way to handle the config based on checks and in a dynamic way if you want to control your software without doing any deployment."
"Split facilitated a culture of data-driven decision-making, allowing us to validate our ideas and providing measurable outcomes for decisions."
 

Cons

"The marketing strategy of Bamboo is an area of concern where improvements are needed."
"Integrating workflows with other platforms can be challenging. The capabilities of these platforms sometimes fall short compared to others. Initially, it was difficult for us because the plugins were very limited."
"The tool is not capable of using YAML efficiently."
"While the community may grow over time, please ensure your current/future processes are not hindered by Bamboo's faults."
"It would be great if Bamboo could introduce a more containerized deployment model."
"Yes, it needs to allow multiple plans to run on an agent at the same time; dedicating one whole agent is not fair, and in terms of buying and maintaining more infrastructure, it is not scalable either."
"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."
"Personally I'm in the process of moving away from Bamboo."
"The UI of split.io can be improved."
"There are areas where Split can be improved, particularly around advanced reporting and visualization capabilities."
"Initially, I had difficulty finding analytics and understanding setup."
"Additionally, we tend to move towards other issues related to Split due to flickering issues, which we observed because of latency."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

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