Bamboo Reviews
Pros
I really love how it's very pure and simple, and how it's already connected into our Bitbucket and Jira instances. It's less product hopping.
Overall Bamboo supports most of the features needed for continuous delivery and CI CD pipeline. It makes the deployment process quite easy and reliable.
Also as part of the build process, it shows associated Jira code commits tickets. Which is very helpful to find the new changes which are going to deploy thru any particular build.
Cons
The logging isn't very accurate and you need to do a deep dive into the code to figure out the actual issue during failures.
I don't have much I don't like, maybe if I were able to have more customizable options.
Sometimes it get tricky to construct a build pipeline.
"Atlassian with another hit developer hit, Bamboo!"
Overall: It's been easy, and game changing.
Pros: I really love how it's very pure and simple, and how it's already connected into our Bitbucket and Jira instances. It's less product hopping.
Cons: I don't have much I don't like, maybe if I were able to have more customizable options. But I'm not picky as it does a great job.
"It is a good program to work with but very expensive"
Overall: Another indicator that we liked was the wide range of languages supported, let's say that we believe that the price paid was very high, I think that we did not have a good compatibility priority in this sense since it always took hours for our tickets to be attended to.
Pros: Very fast automation of the products since it provides continuous integration with the Atlasian software, it increased our production in a generic way very quickly, almost no errors in the process chain, it had good integrations with other Atlasian programs such as Bitbucket and in that period of time we did a lot of work with these particular tools since we already knew how to use them.
Cons: Bamboo did not allow us to easily configure and manage multiple environments such as development, testing and production, which at first they promised us would work perfectly, this was crucial to not have it as a main development program since the applications we used or the projects that we needed to generate were increasing every day. Consequence value very high to compare it with other programs in the development environment, since others allowed us simultaneity in this sense.
"Good product but with scope for improvement"
Overall: Overall I'm satisfied with the product but it could use a lot of improvement
Pros: Setting up bamboo pipelines for automation is relatively very straightforward and easy
Cons: I'm not a big fan of the logging. The logging isn't very accurate and you need to do a deep dive into the code to figure out the actual issue during failures
"Completed satisfied"
Pros: Bamboo is used in the organisation as continuous integration tool and to schedule and run automation jobs in the space I work.
Cons: It can be slightly better in terms of support for non-Java based projects
"A good Continuous delivery and Deployment Tool"
Overall: Overall Bamboo supports most of the features needed for continuous delivery and CI CD pipeline. It makes the deployment process quite easy and reliable.
Pros: Bamboo is very easy to use. Once someone creates a build, anyone from the team can build and deploy very easily using Bamboo UI with a few clicks.If the build fails because of some reason we can quickly take a look in the logs and find the root cause of the failure.Also as part of the build process, it shows associated Jira code commits tickets. Which is very helpful to find the new changes which are going to deploy thru any particular build.
Cons: I don't see any measure issue with Bamboo.
