Pros
"It's a perfect solution if you are just using AWS.""The integrations are good.""It helps develop CI/CD implementations with centralized management of code building, deployment, and version control.""AWS CodePipeline offers multiple integrations and it has its own set of features in the area of code scanning and dynamic code testing.""The integration with other applications is fabulous.""The product is cost-effective and integrates well with the AWS environment.""AWS CodePipeline has valuable integration features.""Code deployment is the best feature."

"In my experience Bamboo is scalable.""The platform helps us with automated and timely backup. It provides data replication as well.""Bamboo's integration with the rest of Atlassian's tech tools, like Jira, helps manage the end-to-end development and release process.""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.""The most useful feature of Bamboo is its integration with other solutions such as Jira and BitBucket, also offered by Atlassian. It is easier to use tools all provided by one vendor.""It can do the CI pipeline well.""The most valuable feature of Bamboo is that it is a good tool for CI/CD integration.""Bamboo was used extensively in our organization for PCA compliance."

Cons
"If there are many dependancies involved in the setup, it may take a long time.""In the next release, I would like to see fewer timeout errors.""The tool does not provide automated features for evidence collection.""The setup time is a bit long.""The product’s pricing needs improvement.""AWS CodePipeline doesn't offer much room for customization.""The solution could improve the documentation. Sometimes we have some issues with the documentation not updating after releasing .NET 6. We had some issues with building the code pipeline, and it was not updating the documentation. It's better to update the code documentation.""There could be a possibility of deploying tag-based conditions for different environments using the same code base."

More AWS CodePipeline Cons →

"The performance around the deployment feature could be improved.""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.""It should be much easier to use. It shouldn't require a lot of reading to be able to use it. It should have just two or three screens rather than hundreds of screens requiring a lot of clicking. It also requires a lot of integration. It has a steep learning curve. It takes a lot of time to understand and put in the data. There is also no proper training.""The marketing strategy of Bamboo is an area of concern where improvements are needed.""Bamboo is a bit complicated to use compared to other solutions, such as GitLab. You have to integrate different actions that are difficult that could be made easier.""Bamboo’s technical support services, in terms of speed of response, need improvement.""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.""It's a little outdated. It's three years old."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "The pricing of this solution is dependent upon your needs including how many jobs you daily and how many times the developer will be changing codes and completing deployments."
  • "I would rate the product's pricing a five out of ten."
  • "AWS offers free business or enterprise support services."
  • "It is a straightforward approach where you pay for the resources you consume as they offer a subscription-based licensing model."
  • "The product is quite expensive compared to other solutions."
  • "AWS CodePipeline is quite affordable. I've been running around four pipelines and the cost is around one dollar per month. It rarely exceeds two dollars."
  • "Compared to other cloud services, AWS CodePipeline falls a bit more on the pricey side. I see that the price of the product has been increasing for the past few years."
  • More AWS CodePipeline Pricing and Cost Advice →

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

    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 much just got into its teen years in regards to mobile development. Well, subjectively, of course. You can see all levels of mobile CI these days. Some would still install builds from Xcode, others would have a quickly patched up build server under their desk. Xcode Bots meet the needs of yet another group of people. Travis CI is good and for open source projects it’s probably the best option. And guess what, I know few successful iOS development companies that develop apps for enterprise clients, and have no CI at all. The advanced level of CI would include distributed build systems with multiple build nodes, support for automated unit and UI tests, running tests on simulator and physical devices, automatic deployment to TestFlight, Hockey App, Over the Air, and much more. It becomes not just mobile development, but spans into areas like DevOps and others. Etsy’s blog post is somewhat outdated but still a very good example of where this path can take you. If you decide to take mobile CI under your total control, you have to pick a build server to start with. I personally have worked with Bamboo for 1.5 years and I’m dealing with Jenkins right now, so I have few insights… Read more →
