"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."
"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."
"The most valuable features are compiling and deployment."
"A lot of support material exists via a single web search of exactly what you're looking for."
"The most valuable feature of Jenkins is its open source."
"I am not aware of the available options in the market right now compared to Jenkins, but I am pretty much happy with the service that Jenkins is providing our company."

"The solution is scalable and has a large number of plugins that can help you scale it to your needs."
"Bamboo’s technical support services, in terms of speed of response, need improvement."

"It would be great if Bamboo could introduce a more containerized deployment model."
"The marketing strategy of Bamboo is an area of concern where improvements are needed."
"Scalability depends on the use case. If it is really a big customer with a lot of tests, it might not be a scalable option for them."
"The performance around the deployment feature could be improved."
"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."
"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."
"Sometimes, random errors of metadata are not there, which causes delays. These are essentially gaps in the information being passed to the job."
"UI is quite outdated."
"We need more licensed product integrations."
"For this solution to be a 10, it has to be a lot more stable. Maybe the public version of Jenkins is stable, but in our case it's not stable."
"Partition security for the workflow of projects is not yet an option."
"The documentation is not helpful, as it is not user-friendly."
"This solution would be improved with the inclusion of an Artifactory (Universal artifact repository manager)."
