We performed a comparison between Bamboo and TeamCity based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Build Automation solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Bamboo was used extensively in our organization for PCA compliance."
"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."
"In my experience Bamboo is scalable."
"It's one of the best solutions in this line of work. We have many Atlassian products. We use Bamboo, JIRA, Service Desk, and some other Atlassian plugins. We like that it's easy to integrate into each other. It's a suite of services."
"It can do the CI pipeline well."
"The platform helps us with automated and timely backup. It provides data replication as well."
"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."
"It's easy to move to a new release because of templates and meta-runners, and agent pooling."
"TeamCity is a very user-friendly tool."
"It provides repeatable CI/CD throughout our company with lots of feedback on failures and successes to the intended audiences via email and Slack."
"We would like to see better integration with other version controls, since we encountered difficulty when this we first attempted."
"One of the most beneficial features for us is the flexibility it offers in creating deployment steps tailored to different technologies."
"TeamCity's GUI is nice."
"VCS Trigger: Provides excellent source control support."
"The flexibility of TeamCity allows it to fit in workflows that I have yet to imagine."
"Bamboo could improve by having compatibility with GitLab. It would be better to have this platform for deploying code and storing container registries. Bamboo does not have a container registry. Additionally, there could be more features added."
"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."
"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 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."
"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 solution needs to support more customization in the training. What's offered is pretty generic. They need better training and should offer more guidance."
"The performance around the deployment feature could be improved."
"The upgrade process could be smoother. Upgrading major versions can often cause some pain."
"Their online documentation is fairly extensive, but sometimes you can end up navigating in circles to find answers. I would like them (or partner with someone) to provide training classes to help newcomers get things up and running more quickly."
"If there was more documentation that was easier to locate, it would be helpful for users."
"If TeamCity could create more out of the box solutions to make it more user friendly and create more use cases, that would be ideal."
"Last time I used it, dotnet compilation had to be done via PowerShell scripts. There was actually a lot that had to be scripted."
"I need some more graphical design."
"The UI for this solution could be improved. New users don't find it easy to navigate. The need some level of training to understand the ins and the outs."
"We've called TeamCity tech support. Unfortunately, all their tech support is based in Europe, so we end up with such a big time crunch that I now need to have one person in the US."
