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."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."
"Bamboo was used extensively in our organization for PCA compliance."
"The most valuable features are compiling and deployment."
"One of the big things that made us choose Bamboo, is it seamlessly integrates its APIs into NetSuite, which is our main ELP system."
"The platform helps us with automated and timely backup. It provides data replication as well."
"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."
"In my experience Bamboo is scalable."
"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."
"TeamCity's GUI is nice."
"One of the most beneficial features for us is the flexibility it offers in creating deployment steps tailored to different technologies."
"The most valuable aspect of the solution is its easy configuration. It also has multiple plugins that can be used especially for building .net applications."
"TeamCity is a very user-friendly tool."
"Using TeamCity and emailing everyone on fail is one way to emphasize the importance of testing code and showing management why taking the time to test actually does saves time from having to fix bugs on the other end."
"The flexibility of TeamCity allows it to fit in workflows that I have yet to imagine."
"VCS Trigger: Provides excellent source control support."
"The integration is a valuable feature."
"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"It's a little outdated. It's three years old."
"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."
"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."
"The marketing strategy of Bamboo is an area of concern where improvements are needed."
"One area that could be enhanced is the governance process, particularly with regard to building approvals and transitions between stages. In comparison to other solutions, such as Jira, which features a workflow that supports approval processes, this capability is not natively available in Bamboo. To implement this functionality, integration with other solutions, such as GSM may be necessary. Although some add-ons, such as Adaptavist ScriptRunner, are available in the market to circumvent this limitation, they may not offer the exact functionality needed. Therefore, there is certainly room for improvement in this area."
"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."
"It would be great if Bamboo could introduce a more containerized deployment model."
"Last time I used it, dotnet compilation had to be done via PowerShell scripts. There was actually a lot that had to be scripted."
"Integrating with certain technologies posed challenges related to time and required support from the respective technology teams to ensure smooth integration with TeamCity."
"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."
"REST API support lacks many features in customization of builds, jobs, and settings."
"It will benefit this solution if they keep up to date with other CI/CD systems out there."
"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."
"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."
