"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 valuable features are compiling and deployment."
"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."
"Bamboo's integration with the rest of Atlassian's tech tools, like Jira, helps manage the end-to-end development and release process."
"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."
"The platform helps us with automated and timely backup. It provides data replication as well."
"It can do the CI pipeline well."
"It's a highly customizable DevOps tool."
"It's a little outdated. It's three years old."
"The performance around the deployment feature could be improved."
"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 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."
"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 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."
"It would be great if Bamboo could introduce a more containerized deployment model."
"There's also room for improvement in debugging pipeline issues, which can sometimes become complex."
