We performed a comparison between Bamboo, Concourse for VMware Tanzu, and JFrog Pipeline based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about GitLab, Jenkins, Google and others in Build Automation."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 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."
"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."
"It can do the CI pipeline well."
"In Bamboo, build and deployment have been segregated. The build plan and deployment plan are different. When comparing Bamboo to other solutions, the native feature you will not find in another tool, such as Jenkins. They have segregated the build and deployment plan. This means, building the application and deploying it are two separate parts in Bamboo, they have segregated it apart from the UI. This makes the tool a bit better compared to other tools."
"The platform helps us with automated and timely backup. It provides data replication as well."
"We never experienced any problems with scalability."
"Testing against multiple run times, versions, and environments is a plus point with the additional pipelines making it more interesting to see what is happening across your development process in a single pane of glass."
"The platform has some amazing features and the integration option makes it very simple to plug with any of our favorite tools."
"It's a little outdated. It's three years old."
"It would be great if Bamboo could introduce a more containerized deployment model."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"The performance around the deployment feature could be improved."
"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."
"I would like to see additional support for things outside of Cloud Foundry."
"They could work on reducing the number of permissions required while using Bitbucket."
