Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"It helps develop CI/CD implementations with centralized management of code building, deployment, and version control.""Code deployment is the best feature.""The most valuable feature of AWS CodePipeline is the flexibility of the configuration.""The integrations are good.""I find performance to be the most valuable CodePipeline feature. It works perfectly and smoothly.""AWS CodePipeline has valuable integration features.""AWS CodePipeline offers multiple integrations and it has its own set of features in the area of code scanning and dynamic code testing.""The product is a one-stop solution that you can use to integrate, deploy and host your application."

More AWS CodePipeline Pros →

"The most valuable features are compiling and deployment.""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.""One of the big things that made us choose Bamboo, is it seamlessly integrates its APIs into NetSuite, which is our main ELP system.""In my experience Bamboo is scalable.""The most valuable feature of Bamboo is that it is a good tool for CI/CD integration.""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."

Cons
"The migration process from one source code to another needs improvement.""In the next release, I would like to see fewer timeout errors.""There could be a possibility of deploying tag-based conditions for different environments using the same code base.""The product’s pricing needs improvement.""If you're talking about multi-cloud, you can't use it.""If there are many dependancies involved in the setup, it may take a long time.""The setup time is a bit long.""The support team’s response time must be improved."

More AWS CodePipeline Cons →

"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.""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 marketing strategy of Bamboo is an area of concern where improvements are needed.""Bamboo can improve by providing more with scripting, such as they have with Jenkins. Bamboo is more UI-driven at this time, Jenkins is going in that direction too.""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.""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's a little outdated. It's three years old.""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."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "The pricing of this solution is dependent upon your needs including how many jobs you daily and how many times the developer will be changing codes and completing deployments."
  • "I would rate the product's pricing a five out of ten."
  • "AWS offers free business or enterprise support services."
  • "It is a straightforward approach where you pay for the resources you consume as they offer a subscription-based licensing model."
  • "The product is quite expensive compared to other solutions."
  • "AWS CodePipeline is quite affordable. I've been running around four pipelines and the cost is around one dollar per month. It rarely exceeds two dollars."
  • "Compared to other cloud services, AWS CodePipeline falls a bit more on the pricey side. I see that the price of the product has been increasing for the past few years."
  • More AWS CodePipeline Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "There is a subscription required to use Bamboo."
  • "If Bamboo could provide more flexibility on pricing, that would help. On the agent side, if you want to increase the number of agents it should be less expensive. If they can provide some better pricing model, it will help, whether we are going to use it or are already using it."
  • "The server products for small teams used to offer excellent pricing. However, Atlassian has since changed the offering and the pricing is more expensive. I do still think the solution offers good value for money."
  • "The price of Bamboo is reasonable."
  • "I rate the product’s pricing a five out of ten."

    A biased and subjective comparison of Bamboo and Jenkins as CI servers for mobile development, based on practical experience with both. Continuous Integration and Continuous Deployment (Delivery, Distribution) has been around for quite a while. But surprisingly enough on a global scale it pretty much just got into its teen years in regards to mobile development. Well, subjectively, of course. You can see all levels of mobile CI these days. Some would still install builds from Xcode, others would have a quickly patched up build server under their desk. Xcode Bots meet the needs of yet another group of people. Travis CI is good and for open source projects it’s probably the best option. And guess what, I know few successful iOS development companies that develop apps for enterprise clients, and have no CI at all. The advanced level of CI would include distributed build systems with multiple build nodes, support for automated unit and UI tests, running tests on simulator and physical devices, automatic deployment to TestFlight, Hockey App, Over the Air, and much more. It becomes not just mobile development, but spans into areas like DevOps and others. Etsy’s blog post is somewhat outdated but still a very good example of where this path can take you. If you decide to take mobile CI under your total control, you have to pick a build server to start with. I personally have worked with Bamboo for 1.5 years and I’m dealing with Jenkins right now, so I have few insights… Read more →
