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."
"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 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 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."
"Bamboo was used extensively in our organization for PCA compliance."
"The most valuable features are compiling and deployment."
"The most valuable feature of Bamboo is that it is a good tool for CI/CD integration."
"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 solution is very simple to use. It has a lot of great practical applications we really appreciate."
"It is easy to deploy."
"The scalability is the most unique feature. Whenever our user count is high, and utilization of our application results in high use of resources, Microsoft Azure automatically scales our application so that users can access it without any issues or errors. Microsoft Azure gives you the flexibility to scale your applications up and down at any moment. It is quite easy and impressive."
"I have found all the features to be good."
"Much more intuitive and more visual than AWS. More obvious where things are and how to change their configurations, etc."
"Microsoft Azure has a lot of useful features. They have databases, application services, PaaS solutions, such as platform and infrastructure services. The virtual machines' functions and services are good."
"Feature-wise, I like its stability. Also, it is easy to access the solution and its options."
"The automated connectors to some of our critical enterprise systems are an important feature. These are very large, critical, global HCM systems."
"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."
"The marketing strategy of Bamboo is an area of concern where improvements are needed."
"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 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’s technical support services, in terms of speed of response, need improvement."
"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."
"It's a little outdated. It's three years old."
"Sometimes performance takes a hit on a slow network."
"The pricing in our region can be a bit high."
"It would be beneficial if Microsoft could enhance the free version to allow for more exploration and development. That's my only suggestion regarding Azure."
"We use Microsoft Server 2019 and 2016. And I didn't like the 2019 client, so we had to downgrade back to 2016. The main issue there was its monitoring system. Our client needed an alternative, and if they were using more Windows products, they also needed to make that downgrade."
"Ease of use could be improved."
"The security feature in the solution is an area that needs to be improved."
"I would recommend some enhancement regarding integration features."
"The price of the Azure license could be cheaper."
