Automation has streamlined build and deployment workflows and provides clear project reporting
Regarding improvements for Bamboo, I can't think of anything right now. Bamboo is serving the purpose that we needed it for. I would say pipelines for model building could be an area of focus. However, I can't really comment on that because I haven't looked at Bamboo to assist with machine learning pipelines. If they haven't focused on building MLOps pipelines, that's definitely an area where they could assist businesses. I haven't looked at what Bamboo offers for MLOps, so it's possible that they've already built in features. Machine learning and AI are in big demand at the moment. If they haven't focused too much on MLOps, that's probably where they can improve.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Bamboo, along with its integrated deployment and release pipeline, enabled us to go from a monolithic, once a month release cycle, with many post-release incidents to an on-demand, push-button release strategy where we deployed over 200 times a month with very few to no release-related incidents."
"It's one of the best solutions in this line of work; we have many Atlassian products, including Bamboo, JIRA, Service Desk, and other Atlassian plugins, and we like that it's easy to integrate them with each other as a suite of services."
"The platform helps us with automated and timely backup. It provides data replication as well."
"We had done some research and found the Microsoft Azure DevOps VSTS was not competent enough to support Core Java lambda functions, so we picked up Atlassian Bamboo and we are happy with it."
"The technical support provided by Atlassian is very good."
"It can do the CI pipeline well."
"Bamboo has proven its value for the teams."
"The main benefits Bamboo provides for me and my team are the automation to pick up code changes and automate the deployments, building images."
"Easy to configure, works well, has 'free' options (like Social)."
 

Cons

"It would be great if Bamboo could introduce a more containerized deployment model."
"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."
"Personally I'm in the process of moving away from Bamboo."
"The marketing strategy of Bamboo is an area of concern where improvements are needed."
"It's a little outdated. It's three years old."
"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."
"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."
"The tool is not capable of using YAML efficiently."
"I had a little problem in redeploying applications using a specific framework (reactor + spring) in a Maven multi-module project."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I rate the solution's pricing a three out of five."
"There is a subscription required to use Bamboo."
"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."
"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 price of Bamboo is reasonable."
"I rate the product’s pricing a five out of ten."

What advice do you have for others considering Bamboo?
The term multi-stage building plans in Bamboo doesn't really ring a bell for me. I just use the standard features. I would rate my overall experience with Bamboo an eight out of ten.
