Director at a computer software company with 11-50 employees
Scaling to accommodate a new app or higher build concurrency has required zero infrastructure work on our part.

I have automated multiple apps from the same organization across iOS and Android, and they work quite well.
Engineering Manager at a comms service provider with 11-50 employees
Before we used to have small applications, around 50-60 MB, and now we have application sizes from 300 to 400 MB without facing any issues when generating larger builds for IPA files and APK files.

Machine learning and AI are in big demand at the moment.
Director at a computer software company with 11-50 employees
One improvement Bitrise can have is enhanced debugging tools for analyzing failed builds.
Cloud Platform at Futurescape
Sometimes I face issues when I trigger a build to generate, and I get a build failed without getting the proper log.

They guarantee you that you never run out of processes, ensuring that you will always be able to generate your build, no matter if you expand or pass that limit.
Software Engineer at Ex. Hinge health
The pricing point was a pinch point for us, but the rest was good.
SRE at a consultancy with 11-50 employees
 

Valuable Features

Bamboo offers seamless Atlassian integration, customizable CI/CD pipelines, extensive automation, and third-party support, valued for ease of use.
Bitrise streamlines mobile development with CI/CD, automation, code signing, integrations, and user-friendly tools, boosting efficiency and speed.
The main benefits Bamboo provides for me and my team are the automation to pick up code changes and automate the deployments, building images.

SRE at a consultancy with 11-50 employees

Featured Reviews

Christo Louw - PeerSpot reviewer
Director at a computer software company with 11-50 employees
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.
Mansoor-Mohammed - PeerSpot reviewer
SRE at a consultancy with 11-50 employees
Weekly mobile releases have become reliable and pipeline incidents have dropped dramatically
The improvement I would suggest for Bitrise is that the cost is significantly the friction point. Mac build machines are considerably more expensive than Linux equivalents. As our team has grown, the monthly bills have scaled accordingly with limited room to optimize without reducing concurrency. The self-hosted runner option was evaluated as a potential cost-saving measure, but the documentation and tooling for it are still less mature than the cloud product. Build debugging remains a log parsing exercise. There is no interactive debugging session or live SSH access into a failing build environment, which would be a meaningful productive improvement. The analytics dashboard is very minimal and basic and lacks the depth that anyone would want for capacity planning and trend analysis.
