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

"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."
"The technical support provided by Atlassian is very good."
"Bamboo has proven its value for the teams."
"The deployment mechanism was neat, and I liked how it allowed you deploy the same release to multiple environments."
"It can do the CI pipeline well."
"The main benefits Bamboo provides for me and my team are the automation to pick up code changes and automate the deployments, building images."
"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."
"The most valuable features are compiling and deployment."
"Easy to configure, works well, has 'free' options (like Social)."
 

Cons

"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."
"From my personal experience regarding scalability and the ability to scale, I find that sometimes the agents run out of resources and then it takes quite a while to get additional infrastructure."
"Yes, it needs to allow multiple plans to run on an agent at the same time; dedicating one whole agent is not fair, and in terms of buying and maintaining more infrastructure, it is not scalable either."
"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 REST API for our deployment project is still very basic and lacks the ability to provide a decent amount of custom automation."
"The tool is not capable of using YAML efficiently."
"While the community may grow over time, please ensure your current/future processes are not hindered by Bamboo's faults."
"We are lacking proper support for branched builds using multiple source repositories."
"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."
"The price of Bamboo is reasonable."
"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."
"I rate the product’s pricing a five out of ten."
