A fully managed service with excellent integrations and a flexible architecture

Compared to any other tools, AWS products provide better integrations. We have tools for all our needs. The integrations are good. The product is a fully managed service. We specify the various stages in the CI/CD process. We can do it without any external tools. Going through everything is usually an overhead for developers. It is like a configuration. We need to configure it only once. The integration with other AWS services has helped us. Our life as a developer is easy. We need not focus on the integration manually. If we work with third-party tools, we must consider connectivity, role management, security, authentication, and authorization. In AWS CodePipeline, if we have IAM roles configured and KMS for the credentials, we need not worry about anything else. Everything can be done within the tool. The integrations are the best part. We can track everything. The connectivity and scalability are good. The architecture is also flexible enough. We can add multiple things.

High availability, helpful support, and plenty of plugins available

I have used Google Cloud Platform and Amazon AWS for implementing Bamboo. It is not difficult to complete. The length of time it takes for deployment depends on a lot of variables, such as how the pipeline is deployed and what type of infrastructure is present. However, it typically takes only hours not days. I rate the setup of Bamboo a nine out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"AWS CodePipeline offers multiple integrations and it has its own set of features in the area of code scanning and dynamic code testing."

"Another big advantage is observability."

"The most valuable feature of AWS CodePipeline is the flexibility of the configuration."

"In AWS, the Cloud DevOps is a managed service from CodeCommit and this has removed the need for a lot of manual steps."

"I prefer using CodePipeline and CodeBuild in AWS due to their integration with AWS services, like directly deploying to ECS using Cloud Deploy."

"The product is cost-effective and integrates well with the AWS environment."

"CodePipeline allows integration with any source code and facilitates deployment to EC2 or ECS, which is highly valuable."

"The tool's recent version helps us to run pipelines in parallel. The integration with other AWS services has greatly impacted our use of AWS CodePipeline. It made tasks such as integrating with Jira and provisioning instances much easier."

More AWS CodePipeline pros

"The most valuable features are compiling and deployment."

"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 most valuable features of Bamboo are its performance and UI. Additionally, there are a lot of useful plugins, integration with other solutions, such as Bitbucket and Jira, and a helpful online community."

"Bamboo's integration with the rest of Atlassian's tech tools, like Jira, helps manage the end-to-end development and release process."

"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."

"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."

More Bamboo pros

Cons

"The setup time is a bit long."

"The support team’s response time must be improved."

"If you're talking about multi-cloud, you can't use it."

"It would be best if AWS CodePipeline provided multiple integration options directly by providing some URLs."

"AWS CodePipeline is quite a simple tool mostly for management and creating automation."

"One downside in AWS is that when you attempt to push a change in, it misses that part, or it could be because some variables are not set correctly."

"Improved enhancements and features could make it more intuitive."

"The tool does not provide automated features for evidence collection."

More AWS CodePipeline cons

"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."

"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 should be much easier to use. It shouldn't require a lot of reading to be able to use it. It should have just two or three screens rather than hundreds of screens requiring a lot of clicking. It also requires a lot of integration. It has a steep learning curve. It takes a lot of time to understand and put in the data. There is also no proper training."

"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."

"It would be great if Bamboo could introduce a more containerized deployment model."

"It's a little outdated. It's three years old."

More Bamboo cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product is quite expensive compared to other solutions."

"AWS offers free business or enterprise support services."

"The pricing is manageable."

"I would rate the product's pricing a five out of ten."

"The price of the product depends on how many times you run it. The tool offers a pay-as-you-go model."

"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."

"AWS charges you based on the number of pipelines you have and how active they are, and I also think that the root account user knows about all the price-related metrics."

"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

"I rate the solution's pricing a three out of five."

"The price of Bamboo is reasonable."

"I rate the product’s pricing a five out of ten."

"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."

"There is a subscription required to use Bamboo."
