Bamboo vs CircleCI comparison

"One of the big things that made us choose Bamboo, is it seamlessly integrates its APIs into NetSuite, which is our main ELP system."

"Bamboo was used extensively in our organization for PCA compliance."

"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."

"In my experience Bamboo is scalable."

"The tool is useful for continuous deployment."

"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."

"Some of the most valuable features include container-based builds, integration with Bit Bucket and being able to store artifacts."

"The automation workflow in CircleCI related to third-party applications is very good and allows standardization of applications."

"Enables us to detect exactly which build failed and why, and to push multiple builds to our production environment at a very fast rate."

"The ability to automate the build process in a seamless way and run workflows effortlessly. It supports parallel builds so it can scale well. Also, it covers the basics of any build and integration tool, including email notifications (especially when tests are fixed), project insights, etc."

"The solution offers continuous integration and continuous delivery."

"It's a stable product."

"One area that could be enhanced is the governance process, particularly with regard to building approvals and transitions between stages. In comparison to other solutions, such as Jira, which features a workflow that supports approval processes, this capability is not natively available in Bamboo. To implement this functionality, integration with other solutions, such as GSM may be necessary. Although some add-ons, such as Adaptavist ScriptRunner, are available in the market to circumvent this limitation, they may not offer the exact functionality needed. Therefore, there is certainly room for improvement in this area."

"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."

"Integrating workflows with other platforms can be challenging. The capabilities of these platforms sometimes fall short compared to others. Initially, it was difficult for us because the plugins were very limited."

"It's a little outdated.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

"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."

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

"The performance around the deployment feature could be improved."

"There needs to be some improvement in the user interface of CircleCI."

"Billing is a mess."

"The solution’s pricing could be better."

"Integration with Microsoft Azure is one area for improvement. Azure is growing in its user base, and supports various cloud infrastructure components such as Service Fabric, App Service, etc. Some of Azure’s deployment models (like Kudu) require a steep learning curve, but if CircleCI would come up with such features (deployment to App Service) out of the box, it would be amazing."

"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."

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

"There is a subscription required to use Bamboo."

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

"The price of Bamboo is reasonable."

"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 CircleCI could be less expensive."
