Bamboo vs TeamCity comparison

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

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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 feature of Bamboo is that it is a good tool for CI/CD integration."

"TeamCity is very useful due to the fact that it has a strong plug-in system."

"The flexibility of TeamCity allows it to fit in workflows that I have yet to imagine."

"Using TeamCity and emailing everyone on fail is one way to emphasize the importance of testing code and showing management why taking the time to test actually does saves time from having to fix bugs on the other end."

"Time to deployment has been reduced in situations where we want to deploy to production or deploy breaking changes."

"VCS Trigger: Provides excellent source control support."

"We would like to see better integration with other version controls, since we encountered difficulty when this we first attempted."

"Good integration with IDE and JetBrains products."

"The most valuable aspect of the solution is its easy configuration. It also has multiple plugins that can be used especially for building .net applications."

"The tool is not capable of using YAML efficiently."

"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 marketing strategy of Bamboo is an area of concern where improvements are needed."

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's a little outdated.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

"Bamboo can improve by providing more with scripting, such as they have with Jenkins. Bamboo is more UI-driven at this time, Jenkins is going in that direction too."

"It will benefit this solution if they keep up to date with other CI/CD systems out there."

"Integrating with certain technologies posed challenges related to time and required support from the respective technology teams to ensure smooth integration with TeamCity."

"The UI for this solution could be improved. New users don't find it easy to navigate. The need some level of training to understand the ins and the outs."

"Last time I used it, dotnet compilation had to be done via PowerShell scripts. There was actually a lot that had to be scripted."

"I would suggest creating simple and advanced configurations. Advanced configurations will give more customizations like Jenkins does."

"If TeamCity could create more out of the box solutions to make it more user friendly and create more use cases, that would be ideal."

"The integration between other solutions and TeamCity could be smoother."

"The upgrade process could be smoother. Upgrading major versions can often cause some pain."

"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 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."

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

"There is a subscription required to use Bamboo."

"The price of Bamboo is reasonable."

"The licensing is on an annual basis."

"Start with the free tier for a few build configs and see how it works for you, then according to your scale find the enterprise license which fits you the most."
