If we are upgrading CI/CD from on-premise, we would need Bitbucket and Bamboo. Atlassian products rely on Jira. Bitbucket and Bamboo are integrated with Jira on-premise. I will recommend the product, but not very strongly. The solution does not have AI features. Continuous deployment is an enormous part of the software development cycle. Bamboo is a suitable solution for on-premise deployments. However, there are other alternatives available in the market. Overall, I rate the product a seven out of ten.
We've never really utilized different tools extensively. Bamboo works efficiently from a management perspective. If you need to inform a developer to deploy a particular version, it handles this task seamlessly. Any potential miscommunication or oversight is mitigated using Bamboo, provided it's correctly configured. It automatically provides the necessary information without excessive emails or phone calls to confirm whether something has been deployed. It's crucial to understand the business process and operations of the client thoroughly. Ultimately, deploying the software aims to fulfill the needs of the business itself. No tool can effectively handle that volume without understanding how the business operates, its expectations, and its processes regarding deploying software into production. Everything begins with understanding the client's business or the business purpose behind the configuration of Bamboo and essentially any step within the development process. Once you grasp this understanding, you can configure Bamboo properly, leveraging its capabilities to support various business processes, which is commendable. The configuration possibilities are pretty endless. It provides space for fewer issues you may experience due to misconfiguration. Any problems are not about the system itself but rather misconfiguration, which can sometimes be hard to identify. The components you wish to deploy haven't been deployed for some reason, and then you must determine why it didn't happen. Overall, I would rate the solution an eight out of ten.

For those who have a suite from Atlassian, my company would prefer them to use Bamboo. My company doesn't want our clients opting for one tool for CI and another tool for ticketing. Generally, we prefer to go with the corresponding solutions offered by a vendor. GitHub is always good, but it is limited as it is a free tool. Bamboo should offer products for free to startups or the first ten users, rather than just thirty days, an approach through which it can hook people. There should always be a free tier of products, and as Bamboo grows, I think its costs would be nothing, considering the value it gives users. I never heard about Bamboo in the past as much as Jira or Confluence. I came to know of Bamboo through meetings or emails in my company with our customers. It doesn't seem like Bamboo is digitally marketed very well. With DevOps becoming popular, products like Bamboo have so much to offer. I rate the overall tool an eight out of ten.

I rate Bamboo a six out of ten. It suits small and medium businesses with brand-new servers, up-to-date operating systems, and good network switches. I would not recommend it for large organizations.
My advice is that if you intend to implement Bamboo, you should consider it as part of a complete DevOps solution. You must think about the other applications natively integrated with it, such as Jira, JSM, and Bitbucket. Bamboo's true power is realized when it is combined with these other solutions from the Atlassian suite. In this way, you can achieve much better value. I rate Bamboo an eight out of ten. I provided my rating of Bamboo based on its strong scalability and overall quality. While its support could be better, its performance is quite robust. However, there is a learning curve to understand how to set it up, making it challenging for new users. Nevertheless, for experienced DevOps engineers, it is pretty straightforward to set up.

I would advise those investigating this solution to start small with a step-by-step approach and adapt as their experience grows. I would suggest that you start with the build, and once you master the build, focus on deployment. It is important to consider whether an on-premise or cloud solution is best suited before getting started.
I am not completely satisfied with this solution. It performs one function well, but it requires so much integration. I would advise others to use a better-integrated system rather than Bamboo. We'll be moving to XebiaLabs, now known as Digital.ai, for production and other environments. XebiaLabs is a bit better than Bamboo in some aspects. I would rate Bamboo a six out of ten. It is okay to use, but there is a lot of room for improvement.
Bamboo is a solution that I recommend, especially for open-source development organizations that use all open-source tools. Atlassian suite is the best partner for such organizations. I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.

I would rate it an eight out of ten. Not a ten because the GUI is old I always have to find the right plugin. My advice to someone considering this solution is that if you have the money, buy it.

We use the cloud deployment model. I'd recommend that solution. Everything structure and systems-wise is quite customizable. I'd rate the solution eight out of ten.
Bamboo is a continuous integration and delivery tool that ties automated builds, tests and releases together in a single workflow. It works great alongside JIRA and Stash providing a fully traceable deployment pipeline.
