Feature-Rich HR Management Tool with Permission Challenges **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Thrifters R. | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** March 18, 2026 **What do you like best about Bamboo?** I find Bamboo really rich in features. Being able to delegate onboarding and offboarding tasks to different people is great. I love that all notes and valuable info for every staff member, and even candidates before they are hired, is stored all in one place. It gives me the power to ensure all tasks are completed and is awesome for keeping records organized. The initial setup was very easy, and it has grown well as we have grown. **What do you dislike about Bamboo?** Sometimes it can be limiting to who can be granted which permissions. Sometimes it would be helpful for people with more than one title to have permissions. **What problems is Bamboo solving and how is that benefiting you?** I use Bamboo to track staff contact info, hiring documents, onboarding tasks, pay info, time off requests, and hour tracking. It centralizes records, ensuring all tasks are completed efficiently. ### 2. Bamboo for CI/CD **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Vishal K. | Full stack developer, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 04, 2025 **What do you like best about Bamboo?** 1. works best with jira, bitbucket, confluence etc, which helps in tracking all the jira issue in a build ,can navigate to bitbucket to see exact commits and stuff in particular build. 2. we can run build parallel across multiple agents , which can be very useful in large teams. 3. Unlike other CI/CD tool bamboo has dedicated deployment projects for each project, which helps in isolating deployment logic from build logic. 4.It has script, custom task, environment variables which can be used to automate specific tasks like pushing certain things over cloud, generating bundles (we had a requirement where we wanted to publish keys to a third party webapp before deploying the code on production, we were able to achieve this in bamboo with the help of scripts ) 5. We can integrate docker to generate images which reduces the deployment time significantly. 6. It's very easy to use anyone with no prior experience with little bit of guidance would be able to use bamboo. 7. It has excellent customer support. 8. we use on daily basis for all our deployment and building artifacts. 9. It is easy to implement providing easy integration with atlassian products. **What do you dislike about Bamboo?** It is server only due to which task are executed on bamboo server itself and not allowed to run on remote agents **What problems is Bamboo solving and how is that benefiting you?** 1.It helps in automatic build creation, running test case and deployment of code across environment without any chances of human errors. 2.It helps in tracking every build to jira issues and commits which help in reducing duplicate work. 3.It has rollback capability to revert changes back if some code is not working in certain environment. 4.We can track versions of build deployed on each environment if in case certain code is working in some environment and not working in other. ### 3. Easy to Navigate on PC and Phone, with No Issues So Far. **Rating:** 3.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Medical Practice | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 24, 2026 **What do you like best about Bamboo?** Bamboo is really easy to navigate.

You can integrate with your repository and add the scripts or stages to execute on commit. It will help in code designs like flake8, black, to follow some best practices, many operations by writing the scripts and to create the builds from the code. **What do you dislike about Bamboo?** I like everything as per my usecase. Nothing to dislike as of now. **What problems is Bamboo solving and how is that benefiting you?** I've worked with splunk projects which is mostly in python and JS code. Bamboo will help in code designs by thriwing errors of flake8, black if any. Also, it checks the app inspect report of splunk app and give failure if any checks are failing. Also, at the end it creates the tar.gz build and upload it to nexus repo in perticular folder structure by automation. ### 6.

Simple and efficient **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Mayna P. | Customer Support Representative, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 08, 2022 **What do you like best about Bamboo?** I mostly use Bamboo to request time off/ sick leaves. It's very easy to use and what I like the most is being able to see everyone's calendar (who's out/ birthdays, etc). **What do you dislike about Bamboo?** When requesting time off, sometimes it's not possible to edit the hours (instead of days) which is not ideal. However, I guess it's just something that our admin could do. **What problems is Bamboo solving and how is that benefiting you?** I mainly use it to request time off so my managers can see my calendar details. ### 10. very full assistence on my deploy **Rating:** 3.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Norberto C. | Software enginer, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** June 14, 2022 **What do you like best about Bamboo?** continuos deploy and continous integration **What do you dislike about Bamboo?** I need more features: integration with others platform **Recommendations to others considering Bamboo:** Take for full continuous integration, inside with scanner code and continous delivery **What problems is Bamboo solving and how is that benefiting you?** Integration life cycle and scan code features ### 11. Bamboo Rocks **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Sports | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 26, 2021 **What do you like best about Bamboo?** It's really easy to track time off, both yours personally as well as other people within your department or even across the whole company. It's great because you work better with other people when you need to collaborate on a project. It's also nice that I can track my pay over the years, as well as my progress job wise. **What do you dislike about Bamboo?** This may be a company specific thing, but I'm not a fan of the fact that it lists birthdays on the front page. I'm not one to share that information myself, so I don't really like that it does it automatically. **What problems is Bamboo solving and how is that benefiting you?** I've realized it makes it easier to collaborate with other people, because I can see when they will be out of the office and I know not to bother them. ### 12. bamboo ci **Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Vivek Kumar S. | Software Engineer, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** May 24, 2022 **What do you like best about Bamboo?** high-quality status, user-friendly, and support for built-in Jira tools. **What do you dislike about Bamboo?** complicated than established tools , less plugins **What problems is Bamboo solving and how is that benefiting you?** continuous-integration and management ### 13. Useful and convenient set of tools for Continuous Integration and Continuous Deployment . **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Herman R. | Java Software Engineer Trainee, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 25, 2021 **What do you like best about Bamboo?** It was great to find out that there are Jira and git branching workflow integration as well as test automation without any additional plugins. The bamboo server can easily automatically detect and merge branches, as well as build and run tests. All it allows to deploy code continuously to production or staging servers based on the branch name. **What do you dislike about Bamboo?** Maybe I am not so experienced but I didn't find any helpless features while using Bamboo. Also, I didn't have experience of address to the support services because I have experience of work with the Bamboo server only as a user, and when I had any questions I asked my teammates and that was enough. **Recommendations to others considering Bamboo:** The only advice that I can make - don't waste your time and switch to the Bamboo server as soon as possible. Especially if now you are using Jenkins or any other service like it. Bamboo provides you with a much more convenient set of tools for continuous integration and continuous deployment. **What problems is Bamboo solving and how is that benefiting you?** Bamboo helps to save a lot of time. Before Bamboo, it took at least 3-5 hours to perform the whole cycle of build and deploy. Now it takes no more than half an hour to make the same build of a project. And even more. While using the Bamboo server you don't need to waste your time setting up and configuring additional plugins for example for automated testing. This and many other features are available out of the box. And it is very convenient, as far as I think. ### 14.

It can surprised you! If you use Jira, that integrations is great also. **What problems is Bamboo solving and how is that benefiting you?** Parallel tests, i didn't need to use a script to do that, but with the jobs in Bamboo i can use others machines to run the tests ### 16. Build,test,integration and deploy your apps. **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer Software | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 02, 2020 **What do you like best about Bamboo?** In our organization, we use Bamboo for continuous integration and continuous deployment. Using this we save a lot of time. Almost all things related to building, testing, integration, and deployment can be automated here. **What do you dislike about Bamboo?** The agents used for building our applications sometimes take a lot of time to start. I have faced my build to be in Queue waiting for the agent to came online. **Recommendations to others considering Bamboo:** This software is highly recommendable for especially Continuous integration-Continuous Deployment CI/CD **What problems is Bamboo solving and how is that benefiting you?** From time to time I have given feedback regarding the issue I have faced so far.

Gets you started quickly but you'll need more than Bamboo to do your CI **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Nils P. | DevOps Engineering Manager, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 22, 2019 **What do you like best about Bamboo?** Visibility into the build process and separating deployments from builds is great. We like the seamless integration with JIRA and Bitbucket. **What do you dislike about Bamboo?** Some of the concepts are slightly confusing and the integrations aren't really clear. You can kick off build releases in JIRA, but they only trigger build plans, never deployment plans, for example **Recommendations to others considering Bamboo:** Make sure you model your continuous integration and how your different projects build and deploy together, before starting. Don't go into all the details but have a general idea. Then take that into a first prototype and improve as you go. Make sure you immediately start with Java-based configuration instead of UI-driven configuration, so you'll be able to easily track changes and roll back/review new build plans. **What problems is Bamboo solving and how is that benefiting you?** For the most part we wanted to have a centralized build mechanism that is not command-line based, and insights into build successes, which tests run and fail, and an ability to access the build artifacts easily. Later we started using it to start deploying those build artifacts into local network instances and further down the road into cloud instances. ### 19.

Out of the box. Well, you have to migrate to a proper database (the default installation uses an embedded H2/HSQL), but even that is not a hussle. There's a log analyzer that reports on the health of the server. Automatic backups on your schedule. The distinction between build and deployment projects and artifact sharing. Support for multiple deployment environments and tracking the deployed versions/builds for each environment. Agent infrastructure, so you can have build agents on different platforms. Great maven integration. Plenty of add-ons for integrating with peripheral tools such as SonarQube, Artifactory, npm etc. **What do you dislike about Bamboo?** Not much. Not zero, zilch, zip, nada, nothing, nil or null, but so little it does not directly come to mind. **Recommendations to others considering Bamboo:** 1. Nice set of features for Maven and npm builds. 2. Plenty of add-ons on the Atlassian market-place, most free. 3. Administration is straight-forward. 4. Build and failed build RSS feeds can be consumed by monitoring software. 5. Buy agent licenses if you need to build for multiple platforms (e.g., if your main platform is Linux and Java and you have installed Bamboo on Linux, to build .NET projects you'll need an agent on a Windows server, to build IOS apps you'll need an agent on a Mac) **What problems is Bamboo solving and how is that benefiting you?** We have Java and Node.JS code to Kubernetes deployment pipelines in place for multiple projects and use Bamboo for continuous integration and delivery. The pipelines involve package publishing on Maven or npm and SonarQube analysis. We use Atlassian BitBucket (git repo, formerly Atlassian Stash) for source code control and they fit like a hand and a glove. The mobile team also runs their builds on Bamboo, we have a dedicated Mac Bamboo agent for iPhone builds. ### 28.

Easiest tool for automated deployment **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Information Technology and Services | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** February 24, 2019 **What do you like best about Bamboo?** The customization of when to deploy, and the ability to add steps to your deployment plan **What do you dislike about Bamboo?** Error logging is mostly dependant on user input and logging statements **What problems is Bamboo solving and how is that benefiting you?** Automated deployment and multiple synchronous environments at the click of a button ### 32. BAMBOO REVIEW **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Valentina D. | Logistics Coordinator, Financial Services, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** June 14, 2018 **What do you like best about Bamboo?** YOU CAN TRACK YOUR HOURS WORKED AND ASK FOR VACATION DAYS. ITS ALL CALCULATED! **What do you dislike about Bamboo?** NOTHING. I REALLY LIKE THE PROGRAM. IT DOES THE WORK AND IS EASY TO USE. **Recommendations to others considering Bamboo:** BEST PROGRAM EVER TO TRACK EMPLOYEES **What problems is Bamboo solving and how is that benefiting you?** QUICK RESPONSE RATE FROM THE COMPANY ### 33. End to end solution for release management **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Information Technology and Services | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** June 03, 2018 **What do you like best about Bamboo?** It's super easy once everything is set by your administrator. You can be sure of the continuous delivery of your builds irrespective of the size of your team. **What do you dislike about Bamboo?** Initial setup can be a hassle but that depends a lot on skill of your administrator. **What problems is Bamboo solving and how is that benefiting you?** Continuous delivery is a major benefit I realized after implementing Bamboo in my team's environment. ### 34. A reliable build and test server. **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Simon P. | Principal Software Engineer, Information Technology and Services, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 03, 2018 **What do you like best about Bamboo?** Bamboo is very reliable, and requires very little maintenance. Once workflows are configured, it just works. **What do you dislike about Bamboo?** Lack of progress on .net and Perforce support. **Recommendations to others considering Bamboo:** If you use Perforce be aware Bamboo does not support streams. **What problems is Bamboo solving and how is that benefiting you?** Increase the reliability of our software and development time with continuous integration. A central repository with build and test result history. ### 35. Flexible and simple CI/CD tool, espeically with Atlassian stack **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Patrick L. | Chief Technology Officer, Computer Software, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** June 09, 2017 **What do you like best about Bamboo?** Integration with Atlassian stack, you can: * view builds and releases that are related to specific issues * run builds by releasing out of JIRA directly * display build/deploy reports in JIRA and Confluence * view code changes and reviews that are related to your builds It also has excellent support for Maven out of box, making it very easy to: * configure build plans for projects that use Maven * release codes that uses the Maven release plugin There are also 3rd party add-ons you can use (for on-prem) for things it does not support out of box, or if you want, create your own add-ons. **What do you dislike about Bamboo?** Outside of Maven, its support for other build tools is not as good. Especially when it comes to making releases. Because it uses the maven-release plugin, there are some "magic" it uses, which is not available in other tools, and you will end up writing command line scripts to work around it to have the same result. **Recommendations to others considering Bamboo:** If you are using Atlassian products and Maven, Bamboo is the perfect CI/CD solution for you. **What problems is Bamboo solving and how is that benefiting you?** End to end build automation and deploying to various environments with different configurations. Allows for a streamlined build, release, deploy cycle. ### 36. Build Automation for the Win **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Matthew C. | Principal Systems Engineer, Defense & Space, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 26, 2017 **What do you like best about Bamboo?** The basic build automation process, though not flashy, is probably the biggest win for us. One of the specific features we rely on is the ability for our Bamboo build process to parse Junit report outputs. We have written a number of validation tests that are executed during the validation portion of our builds. Note that that may not be novel from a software perspective, but we also have a number of configuration repositories against which we also run these validation steps to identify errors in the configuration and/or changes that should not have been made. **What do you dislike about Bamboo?** We work with a separate team responsible for the actual configuration and behind-the-scenes work, so from where we sit there are a few things that just "magically" work or fail horribly. Something that we have had difficulty with is parsing the captured output during the build process. Often we find stdout and stderr messages not being captured and viewable in the web interface. This usually results in "big stick" poking about to try to resolve the issue versus more targeted resolution that cleaner logs would allow. **Recommendations to others considering Bamboo:** We've really benefited from the Build Automation and CI/CD capabilities of Bamboo and it's integration with our Bitbucket and GitHub repositories. I recommend this for folks looking for a CI/CD solution. **What problems is Bamboo solving and how is that benefiting you?** We've seen a significant improvement in our ability to track and resolve build issues as well as managing build artifacts. Previously, we were relying on manual builds with moderate success. Being able to tie automation into our build process has really made a difference. We regularly utilize the "Latest Successful" build artifacts in our process and we've been able to avoid introducing errors on multiple occasions. ### 37. The company I work for uses Bamboo for its Continuous Integration efforts. **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Jason R. | Senior Software Engineer, E-Learning, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 20, 2016 **What do you like best about Bamboo?** What I like best about Bamboo is the nice user interface and how easy it is to use and understand. **What do you dislike about Bamboo?** One thing that I think they could improve on is easier integration with other tools like HipTest. **Recommendations to others considering Bamboo:** I recommend you compare this product to other like it and decide what best works for you. I like that Bamboo is easy to use and looks nice from a user's point-of-view. **What problems is Bamboo solving and how is that benefiting you?** My company uses Bamboo to build upon commits to our Bitbucket repository, run unit tests and deploy to our various test, staging, and production environments. To have Bamboo build our projects after each commit and run the unit tests allows us to catch bugs early on to save time and money. This benefits our developers, QA analysts, and the company as a whole. ### 38. Simple CI **Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Yashas J S. | Graduate Student Intern, Information Technology and Services, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 23, 2016 **What do you like best about Bamboo?** Bamboo has a painless installation process, helpful quick-start guide, simple build configuration, and seamless integration with JIRA. Bamboo supports builds in any programming language using any build tool, including Ant, Maven, Make, and any command-line tools. Polling strategy can be easily configured and scheduled. It comes with configuration templates like ANT, Bundler and so on. Support provided is real good and integrates with other IDEs easily. **What do you dislike about Bamboo?** Does come with lesser plugins and its not very flexible. Bamboo is really limited for a modern day tool, that too for a CI tool, where things aren't done from scratch. **Recommendations to others considering Bamboo:** If you are already using Atlassian products like Jira, stash, Confluence etc, then it makes sense to use Bamboo. Bamboo will integrate closely with other products in Atlassian ecosystem. Installation of java prior to setting up of bamboo is required, going through documentation could be helpful. **What problems is Bamboo solving and how is that benefiting you?** I required to a tool to ensure that whenever code is committed to the repository, new changes integrate well into the existing code base and build, unit tests and integration tests are performed. Bamboo did all this ### 39. Bamboo - enabling continuous delivery **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Kevin F. | Scrum Master - Sr. IT Project Coordinator, Insurance, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 19, 2016 **What do you like best about Bamboo?** This product is very easy to use and can easily be configured. The tool allows both developers, and non-developers insight into the currently deployed WAR file. We have many apps, each with various environments. Bamboo allows the QA team to easily deploy the desired code base. **What do you dislike about Bamboo?** The build plans seems to fail quite frequently. This occurs for no apparent reason. If it fails once, we will attempt to deploy again. Usually after 2-3 times it will work, **Recommendations to others considering Bamboo:** Easy to configure Easy to use Clean UI Easy permission controls integrated with other Atlassian products such as JIRA **What problems is Bamboo solving and how is that benefiting you?** This tool allows the team to easily deploy to any environment in rapid time. It enables continuous delivery easy to implement blue green enabling 0 down time ### 40. Can't live without it now that I use it for build and deploy! **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Eric M. | Principal System Architect, Telecommunications, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** June 24, 2016 **What do you like best about Bamboo?** The integrations with the other Atlassian tools (BitBucket, JIRA, and Confluence) work with no effort, right out of the box. The ability to set fine-grain access control for the deployment phase for each target environment is great. As a public company, being subject to SOX compliance requirements means things such as segregation of duties (no developers deploying to PROD if the application can influence financial reporting). My developers have access to deploy via Bamboo to DEV, but a release engineer can only deploy to PROD. **What do you dislike about Bamboo?** The configuration of authentication against an LDAP source (such as AD) is a bit clunky compared to the other Atlassian tools. It requires you to configure the user directory source via config files without much direction compared to JIRA and Confluence which you can do it right in the web interface. Even myself being a CLI guy and coder, I would still prefer they were consistent with the other tools. One big feature that Bamboo is missing is the ability to create a git tag after a successful build against trunk (which is basically a release candidate). Jenkins has this feature out of the box from what I have read. There isn't even a plugin available on the marketplace to do this. One feature I wish it had is tight integration with Ansible for the deployment phase. Right now I just use a script task for deployment which calls the Ansible playbook to execute the complex, multi-tier deployment with rolling upgrades. Ansible requires SSH authN to the target nodes; if I use the out of the box SSH plugin in Bamboo, I can store the private key within Bamboo, even with a passphrase. If I run Ansible as a script task for the deployment, I can't use the SSH key/passphrase feature of bamboo. **Recommendations to others considering Bamboo:** The price is reasonable and well worth it if you already an Atlassian customer using their other tools and want the integration. Jenkins may be enough if you don't care about the integrations. **What problems is Bamboo solving and how is that benefiting you?** Consistent builds and automated deployment to all environments (DEV/UAT/PROD). Continuous Deployment in DEV, and push-button deployment in non-DEV by a release engineer (due to segregation of duties requirements). 0 manual steps required other than pushing the button for the deployment. ### 41. Great flexibility and well-rounded popularity and connectivity to other Atlassian products **Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Joseph T. | Front-End Developer, Financial Services, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** May 11, 2015 **What do you like best about Bamboo?** Easily configurable for project granularity. For example, I can define the relevant git repository's branch to a build project/job, provide the necessary build tasks with lots of different executables and scripts, and segregate the build from the release stage with parallel jobs for only specific users or groups. Lots of popular language integrations with multiple notification methods and great integration with other Atlassian products. **What do you dislike about Bamboo?** Free only for first 7 days (as of June 25, 2015), although for only $10/mo for 10 jobs for 1 remote agent, it's a solid option for those ready to use enterprise-ready tools like Bamboo and its brothers and sisters of Atlassian products. I hope that there becomes a greater focus for mobile applications. **Recommendations to others considering Bamboo:** For enterprise ready Continuous Integration tool, Bamboo is a great choice paired with other Atlassian products. **What problems is Bamboo solving and how is that benefiting you?** Fast and contiguous partitioning of build and deployment tasks. Bamboo is a chiefly a continuous integration tool, but it does great in assisting with deployment issues and segregating build tasks to allow you to debug your code. Automated merging of branches is also a great feature. ### 42. Great CI by Atlasssian **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Antonino Francesco M. | iOS Software Engineer, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** May 19, 2016 **What do you like best about Bamboo?** Really nice integrations with Atlassian products, especially with JIRA and Bitbucket Server. Offers an intuitive UI. Bamboo supports builds in any programming language using Ant, Maven, Make etc. It's cheap. **What do you dislike about Bamboo?** Documentation is hard to get to. The logs from the build servers can be really cryptic. Does not have a large community to provide plugins like jenkins. **What problems is Bamboo solving and how is that benefiting you?** Build and deploy, this product helps us obtaining our continuous integration and delivery goal. ### 43. Bamboo is great for CI/CD workflows **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Marc S. | VP Product Development, Information Services, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** May 11, 2016 **What do you like best about Bamboo?** The #1 feature of Bamboo for me is the integration with the rest of the Atlassian suite of products. It's essentially a simple, one-click add-on to my current infrastructure, which consists of JIRA, Bitbucket & Confluence. Setting up any number of build plans in Bamboo was super easy & quick, and integrating tests into those builds was also easy (and very useful). It helps us keep our manual QA costs down. Also - as with all Atlassian products - it's cheap. :) **What do you dislike about Bamboo?** As with a lot of the Atlassian products (in my opinion), it's sometimes hard to get a good answer to questions for things. For example, i don't think the overall documentation online is the greatest - I don't always want to reach out to a support person for answers. **What problems is Bamboo solving and how is that benefiting you?** Getting build automation into our team's workflow was our main goal, but creating/automating tests was integral in freeing time that we were spending on manually QA'ing various parts of our applications. ### 44. Enterprise-level CI/CD Workflows **Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Jonathan K. | Senior Engineering Manager, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** March 17, 2016 **What do you like best about Bamboo?** As with all Atlassian products, the best part of Bamboo is the integration into their full suite of software. Getting started with Bamboo from a Stash or Bitbucket code repo is as simple as clicking a button, and all downstream changes are immediately tracked and updated. Atlassian has made a huge effort to ensure that the dashboards to monitor build and deployment plans are both useful and informative, and it has paid off in a big way. Users can start, stop, change, monitor, create and delete plans from the push of a single button. Overall, Bamboo is great at: * Rapidly setting up build plans * Being a central hub into all activity your company is a part of * Offering an intuitive UI * Allowing power-users to set up powerful CI/CD pipelines * Unit testing FTW **What do you dislike about Bamboo?** After setting up several build and deployment plans using Bamboo, there are a few areas where this product could be improved: * Documentation is hard to get to, and not always relevant to actual questions you may have about the product. * A lot of the underworkings are a black box, which makes it difficult to work with. * No clear right or wrong way to do things, despite being a enterprise product. * Tasks cannot be put in if/else statements * No good way to link successful builds to other builds **Recommendations to others considering Bamboo:** If you have already bought in to the Atlassian product suite, there is no better CI/CD product than Bamboo. However, make sure your entire team has training from Atlassian to understand how they will fit in the toolchain of your work, or else you run the risk of creating build plans that are detrimental to your future work. **What problems is Bamboo solving and how is that benefiting you?** Bamboo has completely changed the way that my team works, for the better. We used to rely heavily on stress testing and manual QA which was extremely time consuming and error-prone. Now, we are able to commit code and have automated deployments happen, and be assured that we are not breaking anything due to unit testing build into Bamboo. Our deployments have gone from once a week to several times per hour, letting our company be more agile in meeting our stakeholder demands. ### 45. Great to use with Atlassian stack **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Erik B. | Web Developer, Computer Software, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** March 16, 2016 **What do you like best about Bamboo?** Can assign build agents based on requirements Granularity of build plans, branch builds, jobs and tasks provides a lot of flexibility Drill down from a nice UI into a raw log file. Really nice integrations with Atlassian products, especially JIRA and Stash. See the commit that is building and the story associated with that commit really easily. The build monitors and HTML tags features are really useful, but any build system worth it's salt implements these. **What do you dislike about Bamboo?** The way it's configured, end users do not have admin rights to the build servers, and this causes endless difficulties. Our company has so many products that it is very slow to load some pages because they have so many entries. I've always found the deployments section hard to use, but this might just be because we use Bamboo with Nolio from CA, which is a terrible product. The logs from the build servers can be really cryptic and hard to sift through. It is often hard for me to tell if the build is broken because the code I wrote is broken or because of a problem with the build server. **Recommendations to others considering Bamboo:** The biggest win is integrations with Atlassian products and managing deployments. Other than that, it doesn't do much more for you than something like Jenkins. **What problems is Bamboo solving and how is that benefiting you?** Building independently of local architecture on developer's machine, verifying code portability, deploying build artifacts from artifactory. Running Sonar static code analysis on a nightly basis, which calculates code coverage and complexity hotspots. ### 46. Super easy setup great reports, gerat CI Tool **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Milan S. | Technical Architect, Financial Services, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 15, 2016 **What do you like best about Bamboo?** Great integration with JIRA and confluence, Ease to sea reports, Notifications and failure reports Easy to create multiple plans, build integration and que well integration with GIT **What do you dislike about Bamboo?** UI can be more simpler, Logs displayed can be more intutive, should have filters and good log viewer **Recommendations to others considering Bamboo:** Make sure you setup correct email triggers else you can be spammed by bamboo email triggers, Great tool, make sure to intigrate with JIRA and confluence. **What problems is Bamboo solving and how is that benefiting you?** We had multiple teams working on the the same code base so we wanted a good CI and well defined plans and triggers to make sure bad code is not commited, Bamboo helped us to execute the build on specific triggers making sure they are compliant ### 47. Decent CD tool **Rating:** 3.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Information Technology and Services | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 18, 2016 **What do you like best about Bamboo?** Clean UI, good high-level job monitoring. Very responsive actions, no hiccups or freezes. **What do you dislike about Bamboo?** A little confusing getting to a specific running job from the main job list, I often find myself looking at the previously-completed job instead of the currently running one. **Recommendations to others considering Bamboo:** If you are on Github, don't bother -- Go with Travis. **What problems is Bamboo solving and how is that benefiting you?** We use Bamboo for all of our continuous deployment. It's a simple way to build specific environments when we push to specific branches. ### 48. user for sharepoint on primse 2007 **Rating:** 1.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Bilal M. | Technology Leader Ecommerce, Business Intelligence, & SharePoint, Hospitality, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 24, 2016 **What do you like best about Bamboo?** It was easy to implement. However not very intuitive to start with. **What do you dislike about Bamboo?** Difficult to start. Did not deal with large processes in an efficient manner. Performance issues. **Recommendations to others considering Bamboo:** Make sure to use it thoroughly before purchasing it. You don't know if it meets the requirement until you use for few business processes **What problems is Bamboo solving and how is that benefiting you?** Used it for Workflows for internal and external vendor approvals ### 49. Great beginner CI/CD platform. **Rating:** 2.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer Software | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 08, 2016 **What do you like best about Bamboo?** Bamboo has great integration with the rest of the Atlassian stack (JIRA, Bitbucket, etc...). It was really simple to setup those connections. **What do you dislike about Bamboo?** Inability to define jobs as code. Everything is declarative, which is great when you're learning but not if you have multiple jobs that share the same properties with small variances. **What problems is Bamboo solving and how is that benefiting you?** Continuous Deployment/Integration/Delivery. Faster Quality Assurance. ### 50. powerful CI/CD tool **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Zhiyuan (Max) C. | Independent Consultant - DevOps, Information Technology and Services, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** March 18, 2016 **What do you like best about Bamboo?** can integrate with Jira and stash seamless. can manage artifacts and deployment targets (environment) can manage the version of each release. **What do you dislike about Bamboo?** not open sourced. Does not have a large community to provide plugins like jenkins. sometime they are slow to fix some bugs. **Recommendations to others considering Bamboo:** if you are tired to choose plugins for Jenkins for features that are not buildin. Try Bamboo, it will give you a peace mind. **What problems is Bamboo solving and how is that benefiting you?** Build and deploy. we switch from jenkins to bamboo for it's better integration with stash. and the agents can be installed on remote network (behind firewall) to do the deployment jobs!!! ## Bamboo Discussions - [What is the cost to upgrade my Bamboo Server license to a higher tier?](https://www.g2.com/discussions/what-is-the-cost-to-upgrade-my-bamboo-server-license-to-a-higher-tier) - 1 comment, 1 upvote - [View Bamboo pricing details and edition comparison](https://www.g2.com/products/bamboo/reviews?section=pricing&secure%5Bexpires_at%5D=2026-05-13+21%3A18%3A37+-0500&secure%5Bsession_id%5D=344b797b-c27b-4f5b-8c85-f99eee400310&secure%5Btoken%5D=1ddc742ed4c706a7d7248915f5272fa244d4b8dfcef2b1095c834ffa43f55708&format=llm_user) ## Bamboo Integrations - [Bitbucket](https://www.g2.com/products/bitbucket/reviews) - [Jira](https://www.g2.com/products/jira/reviews) ## Bamboo Features **Functionality** - Deployment-Ready Staging - Integration - Extensible **Functionality** - Integrations - Extensibility - Test Customization **Management** - Processes and Workflow - Reporting - Automation **Management** - Automation - Processes and Workflow - Reporting **Agentic AI - Continuous Integration** - Autonomous Task Execution - Cross-system Integration - Adaptive Learning - Natural Language Interaction - Proactive Assistance **Agentic AI - Continuous Delivery** - Autonomous Task Execution - Cross-system Integration - Adaptive Learning - Natural Language Interaction - Proactive Assistance ## Top Bamboo Alternatives - [Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform](https://www.g2.com/products/red-hat-ansible-automation-platform/reviews) - 4.6/5.0 (369 reviews) - [TeamCity](https://www.g2.com/products/teamcity/reviews) - 4.3/5.0 (87 reviews) - [AWS CodePipeline](https://www.g2.com/products/aws-codepipeline/reviews) - 4.3/5.0 (61 reviews)
