If you works with tests you can use the jobs in Bamboo to run your tests in parallel Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The same plan configuration is used for other branch build, it would be nice if we could create a different plan for different branch plan Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Visibility into the build process and separating deployments from builds is great. We like the seamless integration with JIRA and Bitbucket. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
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 Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The video tutorials and documentation are very limited for bamboo. They can add more training videos. Also sometimes when the bamboo is down it becomes very hard to manage the automation plan. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The most thing I like more about Bamboo is that it is very easy to create steps for a build plan. You have a lot of options you can use during the creation of a plan. You can add task of many types, like: Ant, Tomcat, Docker, Gulp, Maven and more others... For sure the most important is the integration with Git. Very useful to configure build for repositories. One thing I love is the direct link to the artifact that the build has produced. You can download it locally when the build is finished. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Sometimes it stuck when you try to stop a build and you have to refresh the page to continue. I get this issue more than one time. It can be just an issue but it is not so rare to found it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don't have any complain regarding the bamboo current features. The bamboo consumes the lot of memory so it hangs and misbehave sometimes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Continuous integration is very useful. The product is very user-friendly, with a lot of accessible custom flow, release management and code. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It is possible to use only the reports in the software. According to the specific projects, users can create their own. Bugs can also be added to tracking function. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Very clunking and not very userfriendly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It works. 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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Not much. Not zero, zilch, zip, nada, nothing, nil or null, but so little it does not directly come to mind. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Atlassian Bamboo is great and very easy in configuring the integration and deployment plans.
Atlassian provides all the features documented over the cloud.
It is finely integrated with other atlassian products like HipChat, Confluence, Bitbucket, etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
memory management seems poorly implemented, since it piles up the heap space frequently.
Sometimes it hangs and goes out of memory as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
- Can automate a wide variety of builds
- Easy to setup in aws
- Easily integrates with our on-prem servers Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
- Can be slow at times with how it integrates with our ldap service
- Restarts itself randomly at imes Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Initial setup can be a hassle but that depends a lot on skill of your administrator. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
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.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
What I like best about Bamboo is the nice user interface and how easy it is to use and understand. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
One thing that I think they could improve on is easier integration with other tools like HipTest. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
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, Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
