It offers first-class support for the "delivery" aspect of continuous delivery, tying automated builds, tests, and releases together in a single, integrated workflow. Bamboo gives developers, testers, build engineers, and system administrators a common space to work and share information – while still keeping sensitive operations like production deploys locked down. Got Git? Bamboo puts branches under test automatically, as well as merges and deploys them according to your team’s processes. And because Bamboo is from Atlassian, it boasts the best Bitbucket and JIRA Software integration available.

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!!! ### 2. Use this to verify our builds of our compiled javascript and less for a salesforce app **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Staffing and Recruiting | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** June 14, 2016 **What do you like best about Bamboo?** Works really well and shows the problem very efficiently **What do you dislike about Bamboo?** Everything works as intended, I haven't had a issue worth reporting **Recommendations to others considering Bamboo:** This is really a great product. We also use all the other atlassian products so we may have some bias **What problems is Bamboo solving and how is that benefiting you?** We have noticed this will compile the necessary files correctly and let us know if someone added a custom label in salesforce without putting it in the package.xml and will show an error without deploying from our dev environment to our test environment ### 3. Bamboo review **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Yidi K. | Software Engineer, Insurance, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 18, 2016 **What do you like best about Bamboo?** Easy to setup by adding different projects. This product is modularized, you can configure the product many ways as you want. Lots of plugin support. Versatile. Excellent CI support **What do you dislike about Bamboo?** It is very sluggish to load pages because they have so many entries. Turns buggy if more traffic flows in. There is no way to link other builds to other builds **What problems is Bamboo solving and how is that benefiting you?** CI workflow. This product helps us obtaining our continuous integration and delivery goal. ### 4. bamboo for automated testing **Rating:** 2.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer Software | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 24, 2016 **What do you like best about Bamboo?** scheduled nightlies can view all results easily **What do you dislike about Bamboo?** lack of support for specifying requirements as variables resulting in having to duplicate plans for each platform **Recommendations to others considering Bamboo:** is good for simple nightly builds. not ideal if require multi-platforms need a lot of manual workaround **What problems is Bamboo solving and how is that benefiting you?** automated testing easily schedule nightly builds ### 5. Use it for continuous builds **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer Software | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 24, 2016 **What do you like best about Bamboo?** Pretty much set and forget; our system is pretty simple so it has been working well so far **What do you dislike about Bamboo?** Not much; needing to pay instead of running our own scripts? **What problems is Bamboo solving and how is that benefiting you?** Continuously build instead of customized solution that needs to be tweaked all the time. Nice dashboards. Yes. ### 6. Bamboo is the best deployment tool ever **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Gabriele R. | Magento Architect, PHP Lead, Mobile Solution Architect, Information Technology and Services, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 19, 2016 **What do you like best about Bamboo?** I used Bamboo and all the Atlassian stack to set up an ecommerce based on Magento. We were using the AWS stack and Bamboo was the best choice that I ever made. The set up into a Amazon cloud is very good, the control panel is very clear and also the configuration was pretty straightforward. Managing Test servers and productions was very easy. Deploy into an AWS with multiple servers was very easy and the doc were very detailed. **What do you dislike about Bamboo?** The Setup of the first deploy task is not so intuitive, needs time to understand all the different options and how to use them. Amazon should publish screencast-doc only for developers to how to setup a basic deploy. **Recommendations to others considering Bamboo:** Very recommended. Try to hire a AWS certified Sysadmin to set up the system first. **What problems is Bamboo solving and how is that benefiting you?** We were using AWS stack and Altaissan Stack to set up an ecommerce based on Magento. Bamboo was used to deploy on test servers and production automatically and did a great job. ### 7. Bamboo, a great solution for developers **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Jose E. | Software Developer, Information Technology and Services, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 18, 2016 **What do you like best about Bamboo?** I liked how it didn't force you to use a predefined IDE. I had the option to choose my IDE. Of course I went for Microsoft Visual Studio. During my time using bamboo, it was evident how they always have the developer in mind. They have great compatibility with source controls systems such as GIT and SVN. **What do you dislike about Bamboo?** I felt that the 7 days free trial was way too short. I started to like Bamboo way later. It is not the type of environments that you start to like the first time you use it. **Recommendations to others considering Bamboo:** Bamboo is a good option when you have to build multiple times and work with compiled programming languages. If you work with C# or Java(interpreted programming languages), then do not go for Bamboo. **What problems is Bamboo solving and how is that benefiting you?** We forced our VPS to multiple builds in very short time periods, and the lifespan of it was shortened. With Bamboo, we not only had the option for multiple and efficient builds, we had the capability to use source control revision systems(mainly git). ### 8. Bamboo Review **Rating:** 2.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer Software | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 12, 2016 **What do you like best about Bamboo?** It performs continuous integration and it's better than TeamCity. Some of the reporting features are nice and it integrates quickly with Jira for PM tools. **What do you dislike about Bamboo?** I haven't used it in a while, but the GitHub integration was not very good, and overall, for a paid product, there are much better free or cheaper resources out there. **Recommendations to others considering Bamboo:** Use Travis CI. It's easier and cheaper and has much better integrations with GitHub or even Hosted GitHub. **What problems is Bamboo solving and how is that benefiting you?** Implement Continuous Integration for a suite of apps developed in-house, running on Git. ### 9. Deployment Software **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Information Technology and Services | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** June 01, 2016 **What do you like best about Bamboo?** It makes deployment easy and promote the latest code to QA with ease, just with a click of a button. It easy to back track changes as well **What do you dislike about Bamboo?** Havent found anything which I particularly disliked with this tool or need a feature to be added as of now **What problems is Bamboo solving and how is that benefiting you?** Easy to use, Deployment is completed within minutes. Logs changes ### 10. Decent alternative to Jenkins with good Jira integration **Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Internet | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** March 06, 2016 **What do you like best about Bamboo?** Bamboo is easy to setup by adding different project and plans. It also scales up well to manage multiple build agents. The Jira integration is a nice bonus. **What do you dislike about Bamboo?** Although apparently simple on the surface, the UI is actually quite tricky to navigate. I found that there's quite a deep level of nesting of settings. **Recommendations to others considering Bamboo:** Evaluate whether this solves your needs or whether Jenkins might also achieve that. Bamboo is a good choice if you already have Atlassian products in your stack. **What problems is Bamboo solving and how is that benefiting you?** Bamboo helps us achieve our continuous integration and delivery goals in a convenient manner. ### 11. awesome CI tool; becomes even better with other confluence products **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Bhakti M. | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** February 14, 2016 **What do you like best about Bamboo?** super integration with JIRA and other confluence products, easy to deploy and manage **What do you dislike about Bamboo?** Notifications can be better, more options to be made available to end users to let them know how to do it. **Recommendations to others considering Bamboo:** make sure to use it with other atlasian products **What problems is Bamboo solving and how is that benefiting you?** We had multiple teams working together on a huge application, so CI builds made sure faster development and testing ### 12. Simple and Easy Build Server **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer Software | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 10, 2016 **What do you like best about Bamboo?** Bamboo integrates very nicely with the rest of the Atlassian Suite of products such as FishEye and Crucible. It's also very easy to use. I am predominately a developer and not a scrum master or maintainer of the Atlassian projects in my company's role. However, I can easily go into the Bamboo console and start off a build manually if I need to. **What do you dislike about Bamboo?** While it can be a free product, it is only free for minimal functionality. After that there is a charge. **Recommendations to others considering Bamboo:** There is a lot more that Bamboo can offer than what I described in my review. I would recommend reading more into the documentation provided by Atlassian to get the most out of the product. If you don't know if you would find Bamboo useful, they do have a free trial version that allows you try some of the features before signing up for a paid tier. **What problems is Bamboo solving and how is that benefiting you?** Bamboo allows us to set up scheduled builds that occur at a particular time in the middle of the night (as to not disturb any developers that are testing against a particular server). This has automated the build process and saved us a lot of time when testing new builds. We get detailed logs and information when a particular build fails. ### 13. Bamboo Review **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer Games | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 02, 2016 **What do you like best about Bamboo?** Works perfectly fine with Atlassian Stash/BitBucket Server. Really nice web interface. **What do you dislike about Bamboo?** Unclear log files. Only a few plugins. Involves a lot of scrolling if you have many projects. **Recommendations to others considering Bamboo:** If you use one Atlassian tool use the other ones too. **What problems is Bamboo solving and how is that benefiting you?** Building and deploying using Stash (git) and Bamboo. Fast and efficient. ### 14. Tight integration with Jira and Stash **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Dale J. | Technical Team Leader - Software Development, Information Technology and Services, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 24, 2016 **What do you like best about Bamboo?** Tight integration with Jira and Stash Branching and pull requests **What do you dislike about Bamboo?** Bland user interface, poor dashboards and user feedback. **Recommendations to others considering Bamboo:** If you use JIra or Stash this is the product for you. **What problems is Bamboo solving and how is that benefiting you?** It allows us to have a feature branching model and improve software quality. ### 15. Bamboo enthusiast **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Gretchen J. | DevOps, Banking, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** May 01, 2015 **What do you like best about Bamboo?** It's easy to use for easy things. Fortunately most of what I do is easy. It's harder to do harder things but in most cases it is possible to work within the constraints of the system. The documentation is pretty good once you figure out where it is. Support is excellent. I have used Bamboo for several years now and each time I have had to get Atlassian involved in a support issue they have been very helpful. Perhaps once, I've gotten a guy that I knew more than he did. The bottom line is that if you can script it you can do it in Bamboo. Love the integration with JIRA and Fisheye. **What do you dislike about Bamboo?** The organization of the gui is meh. I have a lot of plans and spend much of my day scrolling down to find the build or deployment I need to engage. This is particularly true of deployments since there is no "project" grouping mechanism as there is in the build "side"of Bamboo. Deployments functionality is getting better though it still has room for improvement. The documentation on Deployments is still lacking to a degree and the REST API for deployments could improve. I'd like to see more ability to report on activity. How many builds did I do over all during the last x days. How many deployments did I do over the last X days. What is the break down by environment. Get a rest link to the last build log file (this may exist, but I haven't found it in the documentation yet). I wish there was a mechanism for prompting users for variable values at runtime. And to display build execution instructions (or deployment instructions). These are the only things that is are real hindrances to me. **Recommendations to others considering Bamboo:** Set your expections and identify resources. Bamboo can do anything Jenkins can do as far as I know. You get the added integration benefits from other Atlassian tools. The tool isn't the thing though. It is the knowledge of your developers, configuration management users, and operation people who will make your Bamboo implementation successful. Bamboo at it's most basic is a scaffold onto which you add the pieces of your build. You still need to write the scripts that make the objects move around the network. You have to know how to build your application and how to translate those instructions to the plugins that you use in Bamboo. **What problems is Bamboo solving and how is that benefiting you?** Build and deploy. Prior to moving to Subversion from ClearCase and from a manual (somewhat scripted) build process to Bamboo the build process was exceedingly long and difficult. We've sliced the build from 3-5 hours to fifteen minutes in most big projects. ### 16. Best Build Tool **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Utilities | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** March 30, 2016 **What do you like best about Bamboo?** Best Build tool I used. Good Integration With maven,Jira and other tools. Easy to use. **What do you dislike about Bamboo?** License costs. User Interface Need more plugins **What problems is Bamboo solving and how is that benefiting you?** Build Management. ### 17. Easy and Simple Integration and Delivery Tool **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer Software | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 16, 2016 **What do you like best about Bamboo?** -Bamboo is a easy integration tool especially for smaller projects, it integrates nicely with my git repositories. -Documentation and support is pretty good -Nice integration with the rest of Atlassian suite of products **What do you dislike about Bamboo?** UI could be better and getting started takes awhile **What problems is Bamboo solving and how is that benefiting you?** Automation the build and test process ### 18. Easy to use **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Rodrigo G. | Enterprise Architect - Java, Information Technology and Services, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** May 28, 2015 **What do you like best about Bamboo?** Bamboo is a Continuous Integration and build server. It's a nice tool, easy to integrate with your repository. In practice it can detects changes on your repository, build the application, run tests and notify the results with little configuration. **What do you dislike about Bamboo?** First time can be little complicated but the support works fine. **Recommendations to others considering Bamboo:** Give it a try. It's easy to use, not expensive and will save you some time. **What problems is Bamboo solving and how is that benefiting you?** Before Bamboo we were spending some time to generate builds (to different platforms) and running few tests. Nos all this process is automated. ### 19. Bamboo is good integrated tool **Rating:** 3.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Information Technology and Services | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** May 07, 2015 **What do you like best about Bamboo?** Bamboo works fast and efficiently once it finds the right configuration and environment. Reuse is easy and customizations are easy as well. **What do you dislike about Bamboo?** The setup is altogether a bit difficult. the setting links are sometimes misleading. The links should be clear enough to understand. **What problems is Bamboo solving and how is that benefiting you?** Integrating my test environment in bamboo. Efficiency and customizations are really good,. ## 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?page=2§ion=pricing&secure%5Bexpires_at%5D=2026-08-01+05%3A05%3A31+-0500&secure%5Bsession_id%5D=14fde3f4-e8df-4965-9916-ff7f535adcfe&secure%5Btoken%5D=56ce49bab4fcc8a2b545402aac3a45ac0a818b7e386aa4b3b9fdff6b4037b29d&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) - 4.2/5.0 (89 reviews) - [AWS CodePipeline](https://www.g2.com/products/aws-codepipeline/reviews) - 4.3/5.0 (61 reviews)
