"Feature-Rich HR Management Tool with Permission Challenges"
4.5/5
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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Bamboo for CI/CD"
4/5
What do you like best about Bamboo?

1. Works best with Jira, Bitbucket, Confluence, etc., which helps in tracking all the Jira issues in a build and allows navigation to Bitbucket to see exact commits and details in a particular build.

2. We can run builds in parallel across multiple agents, which can be very useful in large teams.

3. Unlike other CI/CD tools, Bamboo has dedicated deployment projects for each project, which helps in isolating deployment logic from build logic.

4. It has scripts, custom tasks, and environment variables that can be used to automate specific tasks like pushing certain things over the cloud, generating bundles (we had a requirement where we wanted to publish keys to a third-party web app before deploying the code on production, and 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 a little bit of guidance, would be able to use Bamboo.

7. It has excellent customer support.

8. We use it on a daily basis for all our deployment and building artifacts.

9. It is easy to implement, providing easy integration with Atlassian products. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Bamboo?

It is server-only, which means tasks are executed on the Bamboo server itself and are not allowed to run on remote agents. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great tool to automate the tasks"
4/5
What do you like best about Bamboo?

It is very useful tool to automate the tasks and it save the developers/tester time. 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.

"Simple and efficient"
4.5/5
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). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
