"Bamboo for CI/CD"
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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great tool to automate the tasks"
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.

What do you dislike about Bamboo?

I like everything as per my usecase. Nothing to dislike as of now. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Simple and efficient"
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.

"Bamboo Rocks"
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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Useful and convenient set of tools for Continuous Integration and Continuous Deployment ."
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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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.
