Considered Both Products	Atlassian Bamboo Verified User Anonymous Chose Atlassian Bamboo Not well. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Atlassian Bamboo We selected Bamboo because its capabilities to integrate with other Atlassian products specially Jira Software, Bitbucket and in some useful scenarios with Confluence. Also, we found these pros important for us: great user interface, easily agent deployment, Docker … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Atlassian Bamboo Bamboo's ability to integrate with Bitbucket and Jira (the other two key systems we use) pretty much sealed the deal on our decision to choose Bamboo over other alternatives. Being able to map every build result back to the relevant code changes and Jira issues are just too … Incentivized Helpful? Rob Domenico Senior Systems Administrator Chose Atlassian Bamboo Jenkins is the only other we had briefly considered for continuous deployment type of products, but being open source could not get the same level of reliability and support offered from Bamboo's product maturity. Incentivized Helpful? Bayley Gaillard Site Reliability Engineer II Chose Atlassian Bamboo Bamboo has a friendlier interface than either TeamCity or Jenkins and has better integration with Jira and Bitbucket Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Atlassian Bamboo We looked at Bitbucket and some other providers but they did not have the full requirements that we needed from a customization perspective. We wanted customization while keeping a lot of the configurability intact. Incentivized Helpful? Kyle Kochtan Technical Lead Chose Atlassian Bamboo In the beginning we had selected Bamboo and were down the path of going all in for all of our projects. However after about a year we decided that Azure DevOps was better suited for our business needs. We are now in the process of migrating everything off of the Bamboo … Incentivized Helpful? Cristian Bodnarasec Senior Software Development Manager Chose Atlassian Bamboo We used Jenkins before for our projects. While Jenkins has an extensive plugins list that makes it more flexible to integrate it with other tools, we switched to Bamboo for nicer User Interface but mostly for the seamless integration with Jira and Bitbucket. Also Bamboo has more … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Atlassian Bamboo Bamboo is great tool when compared to the open-source alternative Jenkins, with mainly the same functionality in both it really shines with its integration of the Atlassian product line. Jenkins works really well with a huge community of users and plenty of plugins that are … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Atlassian Bamboo We chose Bamboo over Jenkins for 2 reasons - one, for its tight integration amongst all the products in the tool suite. We find explicit value in the traceability from JIRA issues all the way down to the Bamboo build that was triggered by the check in of those issues. The … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Atlassian Bamboo Bamboo has these advantages while asana does not: Easy to configure Easy to use Clean UI and easy permission controls Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Atlassian Bamboo Jenkins works great, but Bamboo is just fantastic when integrated with other Atlassian tools. Since we were using JIRA and Bitbucket, we went for Bamboo. Incentivized Helpful? FC Frank Coulter Database Operations Manager Chose Atlassian Bamboo Bamboo's seamless integration with Bitbucket made it a simple choice, and I couldn't be happier with its ease of use, logging, and reliability. Incentivized Helpful? Milan Shah Technical Architect Chose Atlassian Bamboo We selected bamboo after a thorough review process, we considered the following aspects: Ease of use, cost, scalability, plugins, setup and maintenance, community and product support Made sure it integrated with JIRA and Confluence Incentivized Helpful? Erik Bean Web Developer Chose Atlassian Bamboo I use bamboo because it is mandated as the CI/CD solution to use across the organization that I work for. If I were working on my own project, I would almost certainly use a free solution like Travis CI or just spin up my own build servers using Docker, AWS, or something like … Incentivized Helpful? Marc Smith CTO Chose Atlassian Bamboo Bamboo won solely based on the fact we were "all-in" with Atlassian. TeamCity is now in the process of taking over as we transition off of Bamboo, and I think TeamCity stacks up nice against Bamboo thus far (too soon to tell). Incentivized Helpful? Tanner Lovelace Principal Software Engineer Chose Atlassian Bamboo Bamboo integrates directly with our bug system (Jira) and source control system (Bitbucket). It allows us to get what we need to done without worrying about how it works with our other systems. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Atlassian Bamboo Bamboo is hands-down the best of these options if you rely on other products of Atlassian origin. Bamboo is not just built for teams, but teams-of-teams and teams of many workers. It has the administrative features you need to manage and maintain CI at scale. Enterprise model … Incentivized Helpful? Ken Yee Android Architect Chose Atlassian Bamboo I didn't select Bamboo. I mentioned how it compared in other parts of this review, but to summarize: Pros: easier to use and cleaner UI Incentivized Helpful?	CloudBees Codeship Ramindu Deshapriya Lead Consultant - Technology Chose CloudBees Codeship Codeship is easier to use than Jenkins because it does not require you to set up your own server, and it provides a large amount of out-of-the-box integrations for version control systems and cloud environments. AWS CodePipeline is native to AWS and cannot deploy applications … Incentivized Helpful? Alex Lada Senior Web Developer Chose CloudBees Codeship Codeship has been easier for our devops team to work with as far as making delivery plans and build scripts. Anecdotally, it has been more stable over time, cutting down on time investigating why some random part of the delivery process has broken. I am not sure why this is, … Incentivized Helpful? Kariem Hussein CTO Chose CloudBees Codeship We have been using Codeship for a few years, and what we like is that it's very clear what is built and when. We usually only have one-liners for any configuration option (build, test, deploy) and this way all changes to the build are managed in the version control system and … Incentivized Helpful? Maxim Milovanov Senior Software Engineer Chose CloudBees Codeship Our company uses Jenkins for all internal deployment processes for one very important reason - it's hosted internally. But Codeship is great for personal use - it has intuitive UI, easy setup and tons of integrations. Incentivized Helpful? Claudio Fernando Maciel Sr. Software Developer Chose CloudBees Codeship Back in those days, we didn't know about Gitlab, and Bitbucket didn't provide a CI pipeline. Jenkins is just too much for the simple tasks we wanted to achieve, besides, we didn't have a dedicated server for the sole purpose of having our code pipelined though continuous … Incentivized Helpful?

User Testimonials
	Atlassian Bamboo	CloudBees Codeship
Likelihood to Recommend	Large companies will find it particularly useful, but smaller companies and independent developers will not be able to afford the cost, and will not see many advantages compared to using an open source solution. However, having some software to handle continuous integration build servers as well as deployments, and doing this consistently between products, is absolutely essential. Incentivized Erik Bean Web Developer Read full review	Codeship is very well suited to teams that have specialized devops members along with other specialized developers. It lets the other developers focus on what they do best, without having to learn another technology stack. This has cut down on a lot of headaches at our company with developers needing to deploy code to various different hosting services across different content management systems. The experience to push code is essentially the same for a developer no matter what the underlying technology is Incentivized Alex Lada Senior Web Developer Read full review
Pros	Continuous Deployment - you can use Bamboo to automatically build and deploy whenever there are changes in the source code. Continuous Integration - by integrating the automated tests and the integration tests before deploying you make sure you know immediately if the latest code fits into the whole scheme of apps. Integration with Jira and Bitbucket. Flexibility with the program language used for builds: Maven, Ant, PowerShell, any command line tools. Incentivized Cristian Bodnarasec Senior Software Development Manager Read full review	Easy and fast deployment A lot of tool integrations (Slack, GitHub, Bitbucket, GitLab) Getting tests to run is fast and easy Incentivized Maxim Milovanov Senior Software Engineer Read full review
Cons	Extremely hard barrier to entry for non-backend developers Blackbox makes it hard to customize functionality The inability to add features without breaking core functionality No cloud solution Tasks cannot be put in if/else statements No clear right way to form build plans Incentivized Jonathan Kempf, UXC UI Engineer Read full review	UX: The overall UX is not bad, but it still needs a lot of improvement. It took me quite a while to realize that in order to switch projects I needed to press my current project name so a dropdown would appear. Integration with bitbucket is somewhat hidden from the users's hands. Got to make some improvements there. Incentivized Claudio Fernando Maciel Sr. Software Developer Read full review
Usability	Bamboo offers solid usability for teams looking for an integrated, scalable CI/CD solution, especially those using Atlassian tools. Its interface is intuitive for existing Atlassian users, and its focus on deployment automation makes it a strong option for continuous delivery. However, its complexity and cost may pose challenges for small teams or those new to CI/CD. Overall, Bamboo’s usability shines in environments where ease of integration and streamlined workflows are prioritized. Still, it may require more effort for teams unfamiliar with its setup or without dedicated resources. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	No answers on this topic
Support Rating	Support for Bamboo has started lack a little over the years. Atlassian has been moving more towards Bitbucket Pipelines and away from the on-premise install of Bamboo. While the tool is still great, it may take a little bit of time to get a question answered by official support. Verified User Anonymous Read full review	No answers on this topic
Alternatives Considered	We chose Bamboo over Jenkins for 2 reasons - one, for its tight integration amongst all the products in the tool suite. We find explicit value in the traceability from JIRA issues all the way down to the Bamboo build that was triggered by the check in of those issues. The second reason was for support - we didn't want the burden of figuring out how to support Jenkins in our production environment, as can be the case with so many open source products. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Codeship is easier to use than Jenkins because it does not require you to set up your own server, and it provides a large amount of out-of-the-box integrations for version control systems and cloud environments. AWS CodePipeline is native to AWS and cannot deploy applications reliably to other cloud environments such as GCP or Azure. Incentivized Ramindu Deshapriya Lead Consultant - Technology Read full review
Return on Investment	Bamboo was neither very positive or negative. Most of our spend was in man hours on research and development We felt it was worth it for larger projects Smaller projects had too much setup and run and caused a negative ROI Kyle Kochtan Technical Lead Read full review	We have a few small projects with different developers and Codeship shows everyone clearly, if something work, or if it doesn't. In one small project with a team of three developers, we have configured two builds and it takes 2-5 minutes for everyone on the team to push changes to an infrastructure handling a little over 3M users.
