Overview

Product Information on Bamboo

Updated 13th October 2025

What is Bamboo?

Bamboo is a software that automates the process of building, testing, and releasing applications. It integrates with version control systems and provides continuous integration and deployment capabilities. The software supports a wide range of build tools and programming languages, enabling teams to automate the compilation and testing of source code. Bamboo offers centralized management of builds and releases, configurable workflows, and environment provisioning. It addresses business challenges associated with manual build and release processes by streamlining pipelines, reducing errors, and improving visibility into the development lifecycle. Bamboo facilitates collaboration across development, testing, and operations teams, enhancing consistency and reliability in delivering software updates.

Bamboo Pricing

Bamboo software uses a tiered pricing model based on the number of build agents and users. The software is offered through perpetual licenses with a one-time payment for each tier, along with an annual maintenance fee that includes support and updates. Cloud deployment is not available and pricing varies depending on the selected configuration and required scale.

“Bamboo Enhances Team Learning and Tracking of Coding Changes Over Time”

5.0
Jan 13, 2026
I've only been using Bamboo for a few projects for less than a year but it has been great at helping me collaborate with my team and learn from them. This is my first official experience with Bamboo in a professional setting. My team keeps things neat and clean and it makes a new team member like me better understand what's going on with our coding projects.

Bamboo Likes & Dislikes

Like

It's easy to see/understand coding changes, a great collaboration tool, great to look at how things changed and why, and easy to keep track of what others have done in the past. We heavily use JIRA so having Bamboo is a great addition.

Like

It supports code driven pipelines very well. Bamboo integration is cool and each build shows the Jira item the changeset is attached to.

Like

like most for it's straightforward user0friendly UI

Dislike

There hasn't been much that I dislike about Bamboo. As a new team member, it took me a bit to get used to everything but I am learning new things every day and everything makes sense so far. I don't have any real complaints or pain points from using it so far.

Dislike

It does not support parameterized builds. Inheriting legacy projects in Bamboo is an issue because it does not support centralized build configurations. Bamboo only supports the Atlassian coverage tool. It is very inflexible and does not have a lot of features.

Dislike

1) it's very expensive 2) lack SaaS cloud Service 3)less 3rd-party extensions

    Leveraging Bamboo for Enhanced Team Synchronization and Development Monitoring

    Bamboo serves as an effective Continuous Integration and Continuous Delivery solution for teams who already work with Jira. Our team wants better control over branching in Bamboo because its combination with Jira makes deployments smooth.
