Top Rated Bamboo Alternatives
The integrations with the other Atlassian tools (BitBucket, JIRA, and Confluence) work with no effort, right out of the box.
The ability to set fine-grain access control for the deployment phase for each target environment is great. As a public company, being subject to SOX compliance requirements means things such as segregation of duties (no developers deploying to PROD if the application can influence financial reporting). My developers have access to deploy via Bamboo to DEV, but a release engineer can only deploy to PROD. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The configuration of authentication against an LDAP source (such as AD) is a bit clunky compared to the other Atlassian tools. It requires you to configure the user directory source via config files without much direction compared to JIRA and Confluence which you can do it right in the web interface. Even myself being a CLI guy and coder, I would still prefer they were consistent with the other tools.
One big feature that Bamboo is missing is the ability to create a git tag after a successful build against trunk (which is basically a release candidate). Jenkins has this feature out of the box from what I have read. There isn't even a plugin available on the marketplace to do this.
One feature I wish it had is tight integration with Ansible for the deployment phase. Right now I just use a script task for deployment which calls the Ansible playbook to execute the complex, multi-tier deployment with rolling upgrades. Ansible requires SSH authN to the target nodes; if I use the out of the box SSH plugin in Bamboo, I can store the private key within Bamboo, even with a passphrase. If I run Ansible as a script task for the deployment, I can't use the SSH key/passphrase feature of bamboo. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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.

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

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.
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.
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.
