Yes because the installation process is not obvious.
Stability Issues:
The default settings do not work properly on Mac OS X. You have to tweak JVM
parameters and allocate more heap memory as well as change other parameters to
have a stable Jenkins server.
Scalability Issues:
I haven't had to scale up yet. We have one build box which is running two agents on
it.
Customer Service:
As this is open source, there is no such thing as customer service, but there is a big
community to look for information and get answers.

Technical Support:
As this is open source, there is no such thing as tech support, but there is a big
community to look for information and get answers.
Previous Solutions:
Personally, I previously used Bamboo. I switched because I changed jobs and at

my new place Jenkins had been used. It would unjustified to do a move from
Jenkins to Bamboo, given that Jenkins is capable of performing same tasks.
Initial Setup:
It was complex and additional knowledge about launch agents and daemons is
required. There are at least three, if not four, different ways to install and configure
Jenkins, which is not always good.
Implementation Team:
We implemented it in-house.
ROI:
It's high because the product is free.
Pricing:
The original setup. for us, was the cost of a new Mac Mini box which costs, from
$1,000 to $2,000 depending on the configuration.
Other Advice:
This is a very good, powerful and flexible product, but requires a lot of time
investment to get the maximum out of it.

employees
Valuable Features:
The feature of this product that is most valuable to me is the robust community
support plugins.
Improvements to My Organization:
Jenkins has greatly improved the time it takes to deliver a software package to the
market.
I can't think of any at the moment.
Use of Solution:
I have used Jenkins and Hudson for about four years.
Deployment Issues:
No issues encountered.
Stability Issues:
Scalability Issues:
Technical Support:
The community of people who use this open source tool are very helpful.
Previous Solutions:
No previous solution used.
Initial Setup:
Jenkins is very straightforward to install. Basically, it's a Java app that runs on an
app server.

We implemented Jenkins in-house.
ROI:
100% since it is open source.
Pricing:
No setup/;day to day costs.
Alternate Solutions:
Yes, we also looked at Hudson and Cruise Control.
Other Advice:
Invest in time reading the support forums and newsgroups. Collaborate with other
professionals.

TeamCity
Vendor: JetBrains
Overview: TeamCity is a Continuous Integration and Deployment server that provides out-of-the-box continuous unit
testing, code quality analysis, and early reporting on build problems. A simple installation process lets you
deploy TeamCity and start improving your release management practices in a matter of minutes. TeamCity

Use of Solution:
I used it for three years.
Deployment Issues:
You shouldn't use TeamCity as a deployment tool.
Stability Issues:
As versions progress, TeamCity has greatly improved it's stability with it's
resourcing. Also following JetBrains' documentation about how to set up TeamCity,
distributes load in a more even fashion.

Scalability Issues:
There have been times when making copies of a project has caused major stability
issues, especially when you have nested project structure based off of different
build configuration templates.
Customer Service:
I've never needed to deal with customer service.
Technical Support:
YouTrack has been a great forum to raise/track issues.
Previous Solutions:
We previously used CC.Net. TeamCity provided a much easier method of

configuration as well as templating over CC.Net.
Initial Setup:
If you want just a basic setup, it is extremely straightforward. If you require

optimizations such as I/O distribution, you will need to do a little bit more work.
We implemented it in-house.

TEAMCITY REVIEW BY A REAL USER
Ricky Shome Verified by IT Central Station
Director at Testing QA Solutions Ltd (TQS)
Valuable Features:
It's a very useful, intuitive tool to continuously deploy new builds
A clean user interface
It's very easy to use, even for non-build engineers
Ability to run automated tests as part of the build process
Easy to pinpoint issues with the detailed logs
Easy navigation
Useful to see how the build is progressing and how many tests are left to pass
before the build is green
Improved the quality of builds by running unit tests as part of every build
Reduced the risks of regression defects by running automated tests as part of the
build process
The UI could be more structured, as it is so customisable it is quite easy to get lost

around the screens.
Use of Solution:
I have used this product for over six months now.
Deployment Issues:
Only environment issues which caused failed deployments. Also, if people were
connected to the database on the backend, the build would fail.
Stability Issues:
It seemed a very stable tool with hardly any downtime in the six months I was using
it.

Scalability Issues:
Not at all. In fact it was so stable we were able to add and create our own virtual
environments each time we needed to deploy. This meant that each user had their
own virtual environment, meaning nothing ever got overwritten.
Technical Support:
I had no need for it as we had DevOps engineers who fixed any issues.
Previous Solutions:
I used to use Jenkins in a previous job. I started using TeamCity when I changed
jobs as that was the tool that was being used, but I preferred TeamCity to Jenkins.
Initial Setup:
It's fairly straightforward.
It was implemented by an in-house team.
ROI:
We used to deploy multiple times a day too many different environments. Also, we
had offices in Australia who were using it when we were asleep! Effectively we
were using this tool 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
Other Advice:
Do it! Very easy to use and very stable. A must have tool for any teams using agile
methodologies.

Use of Solution:
Two to three years.
Deployment Issues:
No issues with deployment.
Stability Issues:
Yes, Regular server/agent being down.
Scalability Issues:
Yes, It needs to allow multiple plans to run on a agent(at same time). Dedicating
one whole agent isn't fair, I know we have to buy more agents, but in-terms buying
and maintaining more infrastructure isn't scalable either. .
Customer Service:
Never used it. Had a decent responses from open forum.
Technical Support:
Never used it.
Previous Solutions:
Yes. since we wanted to keep Atlassian suite all-around.
Initial Setup:
Easy. Just like other Atlassian products.
ROI:
We got the product for a cheap price, so its alright.
Pricing:
We initially got 5 agents for around $2000 excluding infrastructure setup. Now we
are using docker containers to maximize the mileage on them.
Other Advice:
If you are looking for good integration with Atlassian products and then this is the
tool.

BAMBOO REVIEW BY A REAL USER
Jan Swaelens Verified by IT Central Station
Solution Management at a software R&D company with 1-
100 employees
Valuable Features:
We are very fond of the flexibility it offers in terms of setting up our builds. We have
a wide variety of components we need to build which often require custom actions
or manipulations using in house technology. Bamboo allows us to set this up quite
easily by the flexible configuration features it includes.
Secondly we really like the integration of the build aspect and deploy aspect. One
of the recent major releases included this feature to link build and deploy projects
together allowing a deployment pipe-line to be setup completely in Bamboo. This
makes the status of deployments very visible and also allows for easy follow up and
even rollback in case a deployment causes too much havoc.
Thanks to Bamboo we are able to build changes made by development quite

quickly and allow them to deploy to our internal environments when needed (as well
as automated during the night). This significantly reduces the effort required to get
something into test.
The fact that all builds use a unified setup and infrastructure makes it much easier
to control and adapt the ever increasing number of builds.
We are lacking proper support for branched builds using multiple source
repositories. The current approach is quite clunky (or non-existent) but it seems
there is something in the pipe line for the end of the year according to a recent post
on the Bamboo Jira.
Use of Solution:
We have been using Bamboo for about 6 years now
Deployment Issues:
Not at all, over all those years we only had a handful of issues and that's probably
because we always take each new update directly.
Stability Issues:
No, we never encountered any serious regression. For the few cases we
encountered bugs they were fixed in a reasonable time interval.

Scalability Issues:
Scaling out a build system is not always easy, but thanks to the remote agent
technology we are able to scale out and add nodes in a transparent way.
Customer Service:
We use a 3d party for our license management, which makes it hard to judge this
but we never had direct interactions with Atlassian Customer support.
Technical Support:
Pretty good once you get trough the initial levels of the support team, it can take a
while before you are able to prove that there's a genuine issue.
Previous Solutions:
We came from Jenkins back in the day, I recall our most important reasons to
switch where the enterprise readiness of Bamboo and its integration in the
Atlassian stack (Jira and others).
Initial Setup:
Bamboo is very easy to deploy, all it takes is extracting the distribution and a JRE
to run it. This also goes for the remote agents which install by running a JAR which
already contains the configuration for communicating with its master.
We implemented in house.
ROI:
That would be 100%, the time saved in development is enormous.
Pricing:
We started out using only a number of agents and moved to a bigger setup using
many remote agents over the years. The cost depends on the agents used and
amount of boxes deployed to run them on.
Only Jenkins, see previous answer.

Other Advice:
Plan before you start, Bamboo is 'only' that which automates. One should have a
decent design of how the build needs to work internally and have that (scripts,
servers, descriptors ...) in order before attempting to automate on a large scale.
Secondly, don't be afraid to change things to you application or pipeline to help the
automation to be more efficient - for example we replaced massive chunks of hard
SQL from the build scripts by a webservice to avoid dependencies to JDBC in our
builds.

Simple interface
Yes. We were using Buildbot and started using Jenkins. It helped the team to get
visibility of the tests running and breaking builds. Jenkins has wall display setup so
that everybody can see build status including non-technical people. Using Jenkins
well doesn't make any difference unless it is used smartly.
Support for PHP and Ruby
Use of Solution:

Deployment Issues:
No issues with deployment.
Stability Issues:
Sometimes it randomly throws 'Error 500' while saving the settings of a job.
Scalability Issues:
Customer Service:
Great community support on Google Group as well as conferences.

Previous Solutions:
We were using Buildbot and Switched to Jenkins for its nice interface and visibility.
Initial Setup:
Initial setup of the Jenkins was not as easy as if you are setting master/slave
architecture. You need make sure that the master and all slaves are running OK as
well as to utilise slaves effectively.
ROI:
It's free and open-source so it's worth trying and you won't regret using it.

Customer Service:

Technical Support:

Previous Solutions:
I used TFS build, Jenkins and TeamCity previously. We switched to GO because

the pipeline concept promoted by GO is a good match with our process.
Initial Setup:
It's pretty easy, I got it done without any problems.
In-house, and all our developers take part in keeping their GO server running.
ROI:
GO is open source, our initial cost is zero but it comes with a bit of learning curve
so if your delivery process isn't that complex, I think other tools might give you
better ROI.
Pricing:
Zero initial cost, and we host them on Azure, 8-9 VMs, at approximately $14 per
day.
Go was our winner when evaluated, along with Jenkins, TFS build, Atlassian
Bamboo and Team City.
Other Advice:
GO doesn't come with a lot of out of the box features like other tools, don't expect
that you can get it to work by clicking the NEXT button.
