Allstacks uses machine learning models to analyze SDLC data for delivery risks and projected outcomes for engineering leaders. The value stream intelligence platform illuminates insights across projects and tools so users can build better processes, create a better culture, and shape better outcomes for a business and its customers. Allstacks gathers and analyzes past work data and behavior from the tools a team is already using, like Jira, GitHub, and Bitbucket. The vendor states…

Australian company Atlassian offers Bamboo, a continuous integration server.
One of the greatest feature of Allstacks is that it provides predictive analysis for the deployed software in case it will fail. It helps Software Developers a lot of time debugging the error and thus improves efficiency. Another great feature is that it uses historical work data and uses Machine Learning and AI to build predictive model.
If you value integration over cost, Bamboo is clearly the way to go. It offers tight integration to the rest of the Atlassian suite, and when you need traceability from issue to build, Atlassian is the right way to go. However, if you find yourself needing to save on costs, you may consider taking an approach of rolling your own build system with open source alternatives, such as Jenkins, if you don't [mind] putting in a little extra elbow grease.
Levels of granularity. Organization has many projects that have many build plans that have many jobs that have many tasks, etc. And branch builds allow source control branches to be built separately.
Versatility. I can use bamboo to manage my Java, node, or .NET build plans. I can use it to spin up Windows or Linux build agents, or install it on a Mac to build there as well.
Bamboo integrates with other Atlassian products like Bitbucket, Stash, JIRA, etc. If a company commits to the entire Atlassian stack then work can be tracked through the whole development lifecycle which is really useful.
Bamboo was fairly easy to navigate but in the end it always felt as if it was developed as a bolt-on and not a true group up user interface. There were multiple ways to get to everything and the path was never the same. So it was difficult for users to really get a feel of how to use the application.
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.
We combined a lot of tools, customized reports, and excel spreadsheets into a single perspective to demonstrate progress, efficiency, and trends in our delivery operations. Allstacks have all the things compared to any other tool in the market.
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 compability, simply to maintain / manage, and straightforwardly integration with different notification platforms
It helped us achieve the Continuous Deployment and Continuous Integration goals for our applications, a huge milestone that saved a lot of time for developers in making the builds and deployments and saved time for QA in running the automated tests.
Helped with DevOps: we moved the formal approval from the email to the system and allowed the approver to actually push the button for the production deployments.
Biggest positive impact of using Bamboo is that it improved our response time to customers and increased the frequency of our deliveries to them.
