---|---|---|
Unique feature |
Atlassian suite integration
|
Ongoing statical analysis
|
Type of product |
On Premise
|
SaaS
|
Offers a free plan |
Yes The full Atlassian suite is free for open source projects (https://www.atlassian.com/software/views/open-source-license-request). For all others, they offer a minimal free trial. |
Yes Free for open source projects |
Predictable pricing |
Yes They price their product based on number of build agents (more concurrency, more expensive). Given the notoriety and depth of the Atlassian suite, the pricing can be steep for small companies. |
Yes Three different paid monthly tiers |
Support / SLA |
Yes Dedicated tehnical support. |
N/A Not specifically mentioned, probably not. |
Paralellism
Every CI servers tends to address this differently (parallel, distributed, build matrix). Some of it is just marketing, and some is just nuance. For this table, parallel means that tasks can be run concurrently on the same machine, distributed means that tasks can be scaled horizontally, on multiple machines How to split tests in parallel in the optimal way with Knapsack Pro |
Yes Up to 100 parallel agents |
Yes Automated parallalelization for code analysis, as well as support for running tasks in parallel |
Distributed builds
distributed means that tasks can be scaled horizontally, on multiple machines How to split tests in parallel in the optimal way with Knapsack Pro |
Yes Agents can run on multiple machines. |
N/A Unclear from the documentation (probably not) |
Containers support / Build environment |
Yes By default, they offer Docker support for the CI/CD job runners. |
Yes Tests run in isolated containers. Docker support available. |
Analytics / Status overview
Analytics and overview referrs to the ability to, at a glance, see what's breaking (be it a certain task, or the build for a specific project) |
Yes Excellent dashboards, even more so thanks to integrations with the other tools in the Atlassian arsenal |
Yes Besides classic CI overview, they also provide static code analysis insights, which is a differentiator for Scrutinizer |
Management support
How easy is it to manage users / projects / assign roles and permissions and so on |
Yes Great management support, built for large scale companies, even allows setting per-environment permissions (ie: QA team can only deploy to their own, isolated environment) |
Yes Additional seats available for every plan at $14.90 per seat, per month. |
Self-hosted option |
Yes
|
No
|
Hosted plans / SaaS |
No
|
Yes
|
Build pipelines
A continuous delivery pipeline is a description of the process that the software goes through from a new code commit, through testing and other statical analysis steps all the way to the end-users of the product. |
Yes Advanced pipeline support - with features built for feature branch support, various triggers, schedules, external notifications and more. |
Yes Pipelines as code (YML files) |
Reports
Reports are about the abilty to see specific reports (like code coverage or custom ones), but not necesarily tied in into a larger dashboard. |
Yes
|
Yes
|
Ecosystem
Besides the official documentation and software, is there a large community using this product? Are there any community-driven tools / plugins that you can use? |
Yes Large selection (~200) of apps that integrate with Bamboo, available on the official marketplace for Bamboo: https://marketplace.atlassian.com/addons/app/bamboo |
No
|
Specific language support: Ruby
Some CI servers have built-in support for parsing RSpec or Istanbul output for example and we mention those. Some others make it even easier by detecting Gemfiles or package.json and automate parts of the process for the developer. |
Yes (partial) It looks like the documentation and features for Ruby are lagging behind. All I could find is this repo: https://github.com/drscream/bamboozled-ruby-plugin, following this support ticket: https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/BAM-10948 from this documentation stub page: https://confluence.atlassian.com/bamboo0601/getting-started-with-ruby-and-bamboo-935580774.html |
Yes Code analysis (automated code reviews) are available for Ruby, as well as specific documentation for setting up a Ruby project: https://scrutinizer-ci.com/docs/guides/ruby. Frameworks like Ruby on Rails are supported. They also provide tools like bundler-audit, for identifying vulnerable gems: https://scrutinizer-ci.com/docs/tools/ruby/bundler-audit/ |
Specific language support: JavaScript |
No No specific support, beyond some documentation on integrating Selenium (not marked as partial support since that documentation is only promoted in the Atlassian docs, but is hosted by BrowserStack) |
Yes Automated code reviews are available for Javascript as well as specific documentation for setting up a Node.js project: https://scrutinizer-ci.com/docs/guides/javascript. Typescript is also supported. |
Integrations
1st party support for common tools (like Slack notifications, various VCS platforms, etc) |
Yes Deep integration with the Atlassian product stack (Jira, etc.). |
Yes Light integration with third party systems, mainly code management frameworks like GitHub, Bitbucket, GitLab. |
API
Custom integreation is available, via an API or otherwise, it's mentioned separately as it allows further customization than any of the Ecosystem/Integration options |
Yes
|
Yes Comprehensive REST API available: https://scrutinizer-ci.com/docs/api/ |
Auditing |
Yes
|
N/A Unclear from the documentation, but most likely available. |
Additional notes |
Not really something that should be purchased separatelly from the Atlassian stack. |
The code analysis features seem great, the offer for similar tools is quite light. Seems similar to lgtm.com |
