Bamboo vs Solano CI comparison of Continuous Integration servers

	Bamboo https://www.atlassian.com/software/bamboo	Solano CI https://xebialabs.com/technology/solano-ci/
Unique feature	Atlassian suite integration	N/A
Type of product	On Premise	N/A
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.	No Their website only mentions a free trial
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.	No Very hard to get any information on pricing. It seems like they target enterprise clients only.
Support / SLA	Yes Dedicated tehnical support.	N/A
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	N/A They mention that by paralellizing tests they get a huge performance boost (10x to 80x) but details are severly lacking.
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
Containers support / Build environment	Yes By default, they offer Docker support for the CI/CD job runners.	Yes
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 The wording they use implies that this is possible.
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)	N/A
Self-hosted option	Yes	N/A
Hosted plans / SaaS	No	N/A
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 The wording they use suggests that this is possible.
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	N/A
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	N/A Probably not, considering how non-transparent this product is.
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	N/A
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)	N/A
Integrations 1st party support for common tools (like Slack notifications, various VCS platforms, etc)	Yes Deep integration with the Atlassian product stack (Jira, etc.).	N/A
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	N/A
Auditing	Yes	N/A
Additional notes	Not really something that should be purchased separatelly from the Atlassian stack.	It seems like Solano CI has been retired, and the new solution is the XebiaLabs DevOps Platform, but which integrates Jenkins and Travis, among others: https://xebialabs.com/products/devops-platform-overview/
