On Premise
|
| Offers a free plan |
Yes Offers a minimal free plan (only one concurrent job, 3 users, various other limitations) |
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. |
| Predictable pricing |
Yes Easy price calculator, based on the number of machines, concurrent jobs and special features. |
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. |
| Support / SLA |
Yes Paid support for enterprise plans |
Yes Dedicated tehnical support. |
|
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
|
Yes Up to 100 parallel agents |
|
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 |
N/A Unclear from the documentation (probably not) |
Yes Agents can run on multiple machines. |
| Containers support / Build environment |
Yes Built for Kubernetes, so containers are a must. |
Yes By default, they offer Docker support for the CI/CD job runners. |
|
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 They seem to provide pretty great status overview, depending on the type of plan you're using. |
Yes Excellent dashboards, even more so thanks to integrations with the other tools in the Atlassian arsenal |
|
Management support
How easy is it to manage users / projects / assign roles and permissions and so on |
Yes
|
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) |
| Self-hosted option |
Yes Only available for enterprise plans |
Yes
|
| Hosted plans / SaaS |
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 Pipelines as code (YML files) |
Yes Advanced pipeline support - with features built for feature branch support, various triggers, schedules, external notifications and more. |
|
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 Every step in a CodeFresh pipeline is a Docker image. A wide array of steps is available over at https://steps.codefresh.io/ |
Yes Large selection (~200) of apps that integrate with Bamboo, available on the official marketplace for Bamboo: https://marketplace.atlassian.com/addons/app/bamboo |
|
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 Specific documentation for a sample Ruby-on-Rails project: https://codefresh.io/docs/docs/learn-by-example/ruby/ |
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 |
| Specific language support: JavaScript |
Yes There's an 'npm publish' step available, and they also provide a few Javascript examples over at https://codefresh.io/docs/docs/learn-by-example/nodejs/ (one is just a sample, one is a little more complex, using Redis, Python, etc., and one is a React App) |
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) |
|
Integrations
1st party support for common tools (like Slack notifications, various VCS platforms, etc) |
Yes https://steps.codefresh.io |
Yes Deep integration with the Atlassian product stack (Jira, etc.). |
|
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 Rich REST API available, well documented at https://g.codefresh.io/api/ |
Yes
|
| Auditing |
Yes Audit logs available: https://codefresh.io/docs/docs/enterprise/audit-logs/ |
Yes
|
| Additional notes |
|
Not really something that should be purchased separatelly from the Atlassian stack. |
