Limitless scalability, significantly cheaper than the competition, with on premise option
Pros and Cons
  • "Bitbucket is significantly cheaper compared to GitHub and it provides on-premises hosting."
  • "We need an improved automation feature for the cloud."

What is our primary use case?

Our primary use case is for an ICM tool. Just source code. 

What is most valuable?

Bitbucket is significantly cheaper compared to GitHub and it provides on-premises hosting.

What needs improvement?

I would like to see the development operations side improved. The main challenge that we faced is implementing anything on the cloud. We need an improved automation feature for the cloud.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have worked with Bitbucket now for four or five years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The stability is very good. Even with the on-premises solution, we did not face any issues so far. I can only remember one or two times we may have had an issue.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

Bitbucket is easy to scale and given that the cost, now I think even GitHub is charging based on the users for a team, but BitBucket is on-premises, and it has limitless scalability. We have six hundred users currently involved in working with coding.

What other advice do I have?

I would rate Bitbucket a nine out of ten.

Overall easy to use, simple code sending, but more documentation needed
Pros and Cons
  • "The solution is easy to use. If I need to check out my latest code or I need to send my local code to the depositories it is simple. Overall it is has been a good experience from my side using this solution."
  • "One of the areas the solution could improve on is when there is a merging conflict it is quite confusing. When I am having a merging conflict I get stuck on the page, then I need to search how to handle the particular problem. For example, finding what the commands are which can be used."

What is our primary use case?

We are using Bitbucket for the code checking and tracking of our project depositories which we have locally. This includes code changes in software development. 

How has it helped my organization?

Bitbucket has helped our company stay current with our updated code daily.

What is most valuable?

The solution is easy to use. If I need to check out my latest code or I need to send my local code to the depositories it is simple. Overall it is has been a good experience from my side using this solution.

What needs improvement?

One of the areas the solution could improve on is when there is a merging conflict it is quite confusing. When I am having a merging conflict I get stuck on the page, then I need to search how to handle the particular problem. For example, finding what the commands are which can be used. 

I might not have the proper knowledge of it. However, the merging processes can be difficult and could be made easier. Overall there should be better documentation available. When I first started out it would have been very helpful because I had to search to find out how to use the solution.

In an upcoming release, the solution could improve the collaboration. Additionally, there should be some startup tool or features for whenever we have local changes or updates it will prevent us from submitting any change unless they have been removed locally. For example, 
there should be some sort of command tool that can remove my local code first and then checking it by taking code from the latest one to resolve it.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using Bitbucket within the last 12 months.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The stability of the solution is good. However, there have been times I had to close the program down and restart it.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

The solution is scalable and it is not very difficult to do.

We have approximately 10 people using this solution in my organization which includes various teams, such as the automation department.

We use this solution every day and frequently, we plan to continue using it in the future.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

I have used a previous version that was not user-friendly. Additionally, I have used GitHub.

What about the implementation team?

We have one technician that does the maintenance of the solution.

What other advice do I have?

I rate Bitbucket a seven out of ten.

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

We get seamless integration and it is stable and easily scalable
Pros and Cons
  • "What I liked the most about this program is that it integrates seamlessly with JIRA."
  • "I think the developers are constantly working on improving the pull requests support."

What is our primary use case?

Our primary use case of this solution is as source repository. We use it to store all the source codes. So we basically use it for easy management of access to the source repository and creating pull requests. It also helps us to manage and get an overview of the different branches we have. It integrates into JIRA seamlessly so you can see the task effects on a JIRA task and Git.

What is most valuable?

What I liked the most about this program is that it integrates seamlessly with JIRA, which really adds value to our organization. I also like it as a pull request feature, even though that feature can definitely be improved.

What needs improvement?

I think the developers are constantly working on improving the pull requests support. It already works quite well, but there are still some issues with the support of the workflow and how to actually measure the time you spend on using reviews for pull requests compared to the time you actually use for doing the task. I am not really sure how that should be handled. I don't have a good solution for it yet. 

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using Bitbucket for three to four years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

I don't have any issues with the stability of Bitbucket. It just works as it should.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

The only thing I've experienced with the scalability is that you have to buy additional licenses when you exceed 50 users. That's more related to the cost model. I don't think I've experienced any scalability issues with it so far, however. I didn't expect to either because it's primarily hooked up to Git, that's the source repository.

Only when we misuse Git, like when we add large binary files to a source repository, it doesn't go that well. That's because we don't use it like it was intended to be used. It has nothing to do with Bitbucket - it's more about Git.

How are customer service and technical support?

I haven't used their technical support yet.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

I don't know exactly what the program costs, but it depends on how many users you have. We recently upgraded from 50 to 100 users, and I think it's public on the website. I am not sure. 

What other advice do I have?

My advice to others would be that, if they are looking for a stable on-premises solution, Bitbucket is the obvious choice. They can even use it if they are looking for a cloud solution, but we have a restriction that we have to run it on-premises. Therefore I think it's the smallest, best solution for us. 

I think it's worth paying for the extra features because otherwise you end up spending a lot of time configuring open source products. 

On a scale from one to 10, I rate Bitbucket a nine.

Scalable and compatible with different solutions
Pros and Cons
  • "It seems to be quite scalable."
  • "In future releases, more integration is always a valuable aspect to consider."

What is our primary use case?

Bitbucket, like GitHub, serves as a repository for coding and facilitates integration management and version control. It has features related to these aspects.

What is most valuable?

One of Bitbucket's notable features is its ability to integrate with other addressing solutions.

What needs improvement?

I believe continuous improvement is always a good goal to strive for. 

In future releases, more integration is always a valuable aspect to consider.

For how long have I used the solution?

I used Bitbucket for about three months. 

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

It seems to be quite scalable.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

I was familiar with GitHub as another option.

What other advice do I have?

Overall, I would rate the solution an eight out of ten. 

I would definitely recommend using the solution because one of the great features of Bitbucket is its compatibility with other solutions like Atlassian and others. I highly recommend it.
