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.
CEO at Fiftytwo A/S
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?
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 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.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
On-premises

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.

Chief Information Officer at a recruiting/HR firm with 11-50 employees
A secure and cost-effective solution for code tracking and management
Pros and Cons
- "Bitbucket is a standard git implementation with perfectly coordinated screens, it's secure, and we have had no problems with it."
- "The installation of Bitbucket on our server was not as easy as other Atlassian products, so it is something that can be improved."
What is our primary use case?
We develop our own applications and all of our source code activities are managed and tracked on Bitbucket.
What is most valuable?
Bitbucket is a standard git implementation with perfectly coordinated screens, it's secure, and we have had no problems with it.
We are satisfied with the user interface.
What needs improvement?
The installation of Bitbucket on our server was not as easy as other Atlassian products, so it is something that can be improved. The same is true for the upgrade process. I have upgraded it twice, and it is similar to the initial installation.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using Bitbucket for two years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
We have had no problems and I'm satisfied with the stability. We use it quite heavily because all of our applications and updates are handled on different branches in Bitbucket.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
I cannot say much with respect to scalability because we are a small company with a maximum of five people who are using the product.
How are customer service and technical support?
In the two years that we have been using Bitbucket, we have not needed any support.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
Prior to using Bitbucket, we were using the freeware version of SVN. We switched because Bitbucket has better features, especially for source code maintenance.
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup was a little bit complex. It requires more intervention on the Linux console than the other Atlassian products. You need to adjust more files, for example.
It took us about a month to deploy and three people were involved in the process. Only one person is required for maintenance because it is generally maintained by Atlassian.
What about the implementation team?
The deployment was done by our in-house team.
What was our ROI?
We have seen ROI but I cannot easily quantify it with numbers.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
We are using the minimum package with ten users and we are happy with the price because we are a small company. With our small number of users, our licensing fees are approximately $10 USD per month. There are no fees in addition to this.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
We evaluated GitHub but we require our own server for source code management.
What other advice do I have?
This solution is good and it covers all our needs. Periodically, I receive announcements from Atlassian, mostly concerning the security features. They are fixing the newly discovered vulnerabilities and also, there are some other improvements in the features. Normally, I am not affected by the new features because we don't require them.
My advice is to start using this solution because it works very well and we are very satisfied with the functionality. If somebody knows how to configure git for libraries then they can implement Bitbucket as well.
I would rate this solution a ten out of ten.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
On-premises

We primarily use the solution for managing our own repository.
What is most valuable?
I don't have too much experience with Bitbucket; I use GitHub more often.
It's easy to switch back and forth between Bitbucket and GitHub.
What needs improvement?
The code review and creation of requests need improvement. In GitHub it's much easier and broader and that makes everything easier to see.
The solution is not user-friendly. Right now, the solution is not so easy to understand. It needs to update its design and overall user experience.

How are customer service and technical support?
I've never had to contact technical support.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
We did previously use a different solution. We switched to Bitbucket when we switched projects.
How was the initial setup?
The initial deployment is rather straightforward and only takes 30 minutes to an hour.
What about the implementation team?
I handled the implementation myself.
What other advice do I have?
We use the cloud deployment model.
We use the solution pretty extensively, but it depends on the client and the project.
I'd suggest those considering implementing the solution try all the functionalities in the trial period. That way you can decide if it will work for your projects.
I'd rate the solution eight out of ten.
