Centralized repository, but the stability could improve

"It seems to be quite scalable."
"The most valuable feature of Bitbucket is its capabilities."
"It's straightforward to adapt to, with user-friendly features and a convenient UI."

"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."
"Overall product rating: ten out of ten."
 

Cons

"Apache Subversion should be easier to use."
