Centralized repository, but the stability could improve
Apache Subversion is a scalable solution. We have our personal service, and we were nine developers. In our company the whole company uses the same instances for Git, but in but last five years, we have had one instance, per project. For one instance, there were ten to twenty users.
Julian Lewis - PeerSpot reviewer
It's a good solution for storing code, but the usability and integration could be better

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The tool's price is good."

"I rate the price from Bitbucket a four out of five."
"You have to buy additional licenses when you exceed 50 users."
"Bitbucket is an inexpensive product."
"We have approximately 40 licenses for Bitbucket."

"Sometimes there are issues in obtaining licenses and the pricing could be improved."
"Licensing is on a monthly basis, it's available on our website. They have a free version, the pro version and then they have an enterprise version, and we're using a kind of the middle of the pro version for about $7 per user per month."
