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.

Pros

"Apache Subversion is a scalable solution."
"We have developed automation to speed up common repetitive processes."
"What I liked the most about this program is that it integrates seamlessly with JIRA."
"The most valuable feature of Bitbucket is its issue management."
"Code check in and code version control."
"Git is Bitbucket's most valuable feature."
"The tool's automation helped because we onboarded a lot of projects and teams into Bitbucket. The product's automation helped us complete activities in two days which previously used to take around two weeks to complete. We have completely automated processes that were earlier manual. It has good integration with Jira and Jenkins."
"The setup of Bitbucket is simple."
"The product's most valuable feature is output backup."
"You can use Bitbucket to whitelist IP addresses during deployment."
 

Cons

"Apache Subversion should be easier to use."
"The most valuable feature is CLI."
"There is room for improvement in the workflow. Other similar tools offer automation and more streamlined workflows, which Bitbucket currently lacks."
"The scalability for the cloud version can be improved."
"Bitbucket should consider having a CI/CD if they don’t have it already."
"The installation of Bitbucket on our server was not as easy as other Atlassian products, so it is something that can be improved."
"We need an improved automation feature for the cloud."
"I would like to see the tool's desktop version."
"I would like to see the security logs option on the tool directly. The current way to work with security logs is through an email protocol."
"In terms of the commits, we currently create a pull request, however, we are not able to assign any."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The tool's price is good."
"I understand Bitbucket's cost is on the higher side."
"With our small number of users, our licensing fees are approximately $10 USD per month."
"When it comes to licensing we have the standard plan."
"A full licensing cost is paid for Bitbucket."
"You have to buy additional licenses when you exceed 50 users."
"When you increase from ten people to anything higher the price increase to one thousand five hundred. That is unsatisfactory and they should have a gradual price slope."
"I rate the pricing a seven out of ten because it is expensive."
"Bitbucket is a low-priced tool."
