Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"The code reviews and the ability to support DevSecOps are very important."
"We have a couple of different tools that allow us to tie source code changes to report bugs. It's integrated with a bug tracking system and also integrated with what requires a tracking system. So we have better facilities. We get with the command line and can type all that stuff in and get the same kind of trust, but when we d it all manually, it's not likely to happen."
"The initial deployment is rather straightforward and only takes 30 minutes to an hour."
"The most valuable thing we have found is the workloads are good in Jira and we are able to control the access."
"The most valuable feature of Bitbucket is its issue management."
"The most valuable features are the scripts used for migration purposes and to create new repository releases."
"Bitbucket is feasible and friendly compared to Visual Studio DevOps on the Microsoft platform."
"I use the solution for website management."
"The features I am most impressed by is the automation."

"The implementation is easy."
"The best feature is that we can access it from anywhere if we have GitHub credentials."
"I like that it's easy to use and because it's accessible from a terminal or a graphical user interface if needed. I also like that we can pass comments from Linux if required."
 

Cons

"The online documentation isn't sufficient for configuration at an enterprise level. If new issues arise, vendor support may be necessary."
"Bitbucket could improve pipeline building and deployment. Our deployments are not using the Bitbucket. Deployments we are going through Azure DevOps, but the integration is happening in Bitbucket."
"I would like to see the integration with some of the cloud service providers improved."
"Bitbucket can improve by integrating a tool to manage conflict code. This would save time."
"There could be more AI features included in the product."

"The UI can be more user-friendly."
"If the solution could provide more language support options such as Korean, it would be helpful."

"The product needs to improve its UI."
"In our company, we sometimes feel the need to have certain kinds of reports, but we never get those customized reports in Git's dashboard."
"We would like to see tutorials added to the product, for new users to follow so that they can optimize their use of the solution."
"New developers sometimes find it difficult to call a review or create a request."
"It would be preferable if the updates could be completed at a faster pace."
