Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It has a nice user experience to review PRs and provides great pipeline features, integrating well with other Atlassian products."
"This is a very dependable product that is easy to use and it has an excellent GUI interface."
"Bitbucket is a standard source code repository with all the features you would expect. It supports Git and SVN. It's an extensive tool that provides us with merging, branching, and change management capabilities. You can compare the changes with the current and previous versions."
"What I liked the most about this program is that it integrates seamlessly with JIRA."
"The version control feature for our code and the security aspect is valuable to us."
"You can use Bitbucket to whitelist IP addresses during deployment."
"The most valuable thing we have found is the workloads are good in Jira and we are able to control the access."
"The product's most valuable feature is output backup."
"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."
"The most valuable feature of Git is the ease of tracking in time what the snapshot of the code was at a particular moment. The versioning is good."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the branch management functionality."
"The most valuable feature of Git is its ability to track updates, such as firmware documentation. Additionally, many people can make changes to code without problems. It is able to solve conflicts very easily."
"I use the solution for website management."
"So far, the product has been stable. Stability-wise, I rate the solution an eight to nine out of ten."
"We use the tool to store codes."
"The most valuable feature is having access to the local country repository even if we have problems with distance access."
 

Cons

"Bitbucket can improve by integrating a tool to manage conflict code. This would save time."
"I would like to see the tool's desktop version."
"There are many places where the product could be expanded to make it a more complete solution."
"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."
"I think the configuration can be improved because it is getting more complicated and not very well organized."
"Sometimes we struggle with searching on repositories. It is a bit challenging sometimes to pinpoint the code or repositories when just filtering by repositories."
"Currently, what's lacking in Bitbucket is the assignment feature."
"It would be beneficial to have a straightforward mechanism for integrating the initial tasks defined in Bitbucket with Jira when the need arises."
"There is nothing that could be improved at this time."
"The platform could have a feature for monitoring data recovery similar to Azure."
"I would like to see less updates with the product."
"If the file changes are on the same line, we need to resolve a merge conflict manually. Let's say there is a merge conflict on line 50 because we have multiple commits on the same line number. Git could add some artificial intelligence to resolve the conflict automatically."
"The product needs to improve its UI."
"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."
"The price could be improved."
"In a future release, the user interface should be easier to use and more intuitive."
