"In Bitbucket, manual processes are needed to handle changes between repositories."
"Although Bitbucket is scalable, there's always room for improvement in terms of scalability."
"Bitbucket's stability isn't flawless. It has crashed on me occasionally, but I haven't yet lost anything after a crash."

"In a future release, the user interface should be easier to use and more intuitive."
