Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution is easy to use. If I need to check out my latest code or I need to send my local code to the depositories it is simple. Overall it is has been a good experience from my side using this solution."
"It's straightforward to adapt to, with user-friendly features and a convenient UI."
"What I liked the most about this program is that it integrates seamlessly with JIRA."
"Bitbucket is definitely a tool to consider if somebody is still on CVS. It is a great tool and well integrated with Bamboo."
"It seems to be quite scalable."
"We have approximately 300 to 400 users using this solution. Our whole organization uses it. I rate the scalability of Bitbucket an eight out of ten."
"It allows me to track the code from ten years back, which is incredibly useful when trying to understand certain implementations in a project."
"I find Bitbucket's branching, pull requests, and branch mergers very valuable."
"The implementation is easy."
"I use the solution for website management."
"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."
"Git's learning curve is shallow, making the solution easy to use after a few tutorials."
"The scalability of the solution is good."
"Git is a product everyone uses, so it's almost inescapable. I like the fact that there is a large ecosystem around it. You can bolt various graphical user interfaces onto it or sign up for various repositories like GitHub and AWS CodeCommit. Git has a large community, so there are lots of resources and knowledge bases you can use."
"I believe it is beneficial to maintain a detailed log or history of who did what to a project and which user committed to the change."
"The product is easy to use."
 

Cons

"Sometimes the performance of Bitbucket is lagging; the UI loading part has some glitches at times, creating frustration for the developers."
"Bitbucket pipelines could be enhanced by adding scalability and caching."
"The online documentation isn't sufficient for configuration at an enterprise level. If new issues arise, vendor support may be necessary."
"Bitbucket could improve search and indexing capabilities. There is only basic searching available. There is only the ability to index the main branch but not the subbranches. The search capabilities are dodgy."
"I feel the pricing for Bitbucket is on the higher end."
"It goes well with other Atlassian solutions like Jira or Bamboo, but integration with other third-party solutions is more complex."
"There could be more AI features included in the product."
"Bitbucket should integrate a static code analyzer."
"About the configuration it is a little bit difficult, it can be improved."
"The platform could have a feature for monitoring data recovery similar to Azure."
"I believe there is room for improvement in preventing work loss due to conflicts or overwriting. Another area for improvement could be implementing features for automated code verification within Git."
"The price could be improved."
"More security is always welcome in my opinion."
"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."
"If the solution could provide more language support options such as Korean, it would be helpful."
"The scalability could be better. I think it requires some discipline to have large teams working on the same project without facing problems merging code. I'm using Git for personal projects, but I know companies face merge conflicts when more than one person is working on code simultaneously."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Bitbucket may be perceived as costly for smaller companies."
"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."
"You have to buy additional licenses when you exceed 50 users."
"Bitbucket is a low-priced tool."
"With our small number of users, our licensing fees are approximately $10 USD per month."
"I rate Bitbucket's pricing a five out of ten."
"Bitbucket is a cost-effective solution. It is the cheapest in the market. It is lower than GitLab and GitHub."
"I did not pay for the license as I was using a corporate license. But I think the pricing is fair."
"Git is completely free."
"The tool is an open-source product."
"There are some extra costs to Git, but it depends on your use case."
"Git is free and you don't have to pay for it."
"As a student, I didn't have to pay for the license."
"I rate the tool's pricing a five out of ten."
"We are using the open-source version, which is available free of charge."
"Git is an open-source software."
