Featured Reviews

Prathamesh DMarathe - PeerSpot reviewer
Seamless collaboration and merge conflict resolution improve code management
I use the Bitbucket tool to store the code repository and maintain a CI/CD pipeline, allowing multiple developers to work on different code branches. We can integrate with the developer Marathe bridge branch, enabling it to be pushed into the production environment within the CI/CD.  I use…
Sudheer Kumar Jamjam - PeerSpot reviewer
Offers integration with multiple databases, stable product and reduced our manual intervention
I would recommend using it. To learn Liquibase, one should have some database knowledge. If the person is from a DBA background, they would be able to learn quickly. But if they are from an application or infrastructure role, it's medium complex. Before getting started, you should thoroughly go through the documentation and follow the latest changes deployed by the Liquibase product team. Basically, when using the product, you should be able to understand it and stay updated on the latest releases. Overall, I would rate the product a nine out of ten. Organizations should have this kind of tool to reduce manual intervention. The one point they could improve on is documentation, which they haven't clarified, and they need to work on that a lot.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Code check in and code version control."
"The most valuable thing we have found is the workloads are good in Jira and we are able to control the access."
"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."
"Bitbucket is an integral part of our CI/CD project."
"The code reviews and the ability to support DevSecOps are very important."
"The setup was okay, and it was well-integrated."
"Bitbucket works fine for what I'm doing. It's slightly different from GitHub, but it's a good tool for storing code."
"The tool's UI is better."
"It will be useful for teams to automate and reduce manual work."
"They have some nice features around the automation of rule checking. They have a rules engine that checks the SQL code so that you can actually do your edit checks on the validity of the SQL code. If you don't want certain tables to be able to have certain things done to them, you can have it checked for that. It's a very flexible way to kind of do an automated peer review of the SQL code to catch things before you actually try to deploy it."
"The solution is easy to use, and it has very clear documentation."
 

Cons

"I would like to see the integration with some of the cloud service providers improved."
"One of the areas the solution could improve on is when there is a merging conflict it is quite confusing. When I am having a merging conflict I get stuck on the page, then I need to search how to handle the particular problem. For example, finding what the commands are which can be used."
"Bitbucket could improve its security. For example, the user access security could improve."
"Bitbucket should integrate a static code analyzer."
"The online documentation isn't sufficient for configuration at an enterprise level. If new issues arise, vendor support may be necessary."
"Technical support is not very fast."
"In future releases, more integration is always a valuable aspect to consider."
"Bitbucket should consider having a CI/CD if they don’t have it already."
"The pricing is quite high."
"We were not able to delete some of the tables because of a security issue."
"One thing we faced issues with is that Liquibase does not show the exact error, which added to the complexity."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product offers competitive pricing structures for small to medium-sized businesses, which is especially beneficial for smaller teams."
"I rate the product price as two on a scale of one to ten, where ten means that it is a very expensive tool."
"I rate Bitbucket's pricing a five out of ten."
"We find that the pricing is very affordable."
"I rate the pricing an eight out of ten because it is cheaper than solutions like GitLab."
"Bitbucket is an inexpensive product."
"I rate the price from Bitbucket a four out of five."
"Bitbucket is a low-priced tool."
"Liquibase is an open-source solution."
"The pricing is fair."
