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

"Overall product rating: ten out of ten."
"The tool's UI is better."
"I find Bitbucket's branching, pull requests, and branch mergers very valuable."
"The planning model is good, and so is the suite of applications around it."
"The code reviews and the ability to support DevSecOps are very important."
"You can use Bitbucket to whitelist IP addresses during deployment."
"The initial setup was straightforward, especially leveraging its cloud platform deployment options."
"Bitbucket lets me create new projects in a few clicks and check out files in a seamless and integrated manner."
"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."
"It will be useful for teams to automate and reduce manual work."
"The solution is easy to use, and it has very clear documentation."
 

Cons

"We need an improved automation feature for the cloud."
"I feel the pricing for Bitbucket is on the higher end."
"In terms of the commits, we currently create a pull request, however, we are not able to assign any."
"Bitbucket pipelines could be enhanced by adding scalability and caching."
"Currently, what's lacking in Bitbucket is the assignment feature."
"There are many places where the product could be expanded to make it a more complete solution."
"I would like to see the tool's desktop version."
"It goes well with other Atlassian solutions like Jira or Bamboo, but integration with other third-party solutions is more complex."
"The pricing is quite high."
"One thing we faced issues with is that Liquibase does not show the exact error, which added to the complexity."
"We were not able to delete some of the tables because of a security issue."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Bitbucket may be perceived as costly for smaller companies."
"I rate Bitbucket's pricing a five out of ten."
"The product offers competitive pricing structures for small to medium-sized businesses, which is especially beneficial for smaller teams."
"I did not pay for the license as I was using a corporate license. But I think the pricing is fair."
"Bitbucket is an inexpensive product."
"Bitbucket is a cost-effective solution. It is the cheapest in the market. It is lower than GitLab and GitHub."
"We have approximately 40 licenses for Bitbucket."
"I rate the product price as two on a scale of one to ten, where ten means that it is a very expensive tool."
"The pricing is fair."
"Liquibase is an open-source solution."
