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

"It has a nice user experience to review PRs and provides great pipeline features, integrating well with other Atlassian products."
"The code reviews and the ability to support DevSecOps are very important."
"The tool's automation helped because we onboarded a lot of projects and teams into Bitbucket. The product's automation helped us complete activities in two days which previously used to take around two weeks to complete. We have completely automated processes that were earlier manual. It has good integration with Jira and Jenkins."
"We use Bitbucket for Jira, Confluence, and Jenkins and we have an automation pipeline. Whenever the coaching is done in Bitbucket we run an automation pipeline from the build, create installations, and tests all in one pipeline. It is done automatically."
"The most valuable thing we have found is the workloads are good in Jira and we are able to control the access."
"It seems to be quite scalable."
"I find Bitbucket's branching, pull requests, and branch mergers very valuable."
"We can watch the newly implemented code. So it's quite nice to organize the teams to see what part of the work is done and what part of the code is already old or new. It is very good for that kind of management."
"The solution is easy to use, and it has very clear documentation."
"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."
 

Cons

"There could be more AI features included in the product."
"The installation of Bitbucket on our server was not as easy as other Atlassian products, so it is something that can be improved."
"Bitbucket's Initial setup is a little complicated because you need to install and configure the solution. It can take one or two days to deploy Bitbucket. If you have a high workload, you can deploy it on multiple server farms as needed"
"Even with the automation, we've had some situations where we've had mistakes. They've integrated things into the wrong place, so there's a fairly steep learning curve."
"Bitbucket's stability isn't flawless. It has crashed on me occasionally, but I haven't yet lost anything after a crash."
"Bitbucket pipelines could be enhanced by adding scalability and caching."
"Bitbucket could improve pipeline building and deployment. Our deployments are not using the Bitbucket. Deployments we are going through Azure DevOps, but the integration is happening in Bitbucket."
"I would like to see the integration with some of the cloud service providers improved."
"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."
"The pricing is quite high."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"With our small number of users, our licensing fees are approximately $10 USD per month."
"I rate the price from Bitbucket a four out of five."
"Bitbucket may be perceived as costly for smaller companies."
"You have to buy additional licenses when you exceed 50 users."
"I rate the pricing an eight out of ten because it is cheaper than solutions like GitLab."
"A full licensing cost is paid for Bitbucket."
"I rate Bitbucket's pricing a five out of ten."
"I rate the pricing a seven out of ten because it is expensive."
"Liquibase is an open-source solution."
"The pricing is fair."
