Featured Reviews

Cuneyt-Gurses - PeerSpot reviewer
Helps us improve our development workflows and enhance team collaboration
Our primary use case for Bitbucket revolves around version control and collaborative development. We utilize it extensively to manage our codebase, facilitate Git operations, and automate our CI/CD pipelines on the Bitbucket Cloud platform. This setup enables seamless collaboration among our team…
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 seems to be quite scalable."
"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 feature of Bitbucket is its capabilities."
"The code reviews and the ability to support DevSecOps are very important."
"It allows me to track the code from ten years back, which is incredibly useful when trying to understand certain implementations in a project."
"Bitbucket is feasible and friendly compared to Visual Studio DevOps on the Microsoft platform."
"The most valuable feature of Bitbucket is you can see the differences between the fresh code and the old code before you merge. Additionally, the solution is easy to use and well-integrated."
"Bitbucket is very secure and easy to handle compared to GitLab."
"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."
"It will be useful for teams to automate and reduce manual work."
 

Cons

"There could be more AI features included in the product."
"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 would like to see the integration with some of the cloud service providers improved."
"In terms of the commits, we currently create a pull request, however, we are not able to assign any. This could be an area for improvement."
"The solution is not user-friendly. Right now, the solution is not so easy to understand. It needs to update its design and overall user experience."
"The online documentation isn't sufficient for configuration at an enterprise level. If new issues arise, vendor support may be necessary."
"I feel the pricing for Bitbucket is on the higher end."
"I think the configuration can be improved because it is getting more complicated and not very well organized."
"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

"Bitbucket is a cost-effective solution. It is the cheapest in the market. It is lower than GitLab and GitHub."
"I rate the pricing a seven out of ten because it is expensive."
"Bitbucket may be perceived as costly for smaller companies."
"When it comes to licensing we have the standard plan."
"I rate the price from Bitbucket a four out of five."
"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."
"With our small number of users, our licensing fees are approximately $10 USD per month."
"The pricing is fair."
"Liquibase is an open-source solution."
