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

"The most valuable feature of Bitbucket is its capabilities."
"Bitbucket has a pull request-based method, similar to Git's merge request feature."
"Bitbucket is an integral part of our CI/CD project."
"The initial deployment is rather straightforward and only takes 30 minutes to an hour."
"Its key strength lies in securing and centralizing code repositories."
"BitBucket is a reliable and user-friendly product."
"Bitbucket lets me create new projects in a few clicks and check out files in a seamless and integrated manner."
"Bitbucket is a standard git implementation with perfectly coordinated screens, it's secure, and we have had no problems with 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."
"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."
 

Cons

"Sometimes we struggle with searching on repositories. It is a bit challenging sometimes to pinpoint the code or repositories when just filtering by repositories."
"Bitbucket could improve its security. For example, the user access security could improve."
"I rate Bitbucket five out of 10 for affordability. It isn't cheap."
"The UI could be a little better compared to competing solutions."
"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."
"I would like to see the security logs option on the tool directly. The current way to work with security logs is through an email protocol."
"Technical support is not very fast."
"When users are given access for the first time, they should have some basic setups to help them specify their purposes."
"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."
"The pricing is quite high."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Bitbucket is a cost-effective solution. It is the cheapest in the market. It is lower than GitLab and GitHub."
"A full licensing cost is paid for Bitbucket."
"I rate the price from Bitbucket a four out of five."
"When you increase from ten people to anything higher the price increase to one thousand five hundred. That is unsatisfactory and they should have a gradual price slope."
"With our small number of users, our licensing fees are approximately $10 USD per month."
"You have to buy additional licenses when you exceed 50 users."
"I rate the pricing a seven out of ten because it is expensive."
"Bitbucket is a low-priced tool."
"Liquibase is an open-source solution."
"The pricing is fair."
