Enterprise SCM done the right way

Rating: 10 out of 10

Incentivized

October 31, 2024

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Bitbucket is used as SCM for the repositories of all our software projects.

Pros

Code Version control manager
Support on Multiple IDE (Git based)
Seamless integration with other Atlassian tools

Cons

Mobile compatibility
Static code analysis
Pipeline creation syntax

Likelihood to Recommend

Bitbucket cloud is best suited for corporate projects where security and confidentiality over the code base are essentials and non-negotiable. For personal open source projects, where you want to collaborate or show as portafolio and there are no worries about code base cloning, there's no need to use it.

"Git" streamlined with Bitbucket!

Rating: 9 out of 10

Incentivized

October 25, 2024

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I've used Bitbucket at two companies, both of which used it for software version control. We have several Bitbucket projects, each containing multiple repositories, including our software products. Different repos have their own permissions.

Pros

Integration with other Atlassian products, such as Jira
User authorization and authentication
CI/CD

Cons

Very minor mistakes in support documentation

Likelihood to Recommend

Bitbucket perfectly meets our needs! If I had to gripe, I'd say it's less well-known than GitHub or GitLab.

Bitbucket could be better but its still a valuable tool.

Rating: 6 out of 10

June 27, 2024

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Bitbucket as our all-purpose git repository for versioning files on all the projects that we work on, whether internal or external. We also give our clients access to some of those repositories and use a few integrations with our deployment system.

Pros

Git versioning.
Web triggers.
Permissions

Cons

Lack of interface to solve conflicts.
Pipelines are complicated to create.
Downtimes are more common than we would like.

Likelihood to Recommend

When advanced resources like pipelines are not needed, and the user wants only the git repository side of the tool, it works fine and is mostly reliable. It's also very well integrated with Jira if the company is using it, too. When more advanced types of deployment are needed or if the development team is big on the same project, better tools are on the market.

Bitbucket - A reliable and easy solution for managing your code

Rating: 10 out of 10

August 11, 2022

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Be it the case where your company has just been founded and there are only one or two engineers, or it has matured into a big organization with huge teams; at both the stages you need to maintain your code base properly. For us, Bitbucket has been the sole code hosting and collaboration tool from the beginning of our organization. For all our projects, we trust Bitbucket.

Pros

The best code hosting & collaboration tool
Very good integration with task management systems such as Jira
Provides easy and effective CI/CD
Code review is amazing on Bitbucket

Cons

Seeing the older commits. If we want to track a specific piece of code in a file by visiting some of the older commits from dropdown, then currently if we select on any commit, the dropdown resets; thus losing track of commit that was selected.
The dashboard where the pull requests of all the projects are shown could be improved by adding more filters. Currently there are limited options and requires us to travel to that specific repository if we want to apply any filter.

Likelihood to Recommend

Throughout my career, I have used multiple repository management solutions, and Bitbucket provides one of the cleanliest and easiest solution. The ecosystem and interconnectivity with their other products that they provide is amazing. It makes repository management, task management and tracking a piece of cake, making everyone in the organization to be aware of the status of their product development.

Secured repository hosting service from Atlassian!

Rating: 7 out of 10

February 18, 2022

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We're searching for a nice ecosystem of Jira and Bitbucket, and we've been using Bitbucket for a repository hosting service. Some of the benefits I have realized are

Smooth and user-friendly user interface(UI)
Easy to use
Fast and safe code review functionality
Code search capability

Bitbucket had an excellent integration with all of Jira and Bitbucket. Bitbucket's user interface is intuitive and maintaining repositories is a breeze.

Pros

Remote hosting service (Devops)
Collaborative working on repository
User-friendly UI

Cons

Continuous integration and continuous deployment ( CI/CD)
SSH key handling
Open-source projects (popular projects)

Likelihood to Recommend

Bitbucket is a really good platform to work collaboratively over remote repositories. It provides repository hosting, which works with version control systems like git. Bitbucket is well suited when a team or group of people wants to work simultaneously without any conflicts. Bitbucket seems to be useful for users who do have good industry knowledge I won't recommend this to new users; I will prefer GitHub over Bitbucket for new users.

BitBucket: Secure and Simple Source Controll

Rating: 5 out of 10

December 16, 2021

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We're using BitBucket for a very long to host our git-based source code repositories in it. Earlier we were using SubVersion (SVN) to manage our source code and we found BitBucket better in all means whether its underneath technology, UI/UX, Security, Collaboration, Commit & merge request, User/Group, and repository management, etc.

Pros

Hosting Source code repositories.
User and Group management.
Sending Email notifications on Commits and merges.
It has a tight integration with Atlassian tools such as Jira, Confluence etc.

Cons

It doesn't have a built in CI/CD.
It doesn't have anything else other than source code repositories hosting.
It has stopped support of HTTPs based authentication only SSH is supported.

Likelihood to Recommend

If you're looking for hosting your Git-based source code repositories or simply managing your source code, BitBucket does it well. You can create projects in BitBucket and source code repositories under the projects. Also, you can manage access to projects for users/groups using role-based access control. BitBucket will not suit you if you are into DevOps processes as it only manages your source code nothing other than that.

Bitbucket is the ultimate version control server ever need

Rating: 10 out of 10

Incentivized

December 3, 2021

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

As part of the software development process we need to figure out how to manage the version control, we need to keep the code private and the best option for us was Bitbucket, it fulfilled all the needs we have as a team. We're able to organize projects by clients and create groups, and of course using git to upload our changes.

Pros

Access Control
Organize projects
Handles security pretty easy

Cons

I'd like to see an alert mechanism whenever make changes to the groups

Likelihood to Recommend

As a team we need to push code into the repo on daily basis, Bitbucket has proven that is a reliable and secure server to save and get the code available in no time. The administration part is really easy and there's an extra tool for every developer profile either if you want to use the console or a GUI like sourcetree.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We've been using Bitbucket since the start of the company, by our IT team. It helps us synchronize work between developers and different teams, even other organizations. This service is perfect for private projects and has a ton of integrations with different tools like Slack, which helps us keep track of code updates and project development.

Pros

Ease of use
Security
Stability

Cons

Pricing (as a Brazilian customer, we pay in Dollars instead of our local currency)
Online merge tool
SSH keys management

Likelihood to Recommend

Since the very start of our business, we've been using Bitbucket services to collaborate and develop new projects. It's very stable and reliable, it rarely had gone offline in almost 9 years of continuous use.
Also, Atlassian (the Bitbucket owner) has created a great GUI tool called Sourcetree, enabling even inexperienced developers to collaborate in a git environment.

Easy and Predictable Git with tight Atlassian Integrations

Rating: 10 out of 10

Incentivized

April 24, 2021

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Bitbucket is perfect for all sized companies - it works even if you are using the free version and it works even better with the paid versions. Initially, we started out using bitbucket as simply a code repository so we could quickly set up projects - as we expanded and started using Atlassian's project management tools then it became important for us to integrate the development teams with the PM teams. The integrations gave Project Management teams insights into the technical issues without necessarily being burdened by the details. I especially like the ability to have control over changes being deployed directly into production - running continuous integrations to ensure the code quality is maintained!

Pros

Atlassian Integrations especially JIRA.
Easily configurable continuous Integration.
Product backlogs can be visible from Bitbucket.

Cons

Prettier Project Pages

Likelihood to Recommend

In the Caribbean - with limited resources, it is nice to know a company will be there in assisting you to grow. They will start you off with a very good free tier and you can scale easier on a predictable budget. Bitbucket works especially when you are using Atlassian's toolset. If you aren't married to the company - then you can explore others like GitHub which offers comparable features without much compromise.

Easy version control for your code

Rating: 9 out of 10

April 19, 2021

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Our IT team uses Bitbucket for all our Git repositories. A few years ago, we were on a self-hosted Visual Source Safe system and it was not sustainable for us. Since we were moving to Jira, Bitbucket became a very attractive addition. We migrated all of our repositories out of VSS and into Bitbucket and since then have enjoyed using it for code review, pull requests, version control, integration with Jira and automation orchestration. Jira and Bitbucket integration has been a joy to use.

Pros

Great integration with Jira
Easy to use
Cost

Cons

Can be slow sometimes
Stability

Likelihood to Recommend

Bitbucket works really well with Jira and Atlassian ecosystem. If you are in the Atlassian ecosystem, definitely consider Bitbucket as your version control repository. Bitbucket shines in code review process and also in pull requests. It is easy for users to get used to. If you are doing CI/CD and pipeline, you'll like Bitbucket also.
