I use Bitbucket for plugins and Active Directory integration. It helps me onboard users for an automation suit. I also use it to check codes and generate reports on a daily basis.
An user-friendly solution that helps to automate manual processes
Pros and Cons

It's reliable, and the transition was smooth from on-prem to the cloud
Pros and Cons
- "Bitbucket works, and it's reliable"
- "I rate Bitbucket five out of 10 for affordability. It isn't cheap."
What is our primary use case?
We use Bitbucket to store the company's proprietary code and open-source projects and share them internally.
What is most valuable?
Bitbucket works, and it's reliable
For how long have I used the solution?
I have used Bitbucket for five years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
I rate Bitbucket nine out of 10 for stability. We haven't had major issues.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

How are customer service and support?
I called Bitbucket support once with a question. I was pleased with their response.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
I use GitHub, which is also fine. We chose Bitbucket because it was a smooth transition from on-prem to cloud. We were already using the on-prem solution, so it was smooth and easy.
How was the initial setup?
One of our guys deployed it, but I think it was pretty straightforward.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
I rate Bitbucket five out of 10 for affordability. It isn't cheap, but I think it's reasonable. The free tiers don't include everything I needed. I like to keep things simple. There shouldn't be all these features that you need to pay more to get. For example, some Atlassian tools have separate licenses, but others belong to a single Atlassian account. It's a little confusing.
What other advice do I have?
I rate Bitbucket eight out of 10.

Solution Architect at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees
Reliable, cost effective, but lacking flexibility
Pros and Cons
- "We have approximately 300 to 400 users using this solution. Our whole organization uses it. I rate the scalability of Bitbucket an eight out of ten."
- "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."
What is our primary use case?
We have a Bitbucket server internally, that we manage with our own IT team. We use the solution as a software control repository.
What needs improvement?
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.
In a future release, the way they manage the permission of the records in the solution could be better. They fit well if you're only running one or two projects. If you have a lot of projects and records, the current permission model is not flexible. You have a challenge if you want to provide permissions across all the projects to be the same. Additionally, if you want to have specific permission there are limitations. There requires a lot of redundant work to accomplish what we want.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using Bitbucket for approximately six years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
Bitbucket has some initial stability issues because of our large team using the solution. However, this was later resolved.
I rate the stability of Bitbucket an eight out of ten.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
We have approximately 300 to 400 users using this solution. Our whole organization uses it.
I rate the scalability of Bitbucket an eight out of ten.
How are customer service and support?
I have not used the support from Bitbucket. However, my team has used the support. The support has been fine, they have not had any downtime.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
I have used GitHub and it has more features than Bitbucket. Additionally, I have used GitLab.
GitHub is a more mature solution compared to Bitbucket. The search capability has improved in GitHub since they are integrated with Opensoft. You can create your workflow and actions and it becomes easier to do things. GitHub can help a lot. The only season why our organization didn't adopt it is because of the high pricing.
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup of Bitbucket is straightforward.
What about the implementation team?
The initial setup was in-house. However, it is possible they had some assistance.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
Bitbucket is a cost-effective solution. It is the cheapest in the market. It is lower than GitLab and GitHub.
What other advice do I have?
For general company usage, Bitbucket should fit the purpose. If you have a larger team you better look for other options. For a more complete solution for your CICD, I would recommend GitHub.
I rate Bitbucket a seven out of ten.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

What is most valuable?
Bitbucket is significantly cheaper compared to GitHub and it provides on-premises hosting.
What needs improvement?

For how long have I used the solution?
I have worked with Bitbucket now for four or five years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
The stability is very good. Even with the on-premises solution, we did not face any issues so far. I can only remember one or two times we may have had an issue.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
Bitbucket is easy to scale and given that the cost, now I think even GitHub is charging based on the users for a team, but BitBucket is on-premises, and it has limitless scalability. We have six hundred users currently involved in working with coding.
What other advice do I have?
I would rate Bitbucket a nine out of ten.

It's a good solution for storing code, but the usability and integration could be better
Pros and Cons
- "Bitbucket works fine for what I'm doing. It's slightly different from GitHub, but it's a good tool for storing code."
- "Bitbucket's usability and integration with other tools could be improved somewhat. My other issue is that Bitbucket, GitHub, GitLab, and all the other ones use slightly different jargon for the same things. They should come up with a standard language for all these tools."
- "Bitbucket's usability and integration with other tools could be improved somewhat."
What is our primary use case?
I'm mainly using Bitbucket as a code repository for storing the configurations and templates of my monitoring tools. We have them stored locally, and Bitbucket manages changes and builds, so we have a means of rolling back if there are any issues.
There are about 10 to 15 users in the company at the moment. They want to expand usage, but there's still little uptake. It's an old-fashioned, traditional IT place that they work in.
What is most valuable?
Bitbucket works fine for what I'm doing. It's slightly different from GitHub, but it's a good tool for storing code.
What needs improvement?
Bitbucket's usability and integration with other tools could be improved somewhat. My other issue is that Bitbucket, GitHub, GitLab, and all the other ones use slightly different jargon for the same things. They should come up with a standard language for all these tools.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using Bitbucket off and on for about five or six years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
BitBucket is stable.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
BitBucket seems scalable, but we haven't used it at scale, so I wouldn't know.
How was the initial setup?
Setting up BitBucket is fairly straightforward. It has its own APIs, and it's easy to access. Everything is in the cloud.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
I believe it's a monthly license subscription, but you get a discount for paying by the year, so I'd recommend that.
What other advice do I have?
I rate BitBucket seven out of 10. If you're considering BitBucket, do your research and make sure it's the product for you. There are several options out there.

Software Integration Engineer at Thales
Integrates well, scalable, and good support
Pros and Cons
- "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, and it is done automatically."
- "Bitbucket could improve its security. For example, the user access security could improve."
What is our primary use case?
Bitbucket can be deployed on the cloud or on-premise.
We use Bitbucket to set up an end-to-end integration system.

What needs improvement?
Bitbucket could improve its security. For example, the user access security could improve.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using Bitbucket for approximately six years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
Bitbucket is stable. However, every one or two months it crashes, it depends on the usage. When Jira is down after a long weekend Bitbucket might not be working. There could be other reasons it is not working and not necessarily the solution's fault.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
The scalability of Bitbucket is good.
We have a lot of developers working and we are moving the solution locally to the cloud next year. We plan to increase the usage of the solution.
