Comes with a strong planning model, though its competition outclasses it
Pros and Cons
  • "The planning model is good, and so is the suite of applications around it."
  • "Bitbucket should come with code review pre-integrated, which would be better than integrating another tool into the solution."

What is our primary use case?

We use the solution for source control.

What is most valuable?

The planning model is good, and so is the suite of applications around it. Bitbucket makes it easy to manage ops, integration, and unified login.

What needs improvement?

Bitbucket should come with code review pre-integrated, which would be better than integrating another tool into the solution.

For how long have I used the solution?

The organization I'm working with has worked with the solution for about six months.

893,244 professionals have used our research since 2012.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

I rate Bitbucket's stability an eight out of ten for our use, keeping in mind we just use it for source control.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

We have 20 users on Bitbucket. I have seen Bitbucket expand to hundreds of developers across multiple teams, and I didn't find any issues then.

How are customer service and support?

My IT team has contacted customer support for Jira, probably to enable SS4. I didn't hear any complaints from the IT team that the resources were slow. They were able to resolve the issue pretty fast.

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup is straightforward.

What about the implementation team?

We managed the installation and configuration in-house.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

I rate Bitbucket's pricing a five out of ten.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

Comparing Bitbucket with GitLab, I would have chosen GitLab earlier because of its pricing model, though their new model has gotten a little expensive. Likewise, GitLab is better feature-wise.

If the organization has adopted Atlassian, I will choose BitBucket. Still, if somebody has chosen Visual Studio Online or Azure DevOps as their product management tool for their development activities, GitHub would be a better option.

What other advice do I have?

Most providers provide scalable solutions, so that has not been something I've been concerned about. I'll know how to deal with it if I ever hit a hard limit. Likewise, hosting is not a big challenge. What concerns me is the service's features, whether it's BitBucket or GitHub. Similarly, I would be more concerned with creating the build pipeline, how well it's engineered, and supporting other platforms. For example, having the Mac OS or the iOS build tools available. A building environment is what I look for. And as long as the core repositories are working, scalability is my last concern.

When choosing a service, it's not just about the service alone but what the organization has adopted because that greatly determines what we choose. Otherwise, we would be competing with what the market provides in the future. 90% of future challenges would be because we poorly chose a tool.

I rate Bitbucket a six out of ten.

An user-friendly solution that helps to automate manual processes
Pros and Cons
  • "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."
  • "Bitbucket should integrate a static code analyzer."

What is our primary use case?

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. 

How has it helped my organization?

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

What needs improvement?

Bitbucket should integrate a static code analyzer.

How are customer service and support?

My interaction with the customer support team is good. 

How would you rate customer service and support?

Positive

How was the initial setup?

I would rate Bitbucket's setup an eight out of ten since we had a lot of documentation available. We completed the tool's deployment over three to four months. We had a small team of two to four guys to help us with the deployment. One person is enough to handle the product's maintenance. 

What about the implementation team?

We didn't rely on any third-party to complete the tool's deployment. 

What other advice do I have?

Bitbucket is user-friendly and easy to configure. I would rate it a nine out of ten.

Beneficial code preview, highly stable, and easy to use
Pros and Cons
  • "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 can improve by integrating a tool to manage conflict code. This would save time."

What is our primary use case?

We use Bitbucket for managing and merging code versions, as well as for continuous integration when deploying code to different environments. It helps us to identify and resolve conflicts and to track the changes made to the code by different developers.

What is most valuable?

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.

What needs improvement?

Bitbucket can improve by integrating a tool to manage conflict code. This would save time.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using Bitbucket for approximately five years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The solution is stable. I did not find any bugs.

I rate the solution a ten out of ten.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

The scalability of Bitbucket is not limited, but when there are many users it takes a bit of time. For example, every click that you do is slow sometimes. However, this issue might not have something to do with the number of users using it.

We have approximately 500 users using this solution in my company and it is used daily.

I rate the scalability of Bitbucket a nine out of ten.

How are customer service and support?

I have not used the support.

Privacy respected, excellent bundle, with an expert in stability
Pros and Cons
  • "The code reviews and the ability to support DevSecOps are very important."
  • "The most valuable feature is the bundle itself because we use them all."
  • "I think the configuration can be improved because it is getting more complicated and not very well organized."
  • "The mandatory move to the cloud model is the biggest complaint."

What is our primary use case?

Our primary use case is version control, integration with Jenkins for build management, and integration to Jira so that there is traceability to any issues from the build. We also work with code review and pull requests.

What is most valuable?

The most valuable feature is the bundle itself because we use them all. However, code reviews and the ability to support DevSecOps are very important.

What needs improvement?

The mandatory move to the cloud model is the biggest complaint. There are some minor things like customization, configuration, pricing, and limitations in general. I think the configuration can be improved because it is getting more complicated and not very well organized.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been working with Bitbucket ever since it was released ten years ago.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

Bitbucket is definitely stable.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

We were using GitHub before switching to Bitbucket. We do not trust corporations, because we do not want to make our private code available to these corporations. We do not want to just put it on a public site and therefore we switched to Bitbucket.

How was the initial setup?

In the initial setup, you definitely need to be a developer or system administrator. I do not think it is for the faint of heart. You have to set up the reverse proxy and the DNS, so it is accessible from the outside world and make sure all the JVM settings are correct. 

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

We stay within the ten-user limit and it is affordable and we pay around one hundred dollars. However 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.

What other advice do I have?

I would rate Bitbucket a nine out of ten.

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

We use Bitbucket as a repository for our sensitive data, like source code and any other sensitive information that requires change and version tracking. We have eight to 10 users currently accessing Bitbucket.

What is most valuable?

Bitbucket is a standard source code repository with all the features you would expect. It supports Git and SVN. It's an extensive tool that provides us with merging, branching, and change management capabilities. You can compare the changes with the current and previous versions.

For how long have I used the solution?

We have been using Bitbucket for four or five years.

Bitbucket is highly stable.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

You can scale Bitbucket vertically or horizontally.

How are customer service and support?

I rate Bitbucket support eight out of 10.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Positive

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

We used Team Foundation Server and Microsoft SourceSafe.

How was the initial setup?

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.

The vendor is maintaining Bitbucket. We have one staff member responsible for the configuration, but we consult the vendor for patching and upgrades.

What other advice do I have?

I rate BitBucket eight out of 10. Bitbucket is an excellent product. Atlassian will move to the cloud, so the on-prem version may be phased out. You have to be careful when choosing this product. There will be a cloud version available, so it's better if you go with the cloud version of Bitbucket.
