Seamless, integrated, and easy to use
Pros and Cons
  • "Bitbucket lets me create new projects in a few clicks and check out files in a seamless and integrated manner."
  • "Bitbucket lets me create new projects in a few clicks and check out files in a seamless and integrated manner."
  • "Bitbucket's stability isn't flawless. It has crashed on me occasionally, but I haven't yet lost anything after a crash."
  • "Bitbucket's stability isn't flawless. It has crashed on me occasionally, but I haven't yet lost anything after a crash."

What is most valuable?

Bitbucket's best feature is a Git client called SourceTree, which allows you to seamlessly integrate on-premise with on-cloud and mix and match repositories on your own server.

For how long have I used the solution?

I've been using Bitbucket for four or five years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

Bitbucket's stability isn't flawless. It has crashed on me occasionally, but I haven't yet lost anything after a crash. I believe the client is written in C or C++ and should possibly be subject to a more rigorous testing procedure.

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup is very simple - you use the web interface to create a repository, then receive a link and use it in your SourceTree client, and then you're connected. This is why I prefer Bitbucket to GitLab, because it's totally integrated and works with Jira, so everything is inside the same realm.

Bitbucket provides valuable version control for our code
Pros and Cons
  • "The version control feature for our code and the security aspect is valuable to us."
  • "There is room for improvement in the workflow. Other similar tools offer automation and more streamlined workflows, which Bitbucket currently lacks."

What needs improvement?

There is room for improvement in the workflow. Other similar tools offer automation and more streamlined workflows, which Bitbucket currently lacks.

In additional features, I would like to see more low-code options for certain tasks. When we compare it to another solution like GitHub, in my opinion, Bitbucket could offer us more automation and actions in the future. This would be a valuable feature for improving our projects.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using Bitbucket for around seven years. I use the latest version.

It is a stable solution.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

A stable cloud -based Atlassian tool that is easy to use and manage
Pros and Cons
  • "We can watch the newly implemented code. So it's quite nice to organize the teams to see what part of the work is done and what part of the code is already old or new. It is very good for that kind of management."
  • "The scalability for the cloud version can be improved."

What is our primary use case?

The solution is used for web-development

How has it helped my organization?

The solution is good for cloud collaborative work. During the time I was working as a release manager, I could manage the tool request and the technical problems that occurred on the site of the development.

What is most valuable?

We can watch the newly implemented code. So it's quite nice to organize the teams to see what part of the work is done and what part of the code is already old or new. It is very good for that kind of management.

What needs improvement?

The scalability for the cloud version can be improved.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using the solution for nine months.


What do I think about the stability of the solution?

It is a stable solution.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

It is a scalable solution. The cloud version is not scalable. But if you pay for the premium version it is very scalable. Five users are using the solution at a time.

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

I have only taken demos for products before and did not use anything. It was mainly the license solution. I was searching in several websites, and all of them were talking good things about the Atlassian solution. So I decided to give it a try.

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup was easy and quick.

What about the implementation team?

I deployed the solution myself.

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

I did not pay for the license as I was using a corporate license. But I think the pricing is fair.

What other advice do I have?

It's very easy to use and a nice tool to manage. And I think the first implementation or the configuration is very important so that teams could work with that.

I rate it nine out of ten.

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?

I rate Bitbucket 10 out of 10 for scalability. 

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.

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?
