dev op engineer at a retailer with 11-50 employees
Visual Git workflow has streamlined branching and commits but still needs better performance
The best features Atlassian SourceTree offers is that you can see the entire branch structure laid out clearly, which makes it much easier to understand what's going on across a project. Atlassian SourceTree has positively impacted my organization because benefits add up over a year when you're bringing in new developers regularly. Avoiding merge disasters has real value. Even one bad merge that takes half a day to untangle costs more than the tool would if it wasn't free. The return on investment is significant.
Andrea-Carella - PeerSpot reviewer
DevOps Engineer at GFT Group
Has improved repository management through policy customization but needs better integration with external tools
AWS CodeCommit is a good product to use when you also have to use CodePipeline because it is all integrated in the same system, which is beneficial. However, the integration with other code pipeline tools outside the AWS world is uncertain, as there has been no experience with that integration. The number of users for AWS CodeCommit is generally less compared to other version control systems. To improve the adoption of AWS CodeCommit with respect to others that are more used in the market, something would need to be done to increase market share, as people are often more educated to use GitLab or GitHub. AWS CodeCommit is quite easy to learn in general, but competitors have a bigger market share in this particular area for many reasons.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The initial setup is straightforward."
"The tool's UI is good."
"This product has helped because we have been able to fix problems when our code repository breaks."
"For me, the branches ' graph was the most valuable feature of Atlassian SourceTree. I often used the terminal, but during a demo, my boss preferred I not switch to the terminal view. SourceTree's graphical interface for managing branches was handy for that. The demo involved making changes, committing them, pushing to the CI/CD tool, running the pipeline, and seeing the integration, all within about twenty minutes."
"The interface is very good and is easy to use. It tells you when you've committed, when you've uploaded, and gives you the differences."
"I was doing a very complex file change merge using SourceTree and it took me less than half of the time I estimated."
"Avoiding merge disasters has real value."
"The solution's initial setup process is straightforward."
"AWS CodeCommit is highly user-friendly."
"AWS CodeCommit has the usual version control features, and it integrates with AWS CodeGuru for code reviews."
"The most valuable feature of AWS CodeCommit is that it acts as a code repository with code versioning and approval features similar to those found on GitHub."
"AWS CodeCommit is simple and cheap."
"The solution is quite scalable."
"It helps us to install our code idea projects."
"AWS CodeCommit is much easier to use than Bitbucket. It doesn't require any personal password or these things. We just need to put in our AWS account password and username."
"The customer service and support for AWS CodeCommit are excellent."
 

Cons

"Its interface could be easy to understand for a programmer."
"The product's UI needs improvement."
"The main issue for improving Atlassian SourceTree is performance."
"The UI can be improved because it is not always so easy to find the functionality you are looking for."
"I have had a food experience with Atlassian SourceTree but it might not be for everyone."
"The visuals, including the UI and UX, have simple fonts, making it an area where certain enhancements can be done."
"People think that Visual Studio Code is more intuitive and can serve dual purposes for development and as a client to push or pull code."
"For everyday use, I am more comfortable using the command line interface, rather than using SourceTree."
"The number of users for AWS CodeCommit is generally less compared to other version control systems."
"There is room for improvement in how AWS CodeCommit handles mass changes, like Fortran, which is designed to make these alterations in a friendly manner across AWS requirements."
"When I compare code, AWS has a cap on the file size, and that size is pretty small compared to what GitHub and GitLab provide."
"The solution could be more user-friendly and cheaper."
"Migration in and out of CodeCommit should be improved."
"There are some options in Bitbucket that are not available in AWS CodeCommit. For example, code reviewer. We can't add a code reviewer in AWS CodeCommit, and we can't fork the repository online. These are the two things that Bitbucket has, but the solution doesn't have. Also, Jira has a debugging option that AWS CodeCommit doesn't have. Another thing is that Bitbucket charges three dollars per month per user. Compared with AWS CodeCommit, that only charges one dollar per month. So, AWS CodeCommit is cheaper than Bitbucket. But it does not have enough features that Bitbucket has. Additionally, it will be good if you upload one video or documentation on how to use AWS CodeCommit for beginners. That will be more helpful. There you can add more details about pricing. There are not many details about pricing. Bitbucket has a table where they have mentioned everything in detail, like, what features for how much price, how much longer you can use and how many users can use."
"Although CodeCommit's user interface is good, it can be improved when compared to other version controls like GitHub, GitLab, or Bitbucket."
"There is room for improvement in Insight Analytics."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There is a fee for using SourceTree."
"Atlassian SourceTree is a free solution."
"I do not recall the exact pricing details for SourceTree, but generally, Atlassian products are affordable, and SourceTree typically comes as part of a suite."
"The solution is expensive."
"AWS CodeCommit is competitively priced against all the other competitors."
"As for pricing, you can add the table in detail. You can visit Bitbucket or refer to any other tools. There, you can see what is the difference between your pricing and other prices. You have only mentioned it in a single line. Other tools have been mentioned in a table format, like, how many users, premium, normal accounts, and other things."
