Seamless integration enhances team collaboration and process efficiency
The Git interfaces in AWS CodeCommit definitely need work. When we migrated our payment processing system at Huntington, we found the web UI to be basic compared to GitHub and GitLab. Simple things such as viewing directory structures or browsing through commit history and pull request flow could use serious upgrades. We had to create workarounds for features that come standard elsewhere, such as automatically assigning reviewers based on code ownership and setting up required review templates. The search functionality is another pain point, as trying to find specific code across repositories is limited. At Walgreens, we had a large mono repo for our pharmacy services code, and developers constantly complained about how difficult it was to search through it effectively in AWS CodeCommit. I also wish it had better CI/CD visualization built in.

Integrated task tracking has improved code collaboration and now supports secure, controlled delivery
The integration with Jira is a feature I really appreciate in Bitbucket because it allows for easy task management integration, which is very beneficial. Bitbucket provides strong Jira integration, which is essential for our client who uses Jira for task management. This integration helps streamline processes and has built-in CI/CD pipelines, private repositories, and provides solid support for managing tasks effectively. The CI/CD pipeline in Bitbucket streamlines our development process as we need built-in pipelines, which are available and easy to use. Bitbucket maintains code quality through branch permissions that alert you if you are pushing directly and there are branch protections or conflicts. It enforces naming conventions for branches, making it secure and easy to manage. Security-wise, Bitbucket has good features such as private repositories, access controls, authentication requirements, and secure pull requests, ensuring safety at various levels. The initial setup for Bitbucket is easy as I log in with the company email to access a workspace. Creating repositories follows a straightforward process involving setting permissions and branch creation.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution's most valuable feature is versioning."
"It helps us to install our code idea projects."
"AWS CodeCommit is simple and cheap."
"The customer service is pretty good."
"AWS CodeCommit is highly user-friendly."
"AWS CodeCommit is highly user-friendly."
"AWS CodeCommit's user interface is nice, and it's easy for people to pick up."
"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."
"You can use Bitbucket to whitelist IP addresses during deployment."
"The setup was okay, and it was well-integrated."
"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 has a very clean UI, especially with the pull request dashboards where we can directly see the source and destination branches and the change, and the diff between the files in a single UI."
"The most valuable features are the scripts used for migration purposes and to create new repository releases."
"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."
"Bitbucket has a pull request-based method, similar to Git's merge request feature."
"The product's most valuable feature is output backup."
 

Cons

"Although CodeCommit's user interface is good, it can be improved when compared to other version controls like GitHub, GitLab, or Bitbucket."
"The solution could be more user-friendly and cheaper."
"Lately, it is turning out to be a little expensive. The market is preferring Azure because it offers resources at a much cheaper price."
"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."
"Migration in and out of CodeCommit should be improved."
"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 number of users for AWS CodeCommit is generally less compared to other version control systems."
"There is room for improvement in Insight Analytics."
"Fine tuning for procedures and features related to analytics and code validation is needed."
"One of the areas the solution could improve on is when there is a merging conflict it is quite confusing. When I am having a merging conflict I get stuck on the page, then I need to search how to handle the particular problem. For example, finding what the commands are which can be used."
"The UI could be a little better compared to competing solutions."
"Even with the automation, we've had some situations where we've had mistakes. They've integrated things into the wrong place, so there's a fairly steep learning curve."
"Bitbucket's stability isn't flawless. It has crashed on me occasionally, but I haven't yet lost anything after a crash."
"The scalability could be improved."
"Bitbucket should come with code review pre-integrated, which would be better than integrating another tool into the solution."
"We need an improved automation feature for the cloud."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is expensive."
"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."
"AWS CodeCommit is competitively priced against all the other competitors."
"I rate the pricing a seven out of ten because it is expensive."
"I rate the price from Bitbucket a four out of five."
"When it comes to licensing we have the standard plan."
"A full licensing cost is paid for Bitbucket."
"Bitbucket is an inexpensive product."
"Licensing is on a monthly basis, it's available on our website. They have a free version, the pro version and then they have an enterprise version, and we're using a kind of the middle of the pro version for about $7 per user per month."
"Bitbucket may be perceived as costly for smaller companies."
"I did not pay for the license as I was using a corporate license. But I think the pricing is fair."
