Featured Reviews

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.
AmitRathod - PeerSpot reviewer
Senior Analyst at Toll Holdings Limited
Collaborating on code has become smoother while pricing and hosting options still need work
Bitbucket needs improvement as it has very limited cloud hosting options. With Atlassian phasing out its self-hosted server version, organizations are forced to choose between Bitbucket Cloud, which may not meet strict local compliance requirements, or a highly expensive data option. Additionally, Bitbucket is not competitive on pricing for scaling teams, as the free tier is great for up to five team members, but the jump in price for growing teams beyond five users can become steep compared to other repositories. Some enterprise users report that Bitbucket's stability can affect its speed when handling very large repositories, and though it has good support, the technical support team should be more active, as I have not seen them as active compared to GitLab and GitHub. The limited cloud hosting options and pricing for scaling teams are two important areas for improvement.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable features of AWS CodeCommit include the least privilege access from IAM, where permissions are granted only for the specific repository the developer is working on, which allows for hundreds of repositories with controlled access per project."
"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."
"It is a really good product where you can easily create your repository and integrate it with other tools such as IAM to handle the user and management aspects of the repository."
"It helps us to install our code idea projects."
"AWS CodeCommit has the usual version control features, and it integrates with AWS CodeGuru for code reviews."
"AWS CodeCommit's user interface is nice, and it's easy for people to pick up."
"What I find best about AWS CodeCommit is its seamless integration with the AWS ecosystem."
"The solution is quite scalable."
"Bitbucket is very secure and easy to handle compared to GitLab."
"This is a very dependable product that is easy to use and it has an excellent GUI interface."
"The setup was okay, and it was well-integrated."
"The product's most valuable feature is output backup."
"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 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."
"Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"Bitbucket has a pull request-based method, similar to Git's merge request feature."
 

Cons

"Not really that much stands out. I am using CodeCommit since my customer asked me to use it. It is just an appliance, and GitHub and GitLab can do a better job."
"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."
"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."
"Although CodeCommit's user interface is good, it can be improved when compared to other version controls like GitHub, GitLab, or Bitbucket."
"The number of users for AWS CodeCommit is generally less compared to other version control systems."
"There is room for improvement in Insight Analytics."
"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."
"The tool offers a limited pipeline structure."
"The scalability for the cloud version can be improved."
"The UI could be a little better compared to competing solutions."
"The installation of Bitbucket on our server was not as easy as other Atlassian products, so it is something that can be improved."
"Bitbucket should come with code review pre-integrated, which would be better than integrating another tool into the solution."
"The code review and creation of requests need improvement."
"Sometimes we struggle with searching on repositories. It is a bit challenging sometimes to pinpoint the code or repositories when just filtering by repositories."
"The product could benefit from enhancements in scaling capabilities for continuous deployment processes and better integration with other cloud platforms beyond AWS."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"The solution is expensive."
"I rate the product price as two on a scale of one to ten, where ten means that it is a very expensive tool."
"Bitbucket is a low-priced tool."
"The product offers competitive pricing structures for small to medium-sized businesses, which is especially beneficial for smaller teams."
"I did not pay for the license as I was using a corporate license. But I think the pricing is fair."
"I understand Bitbucket's cost is on the higher side."
"A full licensing cost is paid for Bitbucket."
"We have approximately 40 licenses for Bitbucket."
"Bitbucket may be perceived as costly for smaller companies."
