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 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."
"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."
"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."
"AWS CodeCommit is highly user-friendly."
"The solution scalable."
"It helps us to install our code idea projects."
"The customer service is pretty good."
"The customer service is pretty good."
"Bitbucket is definitely a tool to consider if somebody is still on CVS. It is a great tool and well integrated with Bamboo."
"The setup of Bitbucket is simple."
"BitBucket is a reliable and user-friendly product."
"The initial setup was straightforward, especially leveraging its cloud platform deployment options."
"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."
"Bitbucket is significantly cheaper compared to GitHub and it provides on-premises hosting."
"Bitbucket works, and it's reliable"
"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."
 

Cons

"The tool should improve its UI."
"The number of users for AWS CodeCommit is generally less compared to other version control systems."
"Although CodeCommit's user interface is good, it can be improved when compared to other version controls like GitHub, GitLab, or Bitbucket."
"Although CodeCommit's user interface is good, it can be improved when compared to other version controls like GitHub, GitLab, or Bitbucket."
"Migration in and out of CodeCommit should be improved."
"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."
"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."
"Lately, it is turning out to be a little expensive. The market is preferring Azure because it offers resources at a much cheaper price."
"Could provide some default branching options for users to adopt."
"In Bitbucket, manual processes are needed to handle changes between repositories."
"Currently, what's lacking in Bitbucket is the assignment feature."
"The product could benefit from enhancements in scaling capabilities for continuous deployment processes and better integration with other cloud platforms beyond AWS."
"I would like to see the security logs option on the tool directly. The current way to work with security logs is through an email protocol."
"Bitbucket could improve pipeline building and deployment. Our deployments are not using the Bitbucket. Deployments we are going through Azure DevOps, but the integration is happening in Bitbucket."
"The online documentation isn't sufficient for configuration at an enterprise level. If new issues arise, vendor support may be necessary."
"It goes well with other Atlassian solutions like Jira or Bamboo, but integration with other third-party solutions is more complex."
 

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."
"Bitbucket is a cost-effective solution. It is the cheapest in the market. It is lower than GitLab and GitHub."
"The product offers competitive pricing structures for small to medium-sized businesses, which is especially beneficial for smaller teams."
"I understand Bitbucket's cost is on the higher side."
"Bitbucket is an inexpensive product."
"I rate the pricing an eight out of ten because it is cheaper than solutions like GitLab."
"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."
"A full licensing cost is paid for Bitbucket."
"When it comes to licensing we have the standard plan."
