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 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 helps us to install our code idea projects."
"The solution scalable."
"The customer service is pretty good."
"The solution is quite scalable."
"AWS CodeCommit has the usual version control features, and it integrates with AWS CodeGuru for code reviews."
"AWS CodeCommit is highly user-friendly."
"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 setup of Bitbucket is simple."
"It allows me to track the code from ten years back, which is incredibly useful when trying to understand certain implementations in a project."
"The code reviews and the ability to support DevSecOps are very important."
"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 an integral part of our CI/CD project."
"Bitbucket has a very great impact on my organization, as all code, whether from backend, frontend, or PWA, is now in Bitbucket, facilitating collaboration among our large team on the same codebase."
"Bitbucket is a standard git implementation with perfectly coordinated screens, it's secure, and we have had no problems with it."
"Bitbucket works, and it's reliable"
 

Cons

"The solution could be more user-friendly and cheaper."
"The tool should improve its UI."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"There is room for improvement in Insight Analytics."
"The number of users for AWS CodeCommit is generally less compared to other version control systems."
"Bitbucket should come with code review pre-integrated, which would be better than integrating another tool into the solution."
"The module component needs improvement."
"In terms of the commits, we currently create a pull request, however, we are not able to assign any."
"I would like to see the tool's desktop version."
"I rate Bitbucket five out of 10 for affordability. It isn't cheap."
"I feel the pricing for Bitbucket is on the higher end."
"Bitbucket's stability isn't flawless. It has crashed on me occasionally, but I haven't yet lost anything after a crash."
"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

"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."
"AWS CodeCommit is competitively priced against all the other competitors."
"I rate the price from Bitbucket a four out of five."
"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."
"We have approximately 40 licenses for Bitbucket."
"Bitbucket is a low-priced tool."
"A full licensing cost is paid for Bitbucket."
"You have to buy additional licenses when you exceed 50 users."
"Bitbucket may be perceived as costly for smaller companies."
"I rate the product price as two on a scale of one to ten, where ten means that it is a very expensive tool."
