Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"You can use Bitbucket to whitelist IP addresses during deployment."
"Bitbucket is very secure and easy to handle compared to GitLab."
"I find Bitbucket's branching, pull requests, and branch mergers very valuable."
"The planning model is good, and so is the suite of applications around it."
"Multiple users can work on the same repository using different branches, making it beneficial."
"The solution is easy to use. If I need to check out my latest code or I need to send my local code to the depositories it is simple. Overall it is has been a good experience from my side using this solution."
"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 has a pull request-based method, similar to Git's merge request feature."
"Git's learning curve is shallow, making the solution easy to use after a few tutorials."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the branch management functionality."
"So far, the product has been stable. Stability-wise, I rate the solution an eight to nine out of ten."
"Git offers the ability to roll back to the previous version. You can also track all the small changes that you do."
"The initial setup is very easy."
"Git is a stable solution. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"I like that it's easy to use and because it's accessible from a terminal or a graphical user interface if needed. I also like that we can pass comments from Linux if required."
"Git has a lot of online tutorials and resources available."
 

Cons

"Bitbucket could improve search and indexing capabilities. There is only basic searching available. There is only the ability to index the main branch but not the subbranches. The search capabilities are dodgy."
"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."
"It goes well with other Atlassian solutions like Jira or Bamboo, but integration with other third-party solutions is more complex."
"In Bitbucket, manual processes are needed to handle changes between repositories."
"I think the developers are constantly working on improving the pull requests support."
"The online documentation isn't sufficient for configuration at an enterprise level. If new issues arise, vendor support may be necessary."
"I rate Bitbucket five out of 10 for affordability. It isn't cheap."
"Currently, what's lacking in Bitbucket is the assignment feature."
"More security is always welcome in my opinion."
"Git removed the credential feature."
"If another person raises a pull request under the same ID assigned to the previous person, and both parties modify the tool, their changes will be grouped together in the same request until it is closed, which is an issue."
"The product needs to improve its UI."
"I would like to see less updates with the product."
"The price could be improved."
"If other people are included in their project, you're going to have to make merge requests to merge the code you made, and the code your colleagues have made. So it's a little bit complicated."
"I would like to see an improvement in the way the product owner can review changes."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I rate the pricing an eight out of ten because it is cheaper than solutions like GitLab."
"Bitbucket is a low-priced tool."
"I rate the price from Bitbucket a four out of five."
"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."
"A full licensing cost is paid for Bitbucket."
"Bitbucket is a cost-effective solution. It is the cheapest in the market. It is lower than GitLab and GitHub."
"I did not pay for the license as I was using a corporate license. But I think the pricing is fair."
"You have to buy additional licenses when you exceed 50 users."
"I am not required to pay due to the small number of users we have. We have a small user base, and we are not using the enterprise version."
"Git is an open-source software."
"Git is free and you don't have to pay for it."
"The platform is less expensive."
"As a student, I didn't have to pay for the license."
"The tool is an open-source product."
"We use the open-source version."
"We are using the open-source version, which is available free of charge."
