Featured Reviews

Cuneyt-Gurses - PeerSpot reviewer
Helps us improve our development workflows and enhance team collaboration
Our primary use case for Bitbucket revolves around version control and collaborative development. We utilize it extensively to manage our codebase, facilitate Git operations, and automate our CI/CD pipelines on the Bitbucket Cloud platform. This setup enables seamless collaboration among our team…

We moved all our collaborative storage into the solution’s servers.
* The branching strategy of helix is still too technical to handle for a non-technical user, like a graphic artist. * The concept of workspace is hard to acquire at first. Users naturally would like it to be more transparent to configure. * Desynchronization was one of our most frequent issues.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"What I liked the most about this program is that it integrates seamlessly with JIRA."
"The code reviews and the ability to support DevSecOps are very important."
"Bitbucket is feasible and friendly compared to Visual Studio DevOps on the Microsoft platform."
"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"
"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 use Bitbucket for Jira, Confluence, and Jenkins and we have an automation pipeline. Whenever the coaching is done in Bitbucket we run an automation pipeline from the build, create installations, and tests all in one pipeline. It is done automatically."
"It allows me to track the code from ten years back, which is incredibly useful when trying to understand certain implementations in a project."
"I find the configuration management features of Helix Core particularly valuable."
"The customer service and support are excellent."
 

Cons

"Bitbucket can improve by integrating a tool to manage conflict code. This would save time."
"Technical support is not very fast."
"It would be beneficial to have a straightforward mechanism for integrating the initial tasks defined in Bitbucket with Jira when the need arises."
"Sometimes we struggle with searching on repositories. It is a bit challenging sometimes to pinpoint the code or repositories when just filtering by repositories."
"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 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 UI could be a little better compared to competing solutions."
"There are many places where the product could be expanded to make it a more complete solution."
"It has an extensive feature set that leads to a steep learning curve, where users need to learn quite a bit of features to work with it effectively."
