A stable cloud -based Atlassian tool that is easy to use and manage
Pros and Cons
  • "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."
  • "The scalability for the cloud version can be improved."

What is our primary use case?

The solution is used for web-development

How has it helped my organization?

The solution is good for cloud collaborative work. During the time I was working as a release manager, I could manage the tool request and the technical problems that occurred on the site of the development.

What is most valuable?

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.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using the solution for nine months.


What do I think about the stability of the solution?

It is a stable solution.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

It is a scalable solution. The cloud version is not scalable. But if you pay for the premium version it is very scalable. Five users are using the solution at a time.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

I have only taken demos for products before and did not use anything. It was mainly the license solution. I was searching in several websites, and all of them were talking good things about the Atlassian solution. So I decided to give it a try.

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup was easy and quick.

What about the implementation team?

I deployed the solution myself.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

I did not pay for the license as I was using a corporate license. But I think the pricing is fair.

What other advice do I have?

It's very easy to use and a nice tool to manage. And I think the first implementation or the configuration is very important so that teams could work with that.

I rate it nine out of ten.

Bitbucket provides valuable version control for our code
Pros and Cons
  • "The version control feature for our code and the security aspect is valuable to us."
  • "There is room for improvement in the workflow. Other similar tools offer automation and more streamlined workflows, which Bitbucket currently lacks."

What is our primary use case?

We use Bitbucket as our code repository and base it on our DevOps process.

How has it helped my organization?

This technology is quite common in our company. It is very important for our development process.

What is most valuable?

The version control feature for our code and the security aspect is valuable to us. It is also related to automation, DevOps, and our desktop environment.

What needs improvement?

There is room for improvement in the workflow. Other similar tools offer automation and more streamlined workflows, which Bitbucket currently lacks.

In additional features, I would like to see more low-code options for certain tasks. When we compare it to another solution like GitHub, in my opinion, Bitbucket could offer us more automation and actions in the future. This would be a valuable feature for improving our projects.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using Bitbucket for around seven years. I use the latest version. 

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

It is a stable solution.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

It is a scalable solution.

How are customer service and support?

The customer service and support team is good. 

What was our ROI?


What other advice do I have?

Bitbucket is worth the investment. Overall, I would rate the solution a nine out of ten. I recommend using the solution.

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

A stable version control software that also provides good scalability options to its users
Pros and Cons
  • "Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
  • "Bitbucket doesn't currently offer AI functionalities."

What is our primary use case?

My company uses Bitbucket for version control and codes that we use for transforming data.

What is most valuable?

I haven't gone deep into all of the features of Bitbucket. I use Bitbucket as a basic repository in my company, so I don't use it to deal with the CI/CD pipeline.

What needs improvement?

I haven't encountered any issues with the solution since I am familiar with the basic Git workflows. Most of my criticisms are directed towards Git and not Bitbucket specifically, so I can say that it can be a challenge to onboard new people who need to learn how to use the commit code in Bitbucket. In general, the aforementioned flaw is not a fault related to Bitbucket but more of a problem caused by Git and the knowledge gap that new users experience. Bitbucket can be made more user-friendly for new users.

Every solution nowadays makes use of AI to make their workflows easier for its users. Bitbucket doesn't currently offer AI functionalities. Though I am unsure how AI features can be incorporated into Bitbucket, I would like to see Bitbucket with AI functionalities.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using Bitbucket for a year. My company is a customer of Bitbucket.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

I have not faced any stability problems with the solution.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten.

There are around ten people in my company who use Bitbucket.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

Apart from Bitbucket, I have experience with GitHub. GitHub and Bitbucket are almost the same. I don't have any preference between GitHub and Bitbucket since I don't use the tools to their fullest capabilities. I use the aforementioned tools as a basic repository in my company.

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup of Bitbucket is simple.

The solution is deployed on the cloud. The development part of the solution is done on an on-premises model.

What other advice do I have?

I recommend the solution to those who plan to use it.

I haven't explored the entire solution yet, so it would be best for me to rate the solution a ten out of ten after I do a deep dive into the product's capabilities. I rate the overall solution an eight to nine out of ten.

Integrates well, scalable, and good support
Pros and Cons
  • "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."
