What is our primary use case?

We predominately use Bitbucket for continuous integration, as a repository for our code, and for various departments, such as analytics, web, and mobile.

What needs improvement?

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 repository and the access levels could improve.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have used Bitbucket for approximately four years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

We have not had any issues with day-to-day usage of Bitbucket since we started using it.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

We have not scaled Bitbucket that much to know the full range, but for what we use it for it has been good.

We have 10 to 20 users using this solution in our organization.

How are customer service and support?

I have not needed to use the support team from Bitbucket.

How was the initial setup?

The setup of Bitbucket is simple.

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

We have approximately 40 licenses for Bitbucket.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

We did a benchmark before we chose our continuous integration environment. We found Bitbucket is the right tool for us at the start-up level. We conducted tests for Git, GitLab, and other solutions, but the decision we made was Bitbucket.

Seamless, integrated, and easy to use
Pros and Cons
  • "Bitbucket lets me create new projects in a few clicks and check out files in a seamless and integrated manner."
  • "Bitbucket's stability isn't flawless. It has crashed on me occasionally, but I haven't yet lost anything after a crash."

What is most valuable?

Bitbucket's best feature is a Git client called SourceTree, which allows you to seamlessly integrate on-premise with on-cloud and mix and match repositories on your own server.

For how long have I used the solution?

I've been using Bitbucket for four or five years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

Bitbucket's stability isn't flawless. It has crashed on me occasionally, but I haven't yet lost anything after a crash. I believe the client is written in C or C++ and should possibly be subject to a more rigorous testing procedure.

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup is very simple - you use the web interface to create a repository, then receive a link and use it in your SourceTree client, and then you're connected. This is why I prefer Bitbucket to GitLab, because it's totally integrated and works with Jira, so everything is inside the same realm.

What other advice do I have?

Bitbucket lets me create new projects in a few clicks and check out files in a seamless and integrated manner. It's also great for Linux users, including SourceTree running on Ubuntu, and for organizations that use Jira heavily. I would rate Bitbucket as eight out of ten.

Ability to see pool requests is great for collaboration; great traceability
Pros and Cons
  • "Bitbucket is definitely a tool to consider if somebody is still on CVS. It is a great tool and well integrated with Bamboo."
  • "Bitbucket has improved our organization because it has simplified and streamlined our developer communication code and review process."
  • "Sometimes we struggle with searching on repositories. It is a bit challenging sometimes to pinpoint the code or repositories when just filtering by repositories."

What is our primary use case?

Bitbucket is our source code repository. We use it as our source code reaction control system and for pool requests and engineer builds. It is integrated with Bamboo, which uses a CI CD pipeline to release our code to different environments.

How has it helped my organization?

Bitbucket has improved our organization because it has simplified and streamlined our developer communication code and review process. It is also much more visual. 

We have also integrated it with Slack. Whenever we do a full request, we get information comments in a pool request through Slack on our team channels. It's much easier to go to Bamboo and see if this code was released. This is particularly important if the code troubleshoots production-related issues. 

Bitbucket's traceability is great. Being able to see pool requests is just a great thing for collaboration.

What needs improvement?

Sometimes we struggle with searching on repositories. It is a bit challenging sometimes to pinpoint the code or repositories when just filtering by repositories. That search capability could be improved to become more intuitive. It should allow for, for example, searching for specific source files or repositories or searching the code inside the source files. That kind of flexibility would be helpful.

Of course, making the tool free would be great as well. Its cost is probably why it is not used very much in smaller companies.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using Bitbucket for a year and a half.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

Bitbucket is great when it comes to stability. However, we do see some challenges with Bamboo on that front. Sometimes Bamboo agents get stuck and take longer to process and build requests and releases.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

I haven't experienced any issues with scalability. For five to 10 applications, it works great.

In our organization, some 200 people are using this solution. Most of them are developers. The product is being extensively used in the organization at the moment.

How are customer service and support?

I have not had any contact with Bitbucket's technical support.

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

We are using Bamboo and Bitbucket simultaneously right now. Before Bitbucket, we were using CVS.

We made the switch over to Bitbucket as part of a company-wide migration to the cloud. CVS can only be deployed on-premise while Bitbucket is on the cloud. Also, the code review process for request concepts and the team collaboration Bitbucket facilitates makes it much more friendly and modern.

How was the initial setup?

I was not part of the initial implementation team. We have a DevOps team in our company, so they set it up and once it was ready, it was rolled out to the development teams with a ready-to-use config. What we did, as far as deployment goes, is move our code from a legacy version control system to a new version control system. That experience was straightforward for me as a developer.

The initial setup was relatively fast. It took us about three days to migrate a small-to-medium-sized application from the legacy version control system to Bitbucket, for example.

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

Unfortunately, I'm not privy to this information. 

What other advice do I have?

Bitbucket is definitely a tool to consider if somebody is still on CVS. It is a great tool and well integrated with Bamboo. Both Bitbucket and Bamboo are made by the same company, and the latter is there to connect the dots between the code and releases in production.

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

Public Cloud

If public cloud, private cloud, or hybrid cloud, which cloud provider do you use?

Overall easy to use, simple code sending, but more documentation needed
Pros and Cons
  • "The solution is easy to use, and if I need to check out my latest code or I need to send my local code to the depositories it is simple, and overall it has been a good experience from my side using this solution."
  • "One of the areas the solution could improve on is when there is a merging conflict it is quite confusing. When I am having a merging conflict I get stuck on the page, then I need to search how to handle the particular problem. For example, finding what the commands are which can be used."
  • "One of the areas the solution could improve on is when there is a merging conflict it is quite confusing."

What is our primary use case?

We are using Bitbucket for the code checking and tracking of our project depositories which we have locally. This includes code changes in software development. 

How has it helped my organization?

Bitbucket has helped our company stay current with our updated code daily.

What is most valuable?

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.

What needs improvement?

One of the areas the solution could improve on is when there is a merging conflict it is quite confusing. When I am having a merging conflict I get stuck on the page, then I need to search how to handle the particular problem. For example, finding what the commands are which can be used. 

I might not have the proper knowledge of it. However, the merging processes can be difficult and could be made easier. Overall there should be better documentation available. When I first started out it would have been very helpful because I had to search to find out how to use the solution.

In an upcoming release, the solution could improve the collaboration. Additionally, there should be some startup tool or features for whenever we have local changes or updates it will prevent us from submitting any change unless they have been removed locally. For example, 
there should be some sort of command tool that can remove my local code first and then checking it by taking code from the latest one to resolve it.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using Bitbucket within the last 12 months.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The stability of the solution is good. However, there have been times I had to close the program down and restart it.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

The solution is scalable and it is not very difficult to do.

We have approximately 10 people using this solution in my organization which includes various teams, such as the automation department.

We use this solution every day and frequently, we plan to continue using it in the future.

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

I have used a previous version that was not user-friendly. Additionally, I have used GitHub.

What about the implementation team?

We have one technician that does the maintenance of the solution.

What other advice do I have?

I rate Bitbucket a seven out of ten.

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

On-premises

Enhanced code management with seamless integration and a nice user experience
Pros and Cons
  • "It has a nice user experience to review PRs and provides great pipeline features, integrating well with other Atlassian products."
  • "Bitbucket pipelines could be enhanced by adding scalability and caching."

What is our primary use case?

We use Bitbucket for version controlling our source code, and also CI/CD was utilizing Bitbucket pipelines. We have automated build pipelines, daily master build pipelines, and daily releases.

How has it helped my organization?

It nicely integrates with Atlassian Jira, making it easy to find relevant branches and PRs. We also have Teams integration for Atlassian products like Confluence.

What is most valuable?

It has a nice user experience to review PRs and provides great pipeline features, integrating well with other Atlassian products.

What needs improvement?

Bitbucket pipelines could be enhanced by adding scalability and caching for images. If we could get the cloud-native benefits to Bitbucket pipeline like in Tekton, it would be great.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have used the solution for about two years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The solution is stable.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

Our main repository gets around 200 PRs per day, and this load has limited Bitbucket pipelines due to steep limitations.

How are customer service and support?

Customer service is actually done by the R&D and Deployment team. I'm not really aware of those details.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Positive

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

We moved from Bitbucket to Tekton because our main repository gets two hundred PRs per day, which presented a load on Bitbucket pipelines with step limitations. Moreover, we do not have local image caching, resulting in frequent pulls from Azure Container Registry, leading to Azure's rate limits.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

We compared Bitbucket with Tekton, noting the benefits and limitations of each.

What other advice do I have?

I'd rate the solution eight out of ten.

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.
