Facilitates efficient branching and integration with flexible workflow management
Bitbucket Server excels as a versioning system, effectively managing branching and code integration. It provides flexibility, allowing teams to customize workflows according to their specific needs. We maintain a master branch for production and separate branches for different features, which makes it easier to manage code changes. Additionally, its integration with Jenkins pipelines for automating builds and performing various checks enhances its utility.

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 feature of this solution is server management."
"It has consistently performed well without major issues, providing a reliable code management and collaboration environment."
"The tool makes pushing codes and setting up CI/CD pipelines easy."
"Bitbucket Server supports code collaboration by providing commands developers can use to check in code. Through comments, developers can specify the purpose of the code check-in. Additionally, Bitbucket allows tagging of code for releases."
"Bitbucket Server excels as a versioning system, effectively managing branching and code integration."
"The product is easy to maintain."
"Its standout features are the seamless integration with various intelligent tools and its user-friendly nature."
"In terms of benefits, I feel that many companies are moving to Bitbucket Server since it can be deployed on an on-premises model at a time when everything is being moved to the cloud."
"Git is a stable solution. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"Git is easy to manage...It is helpful for me and easy to manage the interface we are using from development to production."
"Git has a lot of online tutorials and resources available."
"The setup process is pretty simple."
"Git is a powerful and mature tool that all software engineers use, whether they use it from the command line with the original version or integrate it with various tools. It helps by promoting collaboration and eliminating problems with code in separate locations. This greatly boosts productivity since you're not lost in a massive local repository, and everything remains organized."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the branch management functionality."
"What I find the most valuable about Git is that it is CLI and GUI-supported. People who do not like using the CLI mode can use the GUI mode."
"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."
 

Cons

"The improvements in the product could be made to expand third-party integrations and enhance support for open-source projects."
"The platform's integration with other cloud services should be improved."
"The UI could be enhanced."
"The product interface consists of multiple features that are complicated to navigate for new users."
"The response time of the product's support team may not be good enough to meet the expectations of users, making it an area where improvements are required."
"It would have been better to use Bitbucket Server if it had something similar to the concept called GitHub Actions since it allows GitHub to provide seamless integration of CI/CD pipelines."
"Bitbucket Server has limited user support for its free version. It is expensive."
"The product requires patching and version improvements. Some functions do not work properly when we move from one version to another. We need a technical improvement. Also, communicating with other Atlassian products becomes cumbersome when we move from one version to another. I want Bitbucket Server to include a dashboard similar to Jira's. Atlassian must also develop a tool to scan our complete base for vulnerabilities."
"The tool's user interface is terrible. It needs to be more user-friendly."
"There is room for improvement in the pricing model of Git."
"Git removed the credential feature."
"I would rate the initial setup process a four, on a scale from one to 10, with one being the most difficult and 10 being the easiest. The reason for this rating is that once there are conflicts, it takes a lot of effort to resolve them."
"If the solution could provide more language support options such as Korean, it would be helpful."
"About the configuration it is a little bit difficult, it can be improved."
"Git can improve the size of the depository it can handle and add the capability to detect the change between common files, such as Excel and PDF documents."
"New developers sometimes find it difficult to call a review or create a request."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Bitbucket Server is quite expensive compared to other products."
"There is a cost to use this solution but it is based on how many users are using it. If you have 50 users or 1,000 users the price will be very different."
"We opted for the on-premises solution, and while it's quite expensive, I believe there's room for improvement in terms of pricing. The licensing is based on the number of users, but I'm not entirely certain about the details."
"The solution comes as a part of the suite."
"One needs to pay towards the licensing charges associated with the product."
"The platform offers a free version for public repositories, which benefits open-source projects."
"As for licensing, Bitbucket is one of the more affordable options."
"The tool's licensing costs are yearly. Prices can become expensive if you have a lot of users."
"There are some extra costs to Git, but it depends on your use case."
"Git is completely free."
"This is an open-source solution, so there are no licensing fees associated with it, and no extra, 'hidden' charges."
"The platform is less expensive."
"I rate the tool's pricing a five out of ten."
"The tool is an open-source product."
"Git is an open-source software."
"The tool is free."
