Pros
"It is an easily scalable solution.""Bitbucket Server is easy to use. You can use other applications to access it, or you can use it to access the internet.

It is nice, but some other developers may agree.""The most valuable feature of this solution is server management.""Bitbucket Server easily integrates with Jira because they are both Atlassian products.""The tool makes pushing codes and setting up CI/CD pipelines easy.""The most valuable feature of the Bitbucket Server is its ease of management.

Cons
"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.""Some of the capabilities that I am looking for from a command line are not really available.""Enhancing the real-time reflection of changes online is an area that could benefit from improvement.""The solution's user interface could be improved because it's not very user-friendly or intuitive.""Bitbucket Server has limited user support for its free version. It is expensive.""The tasks on Bitbucket must be automatically integrated into Jira.""Instead of providing only raw features and plugins, Atlassian should provide a ready-to-use integration of both choices to incorporate "trunk-based" development.""We opted for the on-premises solution, and while it's quite expensive, I believe there's room for improvement in terms of pricing."
