Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It seems to be quite scalable."
"I find Bitbucket's branching, pull requests, and branch mergers very valuable."
"The version control feature for our code and the security aspect is valuable to us."
"The setup of Bitbucket is simple."
"We have a couple of different tools that allow us to tie source code changes to report bugs. It's integrated with a bug tracking system and also integrated with what requires a tracking system. So we have better facilities. We get with the command line and can type all that stuff in and get the same kind of trust, but when we d it all manually, it's not likely to happen."
"Bitbucket is definitely a tool to consider if somebody is still on CVS. It is a great tool and well integrated with Bamboo."
"The planning model is good, and so is the suite of applications around it."
"Multiple users can work on the same repository using different branches, making it beneficial."
"The most valuable feature of Git is the ease of tracking in time what the snapshot of the code was at a particular moment. The versioning is good."
"The repository management and check-in/check-out commands are the most valuable features for ensuring secure code."
"So far, the product has been stable. Stability-wise, I rate the solution an eight to nine out of ten."
"The implementation is easy."
"The best thing about this solution is that it can be learned very quickly, and used very easily."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the branch management functionality."
"Git has a lot of online tutorials and resources available."
"The setup process is pretty simple."
 

Cons

"The online documentation isn't sufficient for configuration at an enterprise level. If new issues arise, vendor support may be necessary."
"There is room for improvement in the workflow. Other similar tools offer automation and more streamlined workflows, which Bitbucket currently lacks."
"The module component needs improvement."
"Bitbucket doesn't currently offer AI functionalities."
"The product could be less expensive for small companies."
"I rate Bitbucket five out of 10 for affordability. It isn't cheap."
"Fine tuning for procedures and features related to analytics and code validation is needed."
"Bitbucket could improve search and indexing capabilities. There is only basic searching available. There is only the ability to index the main branch but not the subbranches. The search capabilities are dodgy."
"About the configuration it is a little bit difficult, it can be improved."
"New developers sometimes find it difficult to call a review or create a request."
"I believe there is room for improvement in preventing work loss due to conflicts or overwriting. Another area for improvement could be implementing features for automated code verification within Git."
"If other people are included in their project, you're going to have to make merge requests to merge the code you made, and the code your colleagues have made. So it's a little bit complicated."
"The solution could improve by having more customization."
"The platform could have a feature for monitoring data recovery similar to Azure."
"Git's user interface could be improved."
"The GUI needs to be improved."

"I rate the pricing an eight out of ten because it is cheaper than solutions like GitLab."

"I rate the pricing a seven out of ten because it is expensive."

"Git is free and you don't have to pay for it."
"There are some extra costs to Git, but it depends on your use case."
"I am not required to pay due to the small number of users we have. We have a small user base, and we are not using the enterprise version."
