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 Bitbucket is you can see the differences between the fresh code and the old code before you merge. Additionally, the solution is easy to use and well-integrated."
"It has a nice user experience to review PRs and provides great pipeline features, integrating well with other Atlassian products."
"The planning model is good, and so is the suite of applications around it."
"Bitbucket has a pull request-based method, similar to Git's merge request feature."
"The tool helps us manage different versions of code and branches. I like that Bitbucket is similar to Git but may have some vendor support. It has many of the same features as Git."
"Bitbucket is feasible and friendly compared to Visual Studio DevOps on the Microsoft platform."
"Code check in and code version control."
"BitBucket is a reliable and user-friendly product."
"The features I am most impressed by is the automation."
"The tool's most valuable feature is branch workflows."
"Git's learning curve is shallow, making the solution easy to use after a few tutorials."
"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."
"The best thing about this solution is that it can be learned very quickly, and used very easily."

"The solution could improve by having more customization."
"The UI can be more user-friendly."
