Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The product's most valuable feature is output backup."
"The initial deployment is rather straightforward and only takes 30 minutes to an hour."
"The setup of Bitbucket is simple."
"Bitbucket is a standard git implementation with perfectly coordinated screens, it's secure, and we have had no problems with it."
"The most valuable feature of Bitbucket is its issue management."
"Bitbucket lets me create new projects in a few clicks and check out files in a seamless and integrated manner."
"It has a nice user experience to review PRs and provides great pipeline features, integrating well with other Atlassian products."
"Bitbucket is a standard source code repository with all the features you would expect. It supports Git and SVN. It's an extensive tool that provides us with merging, branching, and change management capabilities. You can compare the changes with the current and previous versions."
"The best thing about this solution is that it can be learned very quickly, and used very easily."
"The most valuable feature is having access to the local country repository even if we have problems with distance access."
"The most valuable feature of Git is its reliability and user popularity."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the branch management functionality."
"So far, the product has been stable. Stability-wise, I rate the solution an eight to nine out of ten."
"Git offers the ability to roll back to the previous version. You can also track all the small changes that you do."
"The most valuable feature of Git is its ability to track updates, such as firmware documentation. Additionally, many people can make changes to code without problems. It is able to solve conflicts very easily."
"The features I am most impressed by is the automation."
 

Cons

"The online documentation isn't sufficient for configuration at an enterprise level. If new issues arise, vendor support may be necessary."
"Fine tuning for procedures and features related to analytics and code validation is needed."
"The scalability for the cloud version can be improved."
"Bitbucket should consider having a CI/CD if they don’t have it already."
"I think the configuration can be improved because it is getting more complicated and not very well organized."
"Bitbucket should integrate a static code analyzer."
"I would like to see the integration with some of the cloud service providers improved."
"Bitbucket's usability and integration with other tools could be improved somewhat. My other issue is that Bitbucket, GitHub, GitLab, and all the other ones use slightly different jargon for the same things. They should come up with a standard language for all these tools."
"I would like more documentation."
"Git removed the credential feature."
"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."
"The price could be improved."
"It would be preferable if the updates could be completed at a faster pace."
"If the solution could provide more language support options such as Korean, it would be helpful."
"The solution could be more user-friendly."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"With our small number of users, our licensing fees are approximately $10 USD per month."
"Bitbucket is an inexpensive product."
"A full licensing cost is paid for Bitbucket."
"Licensing is on a monthly basis, it's available on our website. They have a free version, the pro version and then they have an enterprise version, and we're using a kind of the middle of the pro version for about $7 per user per month."
"I understand Bitbucket's cost is on the higher side."
"Bitbucket may be perceived as costly for smaller companies."
"We have approximately 40 licenses for Bitbucket."
"I did not pay for the license as I was using a corporate license. But I think the pricing is fair."
"Git is an open-source software."
"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."
"This is an open-source solution, so there are no licensing fees associated with it, and no extra, 'hidden' charges."
"There are some extra costs to Git, but it depends on your use case."
"The tool is an open-source product."
"I rate the tool's pricing a five out of ten."
"We use the open-source version."
"We are using the open-source version, which is available free of charge."
