Cuneyt-Gurses - PeerSpot reviewer
Helps us improve our development workflows and enhance team collaboration
Our primary use case for Bitbucket revolves around version control and collaborative development. We utilize it extensively to manage our codebase, facilitate Git operations, and automate our CI/CD pipelines on the Bitbucket Cloud platform. This setup enables seamless collaboration among our team…
Sudheer Kumar Jamjam - PeerSpot reviewer
Offers integration with multiple databases, stable product and reduced our manual intervention
I would recommend using it. To learn Liquibase, one should have some database knowledge. If the person is from a DBA background, they would be able to learn quickly. But if they are from an application or infrastructure role, it's medium complex. Before getting started, you should thoroughly go through the documentation and follow the latest changes deployed by the Liquibase product team. Basically, when using the product, you should be able to understand it and stay updated on the latest releases. Overall, I would rate the product a nine out of ten. Organizations should have this kind of tool to reduce manual intervention. The one point they could improve on is documentation, which they haven't clarified, and they need to work on that a lot.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Bitbucket is an integral part of our CI/CD project."
"The most valuable thing we have found is the workloads are good in Jira and we are able to control the access."
"The solution is easy to use. If I need to check out my latest code or I need to send my local code to the depositories it is simple. Overall it is has been a good experience from my side using this solution."
"The tool's automation helped because we onboarded a lot of projects and teams into Bitbucket. The product's automation helped us complete activities in two days which previously used to take around two weeks to complete. We have completely automated processes that were earlier manual. It has good integration with Jira and Jenkins."
"The product's initial setup phase experience was good."
"Bitbucket is significantly cheaper compared to GitHub and it provides on-premises hosting."
"Bitbucket has a very clean UI, especially with the pull request dashboards where we can directly see the source and destination branches and the change, and the diff between the files in a single UI."
"Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"It will be useful for teams to automate and reduce manual work."
"The solution is easy to use, and it has very clear documentation."
"They have some nice features around the automation of rule checking. They have a rules engine that checks the SQL code so that you can actually do your edit checks on the validity of the SQL code. If you don't want certain tables to be able to have certain things done to them, you can have it checked for that. It's a very flexible way to kind of do an automated peer review of the SQL code to catch things before you actually try to deploy it."
 

Cons

"There could be more AI features included in the product."
"The UI could be a little better compared to competing solutions."
"There are many places where the product could be expanded to make it a more complete solution."
"It goes well with other Atlassian solutions like Jira or Bamboo, but integration with other third-party solutions is more complex."
"Bitbucket could improve its security. For example, the user access security could improve."
"The module component needs improvement."
"The online documentation isn't sufficient for configuration at an enterprise level. If new issues arise, vendor support may be necessary."
"The product could be less expensive for small companies."
"One thing we faced issues with is that Liquibase does not show the exact error, which added to the complexity."
"The pricing is quite high."
"We were not able to delete some of the tables because of a security issue."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Bitbucket is an inexpensive product."
"A full licensing cost is paid for Bitbucket."
"I rate the price from Bitbucket a four out of five."
"I understand Bitbucket's cost is on the higher side."
"Bitbucket is a cost-effective solution. It is the cheapest in the market. It is lower than GitLab and GitHub."
"I did not pay for the license as I was using a corporate license. But I think the pricing is fair."
"When it comes to licensing we have the standard plan."
"Bitbucket is a low-priced tool."
"The pricing is fair."
"Liquibase is an open-source solution."
