Featured Reviews

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 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."
"We have approximately 300 to 400 users using this solution. Our whole organization uses it. I rate the scalability of Bitbucket an eight out of ten."
"Bitbucket works, and it's reliable"
"BitBucket is a reliable and user-friendly product."
"The code reviews and the ability to support DevSecOps are very important."
"What I liked the most about this program is that it integrates seamlessly with JIRA."
"The most valuable thing we have found is the workloads are good in Jira and we are able to control the access."
"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 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."
"It will be useful for teams to automate and reduce manual work."
 

Cons

"We need an improved automation feature for the cloud."
"The module component needs improvement."
"In terms of the commits, we currently create a pull request, however, we are not able to assign any."
"Although Bitbucket is scalable, there's always room for improvement in terms of scalability."
"The product could be less expensive for small companies."
"Could provide some default branching options for users to adopt."
"The solution is not user-friendly. Right now, the solution is not so easy to understand. It needs to update its design and overall user experience."
"In future releases, more integration is always a valuable aspect to consider."
"We were not able to delete some of the tables because of a security issue."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"A full licensing cost is paid for Bitbucket."
"Bitbucket may be perceived as costly for smaller companies."
"I rate the product price as two on a scale of one to ten, where ten means that it is a very expensive tool."
"With our small number of users, our licensing fees are approximately $10 USD per month."
"The product offers competitive pricing structures for small to medium-sized businesses, which is especially beneficial for smaller teams."
"When it comes to licensing we have the standard plan."
"Sometimes there are issues in obtaining licenses and the pricing could be improved."
"The pricing is fair."
"Liquibase is an open-source solution."
