Find out in this report how the two Version Control solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."I believe it's user-friendly for our developers, and it's effective in terms of traceability for tracking our actions."
"It is an amazingly stable solution."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is server management."
"It is an easily scalable solution."
"The product’s most valuable features are private repositories and the ability to work as a proxy for implementing CI/CD pipelines."
"Integration of Bitbucket with JIRA & Bamboo is well done by Atlassian."
"Bitbucket Server supports code collaboration by providing commands developers can use to check in code. Through comments, developers can specify the purpose of the code check-in. Additionally, Bitbucket allows tagging of code for releases."
"Bitbucket Server easily integrates with Jira because they are both Atlassian products."
"IBM Rational ClearCase is a stable solution. I have not had any difficulty with reliability."
"ClearCase integrates well with other engineering tools and frameworks such as the Eclipse environment."
"The tool had features similar to Git for version control. It offered branching and merging capabilities, providing better control over code management. Integration was possible with other tools, including some change management tools. The overall process was normal."
"The product requires patching and version improvements. Some functions do not work properly when we move from one version to another. We need a technical improvement. Also, communicating with other Atlassian products becomes cumbersome when we move from one version to another. I want Bitbucket Server to include a dashboard similar to Jira's. Atlassian must also develop a tool to scan our complete base for vulnerabilities."
"Bitbucket Server can experience performance issues when pushing a large amount of code. This process may take a considerable amount of time."
"The response time of the product's support team may not be good enough to meet the expectations of users, making it an area where improvements are required."
"Some of the capabilities that I am looking for from a command line are not really available."
"We opted for the on-premises solution, and while it's quite expensive, I believe there's room for improvement in terms of pricing."
"The tasks on Bitbucket must be automatically integrated into Jira."
"Instead of providing only raw features and plugins, Atlassian should provide a ready-to-use integration of both choices to incorporate "trunk-based" development."
"The product interface consists of multiple features that are complicated to navigate for new users."
"I have found it very difficult to understand many functionalities in IBM Rational ClearCase. We have had many problems and it is not user-friendly."
"The solution's UI is slow compared to other tools. It is an old tool."
"The protection needs to be improved."
