The summary above is based on 39 interviews we conducted recently with Bitbucket and Bitbucket Server users. To access the review's full transcripts, download our report.
"Bitbucket's most valuable feature is the web interface, which is useful compared to other tools, has a lot of features, and is intuitive."
"Bitbucket is a standard git implementation with perfectly coordinated screens, it's secure, and we have had no problems with it."
"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."
"We have a couple of different tools that allow us to tie source code changes to report bugs. It's integrated with a bug tracking system and also integrated with what requires a tracking system. So we have better facilities. We get with the command line and can type all that stuff in and get the same kind of trust, but when we d it all manually, it's not likely to happen."
"Code check in and code version control."
"Git is Bitbucket's most valuable feature."
"The version control feature for our code and the security aspect is valuable to us."
"This is a very dependable product that is easy to use and it has an excellent GUI interface."
"Bitbucket Server easily integrates with Jira because they are both Atlassian products."
"Bitbucket Server is easy to use. You can use other applications to access it, or you can use it to access the internet. You can use solutions, such as Sourcetree, which is free, and put it on your development system and use it to do the check-in, checkouts, and those type of operations. It is nice, but some other developers may agree."
"The product’s most valuable features are private repositories and the ability to work as a proxy for implementing CI/CD pipelines."
"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."
"Integration of Bitbucket with JIRA & Bamboo is well done by Atlassian."
"Its standout features are the seamless integration with various intelligent tools and its user-friendly nature."
"Our code is secure."
"The initial setup is straightforward. It takes half an hour to deploy."
"There could be more AI features included in the product."
"The scalability could be improved."
"One of the areas the solution could improve on is when there is a merging conflict it is quite confusing. When I am having a merging conflict I get stuck on the page, then I need to search how to handle the particular problem. For example, finding what the commands are which can be used."
"The tool offers a limited pipeline structure."
"Bitbucket could improve pipeline building and deployment. Our deployments are not using the Bitbucket. Deployments we are going through Azure DevOps, but the integration is happening in Bitbucket."
"The scalability for the cloud version can be improved."
"The product could be less expensive for small companies."
"Fine tuning for procedures and features related to analytics and code validation is needed."
"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."
"If I want to mail someone a master branch, then sometimes it shows some conflict with other codes in the master branch."
"Enhancing the real-time reflection of changes online is an area that could benefit from improvement."
"It would have been better to use Bitbucket Server if it had something similar to the concept called GitHub Actions since it allows GitHub to provide seamless integration of CI/CD pipelines."
"The product interface consists of multiple features that are complicated to navigate for new users."
"Bitbucket Server has limited user support for its free version. It is expensive."
"The solution's user interface could be improved because it's not very user-friendly or intuitive."
"Some of the capabilities that I am looking for from a command line are not really available."
