We performed a comparison between Bitbucket Server and GitHub based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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."Our code is secure."
"Its standout features are the seamless integration with various intelligent tools and its user-friendly nature."
"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."
"It is an amazingly stable solution."
"The product’s most valuable features are private repositories and the ability to work as a proxy for implementing CI/CD pipelines."
"Bitbucket Server easily integrates with Jira because they are both Atlassian products."
"The initial setup is straightforward. It takes half an hour to deploy."
"I believe it's user-friendly for our developers, and it's effective in terms of traceability for tracking our actions."
"Complication free with good ability for third-party integrations."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is the version control field."
"The learning curve is small."
"The product helps our team collaborate across different locations."
"Our code is secure."
"I find GitHub very user friendly."
"This solution is very easy to use which I like about it. The capacity to own artifacts and share them with others is another good feature. You don't have to write all your code from scratch, you can use available templates and alter the code according to your needs."
"GitHub's version control is valuable."
"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."
"The product's initial setup phase is complex."
"The solution's user interface could be improved because it's not very user-friendly or intuitive."
"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."
"Some of the capabilities that I am looking for from a command line are not really available."
"Instead of providing only raw features and plugins, Atlassian should provide a ready-to-use integration of both choices to incorporate "trunk-based" development."
"Bitbucket Server can experience performance issues when pushing a large amount of code. This process may take a considerable amount of time."
"The solution's cost is high and should be reduced."
"The solution needs some more controls for deleting code."
"GitHub should provide more integration in their next release, including integrating with Jenkins, CI/CD and Jira."
"They're improving the work items to track the progress of the team, but in my experience, Azure DevOps is better in this functionality. GitHub needs to improve the form to track the progress of the work done by a team."
"The merging features can be improved."
"The UI is a little outdated, so that could be improved."
"While using the solution when merging two code branches the code becomes a bit messy. This should be improved in the future."
"Could be more user friendly."
