"Our code is secure."
"The product is easy to maintain."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is server management."
"The tool makes pushing codes and setting up CI/CD pipelines easy."
"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."
"It is an easily scalable solution."
"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."
"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."
"At the moment, there are not many details on how to proceed with the troubleshooting if one of the users faces an issue with the product."
"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."
"The tasks on Bitbucket must be automatically integrated into Jira."
"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 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 solution's user interface could be improved because it's not very user-friendly or intuitive."
"The protection needs to be improved."
"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."
