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.
"The planning model is good, and so is the suite of applications around it."
"The version control feature for our code and the security aspect is valuable to us."
"You can use Bitbucket to whitelist IP addresses during deployment."
"Bitbucket is feasible and friendly compared to Visual Studio DevOps on the Microsoft platform."
"The solution is easy to use. If I need to check out my latest code or I need to send my local code to the depositories it is simple. Overall it is has been a good experience from my side using this solution."
"Bitbucket is a standard git implementation with perfectly coordinated screens, it's secure, and we have had no problems with it."
"The most valuable feature of Bitbucket is its capabilities."
"Bitbucket is definitely a tool to consider if somebody is still on CVS. It is a great tool and well integrated with Bamboo."
"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 most valuable feature of the Bitbucket Server is its ease of management. The solution is easy to manage once we migrate and set up the data. The solution offers a fast code push feature."
"Its standout features are the seamless integration with various intelligent tools and its user-friendly nature."
"Bitbucket Server easily integrates with Jira because they are both Atlassian products."
"It is an easily scalable solution."
"The tool makes pushing codes and setting up CI/CD pipelines easy."
"It is an amazingly stable solution."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is server management."
"Bitbucket's usability and integration with other tools could be improved somewhat. My other issue is that Bitbucket, GitHub, GitLab, and all the other ones use slightly different jargon for the same things. They should come up with a standard language for all these tools."
"I think the configuration can be improved because it is getting more complicated and not very well organized."
"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."
"Bitbucket should come with code review pre-integrated, which would be better than integrating another tool into the solution."
"Could provide some default branching options for users to adopt."
"I would like to see the security logs option on the tool directly. The current way to work with security logs is through an email protocol."
"We need an improved automation feature for the cloud."
"When users are given access for the first time, they should have some basic setups to help them specify their purposes."
"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."
"Bitbucket Server can experience performance issues when pushing a large amount of code. This process may take a considerable amount of time."
"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."
"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."
"Enhancing the real-time reflection of changes online is an area that could benefit from improvement."
"Bitbucket Server has limited user support for its free version. It is expensive."
"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."
