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."
"The product’s most valuable features are private repositories and the ability to work as a proxy for implementing CI/CD pipelines."
"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."
"In terms of benefits, I feel that many companies are moving to Bitbucket Server since it can be deployed on an on-premises model at a time when everything is being moved to the cloud."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is server management."
"The tool makes pushing codes and setting up CI/CD pipelines easy."
"The initial setup is straightforward. It takes half an hour to deploy."
"Bitbucket Server easily integrates with Jira because they are both Atlassian products."
"There are no issues. It's simple, easy, and fully compatible from my perspective with Git."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is the version control field."
"The product's initial setup phase is easy but it is always good to connect with GitHub's team that manages APIs."
"The learning curve is small."
"I would rate the stability a ten out of ten."
"GitHub is convenient and easy to use."
"The solution has been stable for us."
"The flexibility of this solution has been most valuable. It operates on a pay per use basis where you can ramp up or decrease usage."
"The user experience is tedious and long-winded. It could also be smoother from an admin's perspective."
"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."
"If I want to mail someone a master branch, then sometimes it shows some conflict with other codes in the master branch."
"Bitbucket Server can experience performance issues when pushing a large amount of code. This process may take a considerable amount of time."
"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 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 project management sector really needs some improvement for GitHub. I don't know if GitHub made sense for me as a project manager."
"This solution could be improved if migration was fully automated to make it easy, for example, to migrate repositories into GitHub."
"The GitHub repository needs an upgraded user interface and overall UI improvements."
"Though I haven't done much research, GitHub lacks in providing more functions like GitLab."
"There is room for improvement in terms of interface."
"GitHub could have better integration or capability with other solutions."
"The initial setup and implementation could be easier, I had some difficulties with it at first but I don't have a development background."
"There could be more integration into Azure."
