We performed a comparison between Bitbucket Server and IBM Rational ClearCase 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."Bitbucket Server easily integrates with Jira because they are both Atlassian products."
"It is an easily scalable solution."
"Its standout features are the seamless integration with various intelligent tools and its user-friendly nature."
"The product is easy to maintain."
"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 tool makes pushing codes and setting up CI/CD pipelines easy."
"It is an amazingly stable solution."
"I believe it's user-friendly for our developers, and it's effective in terms of traceability for tracking our actions."
"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."
"We opted for the on-premises solution, and while it's quite expensive, I believe there's room for improvement in terms of pricing."
"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 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."
"Bitbucket Server can experience performance issues when pushing a large amount of code. This process may take a considerable amount of time."
"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."
"Instead of providing only raw features and plugins, Atlassian should provide a ready-to-use integration of both choices to incorporate "trunk-based" development."
"The protection needs to be improved."
"The solution's UI is slow compared to other tools. It is an old tool."
"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."
