"Bitbucket works fine for what I'm doing. It's slightly different from GitHub, but it's a good tool for storing code."
"Bitbucket is an integral part of our CI/CD project."
"The code reviews and the ability to support DevSecOps are very important."
"Bitbucket's most valuable feature is the web interface, which is useful compared to other tools, has a lot of features, and is intuitive."
"Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"We use Bitbucket for Jira, Confluence, and Jenkins and we have an automation pipeline. Whenever the coaching is done in Bitbucket we run an automation pipeline from the build, create installations, and tests all in one pipeline. It is done automatically."
"BitBucket is a reliable and user-friendly product."
"Bitbucket works, and it's reliable"
"Bitbucket Server integrates well with other products."
"The tool makes pushing codes and setting up CI/CD pipelines easy."
"It is an easily scalable solution."
"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 product is easy to maintain."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is server management."
"Our code is secure."
"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."
"The module component needs improvement."
"There is room for improvement in the workflow. Other similar tools offer automation and more streamlined workflows, which Bitbucket currently lacks."
"The installation of Bitbucket on our server was not as easy as other Atlassian products, so it is something that can be improved."
"The solution is not user-friendly. Right now, the solution is not so easy to understand. It needs to update its design and overall user experience."
"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."
"Bitbucket should come with code review pre-integrated, which would be better than integrating another tool into the solution."
"When users are given access for the first time, they should have some basic setups to help them specify their purposes."
"It goes well with other Atlassian solutions like Jira or Bamboo, but integration with other third-party solutions is more complex."
"Some of the capabilities that I am looking for from a command line are not really available."
"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 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."
"Enhancing the real-time reflection of changes online is an area that could benefit from improvement."
"The user experience is tedious and long-winded. It could also be smoother from an admin's perspective."
"The tasks on Bitbucket must be automatically integrated into Jira."
"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."
