"The initial deployment is rather straightforward and only takes 30 minutes to an hour."
"BitBucket is a reliable and user-friendly product."
"The product's initial setup phase experience was good."
"The tool's automation helped because we onboarded a lot of projects and teams into Bitbucket. The product's automation helped us complete activities in two days which previously used to take around two weeks to complete. We have completely automated processes that were earlier manual. It has good integration with Jira and Jenkins."
"We have a couple of different tools that allow us to tie source code changes to report bugs. It's integrated with a bug tracking system and also integrated with what requires a tracking system. So we have better facilities. We get with the command line and can type all that stuff in and get the same kind of trust, but when we d it all manually, it's not likely to happen."
"This is a very dependable product that is easy to use and it has an excellent GUI interface."
"IBM Rational ClearCase is a stable solution. I have not had any difficulty with reliability."
"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."
"ClearCase integrates well with other engineering tools and frameworks such as the Eclipse environment."
"I think the configuration can be improved because it is getting more complicated and not very well organized."
"Sometimes we struggle with searching on repositories. It is a bit challenging sometimes to pinpoint the code or repositories when just filtering by repositories."
"The installation of Bitbucket on our server was not as easy as other Atlassian products, so it is something that can be improved."
"Could provide some default branching options for users to adopt."
"Fine tuning for procedures and features related to analytics and code validation is needed."
"Bitbucket should consider having a CI/CD if they don’t have it already."
"Bitbucket can improve by integrating a tool to manage conflict code. This would save time."
"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."
"The protection needs to be improved."
"The solution's UI is slow compared to other tools. It is an old tool."
