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."The tool makes pushing codes and setting up CI/CD pipelines easy."
"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."
"I believe it's user-friendly for our developers, and it's effective in terms of traceability for tracking our actions."
"Integration of Bitbucket with JIRA & Bamboo is well done by Atlassian."
"It is an easily scalable solution."
"Bitbucket Server supports code collaboration by providing commands developers can use to check in code. Through comments, developers can specify the purpose of the code check-in. Additionally, Bitbucket allows tagging of code for releases."
"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."
"GitHub's source code management is top-notch. It's easy to inspect changes and visualize code and differences. Their action system is comprehensive in terms of making changes and automation."
"We use GitHub instead of our regular shared drive. It offers instant access to shared folders as well as good security."
"This solution is very easy to use which I like about it. The capacity to own artifacts and share them with others is another good feature. You don't have to write all your code from scratch, you can use available templates and alter the code according to your needs."
"This product allows us to easily collaborate on development tasks with our subcontractors, and control the workflow as the project progresses."
"I use this solution to store my code in a repository so we can manage version control which is useful."
"I like the CI/CD features."
"GitHub provides the SFH key to protect our passwords and connection."
"A great feature is being able to have different repositories and different kinds of projects in a single solution at a single time. It's just a click away."
"The product interface consists of multiple features that are complicated to navigate for new users."
"The tasks on Bitbucket must be automatically integrated into Jira."
"Some of the capabilities that I am looking for from a command line are not really available."
"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."
"If I want to mail someone a master branch, then sometimes it shows some conflict with other codes in the master branch."
"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 solution's user interface could be improved because it's not very user-friendly or intuitive."
"The solution can improve by adding video guides, official guides, or short courses that cater to beginners who are new to the system. These resources could offer step-by-step guidance on how to use GitHub, including common procedures such as pulling and committing. Currently, many of us have to resort to searching for information on how to do these tasks via Google. An official guide provided by GitHub itself would be a valuable asset to newcomers and would save them time and effort."
"We would like this solution to have a more user-friendly interface."
"I would like to see more security where a plugin was available for us to update in relation to security."
"The GitHub repository needs an upgraded user interface and overall UI improvements."
"There is a bit of a learning curve."
"This solution could be improved if migration was fully automated to make it easy, for example, to migrate repositories into GitHub."
"It would be good if there were training materials for junior developers."
"The GUI design is poor, so I exclusively use the CLI, which is much easier to use and understand. It would be great to see the GUI updated to be more user-friendly."
