We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pricing and Cost Advice
"You have to buy additional licenses when you exceed 50 users."
"With our small number of users, our licensing fees are approximately $10 USD per month."
"Licensing is on a monthly basis, it's available on our website. They have a free version, the pro version and then they have an enterprise version, and we're using a kind of the middle of the pro version for about $7 per user per month."
"We have approximately 40 licenses for Bitbucket."
"I understand Bitbucket's cost is on the higher side."
"I rate the price from Bitbucket a four out of five."
"Sometimes there are issues in obtaining licenses and the pricing could be improved."
"When it comes to licensing we have the standard plan."
"The private repositories are free, which is very good."
"It is open-source. There is no license for GitHub."
"The price of this solution is reasonable."
"If there are only 10 people using a particular repository, then GitHub is free. But if we increase the number of users, we need to pay the normal charge for GitHub."
"We have an enterprise licensing agreement, and I am not part of the finance department so I can't say how much it costs."
"I haven't had to pay anything for GitHub, I use the free version."
"The licensing model for GitHub is user-based. Whenever the new developer joins we have to get a new license and register their ID. The overall price of the solution is reasonable."
Bitbucket is a team-oriented Git-based code hosting and collaboration solution. The best-in-class Jira and Trello integrations in Bitbucket are meant to bring the entire software team together to complete a project. Bitbucket gives your team a single location to collaborate on code from concept to cloud deployment, to generate quality code through automated testing, and to deploy code with confidence.
There are three deployment options for Bitbucket:
Bitbucket Cloud is a web-based version of Bitbucket that is hosted on Atlassian's servers and accessible via a URL. Pipelines, an exclusive built-in CI/CD tool in Bitbucket Cloud, allows you to create, test, and deploy directly from Bitbucket.
Bitbucket Server is installed on your computer and runs in your environment. Bamboo, our robust CI/CD platform, has strong connections with Bitbucket Server, allowing you to totally automate your workflow. The license is unlimited.
Bitbucket Data Center appears to users as a single instance of Bitbucket Server, but it is actually hosted on a cluster of servers in your environment.
This has some advantages over Bitbucket Server:
Availability: If one cluster node fails, the remaining cluster node(s) can continue to service requests, resulting in little or no downtime for customers.
Performance at scale: A cluster of numerous Bitbucket Server-running machines can manage more traffic than a single system.
Mirroring: For distributed teams working with large repositories, smart mirroring can increase Git clone performance.
Bitbucket Features
Bitbucket has many valuable key features. Some of the most useful ones include:
Workflow control: This helps you to enforce a project or team workflow.
Cooperation: Pull requests with inline commentary for code review cooperation.
Customization: If you don't find what you're looking for in our Marketplace, you can use our full Rest API to create unique features for your workflow.
Jira and Trello integration: Bring order to the chaos and keep the entire software company informed. Access to Jira issues and Trello cards' branches, build status, commits, and status.
Code collaboration: From concept to cloud, code collaboration is a must. Create a merging checklist with designated approvers and check for passing builds before transitioning Jira issues based on pull request status.
Consistent delivery: With built-in continuous delivery, you can build and test automatically. Build, test, and deploy with Bitbucket Pipelines, our integrated CI/CD solution. Benefit from code-based configuration and quick feedback loops.
Simple deployment: Keep track of your deployments, preview them, and confidently promote them.
Code security: You can rest easy knowing your code is safe on the cloud, and you can use checks to prevent errors from occurring.
Reviews from Real Users
Bitbucket stands out among its competitors for a number of reasons. Two major ones are its robust traceability and user-friendly interface. PeerSpot users take note of the advantages of these features in their reviews:
Kajal P., Quality Assurance Manager at a tech services company, notes, “The solution is easy to use. If I need to check out my latest code or I need to send my local code to the depositories it is simple. Overall it has been a good experience from my side using this solution."
GitHub is a web-based Git repository hosting service. It offers all of the distributed revision control and source code management (SCM) functionality of Git as well as adding its own features. Unlike Git, which is strictly a command-line tool, GitHub provides a Web-based graphical interface and desktop as well as mobile integration. It also provides access control and several collaboration features such as bug tracking, feature requests, task management, and wikis for every project.
Perforce, the Fast Software Configuration Management System, is a tool that versions and manages source code and digital assets for enterprises. Perforce is easy to install, learn and administer; seamlessly handles distributed development; and supports developers across a large number of platforms. Perforce ensures development integrity by grouping multi-file updates into atomic changes, enables concurrent development, and intelligently manages multiple software releases using its Inter-File Branching system.
