### "Best alternative to Gitub"

April 9, 2018

5.0

Was able to make great softwares with it

Pros

It has a generous free plan, which makes it the best alternative to Gihub. Has all the functions that Github has.

Cons

I find the UI a bit had to understand, have at times felt lost in finding simple options. Besides that, everything is perfect.

September 13, 2018

4.0

Pros

### "A serious GitHub competitor, lacks broader community adoption"

April 24, 2019

5.0

Pros

In the last few years, BitBucket has risen to be a serious GitHub competitors. In terms of features, it has reached parity on all the important ones, such as pull requests, code reviews, integration with CI tools, etc. One of the few features unique to BitBucket is Mercurial support. That being said, the Mercurial VCS is clearly not as popular as it used to be since Git's rise in popularity. Although I would say the UI isn't quite as clear and friendly as GitHub's, it is definitely polished and pleasant to use. Overall, the site is fast and very reliable.

Cons

It used to be the case that BitBucket was the only service to use unlimited private repositories. Since GitHub started offering this options, as well as a great pack of free resources for students, universities and non-profit organizations, this advantage is lost. BitBucket is also missing the kind of community adoption that would make it the go-to place to host large open-source projects.

### "Manage source codes and integrate with Jira"

July 23, 2019

4.0

I'm glad that we are using Bitbucket for now. It does the job even though there are few functionalities missing. It can at times be a bit confusing but you will get hold on it very fast.

Pros

Great place to keep your codes and essential as developer. It works good with our team and we have a good way to share codes across offices together with project managers. It's good for testing and implementation and it is pretty easy to do so. I can create codes private but also for teams. The JIRA implementation is a great asset and makes Bitbucket very powerful.

Cons

It's a very expensive tool to use. At the same time it is only integratable with software from Atlassian. So you are very limited and rely on what ever they come up with. I also do experience that it can work a bit slow in larger projects. I also haven't found a way to nest repositories.

### "Bitbucket is the Top Choice for SCM"

September 28, 2022

4.0

Pros

It is very intuitive to use and everything is segregated into its own section. For code reviews, the UI is very friendly and it allows the team to work more productively when reviewing codes as you can structure your comments as a markdown conversation.

Cons

Configuring secrets and managing webhooks is not as straightforward as other products.

### "Great tool for managing a project."

September 22, 2022

4.0

Pros

They was a good performer before in this field. I liked their useability and their user experience was good.

Cons

I have to say that Bitbucket is a real disappointment. I was expecting so much more from the team and I'm really disappointed in what they've done. It's been really hard for my team to work with it and it doesn't seem like anyone on the development team cares about feedback. There are a lot of other products out there that are doing better and I

### "a smooth git repository for business "

July 15, 2018

5.0

best repository management tool for business.

Pros

Bitbucket is the best repository management for business. It integrate well with JIRA as we can create branch as jira issue/ticket number. Code review is much better in this as compared to other version control systems.

Cons

It highlight the code change on indentation change which makes it difficult to see the actual code change. Other than this I don't complain about this product.

### "Great free git and mercurial hosting platform."

February 17, 2018

5.0

Pros

The best feature of this software is that it offers both git and mercurial free hosting, which is a Godsend for individual developers or teams on a budget.

Cons

Very fast, easy to setup, secure way to manage software repositories any of kind. Very good for small development teams - free version, but it has payable too. I can not imagine working with GIT without Bitbucket.

### "A good alternative for Github"

September 1, 2018

4.0

Pros

1\. Has all the important features necessary for collaboration and code review 2. Integration with upcoming tools like Rubber Duck 3. Very good documentation available to use with git 4. Code reviews were delight as the overall experience was just good

Cons

1\. Github seems more responsive 2. Multiple times, the servers of Bitbucket were down for over 10+ minutes. This may seem very trivial but 10 minutes is a lot.

### "Bitbucket is a great git provider"

December 9, 2019

5.0

Creating repositories and setting everything up works like a breeze. The web management interface is easy to use and self explanatory.

Pros

Now with full git (and git LFS) support, Bitbucket is a go to solution for source code hosting. Unlimited private repositories are great for all who don't want to share their code with everyone.

Cons

Setting up access permissions is limited to a per-repository basis and advanced git features are not supported.

### "Does the job we need it to."

December 4, 2018

5.0

Allows the team to work on the same projects at the same time and merge all code together.

Pros

The only pro I really need to give for BitBucket is that it works and it works well. If you're looking for something to manage your teams code and allow multiple people to work on a project at once. Then this is the software for you.

Cons

Like with anything that uses Git. Occasional commit and sync errors etc. Never BitBucket's fault though.

I've been using Bitbucket to store source code for many years, it works great and provides everything needed for this.

### "Easy version control system with great Jira integration"

June 13, 2021

5.0

For many years of using this product, working with source code is well organized in a team.

Pros

Easy integration with Jira. Commits are automatically linked with corresponding issues when named properly. You can always see the current status of the issue's branch, whether the PR is merged or how many commits it has, and you can even preview them in Jira's ticket.

Cons

Sometimes it is confusing how to use some features. For example closing a branch really means to delete it in remote repository.

### "Best platform to for version controlling process"

April 27, 2019

4.0

To handle versions of files and unlimited free repo is best.

Pros

Bitbucket is a good choice if you are looking for distributed version control gateway. Making repositories and committing changes to them via git CLI is easy and quick. You can create pull requests to other authors if you want to update other repo which are not accessible. Unlimited repo creation is free of cost while it is not free in github. Setup whole repo and mapped to local system to make changes.

Cons

Need technical knowledge of git to make it ease of use. Apart from this i haven't noticed any limitation.

### "Great Way to Manage Websites/Dev Process"

February 21, 2020

5.0

I like that you can see exactly what changes have been made in Bitbucket, you have revision control, nobody overwrites your code anymore, and you can watch your new server spin up in the pipeline.

Pros

It’s a great tool for keeping track of code changes and making sure teams don’t overwrite each other’s code.

Cons

It takes a bit of work to get it set up and implemented. It can be confusing if you are new to using git, command line, etc. I am still learning.
