### "Great repository manager!"

August 21, 2020

5.0

Great repo management. I highly enjoy the experience, even though I was skeptic at first, coming from GitHub. after getting used to it though, navigating in GitHub seems very cumbersome and messy.

Pros

First of all, BitBucket UI is great. It's minimal, it's crisp, it's well though of and it's beautiful. It looks great and simple and gets you to do the common action while pushing and managing code in your repo fast and with as few clicks as possible.

Cons

I would love for some customization of the sidebar. If I could move it to the bottom/top of the screen that would be nice.

Because my current company uses BitBucket and not GitHub.

### "Bitbucket Review"

October 14, 2018

3.0

its very user friendly when compare to vsts.

Pros

I like the way creating Pull Request. Permissions assigning to new memebrs to control areas of access. creating new story boards and look through the burn down charts. I like the Kanban's to organise the bugs to resolve.

Cons

when creating the pull requests if its do pre merge like VSTS does then it would be more useful other wise we need to do merge in the next step.

### "Bitbucket has been there "

June 29, 2020

4.0

Bitbucket is an OK service, unfortunately the competition is really good, and they need to do double effort for continuing in the fight with them. See it more for big corporations, not many startups will begin with it.

Pros

I will be quite honest with this review, one of the greatest advantages is the option for private repositories Bitbucket offers. This is something great that GitHub doesn't have unless you pay.

Cons

I personally can't explain why I don't use Bitbucket as main git repository. It's good, but their competition has been in the market long time ago and they continue improving. So it's a complicated decision trying to move from GitHub or Gitab to Bitbucket.

Reason for choosing Bitbucket

We went because we need it some private repositories and didn't want to pay for the private repos GitHub has.

### "Best tool for control versioning, better combined with other Atlassian tools"

February 24, 2021

5.0

Another great tool of Atlassian that works great combined. You have all versions, pull requests and so under control

Pros

I specially like the combination of using this with other tools from Atlassian, like for example Jira, where you have automatically linked the tasks with the source code/changes done by the developers.

Cons

Nothing in special, I think it's an amazing tool. Maybe it's a bit hard to setup if you are not used to it.

### "Company Source Control"

September 30, 2019

5.0

Very positive, we had been using Bitbucket for 5+ years to manage our test automation framework across teams for different clients. Spinning up a copy of the framework for each new client was quite easy. The integration with Sourcetree was a plus since we worked mostly with junior staff.

Pros

Bitbucket integrates perfectly with Source Tree which provides a nice GUI for managing your GIT repos. Bitbucket is GIT based. The teams and projects feature worked well within our organization to manage different groups of repos with different functional focus.

Cons

Most of our experience with Bitbucket was positive. There is server hiccups on the very odd occasion, but that was so rare and did not impact us.

### "A good version control tool"

March 13, 2018

5.0

Have used it as version control system for my code repository on which multiple people were working.

Pros

Easy to create branch. Good feature of reviewing code before merging to code by raising pull requests. Support for integration with JIRA and GIT Branch access control feature is good to have.

Cons

Merging is little tricky. You need to have premium version of Bit bucket to have that ease of merging. Pricing can be better.

We use Bitbucket as your main storage for developing and deploying web projects. This service can be used for company of any size and free version can be more then enough for small projects.

Cons

\- Complex interface, especially options - Default client for Bitbucket is not very easy to use and setup

### "everything you need, nothing you don't"

January 10, 2017

5.0

when we were selecting a source control system for our startup we narrowed the short list down to three options: github, TFS for git and bitbucket. After evaluating all three, bitbucket was the obvious choice because it allowed us to simplify billing because we planned on using atlassian's jira. In terms of overall experience using the product we couldn't be happier - its fast and reliable. Since starting with bitbucket, we've expanded our use of atlassian products, which as a suite, is second to none in the software development management and productivity space.

Pros

Its simple and reliable. we use git from the command line so we don't often use the web user interface, but when we do, its not a chore to figure out what we need to do in order to accomplish the task at hand. As a software development manager, I also appreciate how easy it is to manage access to repos for my teams.

Cons

viewing large number of branches could be a better experience.

### "Watch out GitHub, there's a new sheriff in town!"

February 28, 2021

5.0

We're still beginning our journey with Bitbucket, but thanks to its flexibility, we've actually managed to make the switch from Github in a very small amount of time. We love the wiki feature, thanks to which our documentations are far easier to prepare and skim through. So far- we're delighted!

Pros

Flexibility is one of the features that we've loved about Bitbucket. No matter what you'll throw at it - be it Google Code, Git, or even Sourceforge stuff, it'll handle it like a champ. It's also cheaper, and it has the wiki feature, that's extremely easy to set up and VERY helpful.

Cons

We're still waiting for the community to spread some more love for Bitbucket, especially in terms of third-party solutions, like plugins.

Mostly - BitBucket was a cheaper solution.

### "I have used botbucket to share development work on a project "

May 16, 2018

5.0

Pros

I love that I can see, my full project from the mobile app. This is a great feature that allows me to see what was checked in when I'm away from my computer. I love how easy it is to push and pull projects. I love that for small projects their service is free

Cons

Setting up exclude files for git is a pain. Too often I'd pull setting or cache files that were not supposed to be in the push. While this is not a problem specific to bitbucket, it would be nice if they provided some sort of support or tutorial about setting up your exclude file

### "Best version control system for buiseness"

June 12, 2018

5.0

Pros

Bitbucket is cheap and excellent solution to version control. One of the advantage of bitbucket is that it support Mercurial VCS along with GIT. One of the best feature I like is that it can be easily integrated with JIRA.

Cons

As of cons, I didn't see any disadvantage of this product. But one thing is that it good for business only. For open source, I would prefer Github over Bitbucket

### "My take on Bitbucket"

July 18, 2019

4.0

Bitbucket is a solid alternative in the realm of GIT hosting solutions. For most day to day use cases it fulfills its role perfectly. However for task usually related exclusively to GUI such as managing Pull Request its interface can be seen at times as confusing.

Pros

Bitbucket is a GIT solution caters well to the Business environment. As expected of any Git hosting provider it provides everything one can want in terms of command line interface.

Cons

Its interface despite being clean and serious it's also much less clear and friendly than it's competitors when it comes to manage continuous integration and Pull/Merge Request via Interface.

### "More Private repos with self-hosted solution!"

December 7, 2019

5.0

I’ve had great experience using it with my teams whenever I work on bigger projects

Pros

LOVE that it has more private repos allocation compared to the most popular alternative - Github. The self-hosted solution also makes it ideal for it to be used with organisation-based teams.

Cons

I don’t think there is much that I can fault the software for. Just that personally, i find Github’s UI more intuitive overall.

### "Review for Bitbucket"

April 28, 2019

4.0

Pros

Its a very good tool for version our codes. it allows us to review and give review comments to the code in a simpler ways . further it allows to create multiple private repositories and stores our codes in a secured manner.

Cons

Little bit difficult for the novice user to use the software since too much of options are there and a new user will find it a bit difficult. so it would be great if they can improve user experience in it. For PR they can use better labeling option to search by label which would be great to find and review PR

### "Free and easy to use version control tool"

December 20, 2018

5.0

My overall experience with the Bitbucket is really good. It helps me to save my money as it is free and it helps me to save my time too with its great features.

Pros

The major advantage I am getting from bitbucket is, it is free. As I am working with a small team, bitbucket gives us unlimited number of free private repositories. And the other best advantage is it can be integrated with the bug tracking tool JIRA.

Cons

As the private repositories are free for a team includes no more than 5 people, I am afraid that it will be need to pay if we get additional member to our team.

### "Fit the need to do version control"

October 22, 2019

4.0

We are using this to version control the in house software we write as a team. We also are connecting it to Jira and Confluence.

Pros

The best thing about Bitbucket is its ability to integrate with other Atlassian products. So if you use Jira it is the versioning software you need! It is so nice to have everything work together and to be able to do things from other programs. Super plusses for any company that gives educational discounts!

Cons

We tried the server version first and that was a no go for us. It felt archaic and outdated. There weren't near as many features like build in CI/CD. The cloud version is so much better!

GitLab didn't integrate with Atlassian products as well and their educational discount wasn't as good as Bitbuckets.

### "Bitbucket an affordable alternative for students compared to Github "

November 29, 2020

4.0

Overall very positive I am glad bitbucket helped me when github was charging for lot of money and only giving 5 private repositories....

Pros

\+ Private repositories are free by default which is great because some sensitive credentials should not be made public + Can commit and push to git repository using both SSH keys and HTTPS is a plus + Unlimited repositories and reasonable repository size up to 100MB last time I checked.

Cons

\+ Two factor authentication is a mess almost lost access to my account due to a misconfigured 2FA SMS instead of using my authenticator app + Does not support verified signing of my commit using GPG key(s) + Poor social support and project visibility ... no famous open source project using bit bucket right now

### "Great code management tool"

January 29, 2019

4.0

Pros

It has an a very beautiful and well designed interface that makes the software easy to use. There's a tight and seamless integration with other Atlassian products that we use. Another nice thing is that private repo is available in the free version, unlike with Github. I also like the easy customization options available. Customizing permissions and other settings are very easily achievable.

Cons

I thing I don't really like is the very small amount of team members allowed in the free version - just five. Another thing is that it doesn't have a large community behind it

I use bitbucket daily for committing project changes to the cloud and keeps me relaxed from worrying about system crash

Pros

Great User Interface of dashboard for managing multiple projects and syncing project commits using terminal and source tree.Ability to share projects with team members using just username.

Cons

Didn't liked the limitation of sharing only few projects with team after that requires paid purchase.

### "BitBucket is the best way to manage and collaborate on code in a self-hosted environment"

March 28, 2018

4.0

Easy collaboration on and management of large code bases for our software products, leading to an increase in productivity and a decrease in cost.

Pros

BitBucket (Server) makes collaborating on and managing code and any type of projects that requires usage of versioned files pretty easy. You can just spin it up on your own host and be good to go. No need to worry about cloud hosting, data protection laws, etc. Add to that the ease of general use and BitBucket Server is the best self-hosted VCS & collaboration system on the market.

Cons

BitBucket Server get's pretty RAM hungry the moment you start working on multiple large projects, which leads to either a slow system or obscene RAM usage (with associated costs) on your system. So if that's a concern to you, maybe go for their cloud-hosted option?

### "Best repository container for buisness"

July 18, 2018

5.0

Pros

It has lots of good feature like support for different kind of version control such as git, svn, mercurial. It has integration with JIRA so that we can create the branch as issue name which makes it easy to track the code change for each issue or bug. It also has integration with Bamboo a application building tool. Also, you can have as many as free private repository you want.

Cons

It is good for having the private repository. But it's web interface is not so good as compared to other like gitlab. UI is not much of interactive.
