### "Useful product, works well"

May 20, 2019

5.0

Overall I've found Bitbucket very useful. I haven't used the team features much, but what I have done seems good.

Pros

Bitbucket allows me to create a repository for code, so that I can back up, revert changes, and track progress. It does all of this efficiently and without too steep a learning curve for new users.

Cons

Occasionally I have merge conflicts in my repository, and it doesn't provide much help in terms of resolving those.

### "My take on Bitbucket"

November 19, 2018

4.0

I'm fairly satisfied with this product, any project that I believe to demand a more serious approach are usually directed to bitbucket.

Pros

Bitbucket's compromise with its user's privacy and the safekeeping of their source code. Also, its interface have a very serious and business like look.

Cons

Its interface one time or other have been less than intuitive, and it's charts (e.g. for tracking branches) have also been underwhelming.

### "Bitbucket reigns in the Git chaos"

February 16, 2018

5.0

Bitbucket is necessary to keep some control over Git, which is by definition a free and open world.

Pros

Several layers of security and protection. I am able to restrict users and groups of users from projects. I can also restrict access to past branches to read only. The layers of security means that senior programmers cna push their changes while junior programmers must submit a pull request to have a senior level person review their changes prior to being incorporated.

Cons

Git in and of itself can be hard for people to learn and adapt to -- especially the senior level people who grew up with the storage locker mentality towards source control.

### "Excellent tool for code revisions and version control"

March 25, 2020

4.0

Pros

Best tool for maintaining code versions and excellent for version control.

Cons

Sometimes version control doesn't work as expected. There is a limit per license which you can have on creating repositories.

### "Bitbucket: an alternative remote git repository"

June 10, 2020

4.0

I used Bitbucket as a remote git repository for many of my projects that involve groups. At first, it was a great product, it makes the collaboration among my team much easier when developing large software systems. However, I do not see a significant advantage of using Bitbucket instead of the most widely used alternative. I would expect more from Bitbucket to continuously use that.

Pros

Bitbucket has all the features offered by the most widely used remote git repositories and offers much more with free version compared to the alternative products.

Cons

The features are so similar to the alternative solution, and therefore this solution fails to produce a better experience compared to those alternatives. Thus cannot justify using Bitbucket instead of its competitors.

No significantly better advantages of using this product instead of its competitor.

### "One of the best options if you are looking for a private repository"

March 9, 2021

4.0

Recommended specially for enterprise and official repository management.

Pros

What I like the most about Bitbucket is that is has both public and private repositories. It also has JIRA integration which comes very handy if that's your team collaboration tool.

Cons

Need improvements to daily, weekly and monthly based statistics on merge requests , commits and other activities.

### "Good git server with a nice web interface"

December 28, 2018

4.0

Nice way to make sure your projects are backed up to the cloud without them being publicly visible on the internet, also provides a nice web interface for looking through commits, merging branches etc.

Pros

Very nice and nowadays very fast web interface Has pretty much all the features you would expect a git server to have Unlimited private and public repo's with a free account

Cons

Has had some layout bugs in the web interface in the past

### "BitBucket is great for private repositories"

January 25, 2020

5.0

Overall I thought BitBucket was good, but I find that there is competitive software out there that fits my use case better.

Pros

The biggest pro to BitBucket is that it offers unlimited personal repos, making it a great tool for having version control over all of your websites and code as a freelance developer.

Cons

The biggest con is that the free version only allows up to 5 users on a single repository making it not so good of a tool for a team environment.

### "Best version control tool for your source"

May 23, 2019

4.0

We need to use a source control tool as there are multiple members working on the same product from different locations. Since we were already using Jira as project management tool so using Bitbucket was a big positive.

Pros

Ability to create branches and merge branches. Integration with different tools like SVN, Jira etc. Access control for different users can be managed.

Cons

User Interface needs improvement. Viewing history and comparison between files can be more interactive.

### "Powerful"

December 9, 2019

5.0

It has been just easy to use and configure to our needs.

Pros

Bitbucket comes with a set of features that didn't exist in Github. One big example are the pipelines. Pipelines setup can be cumbersome, but not in Bitbucket. Just a configuration file with predefined templates can allow you to have a full CI/CD in 5 minutes top.

Cons

It's usage is more turned to private repository and it is sometimes hard to find more open source/public projects.

### "Best source control on the market."

May 15, 2018

5.0

Great for source control.

Pros

Easy to import source using GIT. Links to several other products for simple source control. We use Source Tree, which allows us to upload and download latest versions, do updates, sync files, etc.

Cons

There really aren't any Cons for this product. It works well with everything. I guess one con would be that the interface could use an upgrade. Old school looking.

### "Best versioning system"

September 29, 2019

5.0

Bitbucket is the best versioning system out there. Its easy to use and i use it to manage my web pages' changes i make on a daily basis and share with my team

Pros

The best thing about bitbucket is that it gives free services to a team of 5. It is easy to use and the changes can be committed to the cloud with a push of just one button. Similarly the updated changes can be pulled from the cloud also with just one click.

Cons

Sometimes handling the conflicts make it somewhat difficult to use this. The fast forward and real merge sometimes make a mess and it does not handle it very good so it must be done manually.

### "Decent enough options but with the Atlassian package would work better"

March 26, 2018

3.0

Pros

Being a part of the Atlassian lifecycle of product development it works great in integration with the JIRA, Bamboo and Confluence pipelines setup. Its easy to setup and run with these host of tools.

Cons

Other alternatives provide a better and seamless Repository experience with clear detailed and concise ways to work with the repository code.

### "It's a good option for git"

November 29, 2018

5.0

I used Bitbucket several times on my software projects along with my professional career, and I really liked it. Never had problems with it.

Pros

On Bitbucket, is possible to create private teams and project. The possibility on add server keys on bitbucket is a differential that I have not yet found on others git solutions.

Cons

Sometimes, Bitbucket seems to be not that dynamic as other git solutions. Too many things on the dashboards, adding complexing kinds of stuff on screens that don't need. Maybe add some extra views with advanced settings is a good thing to do.

### "Best solution for private repositories"

February 2, 2019

5.0

Using Bitbucket as work tool for years

Pros

Bitbucket is a must in our daily work, with its infinite private repositories and no storage limit. It also includes some features as issue tracking and simple builds! The recent updates have improved a lot in the UI

Cons

Bitbucket still is a bit hard to use in a more complex system, as anything from Atlassian. The companion app, SourceTree, is garbage and it's not improving with time...

### "Good for small projects"

February 23, 2020

4.0

It is really great for small businesses and projects. The only issues is there are glitches with its server sometimes.

Pros

Paid options has really good features like multiple collaborations as compared to other companies. Free tier option is great too for private projects as well.

Cons

The server is really slow, push and pull takes forever sometimes, and there is this random glitch where the project hides for several minutes and reappears again.

### "A powerful collaborative repository tool"

January 7, 2020

5.0

I would recommend using Bitbucket to orgs that use other tools from Atlassian.

Pros

The ease to add users from a team is outstanding, spinning off a new repository is very easy to do with Bitbucket. Another great feature is the integration with other Atlassian tools like Jira.

Cons

The cost can be steep if you need add-ins or integrations with other tools. Some tools may not have an integration and you will need to develop one yourself.

### "Review about Bitbucket"

September 16, 2019

4.0

I used it in my internship project and it is an very flexible and efficient version control system for developers.

Pros

It is a very flexible version control system and it provide collaborative code review and integrated issue tracker.

Cons

It is fully free for small teams. But it costly to the businesses which have big teams. We need to pay for additional team members.

### "Bitbucket, a great tool to control software versions"

December 4, 2022

5.0

Each of the programmers stored their piece of software and then we put the pieces together via FTP. Sometimes we inadvertently overwrote partner code. With Bitbucket we can control the different versions and changes in the code

Pros

It allows the whole team to work on the same project creating new versions of software

Cons

In our day-to-day use we have not found anything missing. It offers us the same options as git
