Compare Bitbucket with other popular tools in the same category.
1. It is free for a team of up to 5 members with unlimited private repositories 2. Easy integration with highly useful add-ons for example codedeploy, codeanywhere etc 3. When it comes to usage of it, it's highly flexible and can be used in several ways as per your needs. You can use it's web based client or on windows it has got wonderful integration with Source tree or if you want to go with command line based git actions, works well on ubuntu as well. 4. Very easy to use, even for some one who doesn't understand too much of command lined based stuff. 5. Easy interface/integration with other Atlassian applications like JIRA, Sorce tree etc
Bitbucket has not got anything that makes me dislike it
As we're start up, we don't have proper well settled IT team which can help us in revision control system. Engineers have to help themselves in this regard. That's where Bitbucket pitched in like a diamond.
It's easy to use and full featured without being expensive. I love the pull-request management that works great for simple code-reviews. We're a small team but growing and it's allowing me to maintain control of our code-base easily without adding a ton of extra work. It enforces our process with just a few settings in the application.
I wish the code review support was a bit more extensive - we use UpSource for reviewing big changes because that interface is better with lots of files and multiple people commenting. I hope that this is improved in the new release of 4.8.
We're managing our GIT repository with a graphical interface that is easier for everyone to use & visualize. The quick code review - merge functionality make my job as lead easier. I can easily examine every merge and catch issues before they get too far.
Price price price! Which is consistent with all of the Atlassian products. Also, the integrations with the rest of their suite of tools is fantastic - JIRA, Bamboo, etc, in this case. Every development team needs to use version control...we use git, but Bitbucket also supports Mercurial. Unless you have some rigid security requirements, I recommend the Cloud solution so you don't have to worry about setting up and hosting yourself.
1 thing - not being able to search your source code. This is actually a HUGE bummer, and has been a feature request for years with them. They have only recently (March 2016) started to get this going, but i believe it's only for the self-hosted installations....THOUGH, on their forums, they have said it's "coming soon" for the Cloud solution. Once this is up and running, i would not be able to say a single bad thing about Bitbucket.
Using the cloud version of Bitbucket has allowed us to not have to worry about hosting/maintaining additional servers in our infrastructure, which saves us a lot of time (and money, really).
Bitbucket integrates very well with JIRA, a popular project and issue-managing app. Pull requests and code reviews Branch comparison and commit history Bitbucket Mac and Windows client called SourceTree; Android app called BitBeaker Integration with tools like Jira, Crucible, Bamboo, Jenkins
It's not very easy to learn the teams and repositories UI is a mess, and tends to confuse people.
We use BitBucket as our code repository for Git and also our CI service pulls from BitBucket to push into our web server directly, in order to update our testing websites or applications
BitBucket offers a lot for free. You get free unlimited private repositories which is great. They also offer their service for free for smaller teams. Larger teams cost a bit though, but since I'm only involved in very small teams that not a problem for me.
Not much really, I think it's a great service. What I miss though is a quick way to download or backup all of your repositories at once. If you have over 100 repositories it could be very convenient with a "download all" button.
I no longer have to maintain all my customers git repositories. I can just setup a BitBucket account for them and teach them how to use and all is well. I also use BitBucket for my own repositories, but personal and for my two businesses.
BitBucket provides an amazing number of functionality to manage multiple repositories like no other service.
At present, we are totally happy with the service so nothing to complain I'm afraid
We expect to build thousands of Singe Page Applications for UnifiedVU Platform. Each App has a lifecycle and require management. BitBucket provides us unlimited repositories to manage each of these apps.
It is a very comprehensive tool, also offers a lot of integrated tools, like bugs control, a nice dashboard where you can see your projects and teams. Also, the best characteristic of Bitbucket, is that it let have private repositories without paid for them.
I think what I dislike of Bitbucket is that at first, it looks like a lot of things in a same place. So it takes some time to learn how to use it properly. Also, the part when they show you the teams and repositories is a mess, and tends to confuse people. Another thing, is that they want to charge for any extra tool that you want to use
We work with a lot of software proyects, and a some of that projects have to be private, in order to preserv the code of the company. Bitbucket helps you with this, providing private repositories. That offers you security and trust in the company
Secure , on Cloud code hosting solution. Access Managment is easy and effecient API support exists and can connect with All Atlassians' products and many other none Atlassians' products They keeps improving the product with new fatures and bugfixes with strong public issue tracking board which enable us to dicsuss required features with the development and business teams. Downtime is nearly doesn't exist , you find it whenever you need it
The issue tracking feature is very limited , they try to push you to purchase JIRA The product was missing multible repositories per project feature for a long time but it's now availabe
Code hosting WiKi Issue tracking Code reviews
1. Free private repositories 2. Commit from web GUI. 3. The syntax highlighting 4. The great integration with all of Atlassian's products
Sometime server got down. That's really painful.
I am usually using bitbucket for personal projects and commercial too.
I have used many competitors such as Assembla and Github and what I really enjoy here is: * Value - the cost is very low * Integrations - they have several integrations which we use daily for our continuous integrations, etc * Code reviews - I find the code reviews and other user interface features great
Lately there has been a string of continual issues such as degraded performance, service outages, etc.
We are writing and maintaining the flagship software for our business. This service has sped up our ability to quickly review code, have dialogs about design issues, and monitor team progress.
While being able to replicate all of Github's major features, Bitbucket also let's you keep an unlimited number of private repositories.
Bitbucket isn't as flashy or 'consumer-facing' as Github is.
Version control. Bitbucket allows my business to host private git repositories without worrying about breaking the bank.
- Free private repositories - The great integration with all of Atlassian's products ( Bamboo, Jira, Bamboo, etc. ) - The inline discussions - The support for LFS - The syntax highlighting
- Sometimes, bitbucket.org won't load (I guess there's too much load) - At times, the pages on the website are loading painfully slow - The user interface could use a few improvements - I don't like the fact that whenever I browse through the repositories, instead of first seeing the files, the source code. First time after clicking the project I am seeing a dashboard with the readme file (or a warning if it's missing). - Sometimes, the cloning of repositories can be really slow. - Sometimes, when pulling, pushing or cloning from a repository, their server do not respond as expected (Time-outs, unreachable, etc.)
- I am usually using bitbucket for personal projects, with a non-commercial nature, or when, on commercial projects, I am in great need of integration with an Atlassian product. - The main problem I am solving with bitbucket is keeping non-production-ready code private until it is ready for prime time. It's also a great way to keep personal code containing sensitive data (API Keys) private.
The free private repo feature is definitely the most useful feature for personal repos or projects you don't want to open up right away.
It's not as prevalent as Github so you may be passing up contributers choosing to host here rather Github.
Free private hosting makes it useful for small projects and code sharing internally.
Bitbucket is a fantastic product that gives users the same type of functionality that is offered by Github. This is an Atlassian product, which provides a number of more advanced tools in their suite of software. I've used BitBucket on the free tier, both in personal and professional use. The biggest advantage and reason I first started using BitBucket was the ability to create and store up to 10 private repositories for free. Github provides free public repositories, but does not offer any free tier for private repos.
As a free, private and public place for my git repositories, BitBucket has exceeded my expectations. I do not dislike anything about this product since it meets all of my requirements. I guess it would be nice to have an unlimited number of private repos, but I understand that the company needs to put a limit on these things or some users might end up abusing the system.
From a professional standpoint, I have been using BitBucket to quickly share some prototype or sample code with fellow coworkers. We use the paid solution offered by Atlassian for our main project repositories (FishEye) but BitBucket has come in very handy for quick code sharing and collaboration. I also use BitBucket from a personal standpoint to upload my own projects and code. I am able to create private repos to upload code which acts as a great backup and way to develop projects on multiple devices.
Seeing quick overview of commits and branches. Ability to add deploy hooks and link my single account to accounts of the organisations I have worked for.
Not an awful lot. The service does exactly what I need it to and I have not yet found a situation where I couldn't do what I needed.
Code storage and sharing. Deploying of code to servers (staging and live).
the ease of scaling up and down is a big help
searching the wiki feature is a bit of an art
using bitbucket as a startup
Unlimited private repos, additional plugins support, mercurial/git support, integration with other atlassian services.
UI a little bit complicated, there is no way to edit something in web UI.
Source control for my projects.
free to host private project with git. easy to move from github to bitbucket.
the issue tracker is terrible, even is worse than github.
host project for startup for free.
The business model behind BitBucket certainly helps small companies with small development groups: compared to other systems, Atlassian focuses on charging the users with a price only for bigger teams, while smaller ones gets the software for free, with unlimited repositories available right away.
BitBucket is great at what it does, but it is not as complete as GitHub: you will most probably need to purchase other softwares to efficiently keep track of the bugs, perform code reviews and so on. It is surely a business model, but it makes the software feeling incomplete. It's a great tools, and I would suggest to use it if you need a private git repository
In almost every company in which I have been, BitBucket was the choice for the Android team: we usually are in small teams with a lot of repos, so that BitBucket provides the best solution for free, helping us with the versioning and the integrations (the Slack one is certainly one of those I love the most).
Ability to collaborate online with remote development team. Ability to use external tool for source control. We use external tool (Tortouse)to to a source tracking which users like better than SourceTree, but other than that it's gret system.
Management ob multiple branches can get complicated. Built in issue tracking tool is overly simplistic. The documentation can use the the improvement from how-to perspective. Some of the users used only Source Safe before and translation to the system with multiple branches takes some time to get used to. It would be great if the documentation would explain it better.
Our development team is split between USA and Lithuania and using bitbucket we are effectively managing the code base for the projects.
Integration with JIRA and Confluence and all the familiar features of a hosted GIT service. I enjoy working with the sleek UI and code navigation. It's also extremely powerful to see commits associated with tasks in our development sprints. I prefer to use Atlassians SourceTree with Bitbucket. Bitbucket also has a great issue tracker and built in wiki, but we use JIRA and confluence.
GitHub has a larger community and offers greater exposure.
Source code control, Code Diffing
The ease of use and setup of the software is what I liked the best. We had it up & running in just a matter of hours, with full customization. All of our team was up & running in just a matter of days where we had very few questions on software.
There could be more video tutorials on the product. Things like "how-to" digestable nuggets of information where 2-3 minutes later you have your answer.
Enterprise internally based solution like GitHub but not GitHub with integration of Jira. The Stash product helps us with all of that.
It is free for limited number of private repositories. It works really reliably. Never had an issue with server being down. I also like issues page.
I like git in general. So there is not much to dislike. It does the job.
Hosting various code repositories for different products
Bitbucket is a very user friendly especially for beginners who do not have much experience with source code management systems. It allows users to create private repository which is generally a paid service on github. Easy to follow steps are provided when setting up a new repo. Really great for beginners.
So far I have not found any feature that bothered me.
I have used bitbucket for many of my projects for source control and mostly because it offers private repo which are only visible to contributors.
Cost of uses is low. It supports git over ssh. I can create group to organize my repos. It has a nice interface. It integrates with slack.
Nothing really, I think bitbucket is my favorite one.
Personal backup of my projects. Collaboration with friends on part time projects. Very easy to achieve what I do.
Stash is really easy to setup and use. For a company that wants to do an internal Bitbucket or Github style workflow, its hard to beat.
The backup solution is not quite up to snuff in the version of Stash we have installed.
We increased our developer satisfaction and speed of development by moving to a pull request based model instead of more formal code reviews.
Personally, my favorite thing about bit bucket is that you can manage and view all projects that you may be involved on from one account. You can access your professional as well as your personal source bases from one simple location. In short, bitbucket allows you to focus on development, while leaving the administrative tasks, like assigning team members and access rights, to the product. The price is right as well at $0 for individuals and small teams, which you can continue to build out for free by referring new users.

I love the price a whopping zero dollars! Also it is so easy to setup and integrate with your IDE of choice. I use subversioning on all my code projects now.

I like its built-in CI/CD tool that enables you to build,test and deploy directly from within bitbucket.
According to me, customer service should be improved.
Bitbucket allows me to store my code in cloud based git repositry where i can track changes, review and merge pull requess and automate testing and deployment.
The Pull Request with review system. It help to see commit by commit what have been done and understand correctly what the dev have in mind while coding.
Sometime on the homepage, in the "Recent repositories" view there is a bug and i only see 1 project so to jump from one project to the next i have to use the search.
Pull request review and environment versionning with pipelines.
