"Useful"
What do you like best about Bitbucket?

I prefer using GitHub instead of BitBucket. But anyway it is ease to use it and you can do as much things you can do in GitHub.

What do you dislike about Bitbucket?

I dislike that it doesn't have Travis integration.

What problems is Bitbucket solving and how is that benefiting you?

It solves the issue to have saved all the code of your project. The best benefit is that you have your code in a place centralized.

"Awesome for an awesome price... free!"
What do you like best about Bitbucket?

Free private repos. I think this is one of the feature that makes BitBucket stand out from GitHub.

What do you dislike about Bitbucket?

I HATE HATE HATE the fact that BitBucket shows out of group users when tagging people, even in a private repo. Not sure their reasoning behind this. It makes no sense to tag outside people in a private repo.

What problems is Bitbucket solving and how is that benefiting you?

Bitbucket helps the development team control changes and feature releases.

"Good Git-based version control platform, but I prefer Github"
What do you like best about Bitbucket?

Great integrations with Jira and other Atlassian products.

What do you dislike about Bitbucket?

The pipleine CI/CD automation services are not as robust as the offerings contained within other version control platforms (e.g. Github).

What problems is Bitbucket solving and how is that benefiting you?

Used it for version control across all services within a service oriented architecture (20-30 repos). It hosted our remote git repositories providing access to all members across our team.

"Usable but far from perfect"
What do you like best about Bitbucket?

Well, it allows to perform basic git functions - create pull requests, make code reviews, browse code, continuous integration which are quite usual for modern git hostings

What do you dislike about Bitbucket?

Big pull requests are hard to review as the code is folded and you have to manually unfold it, recently we observed a few crashes and sometimes it becomes pretty slow; some functions are named confusingly for no reason, like git's "blame" was renamed to "annotate", which is far from obvious

What problems is Bitbucket solving and how is that benefiting you?

we're using bitbucket, as everybody does, to store the code, perform code reviews, check build stability and track history of the changes

"Bit Bucket Pipelines"
What do you like best about Bitbucket?

I was able to use bit bucket pipelines to run tests periodically on my live website - It would email me if any failed.

What do you dislike about Bitbucket?

The pipelines cannot be ran more than once every ten minutes

What problems is Bitbucket solving and how is that benefiting you?

Testing a live website using headless chrome and node

"Bitbucket is a decent choice if you're already roped into the Atlassian Stack"
What do you like best about Bitbucket?

Bitbucket integrates well with Jira and Confluence if you're using them. It's nice to be able to jump between the requirement within the wiki, the logged issue, and the exact commit(s) that address that same issue. I'm also particularly fond of the commit graph visualization. I find it useful to track various branches.

What do you dislike about Bitbucket?

At the end of the day, I just prefer the workflow and UI of Github. There's nothing wrong with Bitbucket, it just doesn't feel as intuitive or fluid to use. It's the best choice if you're already using Atlassian products, but I don't feel a huge desire to use Bitbucket otherwise.

What problems is Bitbucket solving and how is that benefiting you?

It solves the same problems that any version control system would solve. We host various different repositories and use Bitbucket to manage the projects.

"Cost Effective but limiting"
What do you like best about Bitbucket?

I like that BitBucket allows us to have git repos with branching features and allows developers on a team to work on large projects with multiple developers working on it.

What do you dislike about Bitbucket?

There is a lack of a search repo function which I think is a very critical feature for a product such as this.

What problems is Bitbucket solving and how is that benefiting you?

We are saving money because BitBucket allows users to have private repositories for free, compared to some of their competitors, that is a good deal. For a business it saves a lot of money and is very practical.

"Standard Corporate Alternative to Github"
What do you like best about Bitbucket?

Integration with other Atlassian Products (Confluence and JIRA) because it better helps me track work and interface with stakeholder and administrators all in one place.

What do you dislike about Bitbucket?

The UI and views on various pages aren't rich or flexible. For example, the home screen only shows the README. You can't directly edit code for small changes during code review.

What problems is Bitbucket solving and how is that benefiting you?

I am solving analytical challenges concerning product mix, inventory, and customer management with data products (Reproducible Research Papers, Data Apps, APIs). This has increased data transparency and changed business processes to increase both top line and bottom line of company financials.

"Is good overall, but sometimes messes things up"
What do you like best about Bitbucket?

It is easy to use and simple, you can set up pipelines and PR templates to ensure everything will work after a merge.

What do you dislike about Bitbucket?

On big PRs it sometimes takes too much time to load, and sometimes messes up the diff view.

What problems is Bitbucket solving and how is that benefiting you?

Version control for software applications and peer code review.

"I used it for my internship. It was more professional platform and has great editing tools."
What do you like best about Bitbucket?

I like the visual features to create maps

What do you dislike about Bitbucket?

Different login screens each time. I wish it were all under the same website.

What problems is Bitbucket solving and how is that benefiting you?

I used it a lot for xml file searching. It was helpful but some of the search functions were disorganized.

"Features are limited for a version control and service being interrupted frequently"
What do you like best about Bitbucket?

Overview of commit history is better since it shows all branches and commits history of branches in-between

What do you dislike about Bitbucket?

No Blame option in web application and very limited functionality on web application compared to git hub and Azure dev-ops platforms. Frequently encountered issues very recently two times only for the last month. Its very disappointing that whenever an incident happens we are unable to push or pull from the platform.

What problems is Bitbucket solving and how is that benefiting you?

Used as version control client. Limited benefits compared to other vendors.

What problems is Bitbucket solving and how is that benefiting you?

updating code to the master branch and pulling the lasted code to the Local machine & while merging the code to master branch if there are any Obstacles and bit bucket will provide how to resolve the Obstacles

"good but needs heavy improvement"
What do you like best about Bitbucket?

ease of integration with other atlassian tools. its easy to connect all bitbucket jira confluence and have the full suite with all you need

What do you dislike about Bitbucket?

bitbucket is ok but the sourcetree that comes along is bad. you cant merge changes and the view of the branches is not adequate. most colleagues use git extensions instead of the sourcetree. personally i do the merges through intellij but i should have been able to do it through sourcetree

What problems is Bitbucket solving and how is that benefiting you?

its a source control based on git , its an alternative to svn (e.g. tortoise ) and team foundation (microsoft)

"A good alternative to Github for small teams"
What do you like best about Bitbucket?

The pricing model allows for infinite private repositories. That makes it a perfect tool for a single developer or a small team.

What do you dislike about Bitbucket?

I am maybe too accustomed to the Github interface, but I find bitbucket's UI to be less polished, worse finished and even uglier.

What problems is Bitbucket solving and how is that benefiting you?

I use Bitbucket as a single developer to store and version control any private project I may have without usage limits for free.

"A good service, but suffers from network effect"
What do you like best about Bitbucket?

They are much cheaper than github. Free for teams less than 5 people, $10/month for teams of 10-24, $25 for 25+, etc. This is probably their biggest advantage over GitHub.

What do you dislike about Bitbucket?

Nobody uses Bitbucket, so it's hard to share with other people who don't already have accounts. For open source code, GitHub is the way to go because of their larger userbase.

What problems is Bitbucket solving and how is that benefiting you?

Hosting code. Bitbucket provides a central place to collaborate on code with coworkers.

"review process"
What do you like best about Bitbucket?

The right choice boils down to a number of factors -- you might even consider using both, but bitbucket has the best system design, speed

What do you dislike about Bitbucket?

We had been using Subversion, so we were out of luck for both GitHub and Bitbucket. It's really different but also not popular enough among friends.

Insight into my and other teams' repositories.

What do you dislike about Bitbucket?

It could be so much more, but it's not. It's definitely not worth the cost.

What problems is Bitbucket solving and how is that benefiting you?

One place to see work from all of the teams.
