"The effective solution for all team."
What do you like best about Bitbucket?

I like the way of distributed release monitor system that makes it simple for us to cooperate with our working team. Always have unbroken access to the data center. The freedom to use our productivity quicker and from anywhere in the world. Wonderful tools to learn about.

What do you dislike about Bitbucket?

Very good opportunity to manage all working steps which are really very easy and doesn't bring any bad issues. I don't have any ideas what you can to change on this software as I know that this program completely suits me.

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

Definitely, we completely enjoy with our working tool. We guess that we found the key to valid work which will help us to operate for results. Also, we have the opportunity to work with the big amount of our documents and we can store all of them in a very large memory place which is really very helpful for all of the team.

"Excellent Version Control System For Businesses"
What do you like best about Bitbucket?

Not only is this solution to version control cheap, but it is excellent. This system can be based off of git or mercurial which is a huge plus to developers who are used to either of those systems. The price is either cheap or free depending on how you use the system which is a huge selling point to businesses like ours. It also has features such as an API that you can integrate into your projects.

What do you dislike about Bitbucket?

The only dislike is that the GUI client that is available for download is a bit confusing. If you aren't familiar with git based systems and using CLI then this can be quite confusing.

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

We are using Bitbucket as a means of version control. We have realized that Bitbucket has much better features compared to other free systems such as Subversion.

"Source code management through Bitbucket"
What do you like best about Bitbucket?

Bitbucket is source code management tool where organizations can create projects and repositories where developers can store their code. Bitbucket is based on Git. It has default branch master and for parallel development users can create n number of branches and through Bitbucket branches can be managed easily. Pull request can be done on the UI and can be set reviewer for code review before merging to master branch and these pull request can be rejected or approved based on the code quality checks. Bitbucket can be integrated with Jenkins through webhooks where jobs can be triggered once code is pushed to Bitbucket Bitbucket server can be installed on cloud with cloud formation templates with less effort of using amazon services. Bitbucket data center supports Bitbucket mirroring through which user in different geo graphical location can access Bitbucket without latency. And projects can be mirrored to the different regions based on the project teams. Role based access through LDAP , groups can be synchronized through Active Directory and these groups can be given restricted access to required projects based on project management. User and groups cab be given Read, Write or Admin access. Admin can add or delete the repositories to project where as write can read and add filed to Bitbucket. Read access is only to read the repository Bitbucket also allows to access to HTTPS and SSH protocol. Every user can be able to add SSH keys to user profile and access without password One can easily protect their branches from direct commits /pushes through Bitbucket branch permissions. Easily restrict set reviewers for every branch. And Bitbucket notifies users for every pull request , for every push to the repository so that every user will get to know the things happening to its own repository One an fork their repository and will be able to get changes automatically through this feature.

What do you dislike about Bitbucket?

Browsing back to other projects is not possible directly from Bitbucket UI. One has to go back to main Projects and then navigate to required project

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

It easy for developers, testers and architects to see the code changes and who made the changes It is easy to get the history of the changes One can easily blame the changes done on one file Pull request made easy way of merging branches Reviewers can do code review before merging on UI Architects can Merge the branch or reject if code doesn't meet the quality

"Bitbucket is an Excellent Source Control, Team Development cloud platform"
What do you like best about Bitbucket?

We have been using BitBucket for several years and we love that we can manage our source code on the cloud and develop as a team effectively. BitBucket supports Git and we feel that Git is the best Source Code control platform available today. As a Cloud platform, the cost is reasonable and clear. The user interface is clean and understandable. The integrations work well with PM tools and messaging like Slack. The user permissions and management is nice as well. If you allow each user to Fork and create their own repository, you can lock down who has the ability to commit to the main repository while giving them all the access they need to effectively develop. The keeps the main repository clean and enforces code review. I love the audit trail, the ability to compare commits and older file versions to other file version to track down specific changes. Last year, they added the ability to group related repositories into "Projects" which is very useful to quickly identify related repositories.

What do you dislike about Bitbucket?

Recently BitBucket redesigned their web site. Some of the key functionality is a little more hidden that it was before. Honestly, there isn't too much to dislike. There are some issues with very large file support that have been slow to be resolved, but we haven't experienced this issue.

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

BitBucket is a key component in our CI/CD infrastructure. It is easy to connect to build and deploy tools and services. Our development process is so much cleaner, more maintainable, and more predictable. BitBucket allows developers, designers, and PMs better exposure to the state of the code base and progress as tasks are completed towards releases.

"Bitbucket: A Great Version Control Repository for Scrum Teams"
What do you like best about Bitbucket?

Bitbucket allows me to monitor any Pull requests that might be stuck in review to ensure that they're being pushed along.

What do you dislike about Bitbucket?

I am happy with bitbucket. there is nothing I don't like.

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

Bitbucket helps my Scrum team be more cross-functional. we lack a designated QA tester so Bitbucket allows us to easily find and review another's pull requests. By using Bitbucket my team is able to run more efficiently.

"For personal and professional use, Bitbucket is great"
What do you like best about Bitbucket?

History view, branching diagrams, comments on commits (on top of the normal git comment). Integration with Jira. Source view is also good for looking at the codebase. Pull request tool is nice as well.

What do you dislike about Bitbucket?

Searching is not intuitive sometimes. And sometimes I doubt it has searched how I expected it to.

It's where we host our codebase and we handle code reviews through it. It's very quick to push and pull from Bitbucket and it rarely ever seems down.

"Bitbucket is the best source control tool out there."
What do you like best about Bitbucket?

Bitbucket easily integrates (obviously) with the full Atlassian suite. Since we use the full suite at our company, this is key. Using it with Sourcetree is amazingly easy, and makes it perfect for integrations with our entire team. It's easy to branch, merge, and for other to do code reviews.

What do you dislike about Bitbucket?

The UI sometimes leaves a little to be desired. Some areas are not as user friendly as they let on. There are a couple of areas where you click a button, expect a result, and something entirely different happens, or just plain errors out.

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

Source control. The full integration is essential when using Jira/Confluence/Bamboo. Code reviews, branching/merging, code integrity.

"Free and Private Code Storage"
What do you like best about Bitbucket?

Bitbucket is completely free for its basic plan, which contains enough features and functionality to serve most teams. Additionally, the repositories are private which a lot of other cloud version control systems don't offer. Atlassian is constantly improving the software with user interface improvements. It integrates seamlessly with SourceTree (desktop Git client). The cloud-hosted web application makes it easy to get started with version control systems - no previous experience required nor does it need any complicated setup on a server. It support connections over HTTPS as well as SSL. I like the ability to edit code directly through the Bitbucket web application if I have something minor to correct.

What do you dislike about Bitbucket?

Somewhat difficult to put an existing project into a repository on Bitbucket. You have to clone a new repository into an empty directory first, then move your project into that directory. The SourceTree app that goes along with this can be slow at times and crashes occasionally. However Atlassian releases regular updates to BitBucket and SourceTree.

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

Working on team projects with others in my organization. Easy to share code with clients for review or modifications. Paired with the desktop Git client SourceTree it is very easy to use, especially for people new to working in a team environment with version control systems.

What do you dislike about Bitbucket?

New branches do not appear in the Pull Request autocomplete drop down for about a minute so after pushing my branch I have to wait a minute to create a pull request.

"Alternative to GitHub, option of private repos for free"
What do you like best about Bitbucket?

I have to admit that the main reason I use bitbucket is the ability to host my private git repos for free. Even though the limitation of maximum 5 users per private repo, it is very attractive if you work alone or in small teams. The integration with Sourcetree is also very nice.

What do you dislike about Bitbucket?

Not really big complains about the service.

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

Git repositories storage and serving in the cloud. The main benefit is the ability to have private repos without paying, as is the case in github.

"A scalable and fair platform"
What do you like best about Bitbucket?

All Bitbucket features are fantastic, speed, stability, delivery guarantee and user-friendly interface. There is nothing that can be pointed out as demerit, mainly because the platform receives constant updates. In the last 10 months I've migrated to other Git versioning services, but after an experience on those beaches I used Bitbucket again to do some testing - what was the surprise of seeing that the platform is better and many of the things I missed are there now. The best? The price remains fair and scalable according to the size of your team or company.

What do you dislike about Bitbucket?

The only thing that needs improvement, but not a serious problem, is the mapping of projects through issues, simulate to other platforms. However, it has an integration with Jira and Trello that already solves this problem - just adapt your worflow and "voi a lá", solved the "problem".

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

Five years ago I needed to use a cloud service to store my repositories. Bitbucket was ideal for the malleable features of my projects and became my only repository for the teams I worked for. For a growing company, it was a smart way out, because it allowed me to scale between teams without major problems.

"Bitbucket"
What do you like best about Bitbucket?

Bit bucket allows us to maintain version control on all of our repos. It integrates pretty well with all of our services ( CI tools, slack, build systems, et cetra)

What do you dislike about Bitbucket?

The UI is not the most intuitive. Most people use the free version of Github which is a very different UI and the pull request system is a bit different.

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

We are using it to do version control on everything we build. We do also use it for version control on documentation.
