About Bitbucket

Bitbucket is a collaborative Git solution that allows users to review codes with pull requests. Users can have discussions with coders in the source code with inline comments. The software provides a multi-deployment option as it can be hosted in the cloud or on-premise. Configuration as code enables developers to manage their own delivery workflows. Users can configure Bitbucket pipelines by adding a bitbucket-pipelines.yml file to the root of a repository. Bitbucket pipelines show build statuses automatically on branches, commits and pull requests. Branch permissions provide limited access controls to team members, so that only users with knowledge of editing codes can make changes to the code. Users can analyze the changes in repositories with unified or side-by-side views while reviewing codes. The solution integrates with other applications such as JIRA, Hipchat, Bamboo and Trello. Support is provided via an online forum, email and phone. Pricing is per user per month.

I wouldn't highly recommend it but it does have advantages if using Jira for project management.

Pros

It is deeply integrated with the Atlassian suite of tools which is convenient for using Jira alongside Bitbucket.

It is not as feature rich, significantly buggier and more difficult to use than its main competitors.

A tool that helps you with version control and makes your team collaborate.

We have all of our pipelines in Bitbucket – PRs gets merged to dev and when verified by the team, things do get pushed forward to production environments. We also handle our company website's code in Bitbucket so it is easy to pull the code to VSCode for editing.

Pros

Bitbucket holds everything you would need for a development team. Having code versioning and branches in Bitbucket makes things organised and professional. The lower tier Bitbucket is good bang for your bucks, but the premium holds for example privacy/security settings that you might consider using, especially if you are aiming for privacy/security certificates.

Cons

As quite often, Atlassian's products are somewhat hard to start with, but when you get to know their ways of thinking, everything is quite straight forward – and to be honest, their products are being developed with UX in mind these days.

Bitbucket is great but it has minor things I don't like

Pros

Bitbucket works nicely with other Atlassian tools like Jira and Confluence. Makes managing projects and CI/CD easier. It has built-in tools for code reviews, like inline comments and pull requests.

Cons

Bitbucket is sometimes slow in performance such s slow loading of pages. There are no revert features of the built-in tools. code once committed cannot be rolled back.

The Key to Seamless Development

Pros

When working on a new feature for our project, I created a pull request on Bitbucket. My team members were able to review the changes, leave comments directly on the code, and suggest improvements. This streamlined our collaboration process and ensured that the final code was of the highest quality before merging it into the main branch.

Cons

Its occasional slowness in loading larger repositories and navigating between branches.

Its ability to organize code and provide access to many different developers in different branches of development.

Sometimes confusing, but the readme files help explain it in a basic simple way. It is best if you have an experienced bitbucket user on your staff to answer some of the hard questions or use the help area online.

Bitbucket is a fantastic source for code management

We implemented Bitbucket in all offices around the world to manage the source code that was moved to Git, i.e. most of the code base, as we eliminated legacy version control systems such as CVS, SVN, Mercurial and Platinum. Bitbucket provides an interface that makes it much easier for developers working on the same code to collaborate: it allows you to view code in central repositories, observe the branching network, manage change requests, conduct code reviews, and connect external tools, such as Jenkins). thanks to its pinning mechanism. Bitbucket fulfills its primary role: hosting the company's Git repositories, as well as enabling the control of requests to incorporate changes and code reviews. It also has great potential for integration into a software company's ecosystem.

Pros

It is possible to add hooks and link specific actions through various add-ons. Jenkins is an add-on that allows you to set up a continuous integration system and participate in a Devops initiative. Bitbucket connects to HipChat. Pull requests can trigger warnings in HipChat rooms. It is possible to create a new subject line from a JIRA issue. This makes it easier for people accessing the JIRA issue to find the code.

Cons

The search engine function is reduced. It is believed to crawl repository names and descriptions, but does not search the code. It is necessary to set up a search engine from another site. When you try to log into a project or repository that you do not have access to, Bitbucket just gives you an error, but does not provide any way to notify the project/repository owner that you want access or know the owners name.

An alternative for the Atlassian environment

It was very easy to set up. I had the chance to propose this tool to my development team, and it helps and gets to its full potential if you are using other Atlassian tools.

Pros

What I liked the most about using Bitbucket was the possibility of interconnecting everything from JIRA and Confluence directly and seamlessly to my repositories. This helped my team not only to save time but also to keep track of everything happening around our development cycle in a way that felt natural.

Cons

The interface tries to differentiate from GitHub a lot, and sometimes it feels it is not something you need to innovate into; some things are just the way they are. I found the project->repository structure confusing, and navigating through them wasn't easy.

Alternatives Considered

GitHub

Reasons for Choosing Bitbucket

I wanted a workspace separated from my personal projects and a way to easily see, work on, and connect documents from Confluence and tasks from JIRA.

Its okay. Slow on the features. Integration/"pipes" are good.

It's not my first choice, but with some elbow grease it gets the job done. I like the integration with Jira. I would probably pick GitHub Actions or Circle CI if I could.

It works as a code repository. I am using it because it was grandfathered in. I do like the integration with Jira. I do like the integrations that are called "pipes".

When we are trying to add comment in a PR, there are two options, one is review and other is resolved. The review button is highlighted with blue color, which makes it attractive, but mostly people try to resolve the comments.

Bitbucket is awesome for developers and teams alike! One big plus is its support for Git repositories, making it super easy to manage code changes and collaborate effectively. With Bitbucket, you can branch out and experiment without worrying about messing up the main code, thanks to its nifty branching and merging features. Plus, it plays well with other tools like Jira and Trello, making project management a breeze. And hey, security is important too, and Bitbucket's got you covered with customizable access controls. It's basically a go-to platform for keeping your code organized, your team on track, and your projects running smoothly.

Cons

The Atlassian suite can be expensive if you aren't using the free versions.

Solid Git Hosting with Jira Integration

Bitbucket is great for Jira users and private repos but lacks GitHub’s ecosystem and speed.

Pros

Private repos with free pipelines. No cost for small teams.

Cons

I cannot say any cons for private repos and pipelines.

An application that has all the support and integration with Atlassian

I remember that I started with Bitbucket because to start with repositories, it offered me more than the others at zero cost.Then, after starting to work more intensely and manage projects, I opted for the Atlassian suite. I had already been using Trello for a long time and in another company I used Jira for incidents, and I also felt comfortable with these applications, so that I didn't change.

Pros

Probably the integration with the complete Atlassian suite is what attracts me the most, working with Jira, Trello, Confluence and being able to solve problems from a support or customer service common to all these applications, greatly influences the decision to work with Bitbucket.

Cons

Well, there are two clear competitors that take the majority of the repositories, but they are not mutually exclusive, you can use another of them, perhaps better in some aspects, while still taking advantage of the integration with the other applications.

Alternatives Considered

GitHub and GitLab

Reasons for Choosing Bitbucket

It hasn't been a complete change, but I use it more since it is integrated into the Atlassian suite.

Switched From

GitHub and GitLab

Reasons for Switching to Bitbucket

From what I mentioned before, initially it offered me more for free than the other options, and later when working with other Atlassian applications I felt very comfortable.

Once a good option but no longer

Seen more of Bitbucket from enterprises that made the tech choice 5 or more years ago. I would not recommend for a new set up.

Pros

Relative to other competitors, they use to offer more customisability options that might be necessary for enterprise.

Cons

Generally poor reliability and worse developer experience.

Top of the tops choice for version control

Positive experience, with BitBucket the development processes are more standardized and easy to implement and follow.

Pros

The integration with Jira is one of our favourite BitBucket features.
The UI is always clear and allows for full configuration of rules in order to approve the PR.
The branching model configuration is also easy and very user friendly.

Cons

When managing more workspaces the UI gives by default the latest viewed workspace, except for the personal workspaces.
This could be confusing at first but it's a minor issue an user can get used to.

Our developers love it

Pros

It's part of the Atlassian ecosystem and therefore the entry was very seamless.

Cons

It lacks granular security controls and policies that we might require.

Code Control Reimagined

Pros

I like how Bitbucket works with Jira. For example, making a new branch in Bitbucket creates a task in Jira. It helps us work smoother and stay organized.

Cons

I find Bitbucket can be slow at times, especially with large repositories. Also, some features could be more user-friendly.

Streamlined Collaboration and Effortless Version Control

Because of how integrated BitBucket is, it's not a great standalone solution. So if you're not in the market for a complete suite of project management tools, you might want to use something else.

Pros

Built-in CI/CD, tight integrations with the rest of the Atlassian suite, seamless collaboration features, and clean UI.

Cons

Vendor lock-in, occasional complexity in setting up advanced workflows and a steep learning curve for beginners.

Alternatives Considered

GitHub

Reasons for Switching to Bitbucket

The CI system at the time was one of the easiest and cheapest on the market.

Bitbucket completes Atlassian ecosystem

My overall experience is good, it integrates well with jira and my client likes it.

Pros

It completes all the DEVOPS Atlassian ecosystem, you have a option for server or sas version and you also have a API in order to implement a lot of extensions or inderactions with the repository.

Cons

It must implement stuff like Github and Gitlab in order to be more competitive.

Bitbucket works

It is a great versioning tool, it comes with a UI for users who are not so good with Git. It's a nice feature but I don't think it's necessary. Access control is a great feature too, it helps in boosting the security of the source code.

Pros

The most liked feature of Bitbucket is its integration with JIRA projects. It's easy for project managers to track the process of deployment, and for change management to check in with security on Pull requests.

Cons

The pipeline aspect of Bibtbucket is the least of my team's favorites. We believe that CurcleCI does a better job. It would be preferred if it's free like its counterpart, GitHub.
