"The setup of Bitbucket is simple."
"This is a very dependable product that is easy to use and it has an excellent GUI interface."
"Bitbucket is significantly cheaper compared to GitHub and it provides on-premises hosting."
"Bitbucket is feasible and friendly compared to Visual Studio DevOps on the Microsoft platform."
"Git is Bitbucket's most valuable feature."
"Its key strength lies in securing and centralizing code repositories."
"Bitbucket is a standard source code repository with all the features you would expect. It supports Git and SVN. It's an extensive tool that provides us with merging, branching, and change management capabilities. You can compare the changes with the current and previous versions."
"The version control feature for our code and the security aspect is valuable to us."
"Its standout features are the seamless integration with various intelligent tools and its user-friendly nature."
"In terms of benefits, I feel that many companies are moving to Bitbucket Server since it can be deployed on an on-premises model at a time when everything is being moved to the cloud."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is server management."
"It is an easily scalable solution."
"Integration of Bitbucket with JIRA & Bamboo is well done by Atlassian."
"The product is easy to maintain."
"I believe it's user-friendly for our developers, and it's effective in terms of traceability for tracking our actions."
"The initial setup is straightforward. It takes half an hour to deploy."
"In future releases, more integration is always a valuable aspect to consider."
"It goes well with other Atlassian solutions like Jira or Bamboo, but integration with other third-party solutions is more complex."
"Bitbucket could improve search and indexing capabilities. There is only basic searching available. There is only the ability to index the main branch but not the subbranches. The search capabilities are dodgy."
"Bitbucket could improve pipeline building and deployment. Our deployments are not using the Bitbucket. Deployments we are going through Azure DevOps, but the integration is happening in Bitbucket."
"The product could be less expensive for small companies."
"One of the areas the solution could improve on is when there is a merging conflict it is quite confusing. When I am having a merging conflict I get stuck on the page, then I need to search how to handle the particular problem. For example, finding what the commands are which can be used."
"There could be more AI features included in the product."
"Currently, what's lacking in Bitbucket is the assignment feature."
"At the moment, there are not many details on how to proceed with the troubleshooting if one of the users faces an issue with the product."
"Bitbucket Server can experience performance issues when pushing a large amount of code. This process may take a considerable amount of time."
"The product interface consists of multiple features that are complicated to navigate for new users."
"If I want to mail someone a master branch, then sometimes it shows some conflict with other codes in the master branch."
"Some of the capabilities that I am looking for from a command line are not really available."
"Bitbucket Server has limited user support for its free version. It is expensive."
"The product requires patching and version improvements. Some functions do not work properly when we move from one version to another. We need a technical improvement. Also, communicating with other Atlassian products becomes cumbersome when we move from one version to another. I want Bitbucket Server to include a dashboard similar to Jira's. Atlassian must also develop a tool to scan our complete base for vulnerabilities."
"We opted for the on-premises solution, and while it's quite expensive, I believe there's room for improvement in terms of pricing."
