Bitbucket Server, formerly known as Stash, is an essential tool for development teams seeking to streamline their coding cycle in a collaborative environment. It allows teams to take control of their projects and organize a portfolio of different products. Users find it easy to deploy and manage, whether on internal or managed infrastructure, on-premises or in the cloud. This provides peace of mind and equips developers with the necessary tools for development.
One of the key use cases for Bitbucket Server is version control within teams. It facilitates collaboration among cross-functional teams located in different time zones, ensuring everyone works on the same codebase. Development teams push their code to the Stash server, which undergoes review by the testing team before final approval. Upon approval, release engineering teams pull the code from the server and move it across various environments.
Stash seamlessly handles pull requests from JIRA issues into development and production branches, making it easy for teams to merge changes into the main codebase. It even supports builds for Java applications upon acceptance of a pull request into the development branch, further streamlining the development process. With its user-friendly UI and integration with JIRA, developers can effortlessly host code repositories, create and manage pull requests, and browse individual files and commits. Bitbucket Server serves as the primary version control system in many organizations, trusted by both operations and development teams.
Moreover, Bitbucket Server offers a centralized platform that improves collaboration among multiple teams and instills confidence in IT among internal clients. Each department retains control over specific sections of code repositories, ensuring clarity and ownership. The pull request process in Stash requires two approvers for every merge, ensuring code quality and minimizing errors.
Lastly, Bitbucket Server integrates seamlessly with other Atlassian products like Bamboo, JIRA, and Confluence for a streamlined continuous delivery and continuous integration CD/CI process. This integration enables development teams to work offline, commit changes, and collaborate effectively through pull requests. Bitbucket Server's versatility makes it the preferred solution for organizations facing limitations with other systems, such as branching issues.
Intuitive and User-Friendly Interface: Reviewers have consistently praised the product's intuitive and user-friendly interface, with many stating that it is easy to navigate and perform tasks quickly. This sentiment was shared by a majority of users. Easy Deployment and Platform Management: Users appreciated the product for its easy deployment process and efficient platform management capabilities. It provides a collaborative framework for the development cycle, which has been positively acknowledged by numerous reviewers. Seamless Integration with DevOps and ITSM Tools: The ability to integrate the product with different DevOps and ITSM tools has been highly valued by users. This feature allows for seamless workflow integration, as mentioned by several customers in their reviews.
-
Restricted centralized user management: Some users have expressed dissatisfaction with Bitbucket Server's limitations on centralized user management, stating that it is not ideal for their needs. They feel that the platform should offer more flexibility in managing user permissions and access.
-
Confusing technical issue resolution: Several reviewers have found it challenging to solve technical issues that arise from time to time, leading to confusion and frustration during troubleshooting. They would appreciate clearer documentation or better guidance within the platform to help them resolve these issues effectively.
-
Lack of direct folder download in Stash: Users have suggested that Stash should allow direct download of entire folders instead of having to navigate inside each folder to download individual files, as this would improve efficiency and ease of use. This feature enhancement would save users time and effort when they need to download multiple files located within the same folder structure.

(1-1 of 1)- Bitbucket is, as far as things go, good at being a version control system. In look and feel, it's very much like GitHub with regard to structure and browsing code.
- Bitbucket Server has quite a few integrations out of the box that make it pretty quick and not very painful to integrate other systems (Jenkins for example).
- When restoring from backup, Bitbucket Server does not re-enable plugins that were once enabled. This means anytime you rebuild you are left to either go with enabling all of them or disabling all of them and waiting for other downstream systems to break.
- Permissions on repositories and projects are not very straight forward. From a user interface perspective, it's a little unclear the first time how to lock down things like pushing to master for some but not others, how to all others to merge pull requests (thus pushing to master) as long as it's not their own change, etc.
- Reliability is a real problem with Bitbucket Server. Sometimes, for no apparent reason, it will just decide to stop working and require a full restart of the application (which takes a fair bit of time). Being the primary version control system, this means there are quite a few people unable to complete their work while these issues are resolved.
