Overall Satisfaction with Bitbucket
My department uses Bitbucket as a code repository for our eCommerce site. It is used exclusively by our Information Technology department within the company. This product allows my team to share code, merge code objects that were worked on by various developers, and even view the history of the code objects. It also integrates very well with Jira which makes collaboration even easier.
- It integrates seamlessly with Jira allowing code repositories to be linked directly to projects / issues.
- It merges code allowing for team collaboration.
- The user community is not as vast as other Git products such as GitHub.
- The UI could use some updating / improvements.
- Bitbucket has helped our team collaborate on projects allowing them to work more cohesively.
- Licensing for Bitbucket is per user, so it can be costly if not all users are using the product effectively.
I have used Tortoise SVN in the past with various teams. Tortoise SVN is open-source and has a lot of valuable functionality built in. That being said, Bitbucket is more user-friendly being that there is a decent user interface. The UI is not great, but it still makes working with the tool a good amount easier than a typical command-line interface.
