Likelihood to Recommend Bitbucket Server would be good to use if you are not extremely reliant on the availability of your code at any given moment. If you have other systems relying on the up status of Bitbucket Server that can cause problems if unable to reach it -- you might consider going with a different product
Read full review Sourcetree is a great tool for any Git user. Whether you're well versed using Git commands in the terminal or a newbie, this tool wonderfully supplements your workflow. A quick glance at the UI and you know where your project stands. I find it most helpful when I need to determine what changed in a particular file in past commits. Having a visual graph of branches helps me to understand the big picture. Even though I'm comfortable operating Git most often in the command line, I always have Sourcetree open to check my work and see where my colleagues are.
Read full review Pros Pull requests / code reviews are simple but effective - it's easy to discuss the changes and enforce quality gates (through integration with Bamboo) The access control model is fairly granular, with per-branch and per-action permission configuration options There are various plugins available to extend functionality, such as SonarQube Read full review Allows to manage GIT repositories in an intuitive and simple user interface Visually represents complicated workflows and branching Integrates with most well known GIT repository managing services Read full review Cons Bitbucket Server (formerly Stash) should be evaluated for implementation based on the capacity of the environment ownership and support. Insights and analytics reports are basic. Bitbucket Server (formerly Stash) as part of Atlassian tools has some restrictions for centralized user management. Read full review I really cannot find any. For 5 years I am using it, I haven't missed anything Read full review Likelihood to Renew Because we're so locked in, it's likely we'll be using Bitbucket Server for a while, unfortunately.
Read full review Usability The usability of its interface is pretty straight forward when it comes to creating projects and repositories, but when you have to dive into finer grained portions of the UI things can get tricky. If you are used to using tools like
GitHub or Gitlab -- Bitbucket is just different enough to be a bother.
Read full review Support Rating Never really needed any support as the application is very easy to set up and maintain. Any questions we had were well documented in their online documentation, and community forum.
Read full review Alternatives Considered Stash was selected before I was at the company, but we're looking at these alternatives and actively considering switching. Stash seems to have all the necessary features we need to make it work, but it doesn't have any bells and whistles or extra special features that we can use to create more advanced integrations with other products like Jenkins or
Amazon Web Services .
Read full review I tried GitHub Desktop for a couple of days, but it is just not visual enough for me. It has no graph display for branches. Too much clicking is required to get info that the Sourcetree UI shows by default. Sourcetree gives you that "Big Picture" dashboard. GitHub Desktop seems unfinished to me due to its lack of this overview screen.
Read full review Return on Investment Stash has certainly improved the productivity of the team. We no longer have to use Shared Drive on network which is prone to hacks and errors to manage our code. During the process of releases, the release engineering team can pull the latest and approved code from Stash and need not be dependent upon the availability of the developers during their non availability. It improves productivity and fastens the ETA for requests. We have stayed on course for project deadlines since introduction of Stash and helps us achieve the goals of timely completion of projects.
