Likelihood to Recommend As a team we need to push code into the repo on daily basis, Bitbucket has proven that is a reliable and secure server to save and get the code available in no time. The administration part is really easy and there's an extra tool for every developer profile either if you want to use the console or a GUI like
Sourcetree .
Read full review I recommend it for companies that use several programming languages, as it supports several languages such as Java, Javascript, Python, among others. However, for companies that use only one programming language, there are specific tools for each language that can be more complete in this scenario. I do not recommend it for companies that only use open source software, in which case there are other tools available.
Read full review Pros Very easy to integrate with other DevOps tools like Jenkins and with project/workflow management tools like JIRA. Very efficient in managing security and compliance standards for code, especially during pull requests, merge requests, branching, etc. Very robust in performance, especially the cloud and datacenter versions hardly hit any performance issues and supports more than 2000+ developers in my company. Read full review Seamless and easy integrations with GitHub for fantastic pipeline of viewing errors. Intuitive UI which is easy to customize and built-in patterns recommendations and security checks helps to fix issues faster. Metrics and duplication and complexity easily identify areas that need attention to fix it easy. Great for open-source projects. Read full review Cons The code management UI is a bit rough around the edges and difficult to work with. BitBucket does not have the same simplified PR management tools as other competitors. It's not as easy to integrate 3rd party apps as other competitors. Read full review There should be customization to get code quality for your own projects if standards are provided. Offline or a standalone application is much needed from Codacy to get local support. Spots a lot of errors and small ones that don't affect much about quality and are de-facto standards.

The system improves over time with better and better integrations and I look forward to even more features without paying extra! The system has increased transparency across my organization and with this transparency comes increased throughput on projects. I don't think I can go back to any other system and we are definitely married to this product.
Read full review Usability The architecture of Bitbucket makes it more easily scalable than other source code management repositories. Also, administration and maintaining the instance is very easy. It integrates with
JIRA and other CI/CD applications which makes it more useful to reduce the efforts. It supports multiple plugins and those bring a lot of extra functionality. It increases the overall efficiency and usefulness of Bitbucket.
Read full review Support Rating The customer support provided by
Atlassian (Bitbucket's parent company that also makes
Jira ,
Confluence , etc.) is very helpful. They seem to be very concerned about any issues reported with their products and even just questions about functionality. They are constantly improving the products with new features in nearly every release. Plus they have a plethora of online documentation to reference.
Read full review Great company and support team!
Read full review Alternatives Considered For the features we were looking at, Bitbucket,
GitHub and
GitLab were all at par and were in a similar price range. We found that
GitHub was the most full featured should we need to scale very quickly.
GitLab was at par with
GitHub for our future needs, but
GitHub was a more familiar tool compared to
GitLab . Bitbucket won out because of its close integration with
Jira and being in the
Atlassian family. It was also cheaper than
GitHub . As we started with
Jira , Bitbucket addition became a natural next step for us. We really liked Bitbucket and stayed with it but we do know we have great options in the form of
GitHub and
GitLab should we need to scale fast.

SonarQube is free, we chose Codacy because it is simpler to configure and maintain the implemented rules. In addition, it offers support for the main programming languages on the market, ensuring that we can continue to use it if we want to use other languages in new products.
