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.

Excellent Collaboration Solution for IT Teams
Bitbucket is used mainly by the IT Application and Development team plus the IT Developer and Operations team. There are other departments using it, but with minimum interaction. It has helped a lot to produce better code, consistent deployments, testing and great collaboration with all the teams. Since we [started] using it, our internal clients' confidence in IT has improved.
- Project management
- Collaboration
- Testing
- Integration
- Better deployments
- Interface is not intuitive
- Improve services to our internal and external clients
- Improve revenue capture
- Improve company services and image
- Fast delivery of services
- Git and Azure DevOps Server (formerly Team Foundation Server)

Functional but Free of Fun Extras
Our entire organization uses Stash for all code repositories. We store code in repositories specific to applications. Each department has control over a section of repositories. Some applications are spread across multiple repositories when they have deep collections of dependencies or scripts. We also use the pull requests system of stash for all code changes. Most if not all departments require two approvers for every pull request to be merged.
- Integrations with HipChat are solid, informative, and easy.
- Pull requests are easy to comment on, discuss, approve, deny, and merge. It has a very intuitive workflow.
- It's difficult to create flexible pull requests that might need to be approved by 4 people and others by only 1 person. All pull requests require the same number of approvers
- Maneuvering through the git-components of Stash to look at particular branches, diff branches, or view tags can be difficult, tedious, or impossible. Direct support for some more advanced git actions would be appreciated.
- There is no readme concept (like in GitHub) for a repository.
- In positive form, having Stash over not having it at all has provided us with a superior repository system over trying to push to some local server instance and manage branches/merging from our local machines.
- There are no real negatives to using Stash, its only problem is that there are competitors out there that can offer additional features.
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.

Stash it, Bash it, You Can't Crash It!
We use Stash locally for projects that we just don't want hosted elsewhere. It gives our clients peace of mind, as well as gives our developers the tools they need for developing. Stash is very similar to the hosted Bitbucket, and recently was pivoted to be more in line with that service, however it is extremely easy and straightforward for a small agile team to host Stash compared to other options.
- Version Control Environment.
- Easy set up and maintenance.
- It is really really reasonably priced!
- The features aren't in parity with Bitbucket, but are getting better.
- Upgrading to new versions of Stash.
- Solving technical issues that pop up from time to time can be confusing.
- Self Hosted Git is a huge timesaver
- Extremely cost effective with no impact in overall budgets
- Saves time so you can focus on the code
It can be daunting to set up a Git server for a developer. Managing it can be more time consuming than you want it to be. Stash helps you out by handling what you likely need. If you are already a Git pro, you won't need it, but our team loves the simplicity that Stash brings to our workflow without having to worry about going into a complicated Git setup.
