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.

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

BitBucket Server would work really well for small to medium sizes businesses who require a self-hosted code repository. It's less well suited for those who don't want to manage their own infrastructure, and would be better served by something like GitHub or BitBucket Cloud. Additionally we've ran into some small limitations as a large enterprise in regard to some configuration options, and it doesn't allow for zero downtime upgrades for major releases. Finally BitBucket's integration with Bamboo is great, but other automation tools might not integrate quite as tightly.

Bitbucket is well suited for private code repositories. There are tons of excellent integrations, including AWS, Microsoft Azure, Python, Visual Studio, Circle CI. and more. It is well-suited to support individual or team projects.
There are no scenarios where is less appropriate that I can think of, we use it in all our needs successfully.

Bitbucket Server (formerly Stash) is suitable for departments or teams with the capacity to manage and support their own products and the availability to implement the tool on their own infrastructure. Bitbucket Server (formerly Stash) enables a good framework based on git to integrate the development cycle and to handle anything from a minor group of users and repositories to an extended usage with multiple users and roles collaborating in different projects.

Bitbucket and GitHub are the two market leading products when it comes to distributed version control system, or using Git to be specific. You choice is going to come down to what other systems and applications you have in your organization. If you are using other Atlassian applications such as Jira and Bamboo, then Bitbucket would be a better choice due to its deep integrations with them out of the box, and you will get a 1 + 1 > 2 experience.

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.

It works great for our large company. We have many different repositories and it handles them all nicely. If you're just doing your own small little project, you'd be better off probably using something like GitHub.

In my opinion, Stash is well suited for all software houses, however you need to plan ahead because if you don't understand how branching works, it will be a disaster when the source code grows bigger.

Stash is good if you can incorporate it into other Atlassian products, and it is certainly acceptable for simple operations, but it is not as good as other products out there such as GitHub or Gitlab. Stash has nothing to truly separate itself from the crowd apart from its integrations with the rest of the suite of Atlassian products.

Stash is well suited for integration with JIRA. Control code changes in small or large teams is made very easily with Stash. You can assign code reviewers that will be responsible for the code merge. Its integration with JIRA made things very easy and productive. Using JIRA and STASH you are just a few clicks from submitting your code.

Version control is a must these days with the amount and complexity of code continuously increasing at workplace. A scenario where an approver has to approve a piece of code, an analyst needs to compare two different commits and an end user simply wants to download and replicate an entire repository of code, Stash is very useful for it's intuitive interfaces, clean description of error messages and segregation of staging and non staging areas for files. I don't see a scenario where you cant make use of Stash in a software team setup.

Stash is well suited when you want to locally host repos and manage your team without having to manage everything from a terminal. It works well for small teams with big clients that don't want their code hosted off site. This can make auditing and other processes for contract negotiation doable for teams that can't host things outside of their development environment.
