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.

We use Bitbucket to store and track our engineering project codes, especially for projects that require collaboration between internal and external teams. Since this is a cloud-based solution, it is very easy for external collaborators on the projects to access the code stored in Bitbucket without having to go through firewalls and set up VPNs.
- Deep integration with Trello/Jira and Confluence for issue tracking and documentation
- Great pricing model for both small and enterprise-level companies (even with a free tier)
- Some key important features require third-party add-ons, such as reporting and charts
- Cannot archive repositories

Bitbucket is used by all of our developers across our organization. As our official source code management system, Bitbucket saves time and money on programming projects. It makes it easier for our employees to collaborate, while also providing a reliable backup of all previous versions of our source code if we need to revert any changes quickly.
- Collaboration - Bitbucket makes it easy for large teams to work together on programming projects.
- Code Search - Source code is indexed and searchable.
- Issue Tracking - Bitbucket doesn't seem to be built with issue tracking in mind.
- Third-Party Support - There are still a lot of other vendors that don't integrate with Bitbucket, even if they offer integrations for GitHub or other similar tools.
We use Bitbucket in our group to store the code files of group members and keep it organized. It is being used by a research group.
- Repository for code files in different languages (Python, C++).
- Share code with other people.
- Speed up the pull and push request for bigger files.
- Increase and promote community support.

We used Bitbucket for a while as a source control management. It integrates really well with JIRA and is fairly decent at doing what it needs to do. It was used across the entire development team as a source code repository and code review platform. It enabled us to comment on pull requests and code

All the dev groups in our organization use a hosted instance of Bitbucket. Typically each department has their own project with the exception being projects for shared libraries used across multiple products. Bitbucket allows us to efficiently manage the code base of products across our organization.
- Bitbucket allows us to create merge rules specific to the needs of each repository.
- Bitbucket allows for integrations with build tools such as TeamCity so we can ensure successful builds of branches and pull requests before merging.
- The different tools and comment tracking on pull requests are super convenient.
- There is a learning curve to the UI and user management tools.

It is used across all of the organization by all developers. It is used primarily as a source code version control repository but some of the teams use it as a binary repository as well. It is used for code review by developers. Bitbucket also supports add-ons which help users get customized functionality in the application, helping them to work easily and adapt it the way they want.
- Bitbucket provides more flexibility in using custom plugins, which helps developers to use required functionalities in Bitbucket which may not be available by default.
- Bitbucket allows configuring SSH key of the server which helps to clone and commit the code very fast & very easily.
- Third-party plugins which were recommended by the Atlassian. We installed it in our instance but we don’t get proper support in case of any issues in the instance because of the plugin. Sometimes Git doesn’t work with bitbucket well so Atlassian should help in troubleshooting as Git is recommended client by the Atlassian.
- Bitbucket doesn’t have the capability to generate the graphs and customised reports of source code repos. For reports, we need to use Atlassian recommended third party plugins but those are having a lot of performance issues in the whole instance and the vendor doesn’t provide the resolutions in a timely manner.
- Bitbucket does not capture the details about the force push. There should be some way to capture the details of force push as force push deletes the history.

Bitbucket is being used in almost all of our projects. It is even being used to teach new software engineers like us how to use Git as it is very easy to use with a non-cluttered user interface. We mostly used it so far with our SonarQube integration for detecting code vulnerabilities and bad code structure. Personally, I use it with my UI Git which is GitKraken as I could directly push and pull request commits from that GIT application without going to BitBucket.
- CI/CD.
- Slack integration.
- I want to see analytics functionality, like commits, merges per week or month, etc.

It is/was being used as the primary version control provider for 2 of the companies I have worked for. It allowed us to store our Git commit history on remote servers and share it with all employees so that everyone is using the correct code. It allows for free private repositories for small teams which was nice for a young startup.
- Free private repositories for small teams - this is great to save costs relative to other options
- They have some robust (although sometimes confusing) team and project management tools
- They have built out many pipeline and integrations, but we did not use these
- 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.
- Bitbucket is used across the whole organization.
- Helpful in continuous integrations.
- Helpful in incremental builds if used along with other software that supports it.
- Helpful in private repository management, we host our private repositories on bitbucket and use it internally within the organization.
- It can be integrated with other third-party apps to showcase how the task is ongoing.
- Continuous integration - Multiple people can work simultaneously on the same project.
- Private repositories- Can be created on the cloud and can be used internally.
- Pricing - limited number of repositories can be created for free.
- Per project pricing is a bit more compared to other competitors.

In most of my experiences, both with personal projects working from home and working with clients remotely, doing freelance or working directly with a company, all of them had some sort of repository service available online to securely store their code and to allow teams of software developers of different sizes to collaborate in projects of all sizes. For some specific cases, I found companies using Bitbucket heavily, in some cases. combined with other options mostly to have a "plan b" in case Bitbucket would change their privacy settings. I have seen Bitbucket not only being used as a repository but also being used to fully run all the continuous integration and continuous deployment strategy, using most of its capabilities to have tickets, integrations with hooks and even pipelines to different VPS providers. One of the good things about Bitbucket for small companies is the fact that they offer you at no cost unlimited private repositories, unlike other providers where you need to pay a fee. It also has a great Jira integration which comes in handy when your company uses other Atlassian products. It also has integration with other tools but other repository providers also count on these integrations so if you choose to use BitBucket it will be more personal preference and choosing the right tool for your necessities.
- Unlimited private repositories.
- Pull requests and code reviews.
- The configuration can be tricky sometimes unlike with other tools.
We use Bitbucket in our client location. It is used as a standard SCM tool for the entire client across all domains.
It helps to store and maintain your code along with easy configuration with other Atlassian tools like Confluence and Jira. Its sync between other Atlassian products is a great benefit for the management of teams.
- Source of management
- Code review
- Create pipelines within the app.
- Syncs with other tools.

Bitbucket is being used worldwide by my organization. In my department, it is being used fo manage source codes for internally developed applications. As we use JIRA also to manage the requests, we can link the demands with corrections that should be made in the developed applications. Also, we use Bitbucket to hold legacy application codes.
- Easy to use.
- Integrated with JIRA.
- License cost.
- Sometimes integrated applications like SourceTree perform strange errors, causing loss of time.
We used Bitbucket for hosting several private code repositories for our business. I’ve also used it a bit for personal projects. It is very easy to get started and is a great solution for hosting private repositories. Atlassian has many products under its umbrella and integrating Bitbucket with other services is made really easy.
- Hosting private repos.
- Managing team collaborators.
- Integrating with other Atlassian products.
- The markdown used for issues was lacking compared to GitHub.
- Pricing for a small team was a bit more than competitors.
- The interface is a bit too “business” class and not very intuitive.

This is a great replacement for SVN. You can save all your codes or necessary documents on the network rather than saving them locally on a computer. This not only lets everybody in your company use your codes, but it also prevents it from getting lost due to computer breakdown, theft, etc.
- Saving codes on a server.
- Easy to use.
- Don't necessarily have to use terminal to do Git operations.
- It can make it more user-friendly so that first-time users find it easy to work with.
- It is costly.
- Setup is a bit tricky.

Bitbucket is currently our primary version control solution. It is being used as a primary system for all code that requires versioning.
- For what it is, Bitbucket works very well.
- Ease of use - Navigating the UI is pretty seamless and straightforward.
- Plugins - Bitbucket has a wide array of plugins available that allow pretty easy integrations with other tools and systems.
- Reliability - In my experience, bitbucket is not the most reliable solution available.
- Restoring - Plugins seem to be all or nothing when restoring. This makes knowing which things are enabled not the greatest experience when an event happens and you must restore. Several days of “well, we noticed this feature was missing” is pretty painful in the way of end-user experience.
- Permissions - In many ways, setting specific permissions for projects and repositories are not as intuitive as other solutions available.
We have a dedicated team that is using Bitbucket in the organization today. They were part of a prior acquisition that was setup on the Atlassian tool set. It's used in conjunction with other Atlassian tools including JIRA, and Bamboo to facilitate development processes and source code management. It's worth noting that Dynacare is using both Bitbucket and VSTS for our source code management.
- Bitbucket is very simple as a code repository goes. You can't really go wrong if you choose to keep private repositories here.
- If you're ok with the basics, the pricing point is competitive compared to alternatives like VSTS which can cost more.
- Integration to other Atlassian tools is well done. JIRA integration, for instance, enables branching and code reviews right from the JIRA tickets, which can improve work efficiency. If you choose to also purchase Bamboo, automated builds and deployments hook into the repositories and provide icons to determine if the build is working or broken.
- Management of the repositories and projects is simple and easy to use.
- Getting support for an issue is relatively speedy and the staff are usually able to help you resolve issues quickly.
- The UI needs a refresh because it feels so dated and clunky.
- CI is not available in the free tier. Costs of Bamboo to get CI builds can be expensive.

This great software called Bitbucket is being used in the software development deparment since it is very useful. It provides the optimal tools to carry out the development of large business projects making communication, writing code, testing and implementation much simpler because we can access all of this in one place. It also allows us to access our private repositories in a much more secure way because we are the ones who give permission to access them. The implementation of this software has facilitated the administration of codes as well as the management of projects.
- Intuitive and interactive interface.
- Provides security to all our codes.
- It offers unlimited private repositories.
- Its integration with other tools makes its operation much more powerful.
- Provides the most optimal tools to carry out the development of projects in a safe and simple way.
- Its integrations are very limited since it is only integrated with tools from the same company.
- When you want to create very large projects, your platform tends to slow down so when you want to test the codes and implement them, it is difficult to proceed.
- Your only way to get all the tools or features of your platform is through premium users.
- Collaborative work, although it is a great advantage, can also imply more expenses, especially if it is executed through its integration with other tools.

Across our whole organization, we are using the Bitbucket platform. We are using Bitbucket for code versioning and managing our source codes. Our development teams collaborate and manage the source codes within the platform. We can set access permissions for repositories, and also the user interfaces are very easy to use. It is the ideal way to manage and store our source codes.
- Easy to version our source codes.
- We can ensure maximum protection for our valuable source codes.
- Can set access permissions for repositories.
- We can easily review source codes.
- When the service is down, it will remain down for more than 1 or 2 hours.
- Unable to archive repositories.
- It would be great if we could have some improvements to the user interfaces and user experiences.

Bitbucket is a git repository management solution designed for professional teams. It gives us a central place to manage git repositories, collaborate on our source code and guide us through the development flow. It facilitate us to work with sourcetree git client applications which provide a graphical user interface to interact with our git repositories. It helps us collaborate better on code and integrates well with other Atlassian tools like Jira and Bamboo, which makes it easier to implement DevOps processes and keep track of the development workflow. Therefore working with Bitbucket is so easy. Beginners can start working on Bitbucket without knowing git commands. And also it provides strong access control. We can ensure the safety of our project in Bitbucket. I am using Bitbucket for managing my own projects. Before that I tried several version control systems to do that but only Bitbucket provides me with a flexible way to manage my projects. Also we have no need to worry about the commands which are being used in git. By using the sourcetree git client we can do all the version controlling task very easily. I recommend that all of you use Bitbucket for doing your version control tasks.
- Easy to track who has been making changes to the repository.
- Each developer can have his/her local repository and keep changes in sync with the server.
- Excellent auditing tools
- Simple interface and file management through built-in SourceTree integration.
- It provides limited space for community edition.
- No ability to nest repositories.
- Server version does not allow a README to be generated automatically when a repository is created (only available in the Cloud version).
- No ability to archive a repository (and moving to a different project changes the hyperlink path).

Bitbucket is used by my department as a code repository as well as for automating the build process for applications.
- Good integration with other Atlassian products as well as 3rd party products like Slack.
- Good for code review via pull requests.
- Pipeline feature is very useful for automating the build process.
- Could integrate better with a documentation tool, like GitHub does.

Bitbucket Server is being rolled out to select development departments in our organization. At this time, our department is still evaluating the solution. We are not sure if we will transition to using it as our production code repository.
- Ability to manage file versioning. Each developer can have his/her local repository and keep changes in sync with the server.
- Simple interface and file management through built-in SourceTree integration.
- Excellent auditing tools. Easy to track who has been making changes to the repository.
- No ability to nest repositories.
- Server version does not allow a README to be generated automatically when a repository is created (only available in the Cloud version).
- No ability to archive a repository (and moving to a different project changes the hyperlink path).

We're using Bitbucket (formerly Stash) across most of the engineering organizations. It helps us collaborate better on code and integrates well with other Atlassian tools like Jira and Bamboo, which makes it easier to implement DevOps processes and keep track of the development workflow.
- Integration with other Atlassian products is great. Of course, this is probably the main reason people go with any of the Atlassian products, that they integrate with each other so seamlessly
- It has a lot of automatic features relating to Jira and Bamboo, like exposing Bamboo job runs. This allows you to make better decisions about whether or not to merge a pull request, for example.
- The new UI is based off Atlassian's new aesthetic, which makes the tool a pleasure to use. While not a "hard" feature, developer happiness is an important benefit
- Using Jira for issues gives a lot of power, but it's also a lot of overhead and complexity that may or may not be necessary for your organization. It also puts issues in another tool, adding a little friction when it comes to addressing issues in your code
- Searching for and discovering other projects and GitHub isn't quite as intuitive or easy to use as competitors

We use Bitbucket as the source control repository for over twenty repositories. It is primarily used by the Development team, but operations and quality assurance teams use it to a limited extent as well.
- Bitbucket provides a cloud-based Git solution for our source control repositories, which makes it ideal for both on-site and remote working environments.
- Bitbucket provides very tight integration with Jira, another Atlassian product that we use for product and task management.
- Bitbucket makes it easy to view changes to files over time, empowering research on what went wrong, when, and by whom.
- Bitbucket allows private repositories in their free version - a major advantage over GitHub.
- The Bitbucket labs view of file history (beta of upcoming changes) is a big step in the wrong direction. While it makes some navigation easier, it completely removes the most used function of file history - the ability to view all the commits against a file, and quickly get to the exact changes each of those commits had on the file you are researching. Hopefully, they will listen to feedback and implement the UX improvements while not losing the most important function of the page.
- I'd like for a more streamlined UX viewing all the specific changes to a file over time and the commits they belong to.
- Bitbucket could also benefit from a good graphical view of branches like GitKraken has.
We mainly use Bitbucket across all our department to easily manage our in-development projects. We find it really easy to use, and it saves us a lot of time and effort to manage our projects. With this nice tool, we can easily manage, review and monitor our code, plus it gives an amazing integration with JIRA.
- Very simple usage
- JIRA Integration
- Can be run on your own servers
- Issue tracker
- Low cost
- Sometimes slow
- Privileged access
