Bitbucket is widely used as the primary version control tool for managing source code across various organizations and departments. Developers rely on Bitbucket to check in their branches, create pull requests, and merge approved branches into the main branch. It integrates seamlessly with other tools from the Atlassian Jira suite, such as Jira, Bamboo, and Confluence, providing a reliable and easy-to-integrate source control solution. Users appreciate Bitbucket for its ability to store and track code for personal projects, as well as share them with friends and colleagues. It serves as a valuable version control system in web development departments, where each developer has their own account and is assigned to appropriate groups. Bitbucket also meets the needs of hosting Git repositories, offering stability and flexibility for different teams. Its responsive support, free private repositories, easy integration with CI tools, and smooth user interface are highly valued by users. Some users have experienced issues with the Windows client and found the website navigation unintuitive. However, overall, Bitbucket proves to be an indispensable tool for synchronizing work between developers and different teams, including external collaborators or organizations working on private projects. Additionally, small companies benefit from Bitbucket's offer of unlimited private repositories at no cost.
Stability: Users have found Bitbucket to be stable, with minimal unscheduled outages experienced over extended periods of usage. Several reviewers have mentioned that they have not encountered any major issues or disruptions while using the platform.
Code review feature: The code review feature of Bitbucket is considered good by many users. They appreciate the ability to comment on modified code and engage in discussions until a consensus is reached. This functionality has been praised for facilitating effective collaboration and ensuring high-quality code.
Integration with JIRA: Many users value Bitbucket's integration with JIRA, as it allows them to create a new branch directly from a JIRA issue. This feature helps keep code organized and easily accessible. Several reviewers have highlighted how this seamless workflow management enhances collaboration within teams.
Confusing and outdated user interface: Many users have expressed frustration with the confusing and outdated user interface of Bitbucket. They find it difficult to navigate, locate desired settings or features, and describe it as not intuitive or in need of updating.
Limited search engine functionality: The search engine in Bitbucket has been criticized for its limitations. Users have mentioned that it does not search within source code, requiring them to set up a third-party search engine. This lack of comprehensive searching capability hinders their ability to efficiently find specific code snippets or files.
Lack of integration options for third-party apps: Some users have expressed frustration with the limited integration options available for third-party apps in Bitbucket. They mention that this lack of flexibility makes it less convenient to use the tool alongside other tools they rely on for their development workflow.
Users commonly recommend Bitbucket for its strong version control capabilities and integrations with project management tools. They suggest considering Bitbucket, especially if you are already using other Atlassian products. Users also advise giving it a trial period of one month to determine if it meets your needs. Moreover, they mention that Bitbucket is straightforward to manage for basic code. However, some users caution that it may not be the optimal choice for handling multiple branches.

Be it the case where your company has just been founded and there are only one or two engineers, or it has matured into a big organization with huge teams; at both the stages you need to maintain your code base properly. For us, Bitbucket has been the sole code hosting and collaboration tool from the beginning of our organization. For all our projects, we trust Bitbucket.

BitBucket: Secure and Simple Source Controll
Score 5 out of 10
Vetted Review
Verified User
We're using BitBucket for a very long to host our git-based source code repositories in it. Earlier we were using SubVersion (SVN) to manage our source code and we found BitBucket better in all means whether its underneath technology, UI/UX, Security, Collaboration, Commit & merge request, User/Group, and repository management, etc.

Bitbucket is the ultimate version control server ever need
As part of the software development process we need to figure out how to manage the version control, we need to keep the code private and the best option for us was Bitbucket, it fulfilled all the needs we have as a team. We're able to organize projects by clients and create groups, and of course using git to upload our changes.

Reliable and easy to use
We've been using Bitbucket since the start of the company, by our IT team. It helps us synchronize work between developers and different teams, even other organizations. This service is perfect for private projects and has a ton of integrations with different tools like Slack, which helps us keep track of code updates and project development.
Bitbucket is perfect for all sized companies - it works even if you are using the free version and it works even better with the paid versions. Initially, we started out using bitbucket as simply a code repository so we could quickly set up projects - as we expanded and started using Atlassian's project management tools then it became important for us to integrate the development teams with the PM teams. The integrations gave Project Management teams insights into the technical issues without necessarily being burdened by the details. I especially like the ability to have control over changes being deployed directly into production - running continuous integrations to ensure the code quality is maintained!

Easy version control for your code
Our IT team uses Bitbucket for all our Git repositories. A few years ago, we were on a self-hosted Visual Source Safe system and it was not sustainable for us. Since we were moving to Jira, Bitbucket became a very attractive addition. We migrated all of our repositories out of VSS and into Bitbucket and since then have enjoyed using it for code review, pull requests, version control, integration with Jira and automation orchestration. Jira and Bitbucket integration has been a joy to use.

The Good, Bad and Evil of BitBucket
BitBucket is used by the developers and testers in the Technology and Operations group. It helps to version control the code and to implement end-to-end DevOps continuous integration. This is one of the best git-based source code management tools I've used and managed.
We use Bitbucket to manage the source code for all of our clients that do not have their own source control system. The code review feature makes it easy for our teams to evaluate each other's code for quality and consistency with standards. Additionally, we leverage the pipelines feature to provide automated deployments and testing where possible to maximize our CICD process for our projects.

Good Choice for a Code Repository
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.
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.

Start small Scale Big.
- 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.

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.

A very good CI/CD tool for most company sizes
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.

Powerful SCM with its 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.
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

Excellent Application For Source Code Control
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.

A good place to learn and work collaboratively with Git
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.

Bitbucket - Good for Small Companies Who are on a Budget but Lacking the Features to Be the Best
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.

Bitbucket Review
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.

Bitbucket is a great product but still has room for development
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.

A solid and cost-effective option
Bitbucket is currently our primary version control solution. It is being used as a primary system for all code that requires versioning.

Bitbucket meets the needs of our use case.
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.
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 is used by my department as a code repository as well as for automating the build process for applications.
