Overall Satisfaction with Bitbucket

We use Bitbucket at my organization for version control and storing source code coupled with Mercurial or Git. It is mainly used by the software development division, but other users have access to the repositories to view code and comment.
  • Collaboration is number one. As an Atlassian product, it fits perfectly well with the other tools and enables better collaboration through JIRA, Confluence and Hipchat.
  • Feedback - Very easy to use, you can get approvals and have discussions on the code.
  • Flexibility - Works with Git and Mercurial.
  • Pricing - You pay for what you use and your number of users.
  • Can be complicated to understand for new users, especially when there are integrations with Bitbucket Pipelines and Bamboo.
  • Better feedback loop, so better code quality and earlier.
  • More traceability.
For software development work, Bitbucket is very well suited. It has the flexibility needed to adapt to any software team, no matter what language they use or version control system. It is also scalable, as it can be as useful to small teams or to very big and distributed ones. It is not appropriate if you work on small scripts on your own, as it is useless without the need to synchronize and collaborate on the code.
