Overall Satisfaction with Bitbucket

Bitbucket is used by our organization to store and maintain codebases of number of completed and ongoing projects. As an IT department of the organization, we rely extensively on Bitbucket to maintain those repositories. We have number of developers who work on the same project and Bitbucket allows us to systematically collaborate and manage those projects by taking care of version control.
  • It is quite straightforward and easy to create a repository, share it, clone it and start working on it right away.
  • It maintains all the code changes, manages the versions and also allows to revert them back.
  • It allows to creates branches that makes it easier to work on a special feature before merging it back to the master codebase.
  • It has been really easy to work with it, can't complain.
  • Bitbucket helped us to get rid of our local servers, their maintenance costs and the risk of loss of data.
  • The easy process to add/clone repositories has increased efficiency in collaboration among the developers.
  • Being able to visually see the changes and having the ability to revert back the versions has saved lot of working hours.
It is free for a small team up to five users which makes it appealing for anyone starting out. The other plans are also reasonable too. Since Bitbucket is a part of the Atlassian Inc., there is a seamless integration between Jira. Also, the integration with Trello is an added benefit which allows collaboration.
It is most suited when you have more than one developer working on the same project. It is easy to keep track of the changes. Also, if you're working on creating new features, you could branch out from the master codebase and later merge it easily. I can't say that it's not useful for a single developer because even so having a repository and maintaining one's code in Bitbucket allows them to have much better control over the version and code reversal. It is also a good way to keep you code backed up.
