Overall Satisfaction with Bitbucket
Bitbucket is used in my company to share some git repositories with third party entities. Due to some restrictions of networks and security, when a code share is needed between the company and third parties, this is the tool used to share code.
- Unlimited private repositories for free for teams up to 5 elements. Even for larger teams, the prices are affordable.
- Great integration with JIRA, allows to create branches from a JIRA issue.
- Multiple login options: Google + (preferable), but also GitHub, Facebook and Twitter
- Allow to import project from other sources: Git, Mercurial, Subversion, SourceForge and CodePlex
- Allows to create repositories in Git or Mercurial
- Excellent for academic purposes
- Doesn't have a massive community behind it like GitHub
- If you want to host BitBucket in your servers, the price will increase a lot
- Web UI could be improved, some tasks like see all branches or search on code could be a huge pain
- Was a huge improvement to share code with third parties, which was not possible when both companies have a self hosted versioning server/technology.
GitHub has a huge community to support, so, beside the price, is the best tool I've used as a git server.
Gitlab is very similar to BitBucket, and for a free version as less limitations. Also is cheaper for companies, but doesn't have a smooth integration with JIRA. Also has a lot of integrations with other tools, but BitBucket is better with Atlassian eco-system.
