Overall Satisfaction with Bitbucket

We use Bitbucket across our whole organization. It helps us keep track of all of our GIT repositories and allows us to review code in a timely and organized way. It allows the organization to keep repositories isolated to certain people and allows for sharing of other repositories with everyone in the company if there is the need for company wide tools.
  • I really like the way pull requests are viewable in one location and are easy to find
  • I like not having to pull down whole repositories just to view a simple line of code if needed
  • Setting up ssh keys and integrations worked very well
  • Integrations with our teamcity servers has been very smooth
  • This is partly due to organization of our teams, but at times I am added to way too many pull requests automatically.
  • It would be nice to have functionality that looks for certain files changed or folders in pull requests to add reviewers.
  • Bitbucket helped us with the transition from using SVN to GIT, it made the transition much smoother.
  • Pull requests allow for finding defects much earlier in the code process, and is invaluable.
I haven't really researched a whole lot with GitHub or SourceForge. I know there are a lot of people that use GitHub and it has kind of become a bit part of the industry. Whenever i have used GitHub to submit pull requests it has also seemed pretty easy to do, but I haven't ever used GitHub to merge pull requests or do any other administrative tasks like i have with BitBucket.

I know next to nothing about SourceForge, and just listed it as an alternative.
Bitbucket is very well suited in both small and large organizations. It has done well for me when I only had a couple repositories that I was working on personally and it has done well with a larger organization with hundreds of repositories.

I would only not suggest it when there aren't any repositories created or collaborative documents/files that need to be changed.
