Overall Satisfaction with Bitbucket

It is actually the tool used to share our apps code by the whole organization. It works perfectly as needed. There have been very few times when the service was unavailable so I would say it is pretty reliable, which is very important for this kind of product.
Lately they have updated the user interface and I find it much better than before. As I'm not usually writing code I do use the web interface to look things up when needed.
  • Works seamlessly with our build tool (Drone CI)
  • Easy and clean UI for exploring the repo
  • Reliable service
  • Improve the file diff tool
  • Have an official mobile app, mainly to be able to look at updates, PR, commits, etc.
  • It is a basic tool for our daily work. We wouldn't be able to work without it, but we can for sure replace it with a competitor.
We are using Bitbucket because of budget. It is cheaper, at least for our actual size. And we don't need any extra features that could be missing. Another option would be to install on your own servers but that sure has a lot of overhead, specially for small organizations. I haven't found any deal breakers that would make me use GitHub instead of Bitbucket.
I haven't used much of the competition to be able to describe different scenarios which are better for one product or another, but from my experience, Bitbucket works perfectly for small teams, 2-10 people at least. It's a good price for startups on a budget. I have also been using it as a student and it was great to be able to have private repos for free.
