Overall Satisfaction with Bitbucket

We use Bitbucket to store and track our engineering project codes, especially for projects that require collaboration between internal and external teams. Since this is a cloud-based solution, it is very easy for external collaborators on the projects to access the code stored in Bitbucket without having to go through firewalls and set up VPNs.

Pros

  • Deep integration with Trello/Jira and Confluence for issue tracking and documentation
  • Great pricing model for both small and enterprise-level companies (even with a free tier)

Cons

  • Some key important features require third-party add-ons, such as reporting and charts
  • Cannot archive repositories
  • Being part of the Atlassian Cloud suite saved us having to learn/train new tools
  • Integrates with many other applications we use, such as Slack
From a pure source code control solution for GitHub, both Bitbucket and GitHub are very similar. However, Trello/Jira, Confluence, and the rest of the Atlassian Cloud suite is more powerful and feature-rich than the equivalent of what GitHub offers. We ultimately went with Bitbucket.
Atlassian has great support, both free and paid. You can also get a lot of assistance and helpful tips from its community.

Yes

Overall, Bitbucket is a solid solution for both casual users that just want a place to host their private work and businesses that need a reliable cloud source control solution. With the entire Atlassian Cloud suite, you get Trello/Jira for issue tracking, Confluence for documentation, and its pipeline feature for CI/CD, so a one-stop shop for the whole development experience without having to look elsewhere. And if you need to have it hosted on-premises for some reason, it is also possible via their server offering (the entire suite).

However, if you are looking for a home for your new open-source project, then GitHub is definitely the way to go, as it has established itself as the go-to place for open source projects. It has been around longer, the community is bigger, and people (especially the open-source crowd) are more familiar with it.
