Overall Satisfaction with Bitbucket

We're using BitBucket for a very long to host our git-based source code repositories in it. Earlier we were using SubVersion (SVN) to manage our source code and we found BitBucket better in all means whether its underneath technology, UI/UX, Security, Collaboration, Commit & merge request, User/Group, and repository management, etc.
  • Hosting Source code repositories.
  • User and Group management.
  • Sending Email notifications on Commits and merges.
  • It has a tight integration with Atlassian tools such as Jira, Confluence etc.
  • It doesn't have a built in CI/CD.
  • It doesn't have anything else other than source code repositories hosting.
  • It has stopped support of HTTPs based authentication only SSH is supported.
  • Its tight integration with Atlassian tools such as Jenkins and Confluence.
  • Its simplicity of managing source code.
  • Good User interface and User experience.
  • Earlier it was very helpful for us when we migrated to it from SVN to manage our source code at that time it saves a lot of time which was spent in managing users/groups projects and code merging.
  • Nowadays people aren't liking BitBucket anymore as it doesn't have rice features as are in other source control tools like GitHub and GitLab. Now It's not making any good impact on our business.
When we make the choice of using BitBucket at that time we didn't have a choice. It was better than GitHub but nowadays GitHub is not just a source control tool it's a DevOps platform. If we talk about GitLab it is even better than GitHub. We're in the process to phase out BitBucket and start using GitLab.

If you're looking for hosting your Git-based source code repositories or simply managing your source code, BitBucket does it well. You can create projects in BitBucket and source code repositories under the projects. Also, you can manage access to projects for users/groups using role-based access control. BitBucket will not suit you if you are into DevOps processes as it only manages your source code nothing other than that.
