Overall Satisfaction with Bitbucket

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Bitbucket as our all-purpose git repository for versioning files on all the projects that we work on, whether internal or external. We also give our clients access to some of those repositories and use a few integrations with our deployment system.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Git versioning.
Web triggers.
Permissions

Cons

Lack of interface to solve conflicts.
Pipelines are complicated to create.
Downtimes are more common than we would like.

Return on Investment

Reduces time with permission management.
Reduce time managing local git server.

Alternatives Considered

GitHub and GitLab

At the time, the licensing was cheaper than the other options, and integrating with Jira was a plus.

Likelihood to Recommend

When advanced resources like pipelines are not needed, and the user wants only the git repository side of the tool, it works fine and is mostly reliable. It's also very well integrated with Jira if the company is using it, too. When more advanced types of deployment are needed or if the development team is big on the same project, better tools are on the market.
